Photo by Nancy Shia.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

For forty years, the respected community photographer and local activist Nancy Shia has lived in an apartment on the corner of Ontario Street and Columbia Road NW in Washington, D.C. During that time she has taken countless photographs of the Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan, and Mount Pleasant neighborhoods.

You are invited to a workshop to learn about the collection from the photographer and share ideas about how to include the photos in classes on D.C. history, U.S. history, civics, and more.

The workshop will be on Saturday, October 24 from 2:00pm – 3:15pm EST. The session will include: interview of photographer Nancy Shia by University of Maryland professor Nancy Raquel Mirabal; small group activities with the photos; and time to ask the photographer questions about specific images. There is no fee.
