🌟 Honfleur Gallery Opens “We Gather What Echoes” Exhibition Featuring Five Contemporary Artists on Nov 13 [SP]

Honfleur Gallery in Historic Anacostia will celebrate the opening of We Gather What Echoes, a group exhibition exploring memory, ancestry, identity, and transformation through collage, on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The exhibition features five contemporary artists: Jess Owens-Young, Paula Mans, Khadija Jahmila, Brittany Moná, and Mēlani N. Douglass.

Through family photographs, vintage magazines, textiles, found objects, and inherited memories, the artists use cutting, layering, stitching, and assembling to transform fragments of the past into powerful expressions of identity, belonging, and collective memory.

Rooted in traditions of storytelling and cultural preservation, the exhibition explores how the past continues to shape the present through art.

Opening Reception and Artist Conversation

The opening reception will include a fireside chat at 6:30 p.m., moderated by Anika Hobbs, curator and founder of Nubian Hueman, featuring conversations with the participating artists about their work and the exhibition's themes.
