Experience Sightlines: Chinatown and Beyond, an exhibition showcasing the historical, cultural, and creative connections of Asian Americans to Washington, D.C. And join us every second Saturday of the month for Sightlines Saturdays!

For this month’s in-gallery program—Tag, You’re It!–visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition at noon, then participate in a hands-on activity from 1-3 p.m., creating their very own graffiti tags just like those by featured artist MISS CHELOVE (aka Cita Sadeli).

Presented by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, the Sightlines exhibition is on view on the first floor of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Meet in the G Street Lobby of the Smithsonian American Art Museum

March Sightlines Saturday Feature Program: MISS CHELOVE: From Java to the Streets of D.C.

Celebrate International Women’s Day and join us for our feature program: a film screening of MISS CHELOVE: From Java to the Streets of D.C., followed by a conversation with MISS CHELOVE (aka Cita Sadeli) and director Sara T. Gama, from 4-6pm, in the McEvoy Auditorium. Exploring the intersections of art, identity, and community, Sadeli and Gama will discuss what inspires their work–from personal histories and cultural heritage to the role of women in the arts and the power of creative expression in building community. Moderated by Mia Owens, Sightlines curatorial and programming assistant, this intimate dialogue will offer insight into their unique practices and shared commitment to celebrating resilience and representation through their art.
