Some brightness for you on this cloudy day 🌤
@theurbanconga created a permanent installation in collaboration with the Rochester community. This installation serves an “ever-changing landmark that responds to people, the landscape, and the interactions between them.” It’s located right next to the @museumofplayroc & MLK park!
This piece was inspired by the flowing motion of the Genesee River, and each individual unit acts as a pixel that can be rotated, becoming a message board for #downtownroc ❤️
Swipe to see the installation in action ➡️ Thank you to @theurbanconga for sharing their creativity with our city, & thank you to multiple local organizations that shared their time & efforts to make this happen.
@rufuscocktaillounge opens this Wednesday! 🥂
