- Caption
- A caricature of a man wearing a beanie and playing bongo drums humorously questions credentialization and higher education. He points to a red rectangle and a list of numbers, while text to the left of the figure reads, “A Master Dee-Gree in Drumology!” The item is part of a collection associated with the New Thing Art & Architecture Center, a community arts space in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. This predominantly black and sepia-tone image, likely used to promote a drum class, considers how art and music can inspire radical, transformational change, particularly when nurtured by grassroots organizations working outside traditional institutional spaces.
