2025 年 5 月 在華盛頓的熱門活動（5 月更新）

“永恆的穆夏”展覽概述了捷克畫家和裝飾藝術家阿爾豐斯·穆夏 （1860-1939） 的作品，探索他對平面設計的革命性貢獻以及他標誌性風格的持久影響力。展覽展出了穆夏信託收藏的 100 多件作品，追溯了穆夏的藝術演變過程——從早期的訓練到他成為新藝術運動領軍人物的歷程——突顯了他複雜的線條、流暢的形式和高度風格化的設計，這些設計改變了世界各地的海報藝術、商業插圖和視覺美學。20 世紀 60 年代，穆夏獨特的風格在反主流文化運動充滿活力的海報藝術中得以復興，成為迷幻搖滾海報、專輯封面、漫畫書和日本漫畫的標誌。

欣賞美國藝術家查卡亞·布克（Chakaia Booker）創作的三件令人歎為觀止的雕塑作品，她利用輪胎進行改造，探討環境問題。 四十多年來，查卡亞·布克（Chakaia Booker）一直致力於切割、卷繞和扭曲輪胎，將這些工業廢料雕刻成引人入勝的抽象造型。布克將廢棄輪胎既作為對文化歷史和體驗的詮釋，也作為一種可持續的實踐。回收輪胎可以避免它們被丟棄到垃圾填埋場，避免在那裡積聚並排放甲烷氣體。她的作品鼓勵我們思考輪胎這種材料的歷史以及橡膠對我們未來的影響。 展覽展出了三件巨大的牆面浮雕——《酸雨》（2001年）、《黑色回聲（工業瘢痕）》（1996年）和《綠色環保如此艱難》（2000年）。每件雕塑寬約20至21英尺（約6至7.6米），由大量捲曲的輪胎橡膠條構成，其中一些橡膠條上點綴著尖刺碎片、捲曲的條帶以及內胎製成的環圈。布克的六部照相凹版系列作品《棄嬰戰士探索（II 21C）》（2010）展現了藝術家本人在嚴酷的工業環境中覓食的神話人物形象。

In the midst of their grief for the death of their son, Willie, the Lincolns sought refuge at the Cottage. President Lincoln's Cottage opened the award-winning exhibit, "Reflections on Grief and Child Loss" in 2020 as a way to express the universality of grief across time, connecting the Lincolns to modern families. Join us for a free screening of "Before a Breath," a documentary film that explores stillbirth, maternal health, and meaning-making after loss. This is an independently organized event inspired by reporting from ProPublica, an award-winning nonprofit newsroom. Following the screening, join us for a conversation featuring: Kanika Harris is a birth justice advocate and doula. She holds a doctorate in health behavior and health education and is the executive director of the National Association to Advance Black Birth. Callie Hawkins is the CEO and Executive Director of President Lincoln's Cottage. She curated the exhibit, "Reflections on Grief and Child Loss" which won the National Council on Public History's Outstanding Public History Project Award in 2023.

Nadia Sussman is a filmmaker and journalist at ProPublica. She is the director of "Before a Breath."

Smith Visitor Education Center) Screening Check-In Screening Post-Screening Conversation Restrooms Check-In begins at 5:30pm THE FILM Intimate, infuriating and ultimately hopeful, “Before a Breath” braids together the stories of three mothers determined to make pregnancy safer after losing children to stillbirth. After the loss of her daughter Autumn, Debbie Haine Vijayvergiya discovers that more than 20,000 stillbirths occur every year in the U.S. — and at least 1 in 4 is likely preventable. She goes to Washington, battling political inertia as she fights to make stillbirth research and prevention a federal priority. Kanika Harris, a maternal health advocate and doula, tells the story of her twins, Kodjo and Zindzi, as she trains a new generation of Black birth workers. And Stephanie Lee, a nurse leader at a Manhattan hospital, seeks answers about what might have led to her daughter Elodie’s stillbirth as she takes a leap of faith and becomes pregnant again.

Searching for a partner can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and finding a partner? Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics you love and discover brand new games you've never heard of, playing each with a different group of fun singles. All while in a great establishment with plenty of delicious options on tap. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you'd like to date and a list of those you met that you'd like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other's e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out. Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends. Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great. Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol. Before you decide to buy tickets, a few basics we should cover: 1) This event is for men & women, ages 25-39. We also have events for gay men and queer women. And we're hoping to add events to serve even more people in the future! Head over to https://www.quirkevents.com/dc to see what else we have to offer. (If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, you'll be able to join our mailing list and get notified about future events. Plus, joining our mailing list gets you 50% off your first ticket purchase!) 2) To stay up-to-date on everything we have going on at Quirk Events, follow us on Instagram here! 3) Refunds are only available to those who cancel with more than 48 hours' notice, in order to make sure we have enough time to find a replacement for you and keep the event well-populated. (Exceptions will be made for emergency situations on a case-by-case basis). After that, we're blowing the money from your ticket sale on something awesome and nonrefundable. 4) If we get to 24 hours before the event and still haven't sold five tickets for each gender, we will cancel the event (and notify you). When we have run this event in the past, tickets have consistently sold very well, so we don't expect this to happen. But we thought we should cover this in case it came up. 5) How many games we have and which ones we use will be based in part on how many people attend, so we can't tell you for sure what we'll have right now. But the goal is for all of them to be fun, light, easy-to-learn games. Selection will include games from both the something-you-have-played-before category and the something-you-haven't-played-before category. The games are also chosen because they often tend to spark conversation and leave room for chatting with new people as you play. All games will be group games, meaning you'll get a chance to meet a handful of people with each new round. Information Source: Quirk Events | eventbrite
