Katzen Museum Opening Reception at American University

These are always fun and well-attended with free parking underground or a shuttle away from Metro. It starts with a talk at 5 pm - Pilar Albarracín: Take a Knife and Open My Heart. Reserve here. Then at 6 pm they serve beer, wine and light refreshments and open the 3 floors of the museum.

Start your summer sizzling with six all-new exhibitions – many on display for the first time ever in Washington, DC! Politically relevant Lost Europe takes you on an intimate photographic journey through rural Ukraine just before the Russian invasion while Blue and Gray examines the poignancy of exile through art and poetry. As a retrospective, check out one of the world’s most acclaimed Chicano artists, Rupert Garcia, as we examine his work within our Corcoran Legacy Collection. Take a Knife and Open My Heart uses color, humor, and beauty in its performance videos and art installations that delve into the most internationalized stereotypes of Spanish culture while focusing on the struggle of women to escape from the violence of a patriarchal society*. At One with the Elements* explores the yin and yang of nature’s calming beauty and radiant energy; while A View from Within invites you to contemplate the magic of light and glass and color with its small yet powerful glass sculptures.
