Event Details

Hen House presents Tiny Show 2, an all-female/trans/non-binary exhibit featuring grand concepts on a miniature scale. The artists challenged themselves to create works within the physical constraints of 5in x 5in, with the hope of confronting our society’s all-too-often narrow view of women and their place in the artistic continuum. As the concepts depicted transcend the boundaries of their physical size, so too does the courage, creativity and genius of women.

Join us opening night on November 15th from 7pm-12am at Good Fast Cheap DC (524 Rhode Island Ave NE). There will be live DJs, live painting, drinks and food available.

Gallery Hours on Saturday, November 16th and Sunday, November 17th are from12pm-5pm.

Sunday night, November 17th from 6pm-10pm we’ll be holding a fundraiser/Bingo night benefitting HIPS (find out more about their organization at www.hips.org)

Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “Getting Down in Downton Abbey,” an analysis of the dramatic series’ depictions of sex and sexuality, with Julie Taddeo, professor of British history at the University of Maryland at College Park.

Downton Abbey is the most watched period drama in TV history. For six seasons millions followed the Crawley family and their staff below stairs as they lived through Britain’s Edwardian “golden age,” the First World War and the Roaring Twenties. Thanks to tourism to Highclere Castle, Downton-themed merchandising, and a new Downton Abbey movie, it continues to capture widespread public interest. Yet, despite (or perhaps because of) its popular success, Downton has been panned by most historians as presenting history through nostalgia-colored glasses.

There is still much in Downton that subverts our expectations, however, and this special encore talk will focus on its story lines about sex can be read as empowering and transgressive. From Lady Mary’s multiple attempts to find pleasure in the bedroom, to story lines about birth control, abortion, rape, and homosexuality, Downton is, as one fan declares, “nothing like the show that would be on at your grandparents’ house if they didn’t have cable when you were a kid.”

Comparing it to other popular costume dramas like Poldark, Peaky Blinders, and Call the Midwife, we’ll also see how these types of historical fictions are as much about our own time and values as they are about the past being represented on our small screens. (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15, save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts about 30 minutes later. Please allow yourself adequate time to place any orders and get seated and settled in.)

Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “Handicapping the Democratic Primaries,” with David Barker, professor of government and director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University.

In races between political candidates, it’s important to consider not just the strengths of the contestants, but the rules of the game and the conditions of the field. The relative advantages of insiders versus outsiders, sprinters versus marathoners, and clean runners versus “mudders” can vary tremendously from one place or time to the next. Our electoral system’s status as one of the most complicated in the world does not make understanding it any easier, and media pundits are rarely much help.

Profs and Pints is offering you a chance to gain a sophisticated knowledge of the factors at play as we look to see who will emerge from a crowded field of Democratic candidates vying to be their party’s nominee for president and evaluate their chances of winning in 2020. Coming to the stage to help you make sense of it all is David Barker, who previously has given illuminating talks on Congressional gridlock and the impact of “alternative facts” in American politics. Drawing upon his decades of research, Professor barker will tackle questions such as:

• How does the primary and caucus calendar affect the outcome? Which candidates does such timing favor?
• How do the rules vary, and which candidates have an advantage in primaries vs. caucuses, or open primaries vs. closed primaries?
• How is “electability” shaping this contest? How are related considerations pertaining to race, gender, sexuality, religion, age and ideological “extremism”?
• How do campaign strategies differ in nominations vs. general elections?
• Who is running the smartest campaign?
• How are the media influencing this race so far, and is that likely to change?
• What role do party insiders play, and who are they lining up behind?

You might not end up feeling like a winner after the ballots are counted, you’ll at least have less of a chance of being surprised. (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15, save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later. Please allow yourself time to place any orders and get seated and settled in.)
