SUMMARY:Well Read Black Girl Festival: The Living Archive
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 27\, 2026\, the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) and Well-Read Black Girl (WRBG) present The Living Archive: Art\, Memory\, and Civic Imagination\, a day-long festival that centers women’s creative practices as vital tools for shaping cultural memory and envisioning more just futures. \nThe 2026 Well-Read Black Girl Festival brings together writers\, artists\, and cultural leaders who approach the archive not as a static record\, but as a living practice shaped through storytelling\, art-making\, and civic participation. Speakers explore how Black women document their inner lives\, preserve collective memory\, and engage history as an act of authorship and stewardship. These conversations illuminate the power of women to challenge dominant narratives\, foster community\, and inspire social change. \nThe event opens with keynote speaker Ericka Hart\, activist\, writer\, and author of the forthcoming book Nasty Work\, in conversation with Glory Edim\, founder of Well-Read Black Girl. Panelists include authors Sasha Bonét (The Waterbearers: A Memoir of Mothers and Daughters)\, Bsrat Mezghebe (I Hope You Find What You’re Looking For)\, and Juanita Tolliver (A More Perfect Party: The Night Shirley Chisholm and Diahann Carroll Reshaped Politics); poets Elizabeth Acevedo and Alexa Patrick; and archivists and cultural leaders Elizabeth Ajunwa (Director of NMWA’s Betty Boyd Dettre Library and Research Center)\, Amarie Gipson (Founder of The Reading Room\, HTX)\, Tsedaye Makonnen (interdisciplinary artist and curator\, Black Women as/and the Living Archive)\, and Asmaa Walton (Founder\, Black Art Library). The day features book signings\, opportunities to explore the galleries\, and a sound bath led by ritual artist Tara Aura. \nThis program is presented in collaboration with the museum’s Betty Boyd Dettre Library and Research Center (LRC). With more than 25\,000 books and print resources\, as well as a diverse collection of rare and unique items\, including artists’ books and zines\, the LRC facilitates scholarship on historical and contemporary women artists. NMWA’s partnership with Well-Read Black Girl—an organization dedicated to amplifying the voices of Black women writers and cultivating literary spaces rooted in community\, care\, and intellectual exchange—aligns with the museum’s ongoing commitment to elevating women’s voices across disciplines. \nWhen:\nFriday\, March 27\, 2026\n9 a.m. to 5 p.m. \nWhere:\nNational Museum of Women in the Arts\n1250 New York Avenue\, NW\nWashington\, DC 20005 \nTickets and Reservations:\nGeneral admission: $40\nMembers: $30\nStudents: $25 \nSchedule:\nhttps://nmwa.org/whats-on/calendar/well-read-black-girl-festival/
