1000 Dolls

Working with local artist Ed Franklin, students at the University of Kentucky, and hundreds of Lexingtonians, CETA made 1,114 dolls (our goal was 1,000), using paper, color pens, wood, socks, thread, buttons, embellishments, and clay. We curated an exhibition and a community celebration at the Kentucky Theater before hiding the dolls along Limestone Ave.
