The Fashioning Culture class headed to DC today to make a pilgrimage to a number of exhibits. We celebrated the glorious weather, looked left and right before crossing the large boulevards to see the grand vistas - the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument, and enjoy the natural wonders of the Enid Haput Garden. The Hirshorn's Strange Bodies show of figurative modern and contemporary works was one of our stops, as was the Mami Wata Exhibit at the museum of African Art, filled with sculptural, ceremonial and contemporary works inspired by the image and beliefs surrounding the water goddess in cultures of the African diaspora. Then, a trek to the Museum of American Art to visit the Jean Shin show: Common Threads! And with all that walking, good thing we stopped for some food and conversation at Teaism, appreciating the benefits of a thoughtfully designed bistro with koi pond and adobe colored walls. What a super day!
