Duende District, a DMV-based pop-up bookstore by and for people of color – where all are welcome – will be at The Torpedo Factory Art Center this summer.
Regular business hours will be 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with specialized hours for events. Art Center visitors can shop a highly curated selection of adult and children’s titles, all by authors/illustrators of color, and engage in a series of community literary events for all ages.
The bookstore will also feature work and studio hours by local Virginia artists of color, to be announced.
Founded in February 2017 by Angela Maria Spring, Duende District’s mission is to bring a highly inclusive and pleasurable general bookstore experience in Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas, serving a multicultural community with an equally multicultural ownership/staff, and all are welcome.
