A new Dupont pop-up is telling D.C.'s story for America 250

State of play: We Make D.C. is part store, part art installation and part crafting space.

At the "We Live Here" activation, you can take a trip through D.C.'s eight wards, each represented by murals painted by local artists.

• You can also watch videos from Washingtonians sharing stories about their connections to the city, record your own oral history at the space, or do it online through an app.
• Plus: The group behind the space will record a podcast featuring local movers and shakers.

Zoom in: At the "Make It Bar," you can create your own D.C.-themed souvenir or sign up for workshops like candle-making or DIY stationery led by local makers.

• If you want to leave the crafting to the pros, there are locally made goods.

Plus: The space will host events like panels and live music, as well as a pop-up cafe featuring rotating coffee and matcha vendors.

The deets: It runs through year's end — check it out at 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW.
