Amid the rapid expansion of the U.S. prison system over the last half-century, Central Appalachia became an area of particular growth for the construction of new carceral facilities. Due to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ First Step Act, which established a radius of up to 500 miles between incarcerated individuals and their home residences, cities as far as Washington DC are enmeshed in relationships to the mountainous communities of Appalachia via the regular displacement of people through the prison-industrial-complex. In this exhibition, artists use a range of tactics to communicate the histories of harm, abolitionist activism, and community that emerge from this transregional entanglement. Through coal dust photography, quiltmaking, pen illustration, and other media, 500 Miles Out highlights a range of stories: episodes of organizing against pro-prison federal policies, the lived experiences of structural racism in Appalachian prisons bolstered by the stark demographic divides between incarcerated populations and local prison staffs, and the repurposing of toxic mining sites toward federal prison building. In several of the works on view, the proposed construction of federal prison FCI Letcher––which is slated to be built on a former mountaintop removal coal mine in Letcher County, Kentucky, and would be the most expensive prison in U.S. history if constructed––serves as a particularly pressing case through which artists and activists agitate against continued expansion of the carceral apparatus. Artists: Jonas N.T. Becker, Lacy Hale, Jared Hamilton, Jordan Martinez-Mazurek, Comrade Pitt Panther, Tiffany Pyette, Kat Smith, Sylvia Ryerson. Curated by Gabrielle Christiansen.

Glenn Jones is a master of American Primitive Guitar, a style invented in the late 1950s by John Fahey, whose traditional fingerpicking techniques and wide-ranging influences were used to create modern original compositions. Jones, who led the post-rock ensemble Cul de Sac, brings his own made-up tunings, the use of custom-crafted partial capos, and a highly skilled picking style on both banjo and guitar, to create personal compositions that are lyrical, emotive and elegant.
Liam Grant is a New England guitarist and improviser cut from the American Primitive cloth. The restless guitar explorations, modal epics, and driving uptempo rags recall the likes of Grant's pedagogue, Takoma Records, and the path that was paved by his forebears John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Peter Walker, Max Ochs, and later, Glenn Jones, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Jack Rose, and others.
Ari Rosenfield is a folk singer and songwriter from the southwestern US who has had severe writer's block for about six years. She will play you some sad songs she wrote for the banjo a long time ago, and hopefully that will help her overcome her writer's block. She wishes her songs sounded like if Joanna Newsom helped Leonard Cohen write his songs and then Karen Dalton played covers of them, but in reality, they're probably much worse.

The Early is Alex Lewis (guitars, synthesizers) and Jake Nussbaum (drums, electronics). The two have spent the past seven years reinventing their shared musical language, infusing the textural grandeur of post-rock with the communicational intimacy of jazz improvisation, the patient grooves of minimalism, electronica, and drone. Their 2026 release, I Want To Be Ready (Island House Recordings) was described by Record Crates United as “drifty, minimalist jazz fusion soundscapes that hum, drone and rumble like the atmosphere of a clockwork city.”
Bent Light is the duo of Michael Slyne and Russel Linder. 2 punk rockers and less volume. Two guitars. Millions of pedals. Busted tape machines sing too. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes harsh. They say it feels like a dream.

DC Dyke March organizers invite fellow Dykes to join us for a fire eating training led by DC’s beloved drag king and fire eater, Dr. Torcher. Get ready for a hands-on, flame-filled evening where you'll learn how to eat fire (yes, for real). After this training you’ll be ready to join Dr. T and the crew in eating fire to conclude the Dyke March on June 5th!
ASL interpretation provided. $0-$35 sliding scale. No one turned away due to lack of funds. Please wear a mask when not eating fire!
Brief history of Dykes eating fire: This tradition began in response to a hate crime in 1992 in which the home of two queer people was firebombed, burning them to death. A direct-action group called the Lesbian Avengers used fire as a powerful visual that queers would not be intimidated or destroyed by homophobic violence, hence the chant that goes along with this tradition: “The fire will not consume us! We take it and make it our own!”

Outside Time presents an evening with Lifted to celebrate the release of Movie.
Lifted is the duo of Andrew Field Pickering (Max D, Dolo Percussion, Beautiful Swimmers) and Matt Papich (Co La, Ecstatic Sunshine). Movie, their first release for rising DC-based label Outside Time, is like a film shot with microphones rather than cameras, using the pacing, spatialization, and semiotics of cinematic sound design to lead us through a surreal soundworld that draws as much from Foley artistry as dub, jazz, and electronic music.
more eaze is the project of Brooklyn-based sound artist and multi-instrumentalist Mari Maurice. Ranging from ambient pop to folk and musique concrete, her numerous solo and collaborative releases weave mundane, everyday sounds, acoustic orchestration and instrumentation, and electronics into adventurous textural compositions that move seamlessly between the banal and the ethereal.
Earthen Sea is the experimental ambient/beat solo project of Jacob Long. He crafts a compelling synthesis of shadowy rhythms and opaque atmospherics, drawing on the most potent qualities of melancholic ambient and dub techno.

Paolo Angeli is considered one of the most important innovators on the international music scene. Originally from Palau (at the northern tip of Sardinia), he grew up with his gaze turned toward the sea. Starting from the traditional instrument, thanks to a decade-long apprenticeship with master Giovanni Scanu and the influences of 20th-century avant-garde visionaries, he created the prepared Sardinian guitar, a true orchestra-instrument. Since the mid-1990s, he has embraced influences from free jazz, folk noise, minimal pop, contemporary flamenco, Arabic music, and post-rock, reachin at a synthesis language that brings Sardinian traditional music into the contemporary world. Improvisation is the driving force behind Paolo Angeli’s 30-year career, not only as a means of connecting and developing compositional structures but also as a practice of communication among musicians from diverse latitudes and musical cultures. His journey reached a milestone in 2018 with a performance at Carnegie Hall in New York, cementing his place among the world’s leading “innovators with roots” and defining a groundbreaking path for Mediterranean avant-garde music.
Opening set by Kiyan Saifi (solo guitar)

Hailed by The Wire as “A grand menagerie of creative music,” Seventh Stanine is a gathering of artists who, against all promise of financial gain, notoriety, or any of the usual tropes associated with playing music, continue to make art because they have to; they can't imagine their lives without it. As described in the Washington Post in 2025 by pop music critic Chris Richards, “The mere idea of a “music festival” implies a certain bigness, but what if instead of inviting audiences into a treasure vault, organizers offered a glimpse into a jewel box?”
