Convergence: Artist Talk

Anacostia Arts Center and Homme Gallery present Convergence, a mid-summer exhibition that takes stock of the first half of a decade none of us anticipated. For Maeva Komenan, Nate G, Yaa, and Luis Del Valle, the past five years have brought the full weight of post-pandemic life: one artist navigated an ICE arrest, another crossed the stage for a master's degree. These experiences live inside the work, and Convergence is where they surface. Convergence asks what it means to keep making art when life keeps interrupting it, and what that art looks like on the other side. Each of these four artists answers differently, but with the same clarity and resilience that defines this moment.

Join us for an artist talk that explores the complexity of Maeva Komenan, Nate G, Yaa, and Luis Del Valle's experiences! Everything starts at 6:30 PM and runs to 8:30 PM.

The exhibition is part of the Anacostia Arts Center's ongoing commitment to connected cultural experiences even as it undergoes renovation, activating spaces across the community, rooted in creativity, wellness, and collective care. Join us to meet the artists and experience work that has been hard-won. Homme Gallery is located at 2000 L St NW; gallery hours outside of scheduled events are by appointment only.
