✨ SL22B: A Grid-Sized Birthday Worth Exploring
Second Life is turning 22, and the grid is buzzing.
SL22B isn’t just a birthday party—it’s a full-on festival, spread across dozens of regions and filled with art, music, storytelling, and entire worlds you’ll wish you could stay in.
There are hundreds of exhibits—and that’s just the beginning.
Stages, hunts, shopping, DJs, performances… it’s all here. It’s big. It’s joyful. And it only lasts a month.
This post? Just a small peek into the magic unfolding. But it’s a beautiful one—two standout exhibits on SLB Captivate that are absolutely worth the wander.
Some places in Second Life don’t just appear—they call you in.
On the SLB Captivate region, two builds do exactly that. They’re rich, detailed, full of soul—and they won’t be here forever. This post is your invitation to wander through both.
First stop: Tripp Foxtail. Then, a dreamy drift into AmandaT Tamatzui’s colorful world.
There’s just something about maps that’s always called to me. They’re like invitations—to wander, to wonder, to find your way or lose it on purpose.
I’ve never minded which. I just love to travel—across oceans, across sims, across stories. So when someone builds a space dedicated to movement and discovery? You can bet I’m going.
🚉 Tripp Foxtail’s SL22B Exhibit – Traveler’s Station Comes Alive
If you’ve ever visited the year-round Traveler’s Station in SL, you already know: Tripp FoxTail loves exploration. For SL22B, he brings a limited-time interactive version of his hub—and it’s full of clever, inviting details.
What You’ll Find:
🗺️ A massive, walk-on interactive travel map
🎠 Animated miniatures showcasing scenes from SL travel
💬 Info boards and fun facts about exploring SL by land, sea, and air
Each level of the build invites you to pause, poke around, and feel inspired to set out on your next SL journey.
✨ “Stay curious,” Tripp says—and this build makes it effortless.

🎨 AmandaT Tamatzui’s SL22B Exhibit – Magical Realms & Memory
Just a short walk from Tripp’s build, artist AmandaT Tamatzui brings her vivid, cross-cultural imagination into full bloom. Her SL22B installation is a layered mix of real-life memories, creative storytelling, and colorful world-building.
What You’ll Discover:
🌄 Land of the Sleeping Giants – a dreamy space of rolling hills, resting giants, and gentle wonder
🪐 Planet Tambalya – a sci-fi-inspired realm, home of the Tambalyans, where creativity rules
🎨 RL-inspired pieces like:
• “Capital Gain” – born from the chaos of Auckland construction
• “Bali Adventure” – a heartfelt tribute to a place close to her soul
Oh—and don’t miss the gift Amanda’s tucked into her Shop & Hop Gallery. It’s a sweet little bonus for explorers.
Amanda’s art spans four continents, bridging real-world emotion and virtual expression with grace and power. In SL, she continues to build worlds that spark imagination and connection.
