In Ward 8, a new mural installation celebrates the 100th anniversary of some women gaining the right to vote after #womensuffragists organized for decades.
“The Office of D.C. @mayor_bowser decided to place the murals in Ward 8 on Martin Luther King [Ave.] and for women muralists to work collaboratively, demonstrating the synergy of the women’s suffragist movement,” says Lauren Dugas Glover of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. (The Commission and Department of Public Works funded the project.)
The installation is made of three murals, standing side-by-side, created by three women of color. The artists all used purple and gold hues, as those were some of the colors associated with the suffragist movement. Purple stood for loyalty, and gold represented life, light and a torch that guided the movement and its purpose, according to the #NationalParkService. It’s one of several art pieces commemorating the centennial of the 19th Amendment going up across the country, including a mosaic of #IdaBWells at #UnionStationDC.
While women have gained the right to vote, communities of color continue to experience voter suppression such as long lines and wait times at polling sites, according to the Washington Post.
In the mural’s new home in #Ward8, voters experienced similar challenges during the June primary, as some voters waited in line until midnight to cast their ballot. Two Ward 8 residents sued the elections board for voter suppression, alleging that they didn’t receive their voter guide in the mail and polling sites were limited in less populous and gentrified neighborhoods.

“Sun Bursts Through the Clouds, My Photo ID” Fineliner Pen on Paper. 30 in diameter. 2019.
————————
In the words of Mos Def/Yasiin Bey, (who the title of this piece also comes from), “My Umi says shine your light on the world. Shine your light for the world to see.” First finished piece of 2019 down. I started on it at the end of last year but because of holiday travel I was finally able to finish it now.
Thank you Gia (@giametricart) for letting me use your wonderful hair for this piece. The first time I met her, I asked if I could take a pic of her dreads. She was hesitant, but agreed.
Swipe to see some detail shots.

“I Count My Blessings With an Abacus” Fineliner Pen and Copic Markers on Paper. 30 in diameter.
I recently started using #copicmarkers as an underpainting for a few layers and they are a life and timesaver. This is probably this fastest I’ve done a drawing of this size.

Repost from @someguy using @RepostRegramApp - A morning like this is why I love photography, got to the Lincoln Memorial at 6am and was treated to an absolutely empty experience. Crazy to see since the shutdown also means there are no national park rangers.

Repost from @collabcreatedc using @RepostRegramApp - Do you have your Restaurant Week reservations? The @ramwdc 2019 event runs January 14 - 20 this year and features 250 DMV restaurants.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love a restaurant week because it’s a great way to visit favorite DC spots for a steal, and to check out new places on your “must-eat” list. (you have one of those, right?)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Try a 3-course lunch for $22 or a 3-course dinner for $35. Brunch lovers rejoice: for the first time, there’s even a brunch options for $22.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Visit the RAMW website to browse all the featured restaurants and make a reservation today (link in bio at @ramwdc). While you’re there you can also enter to win prizes like tickets to local food-related events, restaurant gift cards, and cookbooks from local chefs/restaurants.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell us in the comments where you’d like to go, and tag your favorite DC area restaurant. Bon Appétit!

Modesty. Humility. Love.
I am the creature whose existence is elusive.
The animal whose presence intimidates.
The bird that flies with instinct.
The feeling you can never put into words.
I just happen to know myself.

@artopiadc - Midweek #inspiration from our next #MakersMixer featured artist: Puyà Yohannes. Being a mother and having realized the misrepresentation of girls/boys of color in children’s books, Puya uses this and her Ethiopian culture as inspiration for her entire genre of illustrations, artfully printed on tote bags, t-shirts, postcards and more in her Ye'Bole Lig collection (@bole_lig). You can meet her on 4.19, link for event registration in bio. .
