Artificial lights have become such a common nighttime fixture that we take them for granted. But what do brighter nights mean for people and wildlife? The effects of light pollution extend beyond our reduced view of the stars, but solutions can have an immediate impact. Through more than 100 photographs, nearly 250 objects, interactive experiences, tactile models, and a theater program, discover why the dark night matters, rekindle your connection to the night sky, and consider how much light at night is enough—for whom, for what purpose, and who gets to decide?

Celebrate the 100th Birthday of Barro Colorado Island Research Station by immersing yourself in a Panamanian jungle! From monkeys to microbes, research on the “most studied piece of tropical real estate in the world” gave rise to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, which now hosts 1200 scientists from 50 countries at 12 tropical research facilities, trains young biologists, and contributes new knowledge vital to the future of tropical forests and reefs.

See three awe-inspiring sculptures by an American artist who transforms tires to explore environmental concerns. For over four decades, Chakaia Booker has cut, coiled, and contorted tires, sculpting the industrial waste into spectacular abstract forms. Booker uses discarded tires both as a commentary on cultural histories and experiences and as a sustainable practice. Salvaging the tires avoids their disposal into landfills, where they trap and emit methane gas. Her works encourage us to consider the history of the material of tires as well as the effect rubber can have on our future. Three monumental wall relief sculptures—Acid Rain (2001), Echoes in Black (Industrial Cicatrization) (1996), and It’s So Hard to Be Green (2000)—are presented. Each sculpture spans 20 to 21 feet wide and features a mass of curled bands of tire rubber, some interspersed with spiky shards, coiled strips, and loops made from inner tubes. Booker’s six-part photogravure series Foundling Warrior Quest (II 21C) (2010) showcases the artist as a mythical being foraging in a harsh, industrial landscape.

Experience the wonders of nature through the eyes of an artist. Look closely at works of art that depict insects and other animals, as well as real specimens. Art played a key role at the dawn of natural history in 16th and 17th century Europe. Advances in science and technology, trade, and colonial expansion enabled naturalists to study previously unknown and overlooked insects, animals, and other beestjes, or "little beasts." Artists such as Joris Hoefnagel and Jan van Kessel helped deepen and spread knowledge of these creatures through highly detailed and playful works that inspired generations of printmakers, painters, decorative artists, and naturalists. A delight for all ages, this exhibition uniquely showcases nearly 75 of these paintings, prints, and drawings, as well as specimens and taxidermy from the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Learn about the rich exchanges between artists and naturalists that have fueled our fascination with creatures big and small on Earth. Watch a new film by artist Dario Robleto to see how the intersection of art and science continues to inspire us.

A diverse selection of watercolors dating from 1800 to 1991 will reflect the medium’s journey from practical use to recognized fine art in America. Spanning two centuries and diverse artistic styles, this installation will be organized into four groupings: sights associated with the Washington, DC, area; the rivers, waterfalls, and ocean views of New England; Western views of Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the California coast; and studies of plants and the natural world.

The first exhibition to consider photography’s impact on a cultural and aesthetic movement that celebrated Black history, identity, and beauty. As Black Americans continued their struggle for political liberation and self-determination in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, a group of artists, poets, musicians, playwrights, and filmmakers united around a new approach—art. Using creative mediums to express messages of Black empowerment and advance social justice, their efforts became known as the Black Arts Movement, often considered the cultural arm of the Black Power Movement. Photography was central to the movement, attracting all kinds of artists—from street photographers and photojournalists to painters and graphic designers. This expansive exhibition presents 150 examples by over 100 artists. Explore the radical vision shaped by generations of artists including Billy Abernathy, Romare Bearden, Kwame Brathwaite, Roy DeCarava, Doris Derby, Emory Douglas, Barkley Hendricks, Barbara McCullough, Betye Saar, and Ming Smith. See how they both shaped and documented the Black Arts Movement.

Nearly 50 drawings will examine women’s roles in the Index of American Design, a government-sponsored art project during the Depression era that sought to comprehensively document American designs in applied, decorative, and folk art. Among the subjects shown will be finely rendered embroideries, dynamic quilt designs, toys, weather vanes, and household objects.

In honor of the 100th anniversary of Mary Cassatt’s death in 1926, this installation of some 40 paintings, prints, and drawings will celebrate this renowned American impressionist and her pioneering work.

Social climbing was a competitive sport in Tudor England, requiring a complex range of skills, strategies, and techniques. How to Be a Power Player: Tudor Edition invites you into a world of lace ruffs, jousting, hawks, bad handwriting, scandal, and political factions. Experience the playbooks, the people, and the spectacular fails, as courtiers tried to navigate the minefield of working for a boss who could shower you with riches or chop off your head. The exhibition features more than 60 objects from the Folger’s collection to demonstrate the “rules” for how to be a successful courtier. They show how historical and literary figures ranging from royal advisors to household staff used cunning, cutthroat, and creative means to acquire power and curry favor with the Tudor monarchs.

Panel Discussion organized by the German Historical Institute Washington, DC; Cosponsored by the American Historical Association, and the American-German Institute Washington, DC. "Civil society, acting through independent initiatives, provides the best guarantee that we will not return to the past." This statement by Václav Havel, the last president of communist Czechoslovakia and the first democratically elected president of the Czech Republic, highlights the crucial role of civic engagement in safeguarding modern democracies. Historians have long examined the factors contributing to the survival or demise of democracies, whether through gradual erosion or abrupt upheaval. Our panel discussion delves into this scholarship, focusing on Germany, Hungary, and Poland during the 20th and 21st centuries – nations where a significant portion of the electorate empowered illiberal leaders, thereby undermining key democratic institutions. The panel will explore what room for room civil society actors possessed to maintain resilience: How did they utilize – or fail to utilize – opportunities to resist the erosion of democratic structures? What critical junctures were missed in forming a robust democratic opposition to repressive regimes? What forms of resistance emerged from the grassroots, and what were the key tipping points that ultimately undermined societal and political resistance? By placing current global challenges within a strictly historical context, our distinguished panel will provide nuanced insights. Doors open at 5:30pm; panel discussion will begin at 6pm. This event will be streamed. Further details will be provided soon. Speakers: Michael Brenner (American University), Christina Morina (Univ. Bielefeld/ New School), Robert Nemes (Colgate College), Karolina Wigura (Univ. Warsaw); Moderators: Ken Pomeranz (Univ. Chicago) and Eric Langenbacher (AGI) Information Source: German Historical Institute Washington | eventbrite
