Independence permeates every step of the immigrant journey. It may have motivated the move or could be a result of it, but regardless, self-discovery is inextricably tied to the experience.

In this storytelling night, just days after Nigeria’s Independence Day, six performers will share their stories about how they “found themselves” once again after moving to the U.S., whether that was through a new hobby, community, or accomplishment.

This event is in collaboration with our partners at the Nigerian Center. It takes place at the Anacostia Arts Center.

Doors open at 6:30 pm. Show starts at 7 pm. Excited to see you there!

‘the feels’ is the best dating event you’ve not yet tried. Formulated in partnership with Columbia University, the format fuses mindfulness + your body’s somatic intelligence. Research done in partnership with Columbia shows they’re 2x more effective than a typical singles event.

Ticket price includes a 90-minute facilitated experience, unlimited wine, zero-proof cocktails, light bites + access to a digital community of 100’s who are also mindfully exploring dating.

This event is for folks who are single, monogamous, and aligned with the fact that the event skews hetero.

“Area’s largest outdoor arts event.”

The Bethesda Row Arts Festival is one of the leading fine arts and craft festivals in the mid-Atlantic, featuring juried museum-quality artists. Over the weekend, the streets of Bethesda Row are transformed into an outdoor gallery, showcasing fourteen media categories that are juried: ceramics, drawing/pastels, fiber/decorative, fiber/wearables, glass, graphics/printmaking, jewelry, metalwork, mixed media 2D, mixed media 3D, oil/acrylic painting, photography/digital art, sculpture, watercolor, and wood.

Now in its tenth year, the Immigration Film Festival (IFF) began as an initiative of the Washington Ethical Society, a nonprofit, humanistic religious congregation. This year IFF was taken over by, KAMA DC, which is a grassroots organization in Washington, DC that provides a platform for immigrants in the DMV area to share their skills and stories.

Our goal is to tell the story of global immigration through the art form of film and to humanize the plight of immigrants and refugees by sharing their stories. In doing this, we seek not only to entertain but also to inform our audiences and, in partnership with organizations, provide the means by which our audiences can take action to correct the injustices that can force people to leave their homes and the dislocations that can result from migration.
