“Last Bite of Chocolate City?” a photo exhibit curated by Southeast, D.C.’s native “Dee Dwyer.”

The exhibit will consist of photography by Dee Dwyer and Beverly Price who are both D.C. Natives.  The photos are a documentation of black humanity in the “Chocolate City” with most of its focus being in “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.
