***From the exhibition's webpage on the Museum's website:***
*"Here: Pride and Belonging in African Art* explores how LGBTQ+ artists from Africa and its diaspora are part of a larger, joyful story of African art history.
Artists’ voices are central to this exhibition, which features works by Zanele Muholi, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Leilah Babirye, Jim Chuchu, Ṣọlá Olúlòde, among many LGBTQ+ artists from across Africa and its diaspora.
*Here* is based on years of close collaboration and dialogue with these artists and their communities. Through their art, they invite us into their worlds and explore themes of identity and belonging. *Here* is the largest exhibition on this subject to date, with nearly 60 artworks.
While their experiences are unique to them, they speak to issues that unite everyone: the importance of family, spirit, standing up for oneself and others, imagining the future, making intimate connections, finding belonging, embracing potential and, above all, experiencing joy. They are united by a simple, shared declaration: We are here.

African LGBTQ Artists at the Smithsonian African Art Museum
Some of the most challenging places to be LGBTQ+ are in Africa -- but that doesn't stop gorgeous queer expression there. The National Museum of African Art offers a beautiful collection of 60 works by LGBTQ+ African artists. Join us, and find a new favorite queer artist from Africa!
MEET AT: Outside the main entrance to the National Museum of African Art. It is inside the gardens behind the big red stone Smithsonian Castle and looks like the picture above. Look for Molly with the rainbow LAL sign.
COST: FREE!
NEAREST METRO: Smithsonian
**Exhibition description:**
Artists’ voices are central to this exhibition, which is based on years of close collaboration and dialogue with African visual art practitioners who claim belonging in the LGBTQ+ community, however they define those terms. They are united by a simple, shared declaration: **We are here and always have been and will be.**
The exhibition is part of a larger research initiative, the Here Project, that seeks to document these voices. The artists in the Project practice across the entirety of the African continent and its global diaspora, using their work to speak their truths. Inviting us into their worlds, they share complex stories of openly claiming their identities, their histories, and their place. While their experiences are unique to them, they address issues that unite us all: the importance of family, of spirit, of standing up for oneself and others, of imagining the future, of making intimate connections, of finding belonging, of embracing potential, and above all, of experiencing joy.

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Doom and Dinosaurs
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Doom and Dinosaurs,”** a look at how mass extinctions shaped the dinosaurs and what research on these events tells us about Earth life’s long-term prospects, with Ian Wilenzik, paleontologist and visiting assistant professor of biology at George Washington University.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-dino-doom](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-dino-doom) .]
Pity the poor dinosaurs. They lacked both scientific research to help deal with potential environmental catastrophes and places where they could have a beer and discuss it.
You, on the other hand, have the opportunity to come to Profs and Pints to hear a fascinating talk on the impact of mass extinctions on dinosaur evolution and what research on dinosaurs tells us about biodiversity and Earth’s current biodiversity crisis.
Dr. Ian Wilenzik, who has studied and taught courses on dinosaur evolution, population spread, and extinction, will leave you with a greater appreciation of the resilience of life on earth and how we’re both the product and source of biologically catastrophic events.
Many of us are familiar with how a big meteor impact about 66 million years ago wiped out the Earth’s dinosaur population, leaving us only with their feathered descendants, birds. Less well known is how the Earth actually has undergone five periods of mass extinction that wiped out nearly all life, and how dinosaurs arose from one and endured another—both caused by volcanic activity—before meeting their match in the third.
To ground his discussion, Dr. Wilenzik will talk about how we study mass extinctions by looking for geologic evidence of volcanic activity, meteoric blasts, and other catastrophic activity and of gaps in the fossil record after them.
He’ll also discuss what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, describing their distinct anatomical features. He’ll talk about how they and other forms of life evolved over long periods of time and were affected by extinction events.
We’ll look at how the meteor-caused mass extinction that wiped out dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous paved the way for the rise of mammals and the emergence of primates, and, eventually, us. Looking ahead to future mass extinctions and what might survive them, we’ll talk about how that plant you forget to water might have the last laugh, as well as why crocodiles might be around a while. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

👉AI Vision Board — Turn Vision Into Reality Faster - Lunch Included (Ashburn)
**💻 Reimagine Your Second Half of Life – AI Vision Board Immersive Experience (Ashburn)**
✨ **Early Access Rate: $35 (5-Hour Immersive Experience — Lunch, Coffee & Snacks Included)**
🗓 Saturday\, April 25 \| 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
👥 Limited to 10 participants
**“This was such an awesome event! … Once you see that you can’t unsee it. It’s in the making and you will start to discover ways to make that dream materialize.” – Tracy J.** (Comment from January 2026 AI Vision Board session)
***
**☀️ Not Just a Vision Board — A Mirror**
Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s your comeback story.
This immersive is built around the **R.I.C.H. Quadrant™**:
• Relationships — who you let in
• Ideal Life — what you actually want
• Career/Finance — how you show up
• Health — the energy that fuels it all
If you’d like a deeper look at the framework, you can preview it here:
🔗 [https://midlifereinvention.co/blog/f/the-rich-quadrant%E2%84%A2-living-with-clarity-in-every-part-of-life](https://midlifereinvention.co/blog/f/the-rich-quadrant%E2%84%A2-living-with-clarity-in-every-part-of-life)
**In under 5 minutes, you’ll uncover your values.**
And when your vision board is aligned with that truth?
It stops being decorative — and starts becoming directional.
People often have multiple “aha” moments during this session.
Not because it’s dramatic — but because something quietly clicks.
***
**🕐 What the Day Feels Like**
This isn’t a lecture. It’s structured, but human. It’s focused, but energizing.
**Morning —** Identify your core values + 2 priority quadrants.
**Midday —** Lunch + intentional networking.
**Afternoon —** Complete the remaining 2 quadrants + short coffee reset.
***
**💻 Laptop Required — Please Ensure ChatGPT Is Logged In Before Arrival 💻**
This workshop moves quickly and works best on a laptop.
• **Laptop required** (phones will not work well for this experience. **iPads** may be used, but the experience is significantly smoother on a laptop.)
• **ChatGPT account created and fully logged in before arrival** (please bring your login credentials with you; free version is fine)
To protect everyone’s experience and keep the session on schedule, ***we cannot pause for account setup***. Please arrive fully prepared.
If you need help setting up ChatGPT in advance, message me after RSVP.
***
**🧠 What You’ll Walk Away With**
• Clarity on which area of life needs alignment
• A personalized AI-powered vision board
• Defined 3, 6, and 12-month direction
• Better prompts to use AI intentionally
• Real conversations with people who are building, not drifting
***
**🥗 What’s Included**
• Full 5-hour guided immersive
• Pizza + salad lunch
• Coffee + curated snacks
• All prompts and digital templates
• Small-group collaboration
***
**👥 Who This Is For**
• Divorced/Separated professionals rebuilding intentionally
• Entrepreneurs mapping their next chapter
• Adults in a season of reset
• People who prefer clarity over vague motivation
This is thoughtful work — done in community.
