A man sits in front of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., Sept. 18, 2026 during a protest against US President Donald Trump's threats to demolish the landmark cultural arts institution. Trump has repeatedly tried to take control and install his personal branding on the Kennedy Center, but faced repeated push back from courts, artists and the public. The protest, organized by Hands of the Arts, comprised of artists and former workers at the Kennedy Center, called for a human chain around the building.
