Connecting to Afro-Atlantic Histories: Pictures of Practice from Local DC Educators

This spring 2022 virtual teacher workshop, the third of a series of three, will offer an overview of our upcoming special exhibition Afro-Atlantic Histories, which explores the vast range of historical experiences and artistic expressions of Black and African people since the 17th century.

In this workshop, local educators from Washington, DC, will share their experiences applying works of art from the exhibition in their teaching contexts. Participants will then use a thinking routine from Harvard’s Project Zero to foster a deeper exploration of one work in the exhibition and will discuss ways to apply the documentation that the local teachers present. Registrants will receive access to digital teaching resources related to the exhibition. While all educators are welcome, this workshop will be especially relevant to those who teach K–12 and social studies curricula.

Time: Apr 7, 2022 04:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
