In just 9 days, CulturalDC presents MIGHTY MIGHTY: The Barbershop Project by acclaimed artist @devanshimoyama! 

Presented in partnership with @dcpubliclibrary, this immersive, fully functioning barbershop opens May 22 in CulturalDC’s Mobile Art Gallery outside the MLK Library (901 G Street NW). The installation reimagines the barbershop as a space for transformation, healing, and radical self-expression for Black and queer communities.

Originally launched in 2019, this iteration of The Barbershop Project features new works by Shimoyama that reflect the evolution of his practice and continued engagement with themes of beauty, identity, and care.

Join us for the Opening Celebration
Wednesday, May 22 | 5–8 PM
CulturalDC’s Mobile Art Gallery
Outside the MLK Memorial Library
901 G Street NW, Washington, DC

Guests will enjoy music, light refreshments, and an early look inside this powerful installation. Free and open to the public.

Our partners at @ushelpingus — a local nonprofit dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Black LGBTQ+ communities through HIV/STI prevention, care, mental health services, and more — will be on hand providing free STD/HIV screenings, resources, and giveaways throughout the event.
