Kailah Ware, who graduated from Wright State with a bachelor’s degree in motion pictures, created \u201cOne Degree of Separation,\u201d a mix-media art installation celebrating Cincinnati. (Photos by Will Jones \/ video by Kris Sproles)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Tri-State has never felt smaller than in an easily passed corner of the Cincinnati\/Northern Kentucky International Airport.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of people pass by it,\u00a0near gate B13,\u00a0every day. At a time many feel divided by race, sexual orientation, religion, class and politics, Kailah Ware hopes her art reminds them we have more in common than separates us.<\/p>\n

“I was like, ‘I want to just know more about the people in my city,'” Ware said.<\/p>\n

Called “One Degree of Separation,” her mixed-media installation seeks to answer the question “What do you love about Cincinnati?” The idea grew from a class the West End native took at Wright State University, and was made possible thanks to a $10,000 grant from People\u2019s Liberty.<\/p>\n

“One Degree of Separation” has video screens set in a mural featuring Cincinnati landmarks. To watch, viewers put on headphones and touch a screen to hear someone’s 45- to 60-second story. \u00a0There are more than 150 love letters to the Queen City, encompassing people from many of Cincinnati’s 52 neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Ware’s installation also has a studio where participants can share their own stories. Her point is simple: No matter the challenges we face, we have a shared history here.<\/p>\n

“It’s been just an enriching experience, and I’m just so thankful to the people who have stopped and participated in giving a little of themselves to me,” she said.<\/p>\n

“One Degree of Separation” first went on display at Rhinegeist Brewery in Over-the-Rhine. It’s been at CVG since June and will remain there through the end of February. Ware hopes to take it somewhere new afterward. Her ultimate goal, she said, is to have a permanent exhibit at airports across the region, celebrating each city.<\/p>\n
