RSVP for “Crooked Beauty” to Andres Marques-Lara at 202-299-5369“Crooked Beauty” is a poetic documentary that chronicles artist-activist Jacks McNamara’s transformative journey from childhood abuse to psych ward patient to pioneering mental health advocate. This progression is seen through her words and through her art.

Directions:

Saint Elizabeths Hospital is located at 1100 Alabama Avenue SE, accessible by Metro (Green Line) and car. All visitors must bring a picture ID to show to security.

Metro: Highly recommended way to reach the Hospital. Saint Elizabeths is atop the Congress Heights Metro Station (Green Line). When exiting the Congress Heights Station, take the escalators to your left. When you come up to ground level, you will see the red brick buildings of St. E’s in front of you – the pedestrian gate is directly across the lot. Your destination is the new hospital building. After entering the gate and being cleared by Security, turn right (downhill) onto Dogwood Drive. You will see the new hospital building in front of you.

Car: Enter via the main gate (Gate #5) at 1100 Alabama Avenue SE. After showing your ID to Security, turn right onto Dogwood drive. When you pass the next Security station you will see the new hospital building beyond it. There is a parking lot to your left as soon as you pass the blue copper Security station, and there should be spaces available in the evening.
