Curfew
Rochester Contemporary Art Center
137 East Ave.
Nov 7, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

After sunset is the perfect time to see Curfew, an exhibition featuring work by two keen cultural observers who draw inspiration from the city of Rochester after dark. Moving through neighborhoods, corners, parking lots, bodegas, and empty streets, SALUT (Bradd Young) and Flour Pail Kids (Scar Markham) document the small, strange, beautiful, and sometimes brutal details that often go unseen. Working from lived experience, memory, and imagination, both artists balance observation and exaggeration to share night-time narratives that speak volumes about community, identity, and visibility. The exhibition’s title speaks to both the literal restrictions historically placed on movement in Rochester, and the broader social forces that continue to determine who is allowed to be outside (how and at what time) and who is not.
