Inhabiting the Landscape: Collective Garments for a Living Ecology Fashion Show & Public Conversation Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 3–4:30 PM @PS122 Gallery, 150 First Ave, NYC Yohanna Roa & Felicia Young present nine wearable artworks developed over the past four years through the Costume/Bio-Arts workshops Yohanna Roa led as Costume/Textile Artist-in-Residence and Workshop Instructor with Earth Celebrations. Created collectively with community participants for Ecological City: Procession for Climate Solutions directed by Felicia Young, these garments explore urban ecology, environmental awareness, and the relationships between artistic production, ecological knowledge, and community participation. The fashion show will be followed by a public conversation with Felicia Young, Founder and Executive Director of Earth Celebrations, and Yohanna M. Roa, examining how collaborative artistic practices can generate environmental awareness, shared knowledge, and forms of collective action. About the speakers Yohanna M. Roa is a New York-based transcultural feminist visual artist working across performance, textiles, garment-making, and critical archival intervention. Her practice examines how history, knowledge, and memory are materially produced and embodied. Through wearable works and participatory textile processes, she approaches the body as a site of knowledge and artistic production as a method of research, collaboration, and public engagement. Felicia Young is a social-action artist and Founder and Executive Director of Earth Celebrations, a nonprofit organization based on New York’s Lower East Side. Since 1991, she has developed interdisciplinary art projects integrating visual art, performance, public processions, education, and civic participation to address environmental and social issues, including community-garden preservation, watershed restoration, coastal resilience, and climate action.

Today was a beautiful reminder of the power of community. Thank you to the organizers of Celebrate Kensington NOCD-NY, Arts & Democracy, the Kensington Cultural Council, and all of the incredible community partners for welcoming Brown Babies n’ Books into this celebration. We are so grateful to have been included among so many organizations committed to cultivating joy, creativity, and belonging in our neighborhood. It was an honor to share my personal poem, “Both Hands Full,” and to read Saturday by Oge Mora with families. Being able to speak honestly about the realities of motherhood and then sharing a story that is so relatable to Brooklyn life and all of the adventures I go on with my daughter was the heart of what created this initiative and my experience. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, listened, shared your own stories, and reminded me that vulnerability has a way of bringing people together. 💛📚✨
