Call & Response: Community and Creativity  is an Anacostia Community Museum arts initiative that explores themes of creativity, identity, and community. Citified, an online exhibition and component of the larger Call & Response project, seeks to give the audience a glimpse inside the daily creativity of the Anacostia community—through the lens of visual art and crafts—while introducing individuals to the creativity found within Ward 7 and Ward 8.
