The Smithsonian’s 2021 Annual Report

The year 2021 marked the longest closure of the Smithsonian in our history. To tell that story in the annual report, a local photographer Stephen Voss and others around the world documented the year in pictures as it unfolded.

Poet Jennifer Chang, a long-time Washington, D.C., resident and committee member of the Asian Pacific American Center Literature Festival wrote about what the year felt like. A special thanks to Lawrence-Minh Bùi Davis, poetry editor and curator for the Asian Pacific American Center; and Laura Hambleton, Elizabeth McNeely and Elise Walter, the Office of Advancement’s Communications and Marketing team.
