Anacostia Community Museum
To Live and Breathe: Women and Environmental Justice in Washington, D.C.
May 19, 2023 – January 7, 2024
Women have led the environmental justice movement. Women are often the ones who notice patterns of disease in their communities, fight to protect their families and neighbors, and bear the burden of health disparities. In this exhibition from the Smithsonian's Anacostia Community Museum, explore how local women of color draw on a long history of activism and advance environmental justice efforts not only in D.C., but across the country and beyond.
This digital artwork by Amir Khadar has been commissioned as a mural by the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum for the upcoming exhibit To Live and Breathe: Women and Environmental Justice in Washington, D.C. opening May 19, 2023.
