The NoMa BID recently unveiled the second outdoor video art installation located at the K Street Virtual Gallery, within the 400-foot rail underpass on K Street between First and Second Streets NE.
“Mamie ‘Peanut’ Johnson Plaza” was selected by the community as the winning name for the trio of new public spaces being brought to NoMa by the reconstruction of the Florida Avenue/New York Avenue NE intersection.

🚲🖼 Join us tomorrow to welcome DC Artist @nekishadurrett and her new exhibit, “Centuries,” to the K Street Virtual Gallery! Experience this new, immersive art and discover the impactful story behind it starting at 5:30 p.m. outside 100 K Street NE. Link in bio to RSVP.
...“Centuries” celebrates the contributions of Black women to the sport of cycling and was inspired by the journey of five Black women who, in 1928, over the course of three days, cycled over 250 miles (two and a half centuries in cycling terms) from NYC to DC. They traversed hilly, rough, and dangerous roads through cold and stormy weather, but riding through the Jim Crow era presented an additional, more existential threat.
