Foxtrot Farm & Flowers presents…
“Queer Bestiary”
A group exhibition curated by Charlotte Woolf in her third year collaborating with Foxtrot Farm & Flowers for Upstate Art Weekend. Featuring works by Catie Dillon, Evan Paul English, Lydia Goldbeck, Jacq Groves, Sydney Hunter Kleinrock, Charlotte Bravin Lee, Phoebe Rotter, Heather Renée Russ, and Melinda Kiefer Santiago. Inspired by Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature by mycologist Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian (Spiegel & Grau, 2025), the exhibition explores queer ecologies, embodiment, and human–land relationships through painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, and more.
