The Prescription Is Home, an exhibition that centers home as the first site of consciousness, care, creativity, and community. This photography and socially engaged art installation captures photos from families east of the Anacostia River or with roots there for more than 15 years.
Bring the family for some quality time at the house opening reception and housewarming. Come through for a game of spades or dominoes. Catch up with friends old and new. Learn more about how homes have been a central part of community organizing and progress for communities and families east of the river. Welcome to SE where homes function as collective spaces for gathering, safety, progress, and change.
