Atlas Performing Arts Center
Every year, the Atlas Performing Arts Center presents a multi-week series showcasing art and artists that aims to make “a difference in our society, culture, and world.” For 2021, the arts hub in the H Street Corridor has put together a pandemic-appropriate all-virtual affair that comes later and runs longer than the usual Atlas Intersections Festival in February.
Over the next eight weeks until the second week in May, Atlas Arts On Air will highlight local performing artists touted as “addressing the issues of our times like discrimination, sexism, and loneliness.” Each program includes a separate radio interview with the artist led by SiriusXM Radio’s Laura Coates.
Tattooed RBG mural in DC criticized Print this article
Some residents in Washington, D.C., want to get rid of a mural of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The mural, created by California artist Jules Muck at the request of Miami-based Murals for Humanity, depicted the late Supreme Court justice with several tattoos on her face, including George Floyd s face, a Vote sticker, and the letters BLM in reference to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Muck, who noted she was asked to paint the mural in an email to the
Washington Examiner, said despite the fact that a lot of people liked the mural, she offered to assist in removing or changing the piece due to some feedback on Instagram @muckrock.
