Mic Check

November 8, 2025 - January 17, 2026

On site

Mic Check features the work of artists Lindsay Adams, Jermaine “jET” Carter, Kamari Carter, Alanna Fields, Cameron A. Granger, Imar Lyman, Kai Jenrette, and Darol Olu Kae. Taking cues from the sonic landscape and cultural legacy of U Street Corridor, historically known as “Black Broadway,” the group exhibition spotlights music’s presence, politicization, and intergenerational resonance within Black American communities. Curated by Anisa Olufemi, director of programs and curator, Mic Check will feature sound, drawing, video, photo, and sculpture—including new works created especially for this exhibition.
