Curated by Jacob Vogan (BA ’19)

Presented and produced by UB Arts Collaboratory

UB Center for the Arts Atrium

Fall 2020 – Spring 2021

With Depression-era photographer Walker Evans in mind, Jacob Vogan (BA ‘19) organizes a living installation that presents a portrait of a community as a way to tangibly realize how art can positively bring about change. Building on the long history of creative experimentation in Buffalo, Vogan hopes to create a tribute to the many artists that have been working over the past months in this city, as well as create a visual framework to generate dialogue between disparate creative communities. This installation is an ongoing invitation to collaborate, and will evolve with time as more of the Buffalo community is documented.
