JESSE WALP THE VERY FOUNDATION This work’s intention is to arouse the feelings of uneasiness and anxiety that uncertain times expose within us by dismantling the very ground we walk on with an unknown force that changes what we thought we could count on. 8 9 One Applause-Circle will be created under the Buffalo historic silo on opening night of PLAY/GROUND. Individuals are welcomed to visit the Applause-Circle and receive a round of applause service facilitated by StarEyes Representative.

10 11 HEATHER LESLIE & XINGHUAI HUANG TRANSCENDENT NATURE Transcendent Nature creates a future to explore where human impact is still prevalent while nature thrives alongside. BETHANY
Creatures constantly work to integrate and infiltrate our own built environments despite our architectural efforts to hold nature at bay.
MIGHTY REAL
Celebrate the legacy of Buffalo native and queer underground dance music pioneer Patrick Cowley in the kind of marginal architectural space queer communities have activated through history.
RYLAND DANDRIDGE INVISIBLE CHURCH
Invisible Church responds to the poem Southern Gothic by Rickey Laurentiis - the liminal rooms his poems worship, dream, and dance within and the weightless atmosphere they create: an infinite Black continuum.

SILOSCOPE
Siloscope is a site responsive installation that transforms a grain silo of Buffalo RiverWorks into a metaphorical telescope/ microscope and viewing portal of an alternate universe.
JODI LYNN MARACLE

TO PASSAGE TO SUSPENSION
Presented by
Festival
This piece of visual poetry invites the viewer to make their own meaning as colorful images and text captivate attention and animate imagination. The trilogy includes: “Scripting” followed by “Passage”, and “Suspension Landscape After the Drought,” it's a gentle and thoughtfully crafted essay on secrets, self, and social censorship.
