Photographer Garry Winogrand was one of the great mid-20th-century American street photographers, chronicling the connections that unite us, and the barriers (of sex, class, age and race, for instance) that sometimes keep us apart. As well-known as his work is, however, there are still pictures of his that haven't been previously shown. At the time of his 1984 death, he left thousands of undeveloped negatives. Some of them will appear in this retrospective, among the 190 or so works selected to showcase Winogrand's keen, sometimes satirical, yet always compassionate eye.

Yes, the Intersections Festival has dance, music and theater, like any other respectable arts festival in D.C. would. But it has one thing the others don't: A dog circus. "Mutts Gone Nuts" is one of the 60 acts, many of which are free, that will be featured in the Atlas Theatre's 16-day festival. If dog tricks aren't your thing, catch performances from artists like the Jane Franklin Dance Company, UrbanArias, Christylez Bacon, and Mary Alouette.
