For over a decade, Matt Pavesich, Director of the Johns Hopkins University Writing Program, has documented more than 1,000 creative adaptations of the DC flag — revealing how residents use its iconic stars and bars to speak up, reimagine identity, and claim space. 

The DC History Center is inviting you to join the conversation. Explore this living archive of creative resistance and civic pride, then design your own remixed DC flag inspired by something that matters to you. 

Pre-registration suggested. Email to cancel your registration if you can no longer attend. This allows another interested participant to enjoy the workshop and shows investment and care for your community. Limited walk-ins available.
