Historical Photography
Meserve Collection Highlights: Modern Prints from Mathew Brady’s Portrait Negatives
National Portrait Gallery, 8th St NW & G St. NW. Through 2028.
Photographer Mathew Brady (c. 1823 –1896) may be best remembered today for his role in producing a remarkable visual record of the Civil War (1861–65). Yet he initially gained fame as a portrait photographer more than a decade before the war began.
Among Brady’s most popular offerings were small, card-mounted photographs known as cartes de visite. Modestly priced, they fueled the rapid growth of a mass market for photographic portraiture from the time of their introduction in the United States in 1859. Brady’s studios produced thousands of glass-plate negatives from which countless prints were made.
In 1981, the National Portrait Gallery acquired more than 5,400 Brady studio negatives. Originally assembled as part of a larger collection by amateur historian Frederick Hill Meserve, they offer an extraordinary pictorial index of the prominent figures of the Civil War era. The exhibition includes nine modern prints from Brady’s original photographic negatives. Portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ulysses S. Grant, and Emma, Queen of Hawai‘i are featured, along with an original, glass-plate negative and one of Brady’s wooden storage boxes.

IMPRINT 2.0
Tephra ICA and Tephra ICA at Signature
Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art, 11850 Freedom Drive, Reston. Through August 30.
On June 10, 2005, the Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE) opened its doors in its Reston Town Center, Market St. gallery with IMPRINT: The Artists from a New Town, exhibition. Inspired by Robert E Simon’s belief that the arts are at the core of a thriving society, this exhibition highlighted artists whose early experiences in Reston were shaped by — and contributed to — the town’s collective spirit of community, creativity, connection, and artistic expression.
Twenty years later, GRACE, now Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art (Tephra ICA), continues to embrace Simon’s belief that the arts are an essential component of a well-rounded life.
IMPRINT 2.0 revisits the inaugural exhibition, exploring the continued careers of artists Maggie Booth, Adam Grossi, Elizabeth Kendall, Pete Petrine, Marco Rando, and Yumi Janairo Roth. This new iteration will feature painting, sculpture, ceramics, drawings, photographs, and video and will be on view in both Tephra ICA’s main gallery (July 17–August 10) and satellite gallery, Tephra ICA at Signature (July 17–August 30, 2025).

NEITHER/NOR:
Traci Reynolds & Liz Johnson
Just Opened! ~ Fenwick Gallery at Fenwick Library, 4400 University Dr., Fairfax. Through Sept. 5.
Neither/Nor is a collaborative exhibition between Traci Reynolds and Liz Johnson, both MFA candidates in George Mason’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. Working with handmade paper and photography, the artists consider the gendered body as an in-between, non-conforming, unruly space. The gendered body — one that is perceived, shaped, disciplined, and transformed by normative standards and societal expectations — can at turns be seen as dangerous and vulnerable, alluring and repulsive, something to be feared and protected. Like pressing against a fresh bruise, both artists revel in the discomfort and subversive pleasure of this uncertain space.
In a series of photographic self-portraits, Ripe and Rot, Liz Johnson works with decaying fruit as a collaborator. Balanced and braced against her body, the fruit sometimes collapses under its own weight or is crushed by powerful limbs. Johnson uses these organic materials to navigate a complex terrain of fertility, time, and bodily transformation—not seeking an answer, but embracing entropy.
Traci Reynolds’s work, Raise, presents another view of the body (particularly the trans and non-gender-conforming body) as a site for deconstruction and reformation. This large-scale, abstracted, handmade paper sculpture is built through an intense process of beating fiber into pulp, molding and shaping each sheet, and imbuing the still-wet paper with hair and latex—symbolic forms of identity, protection, containment, and kink. Drawing from studies of the abject and the genre of body horror in film and manga, Reynolds’s paper forms are in continuous flux between beauty and the grotesque, tearing and repair, and containment and eruption.
Neither/Nor is on view in Fenwick Gallery through September 5, 2025. Visit masonexhibitions.org to learn more.

Vivian Browne: My Kind of Protest
Special Exhibition
The Phillips Collection, Goh Annex and Sant Building, Floor 3. Through Sept. 28.
Drawing upon previously unknown works and archival findings, this exhibition recovers the depth and variety of the more than four-decade career of Vivian Browne (b. 1929, Laurel, FL; d. 1993, New York, NY). The exhibition features paintings, prints, and works on paper across seven bodies of work, as well as ephemera that highlight Browne’s pioneering activism and influential teaching career. Browne was a founder of the Black Emergency Cultural Coalition, an organization that fought for Black representation in New York museums; a member of SOHO20, one of the first women’s art cooperatives in Manhattan; and a professor at Rutgers University (1971–92). Her signature approach to color and form challenged the neatly defined categories of abstraction and figuration, and art and politics, revealing a more nuanced approach to art-making that is part of Browne’s unique contribution to 20th-century art of the U.S.

Olney Theatre Center, Roberts Mainstage, 2001 Olney-Sandy Spring Road, Olney, Md. Through August 10.
For over twenty years, in-the-know D.C. audiences have thrilled to the magic of wordless Shakespeare from Synetic Theatre, called by the Washington Post “the region’s premier troupe for physical theater.” Now, Olney Theatre Center introduces audiences to Synetic's thrilling, kinetic performances with one of their most acclaimed, groundbreaking productions!

What could possibly go wrong?!
This playful adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream features Synetic’s trademark wordless storytelling and is the winner of two Helen Hayes Awards for Outstanding Resident Play and Outstanding Ensemble.
“Synetic reimagines one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays with wordless elegance. A decade after first attempting that delicate dance, this “Midsummer” still knows how to cast a spell.” ~ The Washington Post

Dead Inside
Presented by Ali Wong & Bill Hader
Extended through Aug. 3! ~ Woolly Mammoth Theatre, 641 D St. NW. July 30 through Aug. 3, at 8:00 p.m.
Created and performed by RIKI LINDHOME. Directed by BRIAN MCELHANEY.
Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company is proud to present the American premiere of Dead Inside, a hilarious and deeply personal new musical written and performed by actress, comedian, and songwriter Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel and Oates, Wednesday).
Part musical, part solo stand-up spiral, Dead Inside pulls back the speculum on Lindhome’s real-life fertility journey – hormone shots, invasive tests, monthly disappointment, and navigating a culture that still expects women to smile through it.
Tackling a subject often swept under the rug next to the biohazard bin, Dead Inside offers an unfiltered glimpse into one woman’s journey through infertility – told with humor, vulnerability, and original songs you’ll hum all the way to your next OB-GYN appointment.
“Trying to conceive is a full-time job that pays in despair and stretchier pants,” says Lindhome. “But at least now it also comes with a soundtrack.”
Note: This performance includes explicit language and discussion of infertility, miscarriage, abortion, and sexual acts.
