New Art Exhibit at House of Sweden

Join House of Sweden (2900 K St NW) on Saturday, March 2 from 12 pm – 5 pm for the opening weekend of ICONS – An Exhibition About the Right to Exist. The photo exhibition explores the right to exist and be seen, regardless of who you are. It features portraits of iconic figures – real and fictional – modeled by 21 individuals with Down Syndrome. Here, they get to act out their dreams and desires in society, pop culture, and art. Saturday events will include guided tours of the exhibition, interactive stations, fika, and more. Ida Johansson, a featured ballerina in the exhibition, and Pär Johansson, founder and artistic director of Glada Hudik Theater, will be there.
