Sustain: A Public Art Experience in Washington, DC

Moms Clean Air Force will join local artist Monica Jahan Bose for the dedication ceremony of SUSTAIN—a public art experience—on June 3 at 7 PM.

SUSTAIN is a collective response to sustainability and the climate crisis, featuring community-sourced poetry and art on saris. Made with women farmers from artist Monica Jahan Bose’s ancestral island village in Bangladesh and DC participants of public sari and urban gardening workshops, the saris will wrap around the six grand columns of LINE DC’s façade and create a welcoming passageway at Unity Park. Other highlights include a soundwalk, poetry slam, and film screenings about sustainable practices and the impacts of climate on agriculture and food security. SUSTAIN marks ten years of the collaborative climate justice project Storytelling with Saris.

SUSTAIN will be open for viewing June 1 to June 9, 24 hours/day. Admission is free.
