SUMMARY:Who Made the Cornbread? : A Cyanotype Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Create cyanotype prints from family recipes in this free workshop blending food\, art & memory. Cornbread snack included!\n\n\nWorking with individual narratives and collective memory\, this session will invite participants to explore family histories through culinary traditions and alternative photography. During this cyanotype workshop\, led by visual artists Qiaira Riley and Yannick Lowery\, participants will utilize personal and archival cornbread recipes as inspiration for blue prints. A cornbread inspired snack will also be served as a part of the workshop * \n \nThis workshop is part of a broader community series offered through the collaboration between Ourchive and visual artist Levester Williams and supported by Monument Lab. It aims to deeply engage the Germantown neighborhood around the powerful and resonant story of the late Hercules Posey\, George Washington’s enslaved cook who courageously escaped. Germantown\, known both for its painful legacy of slavery and its landmark role in America’s first recorded anti-slavery protest\, offers a potent space for exploring themes of historical preservation\, social justice\, and creative resistance. \n \nAt the heart of these events is the belief that individual narratives are powerful tools in safeguarding historical truth\, especially during a time when censorship and revisionist pressures threaten collective memory. Participants will not only create personal artifacts\, but also contribute to a collective effort to creatively preserve and honor untold stories that shape our communities. \n \nFree and open to all. Light refreshments provided. \nSpots are limited—please register in advance to reserve your place. \n \n*By attending this event\, I consent to OHCC/6S\, Monument Lab\, and Ourchive photographing or filming me and my guests\, and I authorize them to use these images for any lawful purpose\, including publicity and digital or print media\, with or without my name.

SUMMARY:LEGACY: A Community Mural Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Explore legacy through mural-making\, storytelling & bold color in Germantown with artist Diego Mendoza-Ramos. Art as memory\, power & protest\n\n\nRooted in Germantown’s layered history\, this workshop will explore personal and neighborhood legacies through collaborative mural-making by blending storytelling\, typography\, and public art in celebration of legacy as collective power.  Led by muralist Diego Mendoza-Ramos\, the session will center around the word LEGACY\, stenciled across a gridded mural inspired by quilts\, protest posters\, and early print blocks. \nParticipants will paint freely within and around this grid—mirroring the physical and symbolic fabric of Germantown—using bold color and shared memory. The final reveal will uncover clean type at the mural’s center\, paying homage to the neighborhood’s role in early American printing and visual activism. * \n \nThis workshop is part of a broader community series offered through the collaboration between Ourchive and visual artist Levester Williams and supported by Monument Lab.
