Dissident Display Event

Thanks to Kerry for the heads up about an upcoming event at Dissident Display. The event, Wild Style: the Exhibition & Book Signing, takes place from 7pm-12am on September 14th. Wild Style, celebrates directer Charlie Ahearn's 25 year old film of the same name and its exploration of urban life through hip-hop, breakdancing, and graffiti art in the early 1980s. On display will be 15-20 photographs, a documentary film, and a special mural painted in, or rather on, the gallery space. The evning will also feature the stylings of Chief Rocker Busy Bee on the mic and DJ Stylus spinning. This event is free. The exhibit runs through October 14th. Dissident Display is located at 416 H Street.

I'd love to go check this place out, but it always seems un-inviting ... or looks closed (even though it probably isn't).

How about a sign out front inviting the locals in?
