“We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth”

“We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth”

  • Virginia Museum of History & Culture (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

About the Exhibition
Stories of opportunity, community and resilience are brought to life at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) in “We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth,” an exhibition that brings together more than 100 voices speaking to distinct perspectives on the immigrant experience of Virginians. A signature component of the Museum’s multi-year slate of exhibitions, programs and activations commemorating the 250th anniversary of America, “We The People” presents the deeply personal narratives of individuals born in 68 countries who sought freedom, opportunity and refuge by immigrating to the United States.

One of the leading catalysts for semiquincentennial commemorations in Virginia and beyond, VMHC has played a key role in shaping the Commonwealth’s 250th anniversary efforts. The Museum was among the first institutions to convene statewide history leaders and encouraged Virginia’s General Assembly to found the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250). In July 2023, VMHC announced a comprehensive program for the anniversary, including two marquee exhibitions, “We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth” and “Give Me Liberty: Virginia & The Forging of a Nation,” which opened in March 2025 as the first major exhibition in the nation to mark the milestone anniversary.

Accompanying programs
March 28: Commonwealth Crossroads: A Celebration of Virginia's Immigrant Traditions

  • Celebrating the richness of artistic traditions brought to Virginia by recent immigrants and refugees, this showcase event includes music, dance, food, visual arts and ceremonies performed by master artists from around the world now living in the Commonwealth. The traditions featured were born and nurtured over centuries in places like Mongolia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Bolivia, Guatemala and Cambodia; and that are now thriving here.

  • Artists and groups include Señora Julia Garcia (Quechua welcoming ceremony), the Nguyen Family Band (music from Vietnam), Gankhuyag (GanNa) Natsag (Tsam Buddhist masks), Ubaldo Sanchez (Alfombra), Tradiciones Bolivianos (Bolivian dancing), Sochietah Ung (Cambodian dance and costumes) and Lemlem Gebray and her twin daughters Datta and Akeza Seyoum (Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony).

·       April 12: Latinx Fashion Show

  • Latinx Fashion Show (LFS) VCU hosts their annual fashion show celebrating Latinx designers and the power of visibility, resilience and community. This year's theme, orchids, represents reblooming after damage as well as strength and perseverance in unstable conditions. An artist discussion, moderated by local Virginia designer, Jennifer Ortiz,
    follows the show.

·       March 30-April 3: Spring Break Family Events

  • Mon: Global Crafts for Kids

Imagining Best Products

Imagining Best Products

  • The Branch Museum of Design (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Some of the most unexpected design ideas started right here in Richmond.

If you grew up here, you might remember Best Products. Our new exhibition, Imagining Best Products, revisits the local company that became an unlikely platform for architectural innovation.

By inviting architects to rethink the traditional big box store, Best turned retail into a creative experiment. The result was a series of bold, unconventional storefronts that challenged expectations and expanded what commercial architecture could look like. Through drawings, models, and photographs, the Best story comes to life.

Join us for the opening reception this Thursday, May 7. Members get complimentary early access from 5–6 PM, followed by the public reception from 6–8 PM. $10 admission includes wine and beer.

We’ll also have a limited run of Best-themed t-shirts, totes & hats by Odd Bird — a first look at what’s to come in The Branch’s new gift shop, launching this summer. We’ll also have a pop-up with our friends at Big Day Polaroids.

India's Great Mughals: Art, Power, and Opulenc
May
9
to Aug 23

India's Great Mughals: Art, Power, and Opulenc

Immerse yourself in the golden age of the Mughal Empire. India's Great Mughals: Art, Power, and Opulence celebrates the glorious artistic achievements and grandeur of one of history's great empires.  

India's Great Mughals includes 200 sumptuous objects—intricate paintings and manuscripts, lavish textiles, architectural elements, metalwork, furniture, arms and armor, dazzling precious stones, and more. Opulent works of art—many made in the imperial workshops—convey the power and tastes of the three most celebrated Mughal emperors: Akbar (r. 1556–1605), Jahangir (r. 1605–27), and Shah Jahan (r. 1628–58). From the tiniest jeweled objects to the monumental wonder of the Taj Mahal, this highly sophisticated and globally connected empire produced treasures of unparalleled splendor and magnificence.  

The extraordinary creative output of the imperial ateliers conveyed the Mughals’ great wealth and power. In addition to glorifying the emperors, these diverse artistic productions also signaled worldliness. Descendants of a Central Asian prince, these cosmopolitan emperors presided over a multicultural court that fused Indian and Iranian cultures and regarded the empire's array of languages and religions with great interest. Most notably, they encouraged artistic exchange with Europe, China, Africa, and the Americas, and elevated the importance of cultural and artistic pursuits to new heights. 

India's Great Mughals: Art, Power, and Opulence is organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum. The coordinating curator for VMFA is Dr. John Henry Rice, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art.

Elsewhere Shakespeare presents “Much Ado About Nothing”
Jun

7:00 PM19:00

Elsewhere Shakespeare presents “Much Ado About Nothing”

About the play

William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing tells the story of two proud, willful "happily single" people who get tricked by their friends into admitting their love for each other. Amidst a backdrop of petty family drama and deceit, a group of people find love, thanks to the help of a pair of bumbling constables. Estimated run time: 90 minutes

About the performance

Weather permitting, this intimate performance will be staged outdoors in the sunken garden of Agecroft Hall. Audience members are encouraged to bring along seat cushions, blankets, and/or lawn chairs on which to sit during the 90-minute production. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be moved inside and will take place in the Williams Room of Agecroft Hall.

About the company

Elsewhere Shakespeare is a small collective of actor-managers that began in 2019 in an attempt to apply the DIY ethos of the punk scene to producing Shakespeare. They believe that most things that make Shakespeare plays cheaper, faster, and easier to produce also make them more enjoyable both for actors and audiences.

They will only rehearse for about 10 hours in the day leading up to the performance. And Elsewhere shows do not utilize a director or stage manager: their process is entirely ensemble-led. Actors will make their own performance choices, pick their own costumes, and collectively decide how to tell the story.

And with at least a third of the cast changing between the two performances of each play, the whole story will take on new directions and new meanings as different cast members bring their own interpretation to the text.

Elsewhere usually stages their 90-min shows in unconventional spaces like bars, art galleries, basements, and occasionally folks' living rooms. But they are thrilled to bring their ragtag work to a classy joint for once.

$25.00 per person
20% discount for Agecroft members

Profs & Pints Richmond: The Road to Mass Surveillance
Jun
24
6:00 PM18:00

Profs & Pints Richmond: The Road to Mass Surveillance

Profs and Pints Richmond presents: “The Road to Mass Surveillance,” on the proliferation of automated license plate readers and the threats that they pose to our freedoms, with Steven Keener, a leading researcher on such devices as an assistant professor of criminology and director of the Center for Crime, Equity, and Justice Research and Policy at Christopher Newport University.

Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras have popped up throughout the country, with Flock Safety emerging as the predominant producer. They capture images of every passing vehicle and feed that data into centralized databases, giving tremendous power to track our movements on the road to both the government agencies that use them and the private companies contracted to operate them. 

Proponents of the technology praise it for helping to track stolen cars, felony suspects, and missing persons. But it also has been used by law enforcement officers to stalk ex-partners, and its misreads of license plates have led to false accusations of crimes. Data from the cameras have been shared with entities that are not supposed to be allowed access, and attempts have been made to use such data to track individuals attending protests or crossing state lines to access health care that their own state banned. People have hacked into the cameras and the data they gather and broadcast that information on YouTube. 

Learn in depth about ALPR cameras and the debate over their use and regulation with Steven Keener, the lead author of the first geospatial analysis of this emerging technology, “Surveillance Inequality: Race, Poverty and the Geography of Automated License Plate Reader Cameras.”

Dr. Keener will provide an overview of how ALPR cameras operate, describing what images are captured of each passing vehicle, what happens to those images in the short term, the lifecycle of the data that the cameras collect, and how the cameras are operated jointly by local police and private surveillance companies. 

He’ll offer insights on the comprehensive, expansive database that has been built using the images captured by ALPR cameras, describing where that information is stored, who has access to it, how long it can be accessed and for what reasons, and what happens when the dataset is tapped into for investigations and criminal cases. You’ll learn about where cameras are placed and about trends in their use.

Dr. Keener will look at the risks of such a comprehensive dataset of individuals' daily movement patterns and bring you up to speed on court cases challenging ALPR surveillance systems on grounds such as the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition of unreasonable search and seizure. We’ll look at rigorous debates at the local level over whether to maintain or cancel contracts with the private surveillance companies and at efforts by state lawmakers in Virginia and elsewhere to put guardrails on such technology. 

Dr. Keener, a critic of ALPR systems who actively works with community organizations evaluating the cancellation of ALPR contracts, will equip talk attendees with the knowledge to engage in local advocacy. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

Frozen Treats, Live Beats

  • 1001 Riverview Parkway Richmond, VA, 23224 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Take a break from the workday and enjoy live music and frozen treats in Downtown Richmond with Venture Richmond’s new lunchtime pop-up series, Frozen Treats, Live Beats.

This free pop-up series brings eight live music performances to different locations throughout Downtown Richmond and Manchester, making it easy to step away from the desk, meet up with coworkers, and enjoy a little live music during the lunch hour.

The series takes place on select Thursdays from 12:00–1:00 PM.

The first 100 attendees at each event will receive a free frozen treat. Most locations will feature Richmond favorite Gelati Celesti, serving a complimentary scoop of their handcrafted ice cream. The May 7 pop-up will feature a free sweet treat from Daisy's.

After the first 100 treats are claimed, additional frozen treats will be available for purchase.

June 25: Founded in Richmond, VA in 2020 by John Hulley, Pay Rent Brass Band began as a way to make rent and quickly became a force of its own. Forged in the streets and dark bars of Richmond, Pay Rent is a tight six-piece brass band that never takes itself too seriously. One moment the audience is dancing to Destiny’s Child, the next they’re belting out The Circle of Life. Known for their love of video game music, Pay Rent brings the same intensity and care to their gaming sets as their pop, brass, and Latin staples. Their Sonic the Hedgehog set showcases a deep respect for the medium, while their Mega Man 3 show proves that brass playing can be just as technically demanding as the games that inspired it.

First Anniversary Black Out Party

"We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters and people who in many instances have absolutely no clue what they are doing."

- Trump, 2020

6 years later, we remain undefeated.

The Richmond Community Legal Fund was born out of our faith that we could fight the rising tide of fascism and win. This spring, our fund turned one year old. Our team, our movement, and our fight for freedom is much older, and has much farther to go.

In the past year we have covered nearly half a million dollars in legal costs for members of our community facing immigration and civil rights charges. We have paid bonds for our neighbors, we have rushed funds to families in need, we have made critical legal representation accessible for people who would otherwise face the state without a defense. We are fighting back, and we are making a difference.

Join us on June 25th at Studio 23 for music, food, and a testament to community resilience.

Wear black.

Tell your friends.

The band’s infectious energy and musical interplay routinely attract listeners that are admittedly more accustomed to lyric-based music. With great melodic sensibilities, rhythmic experimentation and an accessible modern edge, the Dirk Quinn Band is jazz/funk improvisation at its most engaging!

 Elsewhere Shakespeare presents “Henry V”

Elsewhere Shakespeare presents “Henry V”

About the play

Henry V tells the story of King Henry's conquest of France. Full of rousing motivational speeches about the brotherhood of soldiers, it shines a light on the nature of leadership and the costs of war. Estimated run time: 90 minutes

About the performance

Weather permitting, this intimate performance will be staged outdoors in the sunken garden of Agecroft Hall. Audience members are encouraged to bring along seat cushions, blankets, and/or lawn chairs on which to sit during the 90-minute production. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be moved inside and will take place in the Williams Room of Agecroft Hall.

About the company

Elsewhere Shakespeare is a small collective of actor-managers that began in 2019 in an attempt to apply the DIY ethos of the punk scene to producing Shakespeare. They believe that most things that make Shakespeare plays cheaper, faster, and easier to produce also make them more enjoyable both for actors and audiences.

They will only rehearse for about 10 hours in the day leading up to the performance. And Elsewhere shows do not utilize a director or stage manager: their process is entirely ensemble-led. Actors will make their own performance choices, pick their own costumes, and collectively decide how to tell the story.

And with at least a third of the cast changing between the two performances of each play, the whole story will take on new directions and new meanings as different cast members bring their own interpretation to the text.

Elsewhere usually stages their 90-min shows in unconventional spaces like bars, art galleries, basements, and occasionally folks' living rooms. But they are thrilled to bring their ragtag work to a classy joint for once.

$25.00 per person
20% discount for Agecroft members

The Monster Manual with Sarah Glenn Marsh
Jul

11:30 AM11:30

The Monster Manual with Sarah Glenn Marsh

Readers of all ages, you won't want to miss this one! Sarah is launching her newest middle grade book at 1312 E Cary St with Diana Peterfreund!


The Monster Manual is not a bedtime story. It’s a field guide to the beasts that slither, skulk, and stalk when the lights go out. Collected by vanished monster-hunters and forbidden to be printed—until now—these pages contain the truth grown-ups won’t admit: monsters are real. 

From vampires and goblins to witches and werewolves, this creep-tacular book serves as a guide to the history of monsters and offers information on how and where to find these mythical beings, as well as descriptions and tales of human contact with them over time. Complete with interactive elements like quizzes (“What’s Your Monster Personality?”), activities/crafts (brew a witch’s potion), and survival warnings from those who dared to hunt these creatures down, this compendium is your only hope—should you find yourself face-to-face with something that should not exist.


About the Author:

Sarah Glenn Marsh is the bestselling author of several young adult novels and many picture books. Her Irish heritage has inspired a love of fairy folklore and fantastical storytelling from a young age. She lives with her husband, daughter, four dogs, two birds, and several fish (who may have seen a few mermaids in their time) in Richmond, Virginia.


DIANA PETERFREUND has published sixteen novels for adults, teens, and kids. Her works have been named to the New York Public Library’s Books for the Teen Age list, the Capitol Choices reading list, the Texas LoneStar List, and the Sunshine State Young Reader Awards List, as well as Amazon’s Best Books of the Year. In addition, she’s written dozens of short stories and a variety of nonfiction essays about popular children’s literature. Diana lives in Maryland with her family.

The Half Life Launch with Rachel Beanland
Jul
14
6:00 PM18:00

The Half Life Launch with Rachel Beanland

Local favorite Rachel is launching her next novel! She will be talking with Kevin Powers at VCU's Cabell Library.


Each ticket includes a signed copy of The Half Life!


There is a separate ticket for an online-only event, since this will be broadcast from the library. Please see the separate event for that ticket if you cannot make it in person.


About the Book:

When twenty-three-year-old Eileen O’Malley meets charismatic naval officer Paul Archer in a Charleston department store, she doesn’t expect to fall so hard, so fast. But Paul is funny and ambitious, and soon, Eileen’s got a ring on her finger and is following him to the tiny, sun-drenched Mediterranean island of La Maddalena, where Paul will be heading up Radiological Controls aboard a submarine tender.


In La Maddalena, Eileen joins a makeshift community of navy wives who are hell-bent on making the island feel a little more like home. But for Eileen, whose brother died in Vietnam, home is a loaded word, and as she settles into life on the island—taking Italian lessons and learning to make culurgiones—she begins to love the place for all the ways it is not like where she comes from.


Still, it doesn’t take long for Eileen to be confronted with the complexities of being an American abroad. The decision to send nuclear-powered subs into the La Maddalena Archipelago was a contentious one, and the U.S. government is doing whatever it can to ensure that the island—not to mention all of Italy—doesn’t go communist in the next election.


When Italian activists and scientists begin to sound the alarm about possible nuclear contamination in the water, the island erupts in a series of protests, made worse by the ongoing mishaps of the U.S. Navy. Soon, Eileen’s marriage falters and her loyalties begin to shift as she is drawn into a web of secrets—and to a local journalist who forces her to imagine a life beyond the one she’s been handed.


Atmospheric, sexy, and quietly defiant, The Half Life is a story of love, complicity, and awakening—of one woman forced to choose between loyalty to her husband and country and to the Italian locals who show her the high cost of American exceptionalism.


About the Author:

Rachel Beanland is the author of The House Is on Fire and Florence Adler Swims Forever, which won the National Jewish Book Award for Debut Fiction. She is a graduate of the University of South Carolina and earned her MFA in creative writing from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives with her family in Richmond, Virginia.


Kevin Powers was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. Since publishing his first novel in 2012, his books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. He has been a finalist for the National Book Award and a recipient of the PEN/Hemingway Award, the Guardian First Book Award, the Prix littéraire du Monde prix étranger, and the Grand Prix de Littérature Américaine, among other recognitions. He was a James A. Michener Fellow in Poetry at the University of Texas at Austin from 2009-2012 and later held a Guggenheim Fellowship in Fiction. A U.S. Army veteran of the war in Iraq, Kevin now lives on Florida’s First Coast with his family.

Elsewhere Shakespeare presents “Henry V”

Elsewhere Shakespeare presents “Henry V”

About the play

Henry V tells the story of King Henry's conquest of France. Full of rousing motivational speeches about the brotherhood of soldiers, it shines a light on the nature of leadership and the costs of war. Estimated run time: 90 minutes

About the performance

Weather permitting, this intimate performance will be staged outdoors in the sunken garden of Agecroft Hall. Audience members are encouraged to bring along seat cushions, blankets, and/or lawn chairs on which to sit during the 90-minute production. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be moved inside and will take place in the Williams Room of Agecroft Hall.

About the company

Elsewhere Shakespeare is a small collective of actor-managers that began in 2019 in an attempt to apply the DIY ethos of the punk scene to producing Shakespeare. They believe that most things that make Shakespeare plays cheaper, faster, and easier to produce also make them more enjoyable both for actors and audiences.

They will only rehearse for about 10 hours in the day leading up to the performance. And Elsewhere shows do not utilize a director or stage manager: their process is entirely ensemble-led. Actors will make their own performance choices, pick their own costumes, and collectively decide how to tell the story.

And with at least a third of the cast changing between the two performances of each play, the whole story will take on new directions and new meanings as different cast members bring their own interpretation to the text.

Elsewhere usually stages their 90-min shows in unconventional spaces like bars, art galleries, basements, and occasionally folks' living rooms. But they are thrilled to bring their ragtag work to a classy joint for once.

$25.00 per person
20% discount for Agecroft members
