SUMMARY:World Pride: LGBTQ+ Walking Tour in Dupont Circle (June 6th)
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Pride on a walking tour of queer historic places in the Dupont Circle neighborhood with representatives from the Rainbow History Project\, the DC Preservation League\, and the DC Office of Planning\, Historic Preservation Office. \nThis history is local\, but by nature of being in the nation’s capital\, ties into larger narratives\, debates\, and attacks on the queer community. Join us to learn more about the resilience\, tenacity\, diversity\, and joy of the queer community in Washington\, DC. The tour will be about one mile on flat ground. It will start in Dupont Circle (up Connecticut Avenue\, along S Street\, down 17th Street) and end at 17th and P Streets. This tour is open to all people with a ticket cost of $10.00\, paid online. Registration required to participate. \n \n  \nThis tour is led by Delaney Resweber\, who is the Director of Social Geography and serves on the board with the Rainbow History Project. Since 2000\, the Rainbow History Project has operated as an all-volunteer run nonprofit focused on promoting\, preserving\, and collecting LGBT+ history in Washington DC. Outside of the Rainbow History Project\, Delaney is a geospatial analyst and has a degree in Historic Preservation. \n  \nSign up for the tour happening on Friday\, June 6th from 4:00 PM to 5:15 PM by clicking HERE.  \n

SUMMARY:In the Garden: Part of a poetry garden series
DESCRIPTION:For over 178 years\, the Tudor Place garden has evolved from agricultural uses to recreational and ornamental purposes\, reflecting the growth and changes both in Georgetown and the rest of the nation. Each generation of the house’s owners preserved original design elements as well as many of the earliest plantings\, while adapting the landscape to their own needs. On June 7th from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM\, visit Tudor Place Historic House & Garden for a special poetry garden event. In the Garden features special guest fiction writer and florist Matthew B. Kelley in conversation with a poetry garden series founder Maria Fernanda Chamorro to discuss their creative and historic connections to the gardens in our communities. This event will take place in the historic Dower House’s front and middle parlors. \nGuests are encouraged to arrive at 1:30pm for a garden tour or a map for a self-guided experience. This conversation launches the second season of Chamorro’s ongoing interview series a poetry garden\, a series honoring Black people who engage with the literary arts and horticulture across D.C.’s eight wards. \n \n  \nMatthew B. Kelley is a writer from Atlanta\, GA. He holds degrees from Morehouse College and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, where he was a Truman Capote Fellow in fiction. He has received fellowships from Callaloo Creative Writing Workshop and Kimbilio [Fiction]. He is an assistant professor of English at Emory & Henry University in Emory\, VA. \n \n  \nMaría Fernanda Chamorro (she/hers) is a poet. From Northeast DC\, her work explores the intimacy of sisterhood\, the anchor of intergenerational coexistence\, and grief. Awarded the Norma Elia Cantú Award in Creative Writing\, the Andrea Klein Willison Poetry Prize\, and a Hurston/Wright Amistad Award Finalist\, she has appeared at The National Museum of African American History and Culture and more. She is a Callaloo fellow. \nTudor Place Historic House & Garden preserves the stories of six generations of descendants of Martha Washington and the enslaved and free people who lived and worked at this Georgetown landmark for nearly two centuries. By examining their legacy\, we challenge ourselves and our visitors to celebrate the triumphs and confront the complexities of the past. \nClick here to sign up!
