SUMMARY:DC Oral History Collaborative: Oral History 101+ Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This course\, led by Anna F. Kaplan\, PhD.\, will introduce Washingtonians interested in becoming oral historians to the best practices of doing oral history\, to empower them with the basic tools for developing their style and approach to preserving DC’s rich past through oral history interviews. \nThis course is structured to follow the full cycle of an oral history interview\, from conception to processing. We will discuss practical and theoretical considerations of doing oral history in order to demonstrate the distinctive\, interdisciplinary mindset that oral historians take to their work. Because oral history is best learned “on the job\,” the instructor will ask you to do activities and to discuss your experiences along the way. \nThere is a lot of material to cover\, so participants will also be asked to do some reading and exercises prior to each session. \nThis workshop consists of three sessions – registrants must commit to participating in all three sessions. \nRegistration Link \n— \nJanuary 13\, 14\, 16 \n6:00pm-8:00pm \nMartin Luther King\, Jr. – 4th Floor Conference Room Space – 401-C \n— \nThe DC Oral History Collaborative (DCOHC) documents\, preserves\, and celebrates the lived experiences of all Washington\, DC residents and communities through oral history. The Collaborative accomplishes this by providing training\, mentorship\, resources\, programs\, and funding to current and aspiring oral historians.

SUMMARY:Culture Series: District of Cats
DESCRIPTION:Event Details: \nEvery year\, dozens of cyclists periodically meet up for “alleycats”: unsanctioned scavenger hunts-turned-races sprung by daring local bike couriers onto DC streets. They make for an eclectic\, if temporary\, community: male\, female\, nonbinary\, queer; old and young; a jumble of races and ethnicities; athletes in spandex and those riding in street clothes. Careening between local landmarks and mini-games that constitute a race\, riders compete hard even as they guard each others’ backs while weaving through rush hour car traffic. Once exclusive to the bike messenger community\, alleycats have attracted a broader range of cyclists as couriering has become a threatened way of life. \nSince their introduction in the 1990s\, how has the bike messenger community—and the alleycats they throw—adapted to the social and economic shifts within the District? In an evening conversation with just the right amount of audience participation\, the co-curators of the DC Oral History project “District of Cats” will sit with three legends of the DC bike messenger scene to get their thoughts on these and other questions\, and a bike’s-eye view of the District as a whole. \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nHost: HumanitiesDC\nDate: September 12\, 2024 • 7PM\nLocation: Busboys and Poets\, 625 Monroe Street NE 20017 \nEvent fee: Free\nRegistration Event link \nFor More Information\nContact: Jimmy Watkins\nWebsite: humanitiesdc.org\nEmail: jwatkins@humanitiesdc.org\nPhone: 202.770.3077 Ext. 806

SUMMARY:Alliance for New Music-Theatre: The Man Ray Project: Caesar & The Mannequin
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the Man Ray painting “Shakespearean Equation: Julius Caesar\,” in the Phillips collection\, Composer Andrew E. Simpson and Librettist Susan Galbraith have concocted a Dadaist fantastical story of a “Caesar\,” a character who is determined to cling to power at whatever cost and sings\, “You can?t stick me in a closet; I will not stay there.” This full live-plus-mixed-media work is expanded from a prescient 2020 opera film produced in response to COVID. In 2024 as we careen toward the November election the story is even more prescient and dangerously relevant today than it was four years ago. In a fit of brilliance (or is it a dream?)\, Dadaist artist (Wo)Man-Ray reaches deep into his/her imagination to orchestrate the real-life meeting of two of his/her inspirations: an animate bust of Julius Caesar\, and (Wo)Man?s sometime lover\, the sexy model/mannequin Kiki. As the rapt creator loosens the strings of his/her living playthings\, simmering conflicts escalate between political power and the power of art; between man\, woman and (Wo)Man; between truth and history. Kiki vies for agency\, (Wo)Man to create something permanent and true\, and Caesar\, full of dictatorial pretentions\, to cling to power at all costs. Each wields violence\, mockery\, and subjugation against the others while the artist tries desperately to make sense of it all. Will this be the end of the Republic?
