# Fifty: A Community Memoir

**Hosted by:** Touchstone Gallery

**Type:** Exhibition | **Location:** Touchstone Gallery, Washington, DC, United States | **Deadline:** June 8, 2026

## About This Program

> "Collective memory, ancestry, migration, neighborhood histories, family narratives, cultural traditions"

Touchstone Gallery invites artists to submit work for Fifty: A Community Memoir, a group exhibition exploring the layered histories, lived experiences, and enduring legacies that form our collective identity. Memory is not only personal, but communal—carried over generations, embedded in place, and reflected in everyday life. This call seeks work that engages with ancestry, migration, neighborhood histories, family narratives, cultural traditions, and the marks left by time. How do we remember? What do we inherit, preserve, or challenge? What stories have been silenced, and which ones endure?
