From MPD:

“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting inside of a building in the 3100 block of 16th street NW. Two adult males have been transported to area hospitals with critical gunshot wounds. A third individual has been transported to the hospital from the 3100 block of Mt Pleasant St NW with what appears to be critical wounds. We believe that these scenes are related at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”

From a press release:

“In REFRACTIONS Robin looks back at the 20 years of his history of documenting the world as a filmmaker and taking actions as a social activist. Collaged images and videos of both the archival and newly produced for the show are displayed on televisions and projected on sculptures throughout the space. With mirrors, cameras and other technologies seamlessly weaved into the art pieces, Robin allows the audience to see themselves in the installations and invites them to reflect on their own space in society at an intimate environment of the Lost Origins Gallery.  (more…)
