Art making a difference.


Today I went to a fundraising event called "Art for Amnesty" at the Human Rights Center. The main reason I went was to see [velvet] perform an acoustic set. They did a kick ass job. However, I finally got a chance to see Anu Yadav perform. She performed monologues from her one woman play called Caper's. It puts a spotlight on the gentrification issues facing DC's public housing. She only did 2 five minute pieces, but they were impressive ! I need to go see her entire play next time she performs.

Washington Post has a article and video (click on "A Neighborhood Drama"). Check her out.

that dcist rant about gentrification is scary. the dc metro area is blowing up and turning into a little NY City, complete with ridiculous gentrification. people are are making less, but taking on much more debt--I wish I was still a little kid. I am short enough to still be one.

I don't know about this "ridiculous gentrification" that you speak of. I rode my bike through Columbia Heights and Shaw the other night, and lets just say I peadalled a shitload faster than I did in Dupont or Georgetown. And by the way, the streets raised me, so dont go callin me a punk ass biatch.

Yeah, it's still in the early steps. In a couple of years all you will see in that area are Mo's and Popped Collars.
