How do you spend your Saturday? Most people go shopping, catch up on Reality T.V., hang out with friends, or all of the above. Now, that sounds like a fun Saturday, but in Culture Keepers we like to dedicate some weekends to looking at art, learning, exploring, and...hanging out with friends! The
Culture Keepers Saturday Field Trip was awesome! On Saturday November
15th, Culture Keepers students and coordinators from CVPA Suitland High
School and Northwestern VPA, who were able to attend, went on a arts
& cultural field day to museums and had a blast!
We visited the National Museum of African Art exhibit "Conversations: African and African American Artwork in Dialogue". It was so exciting to see traditional and contemporary African and African American artworks together exploring themes in family & community, resistance & social justice, and spirituality.
We also visited the Hirshhorn Museum’s multimedia exhibit, "Days of Endless Time" and historical and cultural exhibitions at the National Museum of the American Indian.
