SUMMARY:Double Exposure Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Double Exposure combines four days of film screenings and a public forum including panel discussions\, workshops\, and special events. \nThis year’s Double Exposure turns on a single question: what happens to a democracy when the record itself is under assault\, not only from those who manufacture doubt\, but from the institutions once trusted to dispel it? \nOn the Record once implied security. To speak on the record was to be heard\, held\, verified. That assurance has grown fragile. The doubt this year’s theme names goes beyond a failure of attention or good will. It has been produced by platforms that delete inconvenient histories\, by officials who quietly remove data from public websites\, by a media landscape in which false information travels faster than correction\, and by powerful organizations that quietly revise what they once asserted\, without acknowledging on the record that they were ever wrong. \nThe DX slate engages both realities: the deliberate assault on facts\, and the earned skepticism that accumulates when the systems designed to anchor truth repeatedly come up short. Each film and discussion on this year’s program asks audiences to look at evidence directly\, and to weigh it themselves. \n  \nRegister

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Your City Your Story (Double Exposure Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a community stops waiting on institutions and does accountability’s work itself? In Los Angeles\, the gay community banded together to investigate a cold case murder and push it toward resolution — the subject of Rachel Mason’s new film My Brother’s Killer. It’s happening nationwide as legacy news organizations scale back and new local news outlets emerge: Chicago-based City Bureau trains community members to cover public meetings; Outlier Media in Detroit involved citizens in connecting residents to money the county owed them after selling their homes at auction. Other news platforms train citizens in filing FOIA requests\, with OpenAI even providing a generator to automate the process. This session is about building a record where none exists — tools for everyone\, and the networks to use them safely. \n\nFeaturing Lois Nembhard\, George Kevin Jordan\, Rachel Mason\, Sonam Vashi\, and Noah Kincade. \n\n  \nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nDouble Exposure offers a variety of festival passes that provide attendees with priority access to a range of events. We also offer a limited number of standalone tickets to individual events\, providing a more flexible way to participate.

SUMMARY:Supreme Court Justice Arthur and Dorothy Goldberg's Legendary Passover Seders
DESCRIPTION:In 1960s Washington\, the Goldbergs hosted annual seders famous for weaving the Haggadah together with the songs and history of the labor movement. As Arthur Goldberg’s career carried him from representing steelworkers\, to serving as JFK’s Labor Secretary\, to a seat on the Supreme Court\, the guest list grew from local Jewish families and labor leaders to include Washington’s A-list. Arthur and his wife\, Dorothy––an artist and activist in her own right––filled their civil-rights-themed seders with joy and music. \nJoin us for a night of stories from guests lucky enough to have known the Goldbergs and attended these gatherings. \n  \nRegister\n  \n(Picture Dorothy singing Yiddish labor songs\, AFL-CIO leader George Meany belting Irish ballads\, and Chief Justice Earl Warren warbling – The Yellow Rose of Texas.)

SUMMARY:The Promise and Perils of Public Art: Ben Shahn's Murals on Social Security
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Laura Katzman as she discusses the public art of Ben Shahn (1898-1969)\, focusing on his most prominent New Deal fresco murals\, The Meaning of Social Security\, which were commissioned by the Public Works Agency’s Section of Fine Arts (1940-1942) for the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building in Washington. \nDr. Katzman will address how Shahn navigated the demands of federal agencies\, the needs of his own art/activism\, and the larger goals of his social criticism. The program will illuminate the status of Shahn’s murals in the context of the current administration?s controversial efforts to sell specific government buildings and its drastic staff cuts to the General Services Administration––the official steward of federally funded art in government buildings across the United States. \n  \n  \nRegister
