Coffee & Collections: Objects that Create Connections

Discover objects that have connected the aspirations of people in Anacostia with those of a community in Bangladesh. The participatory art of Monica Jahan Bose encourages personal reflection and action, giving physical form to a shared desire for healthy communities. The hand-printed textiles she co-creates with the public archive expressions of hope, dedication, and joy. Join us for a conversation with the artist about her Anacostia-based work for the Storytelling with Saris art project.
