SUMMARY:Keep the Mic Close – Audio Techniques for Oral History
DESCRIPTION:Event Details: \nThis core workshop in the DC Oral History Collaborative Training Series will take an in-depth look at some of the techniques that oral historians use to get high-quality audio from their recording equipment. While the workshop will focus on the Zoom H4n audio recorder\, many of the skills and practices introduced can be used for recording with any technologies. In this workshop\, attendees will: \n• Learn how to optimize settings on their audio recorders to get the best audio. \n• Discover how\, at a fundamental level\, their narrators’ voices are encoded into preservation-quality digital files. \n• Understand some of the most common causes of poor audio quality and how to set up their interview space to avoid them. \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. The Collaborative is a partnership of HumanitiesDC and the DC Public Library. \n  \nHost: HumanitiesDC\nDate: May 20\, 2024 • 6PM\nLocation: Martin Luther King Jr. Library 901 G Street NW\, Washington\, DC 20001\nEvent fee: Free\nRegistration: Event Link  \nFor More Information\nContact: Jasper Collier\nWebsite: humanitiesdc.org\nEmail: jcollier@humanitiesdc.org\nPhone: 202.770.3077 Ext. 804

SUMMARY:Culture Series: Narratives of Black Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Event Details:\n  \nJoin HumanitiesDC and guest curator Jermaine Jones to explore how Black literature produced from the 20th century up to today offers quasi essential history of a resilient cultural movement\, investigates the power of Black pliability under Jim Crow and systemic racism\, and celebrates the rebellious power of Black imagination. \nBlack Literature is instrumental in defeating the “Rashomon Effect“ and anachronistic racism\, dismantling barriers of inequality\, discrimination\, and typecast. More importantly\, Black literature has been pivotal in functioning as the defense attorney for Black culture and helping the world understand the challenges and triumphs experienced by Black people in America. Black literature is also responsible for shaping the culture\, identities\, and voices of a considerable number of cities in America\, including Washington\, DC. \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nHost: HumanitiesDC\nDate: May 16\, 2024 • 7PM\nLocation: Busboys and Poets\, 625 Monroe Street NE\, Washington\, DC 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:Art of Resilience: Celebrating DC's Black Arts Community
DESCRIPTION:Event Details:\nJoin us for this exciting opportunity to hear the stories of some of DC’s most iconic Black visual artists. The speakers will talk about their lives and their work and will share archived oral histories they’ve given as part of the DC Oral History Collaborative collection in the People’s Archive. While they share their memories\, contemporary portrait artists will be live-painting them and the finished portraits will be displayed at the DC Public Library. \nThis is a rare chance to learn about the DC Black arts scene in the 60’s\, 70’s and 80’s\, a time when a strong community of curators and gallery owners worked collaboratively to support a burgeoning community of Black artists in the District\, from the artists themselves. \nThe event will be held in the “New Books” space at the Martin Luther King\, Jr. Memorial Library\, near the library cafe. The closest metro stop is Gallery Place – Chinatown. \n  \nHost: HumanitiesDC\nDate: May 4\, 2024 • 1PM\nLocation: Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library\, 901 G Street Northwest Washington\, DC 20001\nEvent fee: Free\nRegistration Event link \nFor More Information\nContact: Jasper Collier\nWebsite: humanitiesdc.org\nEmail: jcollier@humanitiesdc.org\nPhone: 202.387.8391

SUMMARY:¿Qué es la historia oral y por qué es importante?
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nEste taller introductorio explorará qué es la historia oral\, cómo esta herramienta se ha utilizado para la preservación de historias comunitarias y su relación con las entrevistas y los cuentos cotidianos. Los participantes tendrán la oportunidad de aprender qué factores y eventos motivan a historiadores orales a documentar historias comunitarias utilizando esta forma de narración. Durante el taller\, los participantes tendrán la oportunidad de aprender cómo pueden encontrar y explorar archivos de entrevistas que narran historias comunitarias (especialmente\, las historias dirigidas hacia la comunidad Latina de Washington\, D.C.\, Maryland y Virginia). En este proceso\, identificarán elementos básicos de una buena entrevista y tendrán la oportunidad de pensar cómo les pueden servir las historias orales para documentar sus propias historias o empezar proyectos académicos. \nEste taller será liderada en español por José Centeno-Meléndez\, un historiador local que utiliza la historia oral como herramienta para documentar las contribuciones/las vidas de latinos y salvadoreños en el DMV. \nThis introductory workshop will help participants define oral history in relationship to the history of the practice and other forms of interviewing and storytelling. Participants will learn what motivates oral historians to do their work and what might motivate them to initiate projects of their own. Participants will also learn how to discover archival oral history interviews and begin to understand what makes a good interview. Finally\, participants will think about how to turn their topical interests into guiding research questions. \n  \nHost: HumanitiesDC\nDate: April 25\, 2024 • 6PM\nLocation: Mt.

SUMMARY:Dr. Janaki Rangarajan: YONI
DESCRIPTION:“YONI” is a dance/spoken word endeavor that explores the myriad shades of female energy to question our (mis)understanding of female existence today. “YONI” is a conversation to create an awareness about what female energy is as represented in various Indian traditional texts and to dispute what is seen with the colored lenses of sexuality\, gender\, and other extrinsic factors that have been carefully imposed over many thousands of years.
