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.
