  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Welcome Pavilion 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

Exhibit: Feb 20 - Mar 3, 2024. Hours: 10 a.m. - 12 a.m.

In Cuban designer Celia Ledón’s hands, discarded videotapes, pop-top rings, plastic bags, and rubber tires are given new life as dramatic wearable art. Celia’s show-stopping works have been featured at the Kennedy Center’s Artes de Cuba and RiverRun festivals. For REACH to FOREST, she has created THE-FORESTATION, a towering baobab tree of cardboard and other recycled materials, in collaboration with George Washington University.
