Freedom and Resistance: An Exhibition Inspired by The 1619 Project

The exhibition features three sections exploring connections between the experiences of Black Americans and the ideals of American freedom. Created in collaboration with the editors of The New York Times Magazine, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, and D.C. educators. Section 1 features The 1619 Project: A Visual Experience with original artworks from 10 Black artists highlighting themes of resistance and freedom. Section 2, guest curated by Dominique Hazzard, traces connections between the first enslaved Africans brought to Point Comfort in 1619 and the lives of Washingtonians today. The exhibition includes contributions from over 150 student artists.
