MIGHTY MIGHTY: The Barbershop Project
May 22 – July 27
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (DC Public Library)
Brought to you by Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (DC Public Library)
Presented by CulturalDC and located outside the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, MIGHTY MIGHTY: The Barbershop Project by Devan Shimoyama reimagines the barbershop as a site of transformation, self-expression, and queer beauty. Inspired by Shimoyama’s experiences growing up as a Black queer youth, the exhibition transforms CulturalDC’s Mobile Art Gallery into a vibrant space for community care and conversation. Featuring immersive design and free haircuts, the installation invites visitors to reflect on identity, visibility, and healing.
