🏆 July 12 | “Last Bite of Chocolate City?” Opening Reception - Free event!

“Last Bite of Chocolate City?” is a photo exhibition created by Southeast, D.C.’s native “Dee Dwyer.” This exhibit will consist of photography by Dee Dwyer. The photos are a documentation of black humanity in the “Chocolate City” with most of its focus being on “Southeast D.C.” The city used to have a high population of blacks but due to gentrification there has been a huge decline. Southeast, is the “Last Bite of Chocolate City” that hasn’t been affected heavily by gentrification like the other quadrants, however it is slowly happening. The raw images in this exhibit are thought provoking and will delight the eyes and soul with their beauty.
