The Automobile: Design Considerations and Local Manifestations Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"The Automobile" provides a sampling of the ways in which the automobile evolved in the Syracuse area and a glimpse into the innovations of some of the most significant mid-20th-century automobile designers. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the air-cooled Franklin car, the most famous of Syracuse's automobile lines, with its remarkably flexible and durable wooden frame. The exhibition will also include drawings, sketches, and photographs from SCRC's industrial design collections by designers Howard A. Darrin, Claude Hill, Raymond Loewy, Budd Steinhilber, and Walter Dorwin Teague. Darrin was known for his designs for exotic luxury and sports cars. Claude Hill created some important concept car designs, while Raymond Loewy's photographs document a number of striking Studebaker model designs. Budd Steinhilber was a member of the design team for the revolutionary rear-engine 1948 Tucker automobile, and Walter Dorwin Teague designed for both the Ford Motor Company and the Marmon Motor Company.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit. Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century. This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present: * The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees * Businesses and industries that Armenians created here * The importance of their religious and social identity * Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

Hillerbrand+Magsamen: Higher Ground Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
This husband-and-wife artistic team explores the domestic side of life using their Houston home and its contents (including the kids and family dog) as both inspiration and material. Part performance and part installation, the artists record their process through videos and photographs that comment on family dynamics, life in the suburbs, and American consumerism. Their recent project, "Higher Ground," documents the family's efforts to build a spaceship in their backyard and then pilot it to the moon. Through video, sculpture, and photographs, visitors will follow their humorous yet poignant journey into outer space.

Bricks and Blocks Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Bricks and Blocks" combines two seemingly dissimilar mediums, LEGOs and quilts, to celebrate color, pattern and construction and to take play and ingenuity to new heights. The exhibition features original small-scale LEGO designs alongside works by some of the finest quilters in the region. The LEGO Design Challenge: Build Your Syracuse called upon the community to reimagine Syracuse and its structures. Working in small scale, contributors of all ages gave a fresh look to Syracuse through the magic of LEGOs, considering new and improved buildings and modes of transportation they wish to see in their city. A panel of professional architects and local government officials carefully evaluated and selected submissions based on the creative application of LEGO bricks, imaginative design and concept, as well as difficulty of execution and vision. Concurrently, Central New York quilters were invited to submit original, contemporary quilts whose vibrant fabric narratives treat the eye to the themes of color, play and geometry and whose work demonstrates original feats of fiber engineering. Creativity comes in many forms. Together, the beauty and artistry of quilts and the innovation and imagination of the LEGO constructions entwine to create a vivid and playful presentation.

Handmade: The Art of Susan Roth Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
This major exhibition surveys more than 40 years of work produced by the Canastota-based artist, ranging from her early stain paintings influenced by the Color Field painters to recent works in powder-coated steel. Roth's abstract, shaped canvases are composed of layers of color which often take on three-dimensional, sculptural forms. These innovative works are made possible through the use of acrylic products that Roth has had a hand in developing over the years in collaboration with Golden Artist Colors, a Central New York-based company that specializes in acrylic colors and mediums. Roth's restless experimentation has resulted in a body of work that pushes painting to the limits and has repeatedly opened new areas for exploration. Featuring more than 30 works from private and public collections, "Handmade" connects works across various periods in order to highlight the material and conceptual concerns that have remained constant throughout Roth's long career but which also continues to evolve.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

"The Mind's Eye", a group exhibition featuring works by Arlene Abend (flame-painted copper sculpture), Katya Bratslavsky (acrylic paintings), Mark Raush (acrylic paintings), and Walter Melnikow (acrylic/mixed media paintings), is centered on artists creating works through an internal and individual response to the external, including physical locations or objects, and proceeding beyond direct observation. These works aren't necessarily a translation, but how the artist's mind chooses to respond visually through their chosen materials.

Impressions: South Sudan: The Photographs of Michelle Gabel and Bruce Strong ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
"Impressions: South Sudan" features photographs by Michelle Gabel, a photojournalist with the Syracuse Media Group and graduate student at SU's Newhouse School of Public Communications, and Bruce Strong, a multimedia storyteller and Newhouse School professor. Maureen Sieh's commentary provides a background for the photographs. Now an independent journalist based in Africa, Sieh is a former reporter and editor for Syracuse Newspapers, where she focused on ethnic community issues. Made on separate trips, Strong's and Gabel's photographs represent specific conditions and struggles of the South Sudanese before the formation of an autonomous South Sudan in 2011. While these images are specific to a time and place--after the second Sudanese civil war, which ended in 2005--the photographs reflect the rampant poverty and public health crisis as well as the dignity and grace of a people who persevere despite centuries of conflict. Sieh's commentary is based on her 2009 trip to South Sudan and her decade-long experience reporting on the Lost Boys, dating from their arrival in Syracuse in 2001. The exhibition reminds us of the debilitating effects of all wars--those in Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela and other nations including South Sudan, where the situation remains in flux and renewed violence continues today.

The Automobile: Design Considerations and Local Manifestations Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"The Automobile" provides a sampling of the ways in which the automobile evolved in the Syracuse area and a glimpse into the innovations of some of the most significant mid-20th-century automobile designers. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the air-cooled Franklin car, the most famous of Syracuse's automobile lines, with its remarkably flexible and durable wooden frame. The exhibition will also include drawings, sketches, and photographs from SCRC's industrial design collections by designers Howard A. Darrin, Claude Hill, Raymond Loewy, Budd Steinhilber, and Walter Dorwin Teague. Darrin was known for his designs for exotic luxury and sports cars. Claude Hill created some important concept car designs, while Raymond Loewy's photographs document a number of striking Studebaker model designs. Budd Steinhilber was a member of the design team for the revolutionary rear-engine 1948 Tucker automobile, and Walter Dorwin Teague designed for both the Ford Motor Company and the Marmon Motor Company.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit. Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century. This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present: * The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees * Businesses and industries that Armenians created here * The importance of their religious and social identity * Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

Handmade: The Art of Susan Roth Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
This major exhibition surveys more than 40 years of work produced by the Canastota-based artist, ranging from her early stain paintings influenced by the Color Field painters to recent works in powder-coated steel. Roth's abstract, shaped canvases are composed of layers of color which often take on three-dimensional, sculptural forms. These innovative works are made possible through the use of acrylic products that Roth has had a hand in developing over the years in collaboration with Golden Artist Colors, a Central New York-based company that specializes in acrylic colors and mediums. Roth's restless experimentation has resulted in a body of work that pushes painting to the limits and has repeatedly opened new areas for exploration. Featuring more than 30 works from private and public collections, "Handmade" connects works across various periods in order to highlight the material and conceptual concerns that have remained constant throughout Roth's long career but which also continues to evolve.

Bricks and Blocks Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Bricks and Blocks" combines two seemingly dissimilar mediums, LEGOs and quilts, to celebrate color, pattern and construction and to take play and ingenuity to new heights. The exhibition features original small-scale LEGO designs alongside works by some of the finest quilters in the region. The LEGO Design Challenge: Build Your Syracuse called upon the community to reimagine Syracuse and its structures. Working in small scale, contributors of all ages gave a fresh look to Syracuse through the magic of LEGOs, considering new and improved buildings and modes of transportation they wish to see in their city. A panel of professional architects and local government officials carefully evaluated and selected submissions based on the creative application of LEGO bricks, imaginative design and concept, as well as difficulty of execution and vision. Concurrently, Central New York quilters were invited to submit original, contemporary quilts whose vibrant fabric narratives treat the eye to the themes of color, play and geometry and whose work demonstrates original feats of fiber engineering. Creativity comes in many forms. Together, the beauty and artistry of quilts and the innovation and imagination of the LEGO constructions entwine to create a vivid and playful presentation.

Impressions: South Sudan: The Photographs of Michelle Gabel and Bruce Strong ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
"Impressions: South Sudan" features photographs by Michelle Gabel, a photojournalist with the Syracuse Media Group and graduate student at SU's Newhouse School of Public Communications, and Bruce Strong, a multimedia storyteller and Newhouse School professor. Maureen Sieh's commentary provides a background for the photographs. Now an independent journalist based in Africa, Sieh is a former reporter and editor for Syracuse Newspapers, where she focused on ethnic community issues. Made on separate trips, Strong's and Gabel's photographs represent specific conditions and struggles of the South Sudanese before the formation of an autonomous South Sudan in 2011. While these images are specific to a time and place--after the second Sudanese civil war, which ended in 2005--the photographs reflect the rampant poverty and public health crisis as well as the dignity and grace of a people who persevere despite centuries of conflict. Sieh's commentary is based on her 2009 trip to South Sudan and her decade-long experience reporting on the Lost Boys, dating from their arrival in Syracuse in 2001. The exhibition reminds us of the debilitating effects of all wars--those in Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela and other nations including South Sudan, where the situation remains in flux and renewed violence continues today.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit. Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century. This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present: * The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees * Businesses and industries that Armenians created here * The importance of their religious and social identity * Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

Impressions: South Sudan: The Photographs of Michelle Gabel and Bruce Strong ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
"Impressions: South Sudan" features photographs by Michelle Gabel, a photojournalist with the Syracuse Media Group and graduate student at SU's Newhouse School of Public Communications, and Bruce Strong, a multimedia storyteller and Newhouse School professor. Maureen Sieh's commentary provides a background for the photographs. Now an independent journalist based in Africa, Sieh is a former reporter and editor for Syracuse Newspapers, where she focused on ethnic community issues. Made on separate trips, Strong's and Gabel's photographs represent specific conditions and struggles of the South Sudanese before the formation of an autonomous South Sudan in 2011. While these images are specific to a time and place--after the second Sudanese civil war, which ended in 2005--the photographs reflect the rampant poverty and public health crisis as well as the dignity and grace of a people who persevere despite centuries of conflict. Sieh's commentary is based on her 2009 trip to South Sudan and her decade-long experience reporting on the Lost Boys, dating from their arrival in Syracuse in 2001. The exhibition reminds us of the debilitating effects of all wars--those in Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela and other nations including South Sudan, where the situation remains in flux and renewed violence continues today.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

Handmade: The Art of Susan Roth Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
This major exhibition surveys more than 40 years of work produced by the Canastota-based artist, ranging from her early stain paintings influenced by the Color Field painters to recent works in powder-coated steel. Roth's abstract, shaped canvases are composed of layers of color which often take on three-dimensional, sculptural forms. These innovative works are made possible through the use of acrylic products that Roth has had a hand in developing over the years in collaboration with Golden Artist Colors, a Central New York-based company that specializes in acrylic colors and mediums. Roth's restless experimentation has resulted in a body of work that pushes painting to the limits and has repeatedly opened new areas for exploration. Featuring more than 30 works from private and public collections, "Handmade" connects works across various periods in order to highlight the material and conceptual concerns that have remained constant throughout Roth's long career but which also continues to evolve.

Bricks and Blocks Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Bricks and Blocks" combines two seemingly dissimilar mediums, LEGOs and quilts, to celebrate color, pattern and construction and to take play and ingenuity to new heights. The exhibition features original small-scale LEGO designs alongside works by some of the finest quilters in the region. The LEGO Design Challenge: Build Your Syracuse called upon the community to reimagine Syracuse and its structures. Working in small scale, contributors of all ages gave a fresh look to Syracuse through the magic of LEGOs, considering new and improved buildings and modes of transportation they wish to see in their city. A panel of professional architects and local government officials carefully evaluated and selected submissions based on the creative application of LEGO bricks, imaginative design and concept, as well as difficulty of execution and vision. Concurrently, Central New York quilters were invited to submit original, contemporary quilts whose vibrant fabric narratives treat the eye to the themes of color, play and geometry and whose work demonstrates original feats of fiber engineering. Creativity comes in many forms. Together, the beauty and artistry of quilts and the innovation and imagination of the LEGO constructions entwine to create a vivid and playful presentation.

The Automobile: Design Considerations and Local Manifestations Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"The Automobile" provides a sampling of the ways in which the automobile evolved in the Syracuse area and a glimpse into the innovations of some of the most significant mid-20th-century automobile designers. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the air-cooled Franklin car, the most famous of Syracuse's automobile lines, with its remarkably flexible and durable wooden frame. The exhibition will also include drawings, sketches, and photographs from SCRC's industrial design collections by designers Howard A. Darrin, Claude Hill, Raymond Loewy, Budd Steinhilber, and Walter Dorwin Teague. Darrin was known for his designs for exotic luxury and sports cars. Claude Hill created some important concept car designs, while Raymond Loewy's photographs document a number of striking Studebaker model designs. Budd Steinhilber was a member of the design team for the revolutionary rear-engine 1948 Tucker automobile, and Walter Dorwin Teague designed for both the Ford Motor Company and the Marmon Motor Company.

The Automobile: Design Considerations and Local Manifestations Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"The Automobile" provides a sampling of the ways in which the automobile evolved in the Syracuse area and a glimpse into the innovations of some of the most significant mid-20th-century automobile designers. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the air-cooled Franklin car, the most famous of Syracuse's automobile lines, with its remarkably flexible and durable wooden frame. The exhibition will also include drawings, sketches, and photographs from SCRC's industrial design collections by designers Howard A. Darrin, Claude Hill, Raymond Loewy, Budd Steinhilber, and Walter Dorwin Teague. Darrin was known for his designs for exotic luxury and sports cars. Claude Hill created some important concept car designs, while Raymond Loewy's photographs document a number of striking Studebaker model designs. Budd Steinhilber was a member of the design team for the revolutionary rear-engine 1948 Tucker automobile, and Walter Dorwin Teague designed for both the Ford Motor Company and the Marmon Motor Company.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

Bricks and Blocks Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Bricks and Blocks" combines two seemingly dissimilar mediums, LEGOs and quilts, to celebrate color, pattern and construction and to take play and ingenuity to new heights. The exhibition features original small-scale LEGO designs alongside works by some of the finest quilters in the region. The LEGO Design Challenge: Build Your Syracuse called upon the community to reimagine Syracuse and its structures. Working in small scale, contributors of all ages gave a fresh look to Syracuse through the magic of LEGOs, considering new and improved buildings and modes of transportation they wish to see in their city. A panel of professional architects and local government officials carefully evaluated and selected submissions based on the creative application of LEGO bricks, imaginative design and concept, as well as difficulty of execution and vision. Concurrently, Central New York quilters were invited to submit original, contemporary quilts whose vibrant fabric narratives treat the eye to the themes of color, play and geometry and whose work demonstrates original feats of fiber engineering. Creativity comes in many forms. Together, the beauty and artistry of quilts and the innovation and imagination of the LEGO constructions entwine to create a vivid and playful presentation.

Handmade: The Art of Susan Roth Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
This major exhibition surveys more than 40 years of work produced by the Canastota-based artist, ranging from her early stain paintings influenced by the Color Field painters to recent works in powder-coated steel. Roth's abstract, shaped canvases are composed of layers of color which often take on three-dimensional, sculptural forms. These innovative works are made possible through the use of acrylic products that Roth has had a hand in developing over the years in collaboration with Golden Artist Colors, a Central New York-based company that specializes in acrylic colors and mediums. Roth's restless experimentation has resulted in a body of work that pushes painting to the limits and has repeatedly opened new areas for exploration. Featuring more than 30 works from private and public collections, "Handmade" connects works across various periods in order to highlight the material and conceptual concerns that have remained constant throughout Roth's long career but which also continues to evolve.

Impressions: South Sudan: The Photographs of Michelle Gabel and Bruce Strong ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
"Impressions: South Sudan" features photographs by Michelle Gabel, a photojournalist with the Syracuse Media Group and graduate student at SU's Newhouse School of Public Communications, and Bruce Strong, a multimedia storyteller and Newhouse School professor. Maureen Sieh's commentary provides a background for the photographs. Now an independent journalist based in Africa, Sieh is a former reporter and editor for Syracuse Newspapers, where she focused on ethnic community issues. Made on separate trips, Strong's and Gabel's photographs represent specific conditions and struggles of the South Sudanese before the formation of an autonomous South Sudan in 2011. While these images are specific to a time and place--after the second Sudanese civil war, which ended in 2005--the photographs reflect the rampant poverty and public health crisis as well as the dignity and grace of a people who persevere despite centuries of conflict. Sieh's commentary is based on her 2009 trip to South Sudan and her decade-long experience reporting on the Lost Boys, dating from their arrival in Syracuse in 2001. The exhibition reminds us of the debilitating effects of all wars--those in Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela and other nations including South Sudan, where the situation remains in flux and renewed violence continues today.

While these images are specific to a time and place--after the second Sudanese civil war, which ended in 2005--the photographs reflect the rampant poverty and public health crisis as well as the dignity and grace of a people who persevere despite centuries of conflict. Sieh's commentary is based on her 2009 trip to South Sudan and her decade-long experience reporting on the Lost Boys, dating from their arrival in Syracuse in 2001. The exhibition reminds us of the debilitating effects of all wars--those in Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela and other nations including South Sudan, where the situation remains in flux and renewed violence continues today.
