The Smithsonian's Anacostia Community Museum documents and preserves communities’ memories, struggles, and successes, and offers a platform where diverse voices and cultures can be heard.

Smithsonian's Anacostia Community Museum

Join us as we explore strategies for climate action and artistically share climate pledges.

While working together around a sari-covered table, participants will discuss strategies for climate action. They will draw, paint, and write climate pledges on the 18-foot-long hand-woven cotton sari (a women’s garment from the Indian subcontinent) in solidarity with women farmers of coastal Bangladesh, who are on the frontlines of climate change. 

Bangladeshi-American artist and climate activist Monica Jahan Bose will lead the workshop. She has been co-creating saris with communities for 10 years.This event received Federal support from the
 Asian Pacific American Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Asian
 Pacific American Center.
