  • For today's Black History Month post, we're shining the spotlight on @NekishaDurrett.

    A DC-based mixed media artist, Durrett has an upcoming installation just across the Potomac, and about that work she said:

    "“The word ‘break’ is central to the artwork and conjures multiple layers of meaning. In jazz, the ‘break’ is a moment of improvisation, a rupture in the music where new possibilities emerge. It is in this spirit that Break Water seeks to reclaim and reinterpret the break as both a physical and metaphorical space of resistance, memory and transformation.”

  • "Rooting conversations about our sector in facts and objective data has never been more important amid increasing scrutiny and polarization."
