It has several caves such as Tham Pratham, Tham Phra Chao Suea, Tham Phra
Phuttha Saiyat, and Tham Duke. The pair of [[ordination hall]]s on the west side
of the mountaintop have a leaning [[stupa|pagoda]] in the middle. According to
legend, a rich man with two wives donated money to renovate the temple and build
a pagoda in which his ashes were enshrined after he died. Later, the two wives
argued over who he had loved more. They built a pair of ordination halls next to
the pagoda and prayed that if the pagoda would lean towards the hall of the wife
he loved more. The pagoda leans towards the eastern ordination hall, which was

'''Wu Tsang''' (born 1982 in [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]],
Massachusetts) is a filmmaker, artist and performer based in New York and
Berlin, whose work is concerned with hidden histories, marginalized narratives,
and the act of performing itself.<ref name=":0" /> In 2018, Tsang received a
[[MacArthur Fellows Program|MacArthur "genius" grant]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite

Wu Tsang (born 1982 in [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]], Massachusetts) is
a filmmaker, artist, and performer based in New York and Berlin whose work
explores hidden histories, marginalized narratives, and the politics of
visibility.<ref name=":0" /> Tsang’s practice spans film, performance, and
installation, often centering queer and trans communities, immigrant
experiences, and the social conditions that shape public and private space.
Their work frequently engages with the body as a site of transformation, using
performance theory and trans embodiment to question how identities are
constructed, perceived, and regulated.<ref>Halberstam, Jack (2018). ''Trans: A
Quick and Quirky Account of Gender Variability''. University of California
Press.</ref><ref>Nyong’o, Tavia (2013). “The Scene of the Unscene.” ''TDR: The
Drama Review'', 57(1), 77–87.</ref>
Tsang is known for blending documentary and fiction, creating hybrid forms that
foreground collaboration and collective authorship. Their early involvement in
Los Angeles queer nightlife and community organizing—particularly at the Silver
Platter, a historic bar for Latinx LGBTQ+ communities—informs much of their
artistic approach. This context shaped works such as Wildness (2012), a film
that examines queer nightlife, immigrant community spaces, and the politics of
belonging through experimental narrative strategies.<ref>Getsy, David (2015).
“Queer Formalism.” ''Art Journal'', 74(4), 54–57.</ref>
⚫
According to Tsang, her films, videos, and performances look to explore the
"in-betweeness" in which people and ideas cannot be discussed in binary
terms.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Take Me Apart: Wu Tsang's Art Questions

Generally, her films form a hybrid of narrative and documentary; they do not
conform fully to one form or the other.<ref name=":1" />
Collaboration is central to Tsang’s practice, especially their long‑standing
partnership with the performer boychild. Together, they have produced
performances and installations for major museums and biennials, using movement,
sound, and light to explore themes of opacity, legibility, and queer‑of‑color
critique.<ref>Chambers-Letson, Joshua (2018). ''After the Party: A Manifesto for
Queer of Color Life''. NYU Press.</ref> Their work often challenges
institutional frameworks by foregrounding embodied knowledge, affective labor,
and the politics of representation.
In 2018, Tsang received a [[MacArthur Fellows Program|MacArthur “genius” grant]]
in recognition of their innovative contributions to contemporary art and
performance.<ref name=":0">{{Cite

Wildness (2012) is a hybrid documentary‑fiction film that chronicles the weekly
party and community clinic Tsang co‑organized at the Silver Platter, a historic
bar in the [[MacArthur Park]] neighborhood of Los Angeles. The bar has long
served as a gathering place for Latinx LGBTQ+ communities, particularly trans
women and undocumented immigrants. The film blends documentary footage with
staged sequences and magical‑realist narration, presenting what Tsang has
described as a “whimsically fictional account” of the events that unfolded at
the Silver Platter.<ref>{{Cite

In interviews, Tsang has emphasized that the film emerged from her involvement
in the bar’s community and her desire to represent the lives of her friends
ethically and collaboratively. She has stated that “the more subjective I could
be in telling my own experience of the situation, the more ethical I could be to
my subjects and collaborators.”<ref>{{Cite

first1=Sam }}</ref> In a 2020 interview with Art Basel, Tsang described
approaching the project “more as an activist than a filmmaker,” explaining that
she “felt there was an important story to tell about the lives of [her] friends
at the bar, many of whom were trans women and undocumented immigrants, often
struggling with overlapping invisibilities, and thriving despite intense
conditions of violence and policing.”<ref>{{cite web |last1=Jeni |first1=Fulton

Scholars in performance studies have highlighted Wildness as a significant
contribution to queer‑of‑color cinema for its exploration of nightlife as a site
of refuge, cultural production, and contested belonging. Writing in TDR, Tavia
Nyong’o argues that the film foregrounds the “scene of the unscene,” drawing
attention to the forms of labor, kinship, and survival that sustain queer
immigrant communities while resisting the pressures of
hypervisibility.<ref>Nyong’o, Tavia (2013). “The Scene of the Unscene.” ''TDR:
The Drama Review'', 57(1), 77–87.</ref> Scholars in GLQ and TSQ have similarly
noted that the film complicates documentary ethics by acknowledging the power
dynamics inherent in representing marginalized communities, particularly when
the filmmaker is also a participant in the space.<ref>{{Cite

The film also engages with questions of collective authorship. Many of the
Silver Platter’s regulars, performers, and staff appear not merely as
documentary subjects but as collaborators whose voices shape the narrative. This
approach aligns with broader debates in queer‑of‑color performance studies about
community accountability, affective labor, and the ethics of visibility. Art
historian David Getsy has described Tsang’s method as a form of “queer
formalism,” in which aesthetic experimentation is inseparable from the social
and political contexts of queer life.<ref>Getsy, David (2015). “Queer
Formalism.” ''Art Journal'', 74(4), 54–57.</ref>
Tsang has described the making of Wildness as a formative learning process in
which she taught herself to “write, direct, and edit.”<ref>{{Cite

The [[outlaw]] [[L. H. Musgrove]] traveled on the Cherokee Trail from Colorado
into Wyoming during the 1860s. A native of [[Mississippi]], he came to
California at the time of the Gold Rush. Apparently deciding that crime was more
profitable than panning for gold, he was arrested and charged with murder in
[[Fort Halleck (Wyoming)|Fort Halleck]], Wyoming, during 1863. Taken to Denver
for trial, he was released on an unexplained technicality, and returned to a
life of crime. Musgrove assembled a network of horse thieves known as the
Musgrove Gang, who raided government posts and wagon trains along the Colorado
Front Range, following the Cherokee Trail. Musgrove was finally captured and
taken to jail in Denver. He started a rumor from his cell that friends were
planning to help him escape, and that the citizens could not prevent this.
Instead, a group of vigilantes demanded that the guards release Musgrove to
them. The guards offered no resistance, so the vigilantes took possession of the
prisoner. Quickly they moved him to the Larimer Street bridge and ended his
criminal career by [[Lynching|hanging]] him beneath the bridge on November 23,
1868.<ref>[http://www.over-land.com/musgrove.html "The Musgrove Gang." Overland
