<a href="https://www.facebook.com/figmentdc">FIGMENT DC</a> is a free, two-day event that will transform the beautiful outdoor space of Anacostia Park into a magical, colorful playground! <span class="fsl">Adults and kids are invited to come out and play! Create, and learn with and from your neighbors and help to transform this beautiful urban park into a magical, family-friendly, artists' wonderland! </span><span class="fsl">Come out with your games, colorful outfits and smiles, because you help to create FIGMENT. </span><br />

“FIGMENT is an opportunity for our DC community to come together and enjoy art in all its forms,” says Patty Simonton, director of FIGMENT DC 2015. “Unlike most art galleries in Washington, FIGMENT erases the lines between those who create and those who view art so that everyone can become an artist. DC really does have a thriving, creative arts community and this event brings that artistic energy out to a broad audience.”<br />
<span class="fsl"></span><br />
<span class="fsl">Inspired by Burning Man and keeping with the Burner principles, nothing is for sale and there is no corporate sponsorship. </span>Again this year, over 40 local DC and DMV area artists will present collaborative art projects and events at <a href="http://dc.figmentproject.org/">FIGMENT DC</a>, ranging across diverse media including music, sculpture, visual art and mixed media, earth works, dance and movement, and story-telling. This year <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/campcontacteastcoast/">Camp Contact</a> might have some <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/AcroYogaDC/">Acro Yoga</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/dccontactimprov/">Contact Improv</a> going on Sunday, possibly on Saturday as well.</div>

FIGMENT is a festival designed to bring imagination to life. There will be all kinds of art forms and activities, and you are encouraged to bring your own as well! FIGMENT is the perfect time to play make-believe (for both kids & adults!) so feel free to dress up in whatever creative costume or outfit you want! You can also bring along toys: Hula hoops, poi, croquet sets, knitting, water guns, games – anything that you want to play with or invite others to join you in!<br />
<br />
Dogs are welcome if they are friendly, but must be kept on a leash. Please clean up after your pooch! Have Roller skates? Bring them if you like, there is a covered roller rink on site! Feel free to come on your bike and consider decorating it with streamers, lights, fake fur, or other art, Burning Man style!<br />
<div>

</div>
<div>
<a href="http://dc.figmentproject.org/2012-about/projects-artists-2013/">FIGMENT DC</a> is a participatory festival that is volunteer run, non-profit and non-commercial. <a href="http://figmentproject.org/">FIGMENT</a> started in New York City and now takes place in a bunch of <a href="http://figmentproject.org/">others cities</a>. Learn more about the history of FIGMENT <a href="http://figmentproject.org/about/why-figment/">here</a> and read more about the FIGMENT principles, which are very similar to the Burning Man Principles, <a href="http://figmentproject.org/about/principles/">here</a>. <a href="http://www.figmentproject.org/">FIGMENT</a> is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization entirely funded by grants and individual donations. FIGMENT accepts no corporate sponsorship of any kind.<br />
<br />
Note also that this is a “Leave No Trace” event, inspired by the <a href="http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/principles.html#.UkCtzYY3uD4">Ten Burning Man Principles</a>. While trash and recycling receptacles will be on-site, they ask you all that if you bring it in with you, please carry it out. This includes cigarette butts, which fit quite well in a small metal box in your pocket.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Another principle they are asking attendees to be aware of is <a href="http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/principles.html#.UkCtzYY3uD4">Decommodification</a>, which means that the festival is run without any commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. As this is a non-commercial event, there will not be any concessions of any kind on site. Please come prepared with your own water, snacks and refreshments! The event will have porta-potties/restrooms. Please refrain from bringing any grills, alcohol and drugs. Please do bring your curiosity, playfulness, an open mind and your creative spirit! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nps.gov/anac/index.htm">Anacostia Park</a> is a beautiful urban park along the east side of the Potomac River in DC. Conveniently located near the Potomac Ave and Anacostia Metro stations, the North Field is accessible from bike paths and I-395. There is some parking on site. If you are driving there, please <a href="http://dc.figmentproject.org/?page_id=2934">review the directions to get to the park</a>, as we know that GPS systems can frequently be wrong.<br />
<br />
If you want to attend and don't own a bike, there is <a href="http://www.capitalbikeshare.com/stations">Capital BikeShare station</a> right at the Potomac Ave Metro station but there is not one at the park so you can either keep the bike with you and pay for time or drop it at the closest <a href="http://www.capitalbikeshare.com/stations">station</a>, at Pennsylvania & Minnesota Ave SE, which is still about a 15 minute walk from the park. If you don't want to walk from the metro, it should be a short, and affordable taxi ride, especially if you share it with others.<br />

There’s a bike trail to follow, but please keep an eye out for traffic! After you cross the bridge, turn left onto the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail before you get to 295, then turn right onto the path along the river. Look for a large covered pavilion – it’s the roller rink, and it’s hard to miss! </div>

Created by DC area artists and composed by Mark Baughman, <a href="http://www.99rockopera.com/about99/">99 A Rock Opera</a> tells of a protest story. Using dramatic lyrics, heavy rock-n-roll, dancing and multi-media, in the tradition of “Tommy” by The Who. Taking it’s inspiration straight from the headlines, the rock opera asks: Can well-meaning people work out their differences, or even coexist? Are they are compelled to join one side or another and fight for people and institutions that are barely know? </div>
<br />
<div>
Get a sense of what you're in store for at the premiere event by <a href="http://www.99rockopera.com/about99/the-demos/">watching</a> and <a href="http://www.99rockopera.com/about99/the-demos/">listening</a> to some of the pieces that will be featured in the performance <a href="http://www.99rockopera.com/about99/the-demos/">here</a>! The show will ultimately be a full blown staged musical (a la Tommy and Rent) but now it's the concert version in which we're experimenting with slides, video, narration and dance.<br />
<br />
Short Synopsis: A middle aged engineer working for the Department of Environment in Cleveland, Ohio, tasked with managing a group of protesters (who are the “99ers”) discovers that the leader of the 99ers is his college flame. Thrilled to see her after all these years, he is crushed by her rebuke that he is a sell-out. Other characters add more complexities to this story, including others who are at the protest and the wife of the engineer who has been hiding her illness, and those who are part of the opposition.</div>

The film film will be the classic with Michael J. Fox, "Back to the Future" (1985) – Rated PG.

Transformer is proud to announce the launch of the second of four individual exhibitions within our E12: Social Practice Lab series with E12 artist Kunj’s "vis·i·bil·i·ty." Engaging with audiences through a series of public actions, events and performances, Kunj will explore the topic of visibility, invisibility and hypervisibility, while questioning the necessity of community-created “safe-space.”At the Opening Kuny will explore “Your Birthday” examining hyper-visibility and birthday rituals. Kunj is a DC-based interdisciplinary artist, whose work focuses on hetero-normative dissuasion questioning and rebelling institutional ideas of race, gender, and queerness. Often times creating work is that is impermanent, Kunj uses ritual performance and structure to explore the notion of no-identity versus new-identity. He received his BA in Anthropology and Studio Art from the University of Maryland, with emphasis on physical culture, identity, and printmaking, and has performed at Grace Exhibition Space (NY), EMP Collective (MD), and The National Portrait Gallery (DC). </div>

Jeffrey McClurken, University of Mary Washington, talks about the historical representations (both good and bad) of the Civil War in film. From caricatured stereotypes in movies such as Gone with the Wind, and Birth of a Nation to the thinking man’s historical drama in 1989’s Glory, and 2014’s Lincoln, McClurken gives an academic spin on how the war’s historical narrative in the movies has evolved.
