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? Ages 13+ Content Warnings: mild swearing\, mild sexual content\, mild violence\, mild use of weapons \nEvent Details\nHost: Atlas Performing Arts Center\nDate: September 12 – 20\, 2024\nLocation: 1333 H St NE\, Washington\, DC 20002\nEvent fee: $40\nRegistration Event link: https://www.atlasarts.org/events/man-ray/ \nFor More Information\nContact: Rachel L.

Join Amanda Huron\, an Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences and Political Science at the UDC\, and a panel of three people who organized tenants in 1970s DC to share their experiences\, and reflect on what organizers today can learn from the successes and failures of the 1970s. \nAs DC\, once again\, is in the midst of a housing crisis\, many tenants are again responding by organizing in creative ways.

SUMMARY:Oral History Interviewing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Event Details: \n  \nThis core workshop in the DC Oral History Collaborative workshop series will provide participants strategies to make the interview experience rewarding for the interviewer and the narrator.

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.

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.
