About DC & Me
Developed by Folger Artist-in-Residence Katherine Harroff, DC & Me is the first part of the three-part DC Amplified project which seeks to gather and uplift community stories within Washington, DC. In this phase, stories have been gathered through workshops and individual interviews with members of the Anacostia, Mt. Pleasant, and Penn Quarter communities.
These stories will be shared out through interactive sculptural installations across DC featuring visual artistic interpretations of these neighborhoods as well as QR code-accessible short films and an interactive hotline wherein people can listen to community reflections and record their own.
