School 12 and James PB Duffy

On the Rochester school district’s consideration of changing the name of James PB Duffy School 12 to one honoring Frederick Douglass and his wife Anna: What does a

long-dead white lawyer, one of great moral rectitude and with a lifetime of involvement in the betterment of his community, have to do with a struggling African-American child in Rochester’s School Number 12 today?

What of a grandson of Irish immigrants, whose father hit the big time and was one of Rochester’s wealthiest residents in the late 19th century? One who grew up with his twin sister and seven other siblings (and with servants) in a Lake Avenue mansion in Rochester’s other prestige district and then crewed at Georgetown University and later Harvard, where he earned that law degree in 1904?

What has he to do with Trevyan Rowe, the autistic teen who walked away from School 12 in March and was later found dead in the Genesee River?

Can it be remembered that the white lawyer served on the Rochester school board for 27 years (1905-1932) or that as a New Deal Democrat, his election each term was never a sure thing, but that he was widely respected by his Republican colleagues on the board?

Or that the life’s efforts of this devoutly Catholic bachelor,

described at his death at age 90 as “gracious, witty, gentle, generous, and compassionate,” seemed to be towards making his city a better place for those with whom he shared it, serving as founder and for 52 years director of Family Services of Rochester, 52 years a trustee of the Chamber of Commerce, 34 years a counsel to the local Red Cross, 42 years a trustee of the Community Chest, 34 years a Commissioner of the Rochester Museum, 34 years a trustee of Rochester Savings Bank, 32 years a director and one year president of the local Automobile Club, 52 years a trustee of St. Patrick’s Church, and three years a functionary of the United Service Organization (thanks to Wikipedia for this).

City reports that after a sustained effort, it is likely that James Patrick Bernard Duffy’s name will be dropped from School 12 and replaced with that of Rochester’s much more famous resident, abolitionist Frederick Douglass (perhaps along with his patient and long-suffering wife, Anna Murray Douglass).

I am not so naïve as to not understand that this train has left the station and that a change of name is probably a done deal that will be almost universally celebrated (or ignored, as the case may be). Such are the times we live in and the hoped-for solutions to issues that concern us most: providing role models, incentivizing underperforming students, salving a wound.

My guess, however, is that in first naming School 12 after James P.B. Duffy, the intention was to honor one whose legacy was strongly related to the city’s schools, (one who sat and listened and debated in school board president Van White’s very chambers) and one who more broadly contributed to all of community life here.

Can he have a plaque there?

The three other candidates should have grouped together and chosen one to run. Morelle didn’t perform in the debates.

Reviewing the Jazz Fest

I wish there had been a more exciting option, but I’ll vote for him in November (as the only acceptable candidate). This seat can’t be lost to the Republicans.

I find it astonishing that City did not review the Christian Sands Trio in Montage June 24. As Ron notes in his review of Sands at Hatch, this is a young pianist with “incredible pyrotechnics and a great musical imagination.”

All of that was on display in the trio and much more.

The trio includes Jonathan Barber, a 28-year-old drum phenomenon who became the regular drummer for Jeremy Pelt at age 22 and for the last half year has been working with Sands as if they were soulmates. He is arguably the best up-and-coming jazz drummer in the world today, while Sands is surely the best up-and-coming pianist. There they were on the same stage, setting the place on fire.

My guess is that if a poll were conducted among the sold-out crowds at the two sets at Montage, there would be overwhelming sentiment (perhaps 90 percent) for the statement that the Sands shows at Montage will represent their highlight for this year’s festival by a very wide margin.

And yet City did not even bother to send a reviewer.

I know City can’t cover everything; my complaint is with its egregious process of selecting what it will review.

Why tell your readers about an assortment of scrub acts and leave out the most important ones? There is simply not enough care or intelligence being given to preparing the schedule. Surely the three City reviewers can do better.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Conservatives’ takeover is complete. Who cares?

For many of us, the past week has been terrible, with one awful bit of Supreme Court news followed by another followed by Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement announcement.

Kennedy has been a crucial swing vote, a conservative who sometimes sided with the court’s liberal justices. He did that 51 times, according to the New York Times, and he provided the deciding vote endorsing same-sex marriage, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, and upholding Roe v. Wade.

But Kennedy also cast some exceptionally destructive votes, joining the majority in the case that handed the presidency to George Bush, in the pro-gun-rights case District of Columbia V. Heller, and in Shelby County v.

Holder, which has led to more restrictions on voting rights.

Kennedy wrote the majority opinion in Citizens United, which further widened the doors to excessive campaign contributions.

And he was no help in the term that just ended. He was in the conservative majority on key cases involving labor union fees, the Trump travel ban, and Ohio’s practice of removing people from voter rolls.

Now President Trump will nominate Kennedy’s successor. The Republicans in the Senate will control the outcome of the confirmation vote. And we know what to expect from each.

Trump and Republicans in the Senate (with very few exceptions) are not interested in protecting women’s reproductive rights.

They’re won’t protect the separation of church and state. They’ve been perfectly willing to erode LGBTQ rights and the rights of people of color. So have the four remaining conservatives on the Supreme Court. And after the president nominates and the Republican Senate confirms a new justice, Roe v. Wade and numerous other important decisions will be jeopardy.

This, of course, is what the 2016 presidential election was about, in large part.

And this is what the 2018 midterm elections – in very large part – are about. I wonder, though, how many people care.

In last week’s local Democratic Congressional primary – for the highprofile seat formerly occupied by the late Louise Slaughter – just under 20 percent of registered Democrats in Slaughter’s district turned out to vote.

Twenty percent.

Slaughter’s death was major news for days. Four people got enough signatures on petitions to run for the Democratic Party nomination to succeed her. The Republican Party has nominated a strong candidate. All of that was widely covered by local news

The Supreme Court’s attack on civil rights continues. And in elections this year, voters are giving politics a big yawn. media. There were two televised debates among the Democrats.

Meantime, the Trump presidency and the actions of the institutions that can serve as the counter-weights to a strong president – the Supreme Court, the Senate, and the House of Representatives – have also been receiving day-to-day coverage.

And in Monroe County, New York, in a primary to choose a candidate for a crucial House seat, just under 20 percent of eligible voters cared enough to vote. Voter turnout this year hasn’t been much better in most other parts of the country.

During the campaign, Democratic candidate Rachel Barnhart sent daily reports to the people on her email list, talking about voters she had met as she campaigned door to door. In one of her last emails before the election, Barnhart said she had met people “who didn’t even know there was a primary.”

Didn’t even know there was a primary?

What planet in the universe could those people have been living on?

After Barack Obama’s election and reelection, I was hopeful. If the country could embrace a moderately progressive African American as its president, we were on the right path.

But that was then. And now, the news about the Supreme Court this past week has left me with questions: What is the sentiment of this country? Does Donald Trump reflect it? Does the conservative majority on the current Supreme Court reflect it?

How on earth would we know? If voter turnout is any indication, most Americans don’t care about this stuff.

Happy Fourth of July. rochestercitynewspaper.com

DEVELOPMENT | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

More housing proposed for Inner Loop Mayor Lovely Warren has chosen two more developers for the land created by filling in the east side of the Inner Loop downtown.

For the highly visible site between East Avenue and Broad Street, she is recommending a unique, mixed-use development

by Home Leasing: 66 one and two-bedroom apartments, a pharmacy for Trillium Health, and commercial space.

In the residential portion, 26 of the 66 units will be rental apartments for residents with incomes of less than 60 percent of the area’s median family income. Twenty more will be for people with incomes less than 130 percent of the area’s median family income. The other 20 units will be used for supportive housing for formerly homeless Trillium Health clients.

Tenants of all of the units will have access to amenities that encourage healthy lifestyles, the city’s press release says, including bike storage.

The Trillium pharmacy will provide home delivery for the nearby area.

For a triangular infill site on Howell Street, Warren is recommending a $30.5 million development by Tom Ferrara and Doug Jerrum, principals of

158 Monroe Avenue. They plan a mixed-use project of 101 apartments and three commercial spaces for retail and restaurants.

Twenty of the apartments would be designated for residents with earnings of about $31,000, which officials say is the city’s median income.

The sale of both sites has to be approved by City Council. Legislation will be submitted to Council later this year, the city says.

This will be Home Leasing’s second project on the Inner Loop fill-in. Last Thursday, the company celebrated the groundbreaking for its “Charlotte Square on the Loop” development, an affordable housing complex at the northern end of the fill-in. The new project is adjacent to Home Leasing’s Charlotte Square complex of market-rate condominiums and apartments on Charlotte Street.

Also under way on the Inner Loop fill-in: mixeduse development by Morgan/Christa, between East Avenue and Charlotte Street, and, east of the Strong museum, an expansion of the museum plus a hotel and apartments, created by a partnership of the Strong, Konar Development, and Indus Hospitality.

News IMMIGRATION | BY JAKE CLAPP

Rochester responds to Trump immigration moves

Hundreds of people gathered in Washington Square Park on Saturday for the Families Belong Together rally. PHOTO BY JAKE CLAPP

Hundreds of people found shade wherever they could in Washington Square Park for Saturday’s Families Belong Together rally.

The protest, co-hosted by 20 local organizations, was a response to the Trump administration’s zerotolerance immigration policy – especially the practice of separating parents and children at the US border – and a call for solidarity with refugees and immigrants.

The rally came after several major actions by the federal government in June, which have dramatically increased an already high anxiety level over immigrant and refugee rights. While on paper the Trump administration’s practice of separating families at the southern border has ended, more than 2,000 children haven’t yet been reunited with their parents.

And last week the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s travel ban, which targets several predominately Muslim countries.

The ruling has some in the region’s

Muslim community concerned that they won’t be able to reunite with their own families seeking refuge in the United States, says Tabassam Javed, president of the Islamic Center of Rochester.

Saturday’s Washington Square Park rally was part of a national day of action organized by Families Belong Together (Familias Unidas, No Divididas), a group that began holding events and rallies around the country in early June. Some 750 protests took place, bringing out hundreds of thousands of protesters calling for the reunification of families separated at the southern border.

Despite the day’s heat, hundreds of Rochesterians turned out to hear speakers who included farmworkers, local immigrantrights advocates, and members of religious organizations.

“We’re in a political moment where people’s rights to family continues on page 8

Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle won the 25th Congressional District Democratic primary, but just under 20 percent of registered Democrats in the county showed up to vote. And the Republican candidate, Jim Maxwell, a neurosurgeon from East Rochester, is already ramping up his campaign.

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Joe Morelle has a fight ahead of him New York’s 25th Congressional District is all the way across the state from its 14th District. And the results from primaries in the two races are like night and day.

The 14th fits into the tidy national narrative that’s been woven by the big papers and cable news stations. Powerful Democratic House member Joseph Crowley got taken down by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old activist and former Bernie Sanders organizer whose campaign was powered by a coalition of progressive activists. Ocasio-Cortez’s victory is part of the party’s post HillaryBernie reckoning: a generation of energetic leaders rising from the grassroots to tear down the old guard, the story goes.

This was not to be in Monroe County.

Joe Morelle, the State Assembly’s secondin-command and the former chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee, scored a decisive victory against three challengers: former journalist Rachel Barnhart, Rochester City Council Vice President Adam McFadden, and Brighton Town Board member Robin Wilt.

Morelle most likely benefited from his extensive campaign operation, which he’s built up over his 30 years in politics. He won every town and every city legislative

district except two, both of which McFadden carried.

The overall turnout numbers, however, are problematic and could indicate some level of apathy or dissatisfaction with the candidates, or even a lack of awareness about the election.

Just under 20 percent of the district’s registered Democrats voted.

There’s no direct comparison for a midterm Democratic primary in the 25th Congressional District’s current form, since the late Louise Slaughter didn’t have a Democratic challenger in recent years. But the past two Rochester mayoral elections have seen Democratic primaries, so they provide a point of reference. Citywide turnout in last week’s Congressional primary was 19.3 percent, far lower than the 30.8 percent turnout in the 2017 mayoral primary and the 41.7 percent turnout in the divisive 2013 mayoral primary.

Within 12 hours of the primary’s end, Republican candidate Jim Maxwell, a neurosurgeon from East Rochester, held a press conference to sketch out his platform. He also drew sharp distinctions between himself and Morelle, whom he called “a career politician steeped in the

Republican Jim Maxwell, left, and Democrat Joe Morelle will square off in November for the House seat formerly held by Louise Slaughter. FILE PHOTOS

ways of corruption and gridlock.”

Using one-liners like “Nobody ever called my operating room a swamp,” Maxwell cast himself as a fresh face with no political baggage, and as a centrist.

He criticized extreme partisanship and stressed the need for civility, compassion, and compromise. And he laid out what is more of a campaign framework than firm positions on issues: he wants taxes cut and spending controlled, he wants a “patientcentered” health-care system with a focus on cost-cutting, and he backs President Donald Trump’s authority to implement a

travel ban, though he said people shouldn’t be targeted on the basis of religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

“I am new at this,” he said, “and that’s a good thing.”

Some of Morelle’s primary opponents tried a similar approach, and voters looked past their “outsider” positioning. But a general election is a different dynamic, and the broader base of voters in that district may see things differently.

This is where you’ll want to live.

PRESERVATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Saving the saints

Preservationists hope to protect a city landmark Tucked away in the upper frame of some of the windows at the Episcopal Church of St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene are old, worn blinds. They’re hard to see, because the balcony drops down slightly over the windows, but they’re what remain of coverings drawn during the blackouts of WWII. The church, with its hidden blinds, secret doors, and faux finishes, is as rich in oddities as it is in history.

Located on South Fitzhugh Street downtown, it’s a Gothic Revival structure built in 1824 to serve the small Episcopalian congregation of St. Luke. It was co-founded

by Nathaniel Rochester, and it’s registered as a city, state, and national historic landmark.

It’s the city’s oldest building still in use, says Cynthia Howk, architectural research coordinator for the Landmark Society of Western New York.

“When that building was constructed, this was Rochesterville,” Howk says. “It was probably the most important house of worship in this area at the time.”

But Two Saints, as it’s often called today, is in trouble and is showing signs of significant deterioration. The building needs roughly $250,000 in repairs, with somewhere between $75,000 and $100,000 needed soon just to replace the roof, Larry Steffler says. Steffler formed Friends of Historic Two Saints, a non-profit that he hopes will be able to raise enough money to prevent the building from falling into further disrepair and begin a long road to restoration.

“The roof is a priority,” Steffler says. “We need to seal the outside envelope of the building and stop the leaks.”

There’s every reason to preserve this architectural gem, Howk says. St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene is not like some of the grander churches in the city. As you approach St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene, its simple stone steps rise from the sidewalk on a site that’s oddly tranquil despite its center city location.

The building looks as if it could have been plucked from somewhere in the British Isles.

Much of the main building was constructed from gray limestone, with red Medina sandstone for the quoins – the large corner stones of the building.

The stone, however, is spalling, a kind of cracking and flaking that allows moisture to penetrate the stone and worsen with time. The building was expanded in the late 1820’s, and in the mid-1800’s the original bell tower was raised up and rebuilt to form a gabled belfry.

Larry Steffler is heading fund-raising efforts to restore and preserve Two Saints.

Once inside, the building’s pointed windows, a hallmark of Gothic Revival architecture, line the length of both sides of the church in a brilliant display of color.

The windows are made of stained glass using a hand-painted technique that was common in the US at that time, says Howk.

“But it’s not the stained glass we think of today,” she says.

More than 15,000 diamond-shaped pieces of glass were painted and fired in a kiln multiple times, says the Rev. Keith Patterson, rector for St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene. The result gave the clear glass of the windows a

grainy, grayish appearance and intensified the colored glass with a smokier look. The windows are bordered in repetitive medieval patterns of grape leaves, lilies, and oak leaves.

The Gothic Revival design is also seen in the tracery plaster above the cross, triple-tiered pulpit, and wood canopy, says Patterson. Much of the wood was burnished and faux painted so that its grain looked uniform even though different types of wood were used at the time, he says.

St. Luke’s first organ was installed in 1832, and the church was the first in the city to have one.

But the historical significance of St. Luke isn’t limited to its architecture and design.

Though many African Americans were Episcopalian at the time, houses of worship were segregated. St. Luke was built for a white congregation. St. Simon Cyrene, on Oregon Street, was founded roughly 100 years later, and most of its congregation was African-American.

The churches served followers who shared the same city, but not the same prayer space.

That changed in 1988, when the congregations of the two churches merged. A chapel located in Tyler Hall, an addition to the original building, houses artifacts from St. Simon Cyrene, including stained glass windows. One, with an image of a white Jesus, is believed to be a Tiffany. Patterson is trying to get it authenticated.

St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene looks as if it could have been plucked from somewhere in the British Isles. PHOTO BY JACOB WALSH

The chapel also houses a columbarium, where the ashes of some of St. Simon Cyrene’s former parishioners are held. In front of the columbarium are two handmade kneeling pillows, with designs commemorating the merger: one depicts the two churches while the other shows a cross held up by two people, one black and the other white.

St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene looks deceptively small from the street, but its rambling addition has spacious rooms on multiple floors that are essentially vacant except for a few offices for church staff.

“We’ve got to find a way to make better use of this space,” says Friends of Two Saints’ Steffler. The space is available for events, such as wedding receptions, but he speculates that at least some of it could be rented to other organizations to help raise money to pay for the restoration costs.

But Two Saints has the same struggle many other churches have. An April 2017 article in The Atlantic noted that “Americans – long noted for their piety – were fleeing organized religion in increasing numbers.”

And a 2017 Baltimore Sun article on church closures and mergers says: “Membership at churches and synagogues has fallen by nearly 20 percentage points since World War II, according to Gallup.

The Episcopal Church and Presbyterian Church USA have lost nearly half their members since 1967.”

Locally, the Rochester Catholic Diocese downsized during the last 20 years, closing some of its churches and schools.

It’s not lost on Patterson that the culture war of the 1990’s and 2000’s wasn’t good for business.

“We have about 100 or so people walk through those doors on Sunday,” he says, “and I want them to know that they will be greeted, that all are welcome, no exceptions.”

Further complicating matters, funds for restoring houses of worship are anything but abundant. Steffler is trying to show that Friends of Two Saints has a track record of raising money on its own and is a credible candidate for grants, he says.

The church has taken a small but rather unusual step for churches today to help raise its profile: the doors to St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene are literally wide open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to noon so that anyone can look inside the church, come in, and spend a few moments there. Most churches lock their doors after services are over.

But Patterson says he wants the public to see what they have in St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene.

“This is truly a treasure that needs to be preserved,” he says. “It would say something about our community if we didn’t.”

Immigration continues from page 4

and community are being systematically attacked by our immigration system,” said Sara Curtis, who works with the Worker Justice Center of New York, the Rochester Rapid Response Network, and Alianza Agricola, an immigrant farmworkers group. “Immigration and Customs Enforcement partners with Border Patrol and local law enforcement to separate families every day, across our country, from the southern border to our own local region.”

The crowd was packed with signs calling for the abolition of ICE, rallying people against creeping fascism, and asking “Where are the babies?” Several participating organizations set up tables to pass out information about their work, and volunteers were registering people to vote. Many protestors wore shirts with hand-painted “I really do care. Do u?” lettering, a riff on Melania Trump’s jacket.

Speakers talked about the need to fix the US immigration system, the importance of voting in the upcoming midterm election, and how to support impacted communities in Rochester.

The zero-tolerance policy “only serves to make crueler the suffering of those who seek hope, despite so much violence and a lack of justice in our countries of origin,” said Hormis Bedolla, a farmworker, through an interpreter. Bedolla said her husband was detained by ICE after 8 CITY

getting their two youngest children onto a school bus. He spent five months in jail and is now facing a deportation order, which would send him to Mexico, the country he left 30 years ago.

“Just like my husband, our family feels incarcerated by the separation we all endure,” Bedolla said. “How do you explain to your kids that their father did nothing wrong, but he’s in jail?”

Several signs also showed support for refugees in reaction to the Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 split upholding the Trump administration’s travel ban.

There are around 25,000 Muslims in the Greater Rochester Area. In an interview last week, Tabassam Javed, said that many in the Islamic Center’s congregation are angry over the decision, but they aren’t afraid because they know their rights. Still, he said, there is concern over families being reunited, especially in the refugee community.

Many in the congregation are from countries listed on the travel ban, he said, and they’re now worried about other family members who have applied for entry into the country.

“The promise of America has always been family unification,” Javed said.

“Right after World War II onwards, the waves of immigrants who came and contributed always were able to bring their family.”

If you’re new to Indian food, descriptions of the various options — bowls, rolls, or Naan-tacos ($7.99-$8.99) — and the traditional spices used in Indian cooking (saffron, garam masala, ginger, cardamom and coriander) helpfully adorn the walls.

Located near Marketplace Mall, the space boasts both indoor and outdoor seating for about 80 to 100 people. Inside, the colorfully painted walls are punctuated by wood paneling and tables, and black pipe light fixtures. It offers a comfortable, fun, and trendy vibe for anyone looking to get a quick meal — whether you eat in or take it to go.

When you step up to the counter, the helpful staff will guide you through your choice of meat, rice, veggies and sauces made

with traditional, warming Indian spices that taste like they have been simmering for days to develop such a rich flavor.

My bowl, which I packed with bright yellow jasmine rice, tender chicken tikka and thick Slammin’ Masala sauce, was delightfully warming (even if it was 85 degrees outside). It’s the kind of spice so synonymous with Indian cooking — not necessary burn-your-taste buds-off spicy, but rather the kind of spice that tickles your taste buds and warms you from the inside out. The masala sauce is rich and bold in flavor. Garam masala takes the lead here, but other spices, like turmeric and ginger, join in harmoniously in the dance as if it were choreographed by a master. The corn, cucumber, and tomatoes I opted to put on top added a needed freshness for my palate to balance the spices in the dish.

Another refreshing oasis to the meal came at the recommendation of the staff: a mango lassi ($3.49). The thick drink is somewhere between a milkshake and a smoothie, and combines mangos, milk, yogurt, and cardamom into a velvety smooth texture that goes down oh-so-easily.

I also ordered a Naan-taco, which was overstuffed with Chana Masala (mildly spiced garbanzo beans), jasmine rice, grilled peppers and onions, and their Makhani sauce, named for Ajay and Aman’s father, Makhan Singh. It was a messy, two-handed operation, but worth it for the sweet and slightly spicy tomato Makhani sauce.

Not only did Ajay and Aman name a sauce after their father, but nearly all of the recipes are inspired by those of their father, who spent a lifetime perfecting the intricate flavors in each dish. They hope by honoring tradition, and adding convenience, they will help a new audience fall in love with the food they grew up eating.

PAINTING for the PEOPLE Richmond Futch Jr. embraces humanity through art [ PROFILE ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

Richmond Futch Jr. recently created a set of literary murals on the façade of the Arnett Branch Library.

10 CITY JULY 4 - 10, 2018

Rochester loves its murals. Art adorns walls all over the city, from the sprawling, eccentric images created by WALL\THERAPY’s annual roster of visiting and local artists to Shawn Dunwoody’s inspirational community projects in the Fruit Belt and JOSANA neighborhoods.

There’s something seemingly simple about putting paint on a wall, and yet it has the power to transform a place — not just the way it looks, but how we feel about it. And a new, literary-focused mural installation that has sprung up in the 19th Ward, is the latest community-oriented work by artist and homeless advocate Richmond Futch Jr. As you head down Arnett Boulevard, vibrant colors pop from the surface of the tall, narrow panels that form the façade of the Arnett Branch Library. Images of book spines depicting illustrations of influential works of literature for children and adults alike, as well as biographies on local historical titans Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, wrap around each of the corners at the front of the building. Cultural touchstones abound, including such titles as Ezra Jack Keats’s “The Snowy Day,” Roald Dahl’s “James and the Giant Peach,” C. S. Lewis’s “The Chronicles of Narnia,” Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” and Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”

The building’s transformation has been powerful. The once nondescript and barren outside walls of the library now welcome passersby to activate their imaginations and intellectual curiosity, and join the lively community within.

Futch was commissioned to complete the project by patrons from various community organizations. The artist has had a long relationship with the branch — multiple murals by Futch already grace the inside of the building. These include the sheening, yellowgold map of literary locales titled “Destinations” and the depictions of lush vegetation and vines that hang on the walls of the children’s section of the library. Futch donated these works, with the library helping to supply materials.

So when Arnett Branch Library patron Karen D’Agostino approached the branch about commissioning an artist to create art for the library in dedication to her late mother Violet Keating, the choice was clear. Futch was engaged to paint what would become the first eight panels of the mural, and a public dedication took place in October 2017.

Support for the project grew —among the Friends & Foundation of the Rochester Public Library as well as groups such as Rochester Pedal Tours and His Branches ministry — and additional works were commissioned, culminating in a total of 22 panels. The mural was completed in late June of this year, with a reception celebrating the achievement held on June 28.

Arnett Branch Supervisor and Children’s Librarian Bruce Tehan has noticed the impact the art has already had: “It brings beauty to our wonderful neighborhood,” he says. “It sparks interest in books and reading, and it draws attention to our library and all the important things the library has to offer. For instance, I overheard one lady talking on her phone arranging for a relative to pick her up from the library. As she was describing the Arnett Branch Library’s location, she said something like, ‘You can’t miss it. It has big beautiful books on it!’”

Tehan also notes that the mural invokes fond memories of beloved books that library visitors have enjoyed since childhood. As the mural expanded, some patrons enjoyed venturing guesses as to which book titles would appear next.

These responses seem fitting for longtime Rochesterian Futch, a soft-spoken and passionate artist originally from Sanford, Florida who loves telling stories, but prefers to let his work do the talking.

“I think art also crosses all boundaries and stirs up your past, your history, your thoughts, images,” Futch says. “It evokes something, especially when you see it in a large scale and it’s always there. Then you can go back and watch it, and walk by it, and it evokes memories. That’s why art is a powerful tool, image, vision.”

And though the vision for the mural belongs to Futch, it was far from a solo project.

He enlisted fellow artist Chloe Smith, who he met while sharing a studio space, to help realize the work. Smith’s skill at detailed, character-driven portraiture, showcased here in her depiction of a stoic yet resolute Frederick Douglass, proved invaluable.

“She has a very unique style,” Futch says of Smith. “I love her work, and I wanted her to get in there and balance it out for me.”

Smith sees her involvement as a way to enrich her community. “I think when you go to a very beautiful place with a lot of art and architecture and stuff, you just feel like you want to be there,” she says. “I would love to have that impact on Rochester and make it more of a beautiful place to be.”

Futch and Smith were also aided by Ebony Singleton, a student at Edison Career and Technology High School and an aspiring artist, who met Futch through her grandfather, Bishop David J. Singleton.

“The most eye-opening aspect for me is that anybody can do anything they love and keep pushing and make it a career if that’s how far they want to take it,” Ebony Singleton says. “Now I work with a real artist perspective because of the advice he has given me,” she says of Futch’s mentorship.

As a primarily self-taught artist, Futch began his creative journey in fifth grade here in Rochester, when he would attend weekly art classes at the Memorial Art Gallery.

Now, his community involvement extends beyond the walls of the MAG and the Arnett Branch Library.

A deeply spiritual man, the artist began his Christian ministry “Artistically Revealing the Spirit,” or A.R.T.S., as a means to express his worship of God. Futch has frequently joined musicians onstage at churches and other gatherings, painting

during the “praise and worship” portion of services.

Futch sees art as a prophetic tool, a way of communicating God’s word in order to bring out the best in ourselves, others, and God’s creation as a whole. “I’m showing what the Spirit’s saying artistically, from what I feel in my soul,” he says. “It’s just a visual expression of what the Spirit is saying for me.”

"Tent City" is Futch's painting depicting the much contested homesless encampment along South Avenue. PHOTO PROVIDED

The painter, a member of Bethel Christian Fellowship, started his ministry over a decade ago when a prophet in the Christian community had a word for Futch, repeatedly asking him to create art as part of church worship, for the glory of God. That was the beginning of his focus on service.

Futch says he has always had empathy for the homeless community, and in recent years has converted that concern into meaningful relationships. He has worked as a volunteer at St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality, spending some nights there to manage the building, getting to know the community members, and coming to be known as “The Artist.” He also helps the friends he’s made there to find sustainable employment in the community.

“I need to be in the culture, I need to be a part of the people,” he says.

In 2016 Futch teamed up with artist Debra VanWert-Sneeringer of RocCityART, a company that promotes local artists, to create the Rochester Revelation Art Center as an outreach to the city’s homeless population.

Every Wednesday morning from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Futch hosts a workshop called “Revelation Rochester — Revealing the Artist Within,” at the House of Hospitality. All are invited to come and create, and attendees, called Revelation Artists, receive artistic instruction if they desire it.

Futch sees the workshop as an important way to create a space for peace and tranquility, even if only for the moment, in the lives of homeless people.

“Art for me is a way of telling a story, for me to communicate,” he says. “And I know it transcends relationships. That’s one of the reasons why I use art with the homeless, because I know that art can bring certain things out in a person.”

The workshop is not just about nurturing creativity in others, but about creating authentic relationships with members of a systematically marginalized community. The creative fruits of these connections will be on display at Futch’s Village Gate studio this fall in an exhibition entitled “Making the Invisible, Visible Through Art.” Additional information about the initiative and related projects, as well as images from the forthcoming exhibition, can be found at revelationrochester.com.

The show will feature not only Futch’s own work — which will include a beautiful yet startling, azure landscape painting of the Tent City homeless encampment on South Avenue and insightful, life-affirming portraits of people in the homeless community — but also the artwork of workshop attendees.

“I want the city to know that there’s beauty within this culture, in this community,” Futch says. “Those are people. They’re not just homeless guys and women, those are human beings. They’re people who have challenges in their lives; they’re not just castoffs.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

He harnesses an old school feel with contemporary ambient contributions from the rest of his band. His song “Travelin’ Blues” starts out as a bluesy slow grind before winding down into beautiful chaos and reverb. Gilfillian will smack you coming and going with his searing soul. He proves there is plenty of room for something new.

Sunday, July 8 Third Presbyterian Church Chapel, East Ave. and Meigs St. 1 p.m. | Free | pegasusearlymusic.org/pegasus-rising [ CLASSICAL ] Long before there was a Tin Pan Alley

or a Top 40, there were popular songs. In the Baroque era, they were usually sung with lute, but an alternative accompaniment was the mellow sound of the viola da gamba (the ancestor of the cello). This Sunday afternoon, Pegasus Rising, the young artists’ program of Pegasus Early Music, presents “Voice & Viol: History’s Forgotten Dynamic Duo.” This survey of English and Italian pop hits of the 17th century will be performed by the duo Lyracle, consisting of mezzo-soprano Ashley Mulcahy and viola da gambist James Perretta.

“Don’t Like Most Things” Self-released softopeningroc.bandcamp.com

Upward Groove. Temple Bar & Grille, 109 East Ave. 232-6000. 10 p.m.

On June 22, Rochester musician Justin Pallini — under the moniker Soft Opening — quietly released an endearing summer record that provides a great balance between garage-rock party vibes and introspective singersongwriter opining. The six-song set, “Don’t Like Most Things,” has 90’s nostalgia all over it, from the punky, catchy sludge rock of “I Hate You” to the sparkling, atmospheric guitar churn in “Just Don’t Let Go.” Pallini, who acts as lead singer, guitarist, and coproducer here, did well to recruit some of the city’s best indie rock musicians. The result is a stellar “Who’s Who” backing band: Ben Morey on bass guitar and sharing producing credits; Jesse Amesmith and Trevor Amesmith of Green Dreams and CD-ROM on sax and drums, respectively; and Anamon’s Emily Monaco plays Rhodes piano, and both she and Katie Preston contribute vocals. But it’s the guitar-centric aesthetic of the music — bolstered by axe slingers Mark Cuminale (of the now-defunct Dream Girls) and Howlo’s Justin Pulver — that ultimately sells this thing.

Pallini’s lyrics are beautifully simple and transparent, revealing a sweet vulnerability, particularly in the weird optimism of “Love Dumpster” and the poignant, pop-inflected “Nothing Left to Hide.” The album ends in a bit of a non sequitur — a dark, emo-tinged song listed simply as “ * ” — but the confessional nature of the lyrics is oddly irresistible.

Pallini seems fixated on mortality, but the result is paradoxically life-affirming.

Forevers

“Between The Banners, Beneath the Floors” Dadstache Records dadstacherecords.com

“Between the Banners, Beneath the Floors,” the debut full-length from Rochester band Forevers, opens in a fury of ponderous guitars before settling into a 90’s altrock groove that changes and contorts but nevertheless remains consistent through the album’s 11 songs.

This album could be described as guitar rock, but it’s much more than that. Entwined with distorted guitars is an eclectic choice of instrumentation.

Opening with “Mattress” and “Wait It Out,” which are carefully layered with synth and what sounds like a kid’s toy whistle, and moving into “Simple Machines,” there is a wistful melancholy that gives the songs a playful, childlike quality. Listen carefully and you’ll hear hovering string sections, bongo drums, and even a singing saw.

Beyond the thoughtful orchestration is just plain thoughtful songwriting, flowing between riffs good enough to be choruses and choruses that are catchy enough to be riffs. Frontperson David Baumgartner writes in a way that is relatable and the entire band captures his lyrical mood in a way that is unique to each song. All in all, this is an album filled with songs that are frank and from the heart, exalting even the most mundane moments.

JT Fitzgerald was tired of seeing bands come and go in Rochester. A band would make the scene, make a little noise, and then vanish, never to be heard from again.

“There were a lot of bands we were seeing that would pop up for a few shows and then kinda disappear,” Fitzgerald says. “And we figured someone around here needed to document their existence by putting something out for them. Because it would often be, all they had was just a couple of demos on a Bandcamp page and their name on a couple of flyers.”

14 CITY JULY 4 - 10, 2018

So five years ago, Fitzgerald and his two roommates at RIT, Joe Makowski and AJ Colosimo, got together and started Dadstache Records. They divided up who wanted to do what and how they could all work together to make it happen. First and foremost was the music: What style? What genre?

“At this point, it was just anyone that we thought was talented,” Fitzgerald says. “Our first three releases were quite varied. We put out some indie stuff and some electronic stuff. We put out a folk record — a lot of different stuff.”

Over time, Fitzgerald, who’s been running Dadstache solo since 2015, says that the label has narrowed its collective genre down to be a more rock-specific sound. To date, Dadstache has put out 40 releases, many of those by the best indie rock artists in Rochester. Bands like Total Yuppies, Secret Pizza, Calicoco, Buffalo Sex Change, and Pony Hand all call Dadstache Records home. And along with Fitzgerald, they are celebrating five years of Dadstache Records with a two day party this weekend.

Fitzgerald does all he can, from running the day to day business to strapping on an instrument and playing in the bands. For example, Skirts had so many incarnations that Fitzgerald wound up playing bass on the record.

Dadstache is there to promote the bands, give them a shot — or at least a fighting chance

— because the label’s life is at stake here as well.

It needs the bands as much as the bands need it.

“I think the bands have always sustained us,” Fitzgerald says. “It’s a circular thing. The bands stick around a little longer, get their name out there a little more, go on tour knowing they have a record to tour off of.”

Dadstache is expanding outside the Rochester limits and taking on the world with bands like Italy’s psychedelic garage rockers Cruel Experience. Dadstache did the band’s US release. And the label has broadened its reach extensively to include artists from Texas, Boston, and Brooklyn.

“It’s just all over the place now,” Fitzgerald says. “But the last batch of releases were mostly Rochester bands.”

You might say Dadstache operates in selfinflicted obscurity by releasing most of the recordings on cassette.

“There’s definitely a cassette scene out there,” Fitzgerald says. “I don’t know if it will get to the point that they start making tape decks again. But people didn’t think vinyl would come back as it did.”

Fitzgerald says he has to get people to trust his taste. With independent labels, it’s a curated vision.

“It’s really hard to get people to care about something they’ve never heard before,” he says.

“You have to give them that incentive to care.

They so often don’t.”

METAL | LESSER GLOW

While there’s undeniable sonic weight in Lesser Glow’s formidable brand of sludge metal, what truly sets the Boston band apart is its melodic undercurrent. Its most recent release, this year’s “Ruined” EP, calls to mind Midwest doom-titans Fister and Sea of Bones in its thundering, bass-heavy lurch. But it’s the moments of sung, Pallbearer-esque emotional gravitas that round the whole experience out. They give you just enough time to reflect on the record’s sky-swallowing heaviness before the beatings resume once more.

Culture

The first At the Crossroads Long Table Conversation (pictured) took place in October of 2017. Programing in this series is planned out through this autumn.

Centering on the margins [ UPDATE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Some of Rochester’s most important cultural programming regarding intersectionality and the arts has been initiated and sustained by the At the Crossroads: Activating the Intersection of Art and Justice series.

Presented by 21st Century Arts, nine events have been held over as many months, blending collaborative art performances and installations and Long Table Conversations that aim to forefront the voices of women of color and queer people of color. Not only has the programming made an important grassroots investment in the Rochester community; the community is increasingly investing in the programming.

The series continues this month with two more events, but founder Rachel DeGuzman has planned programming well into the fall, with more ideas that will soon have solidified dates attached to them.

The series kicked off in October 2017 with an all-day Art Power Symposium, a day full of workshops and performances that featured artists Annette Ramos, Henry Avignon, Tokeya Graham, Reenah Golden, Thomas Warfield, and Sean McLeod. This event was followed by the many themed events, each presenting an artistic installation 18 CITY JULY 4 - 10, 2018

or performance, along with short films or recorded speeches relevant to each particular event’s theme.

These elements serve as discussion prompts for the Long Table Conversation, an unrehearsed discussion between a group of people DeGuzman (and sometimes collaborators) have invited to participate in. The audience is allowed to partake but filibustering is not allowed — the point is to actively listen to voices that are typically marginalized.

Past events have included “Black Magic Slays Magical Negro,” a four-day event last February that centered on the power and beauty of women of color; “Anna, The Other Douglass,” which explored the radical, undercelebrated first wife of Frederick Douglass; and “Cage-Free & Non-Conforming,” which was co-presented by Trans Femme poet and visual artist Jahmal B. Golden. Other and events focused on Winnie Mandela (with a reading over Skype of Sarita Covington’s new play “Things Went Horribly Wrong”), Sally Hemings as an historic prompt for the #MeToo discussion (in which a few people at the Long Table talked about their own rapes); Malcolm X’s speech in Rochester; and most recently “This is America,” a pop-up held in response to the 22nd school shooting of 2018.

DeGuzman says that there was some white fragility that reared its head in the last two events, manifesting in defensiveness and some impatience and victim-blaming. In particular, at the Malcolm X event, I witnessed one white man tell the people of color in the room that their problem with the system stemmed from not bothering to take the time to understand it; another white man spent some time broadcasting his allyship when sitting back and listening to others would have been a better way to express that. But DeGuzman says she gives credit to people brave enough to “show up and come to the table.”

Often these events serve as the first glimpse at art, plays, and poetry that are in-progress, or have not been previously shared, and DeGuzman has done an excellent job locating artists who have not necessarily received their due spotlight locally.

Another element that is unique about this particular set of programming is that it’s about more than just getting people from different races and backgrounds in the room together. Humanizing one another as individuals can be an important step, but we have to be willing to examine and dismantle the ingrained, systemic elements that benefit some while they oppress others.

“I have so much more that I want to do, but to a certain degree I think we’ve delivered on what we set out to do,” DeGuzman says. “One of the proudest pieces for me is the group of women that have created new relationships to each other along this kind of work. At the Crossroads has created a space for them to relate to each other in a different way, and it has created a cohort of people who are working on new projects. That was always one of the goals, to create that kind of space.”

The series continues Saturday, July 14, with “Politics of Women’s Health: A Long Table Conversation and Installation.” The event, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., is presented in collaboration with Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York, and hosted at Greater Rochester Area Branch/Association American University Women (494 East Avenue). The program will present an artistic interrogation of current issues and the politics of women’s health. $15; registration at politicsofwomenshealth.bpt.me.

“With Kennedy’s announcement to retire from the Supreme Court, it becomes even more urgent to have this discussion,” DeGuzman says. “It’s not just a matter of abortion rights, which is an important aspect of it, but it’s about reproductive rights in general, and just who gets to have agency at all.”

All following events will take place at Gallery Seventy-Four, 215 Tremont Street.

Next up is “Radical Rosa: A Long Table Conversation and Installation,” on Saturday, July 28, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. $15; register at radicalrose.bpt.me.

On Saturday, September 8, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., 21st Century Arts will co-present “Anti-Muslim racism: A Long Table Discussion and Installation” with Mara Ahmed of Neelum Films. $15; register at antimuslimracism.bpt.me.

And on Sunday, October 7, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., “Black and Disabled: A Long Table Conversation and Installation” will be co-presented with disability activist Luchita Doucette. $15, register at blackanddisabled.bpt.me.

DeGuzman also wants to start a local chapter of Artists Co-creating Real Equity (ACRE) in Rochester, but before she can do that, she says she needs to bring an anti-racism training workshop from People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond (PISAB) to Rochester’s cultural sector. She calls the group “The A-Team of anti-racism training,” and has herself participated in the workshop in New York City. The two-and-a-half day workshop can host 40 people, and costs $15,000 ($375 per participant — DeGuzman envisions institutions that have the means sending their own folks and also helping fund space for those who don’t have resource).

HOLIDAY | JULY 4 CELEBRATIONS If you’re into celebrating this nation’s birth, there’s no shortage of things to do. Here’s just a few options taking place this Wednesday, July 4, but check out our listings online at rochestercitynewspaper.com for more. All events take place on the holiday except where noted.

The City of Rochester’s annual Independence Day bash kicks off at 7:30 p.m. with music by Paul C. Boutte and the Motown Review, followed by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra at 9 p.m., leading up to fireworks over the Genesee River at 10 p.m. Recommended spots to set up your lawn chair or blanket include the Main Street Bridge, Broad Street Bridge, Chestnut Street near the Washington Square Garage, or any street where you have a clear view of the sky. Visit cityofrochester.gov/july4 to learn where you can park for free, what streets will be closed, and other details.

There’s nothing quite like the spectacle of simultaneously viewing the city’s fireworks as well as many of the ‘burbs light shows. The Penthouse at One East Avenue will host “360 Degrees of Fireworks,” on Wednesday night from 8 to 11 p.m. From the rooftop you’ll be able to see just about every display in the county, and enjoy ice cream and adult beverages for purchase. Admission is $5, family friendly.

RSVP at eventbrite.com.

If you’re not a night owl or have tiny tots, a good option is the daytime “A Bang-Up Fourth,” presented by Genesee Country Village & Museum (1410 Flint Hill Road, Mumford) on Wednesday, July 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tradition abounds with marching bands, games, a reading of the Declaration of Independence, and picnic plates for purchase. And at 11 a.m. the museum will hold the swearing-in of nearly 50 new American citizens on the steps of the Town Hall, immediately followed by the 19-century alternative to fireworks: the firing of a 100-pound anvil several hundred feet into the air. $14-$22, kids 3 and younger free. 538-6822; gcv.org.

Maybe the mid-week celebration isn’t going to work for you. Americana Vineyards Winery (4367 East Covert Road) is having a 4th of July Birthday BBQ Bash on Saturday, July 7, from noon to 11 p.m., featuring food, drinks, and music all day, capped by a fireworks finale at 10 p.m. $5, kids under 13 free.

ART BY VICTORIA CONNORS

THROUGH

ART | ‘NATURE AS MUSE’ Rochester-based fiber artist Victoria Connors has since August of 2016 been traveling the country visiting National Parks, documenting breathtaking landscapes through plein air needle felting — think open-air painting, but with colorful masses of wool poked and prodded into a picture.

The resulting soft images contain a striking amount of depth and drama, and showcase the diverse vistas of this massive nation’s parks. Connor’s work will be shown this month at Patricia O’Keefe Ross Art Gallery, alongside work by St. John Fisher students. Connors will donate a percentage of sales to the National Parks Service.

Patricia O’Keefe Ross Art Gallery, Joseph Skalny Welcome Center at St. Johns Fisher College, 3690 East Avenue.

Monday, July 9, through Friday, September 7. A reception will be held Friday, July 13, from 6 to 9 p.m. Free. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 3858190; sjfc.edu. Preview her work at victoriaconnors.com.

2018 Rochester Jewish Film Festival JCC Ames Amzalak Rochester Jewish Film Festival SUNDAY, JULY 8, THROUGH MONDAY, JULY 16 461-2000; RJFF.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Beginning this week, the JCC Ames Amzalak Rochester Jewish Film Festival celebrates its 18th year of shining a spotlight on Jewish

22 CITY JULY 4 - 10, 2018

culture and heritage with film screenings, live performances, visiting directors, and postfilm discussions. Featuring 29 films from 14 countries, the RJFF starts Sunday, July 8, and continues through Monday, July 16.

For a full schedule of films and events, visit rjff.org. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 461-2000 or in person at the JCC. RJFF kicks off with “The Twinning Reaction,” which — like another recently released documentary, “Three Identical Strangers” — focuses on a secret study by psychiatrists Peter Neubauer and Viola Bernard conducted through the 1960s and

70s in which identical twins and triplets were split up and sent off to be raised by separate families. Intended to study the effect of nature vs. nurture, the study was done without the knowledge of the families, who were told that the psychiatrists were simply observing the adopted children’s general development.

The families were never made aware that their children’s sibling’s even existed. Whereas “Strangers” unfurls as a mystery, narrowing its focus to the story of one set of triplets involved in the study, Lori Shinseki’s gripping film is more expansive, interviewing several other subjects and those who helped conduct

the study. The implications of the study and its effects are ripe for exploration, easily supporting two films. Heck, I’d be happy with a third doc on the subject. (Sunday, July 8, 1 p.m., Dryden Theatre) The title tells you exactly what you’re going to get with “Budapest Noir,” a hard-boiled story of political corruption, prostitution, and murder told in the style of a classic film noir. Set in 1930 Hungary, just as the country began to succumb to fascism, the story follows hard-drinking reporter Zsigmond Gordon (Krisztián Kolovratnik) as he investigates the murder of a young woman and stumbles into a case that authorities seem suspiciously uninterested in solving. The film doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to noir storytelling, indulging in every trope the genre has to offer (complete with worldweary voiceover from the film’s protagonist).

But director Éva Gárdos maintains a strong handle on the seedy material, making for an entertaining trip into the narrative’s heart of darkness. (Saturday, July 14, 7:30 p.m., Dryden Theatre) In the intensely moving “The Cakemaker,” German baker Thomas (Tim Kalkhof) embarks on a passionate love affair with Oren (Roy Miller), an Israeli businessman with a wife and child back at home. But when Oren dies in a tragic accident, Thomas travels to Jerusalem to find his deceased lover’s wife, Anat (Sarah Adler), taking a job in the cafe she operates and striking up a personal relationship without revealing his true connection to her husband. Sensitively directed by Ofir Raul Graizer, the film refrains from passing judgment on its characters. While offering a subtle excavation of German-Israeli relations, the story becomes a touching exploration of grief and loneliness (plus plenty of delicious looking baked goods), and the lengths we’ll go to in order to hold on to what we’ve lost. (Sunday, July 15, 9 p.m., Dryden Theatre) Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com for an extended version of this preview, and for additional film coverage.

What Is Art?

As part of the Dark Mofo art festival, Australian performance artist Mike Parr, 73, entered a steel tomb below busy Macquarie Street in Hobart on June 14, where he meditated, drew and read as traffic flowed overhead for 72 hours until his release on June 17. Parr had water but no food, and oxygen was pumped into the box. His performance was promoted as a “response to 20th-century totalitarian violence,” according to The Guardian, but the piece didn’t speak to everyone. “I don’t take anything away from it at all,” said Carolyn Bowerman from Townsville.

“I’m just amazed that someone would put

themselves through this and go to this much effort.” In a previous performance art piece, Parr hacked at a prosthetic arm with an ax before a shocked audience.

Over in Melbourne, Australia, customers of the Prahran neighborhood Woolworths store will have to park somewhere else on July 9, as renowned American photographer Spencer Tunick captures thousands of willing nudes in a group shot on the store’s rooftop parking lot. Reuters reported more than 11,000 people registered to disrobe for Tunick, who has done group nudes in other spots around the world. “It’s well and truly oversubscribed,” said John Lotton, director of the Provocare Festival of the Arts in Melbourne. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 27
