Since beginning in small theaters in 1995, she has charted a course from kinetic stage designs at the National Theatre and the Metropolitan Opera to installations at major institutions including the World Expo, Lincoln Center, and the United Nations headquarters. Her sculptures for Olympic Ceremonies, NFL Super Bowl halftime shows, and stadium tours for Beyoncé, The Weeknd, and U2 frame narratives that feel personal at a monumental scale. Over the past decade, she has adapted her craft to address climate and civilizational crises. Her public installations on endangered species and languages have inspired audiences to reimagine their connections to each other and to the planet. She shapes stories in ways that stay with us and reframe our thinking.</p> <p><a href="https://exhibitions.cooperhewitt.org/dorothy-liebes/?_gl=1%2A1ufroey%2A_ga%2AMTc5MzcxMzQ3MS4xNjc2NjQwMzg3%2A_ga_7YGMX7170C%2AMTY5MDIwNDk5OC42MS4xLjE2OTAyMDUwODYuMC4wLjA.">A Dark, A Light, A Bright: The Designs of Dorothy Liebes</a></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">American textile designer, weaver, and color authority Dorothy Liebes (</span><span data-contrast="none">1897–1972)</span><span data-contrast="none"> had a profound influence across design fields, helping to shape </span><span data-contrast="none">American tastes in areas from interiors and transportation to industrial design, fashion, and film. </span><span data-contrast="none">The “Liebes Look”—which combined vivid color, lush texture, and often a glint of metallic—became inextricably linked with the American modern aesthetic.</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.cooperhewitt.org/channel/give-me-a-sign/">Give Me a Sign: The Language of Symbols</a><br /> <em><br /> Give Me a Sign: The Language of Symbols</em> examines the fascinating histories behind many of the symbols that instruct, protect, entertain, empower, and connect people.
