BELONG by Gianna Stewart

BELONG is composed of words deemed unsavory, or “woke” by the current U.S. administration. In 2025, organizations documented the removal of these words from government publications and websites. This triptych by Gianna Stewart incorporates PEN America’s list into the letters BELONG, also a censored word, showing the power of language and the importance of naming to prevent erasure. Here the words are presented openly, in public space, in direct opposition to their removal from public discourse.

Length: 1435 Minutes

Illumina

September 18th at 7:00pm

In this collaboration between MCC's On the Edge Theatre Troupe and RoCo, festivalgoers are invited to become both creators and participants in a shared work of illuminated art. As each person adds light to the installation, their actions merge into a larger, radiant image, revealing the power of collective effort. Set beneath the open sky, the finished piece will reveal a simple, yet resonant idea: change begins with each of us, but shines brightest when we work together.

Length: 60 Minutes
Tickets: Not Required
Venue: Rochester Contemporary Art Center: Side Lawn
