A Legacy of Firsts: The Everson Collects
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

In 1911, the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts (known today as the Everson) made history as the first museum in the country to declare that it would focus on collecting works made by American artists. This decision, implemented by Museum Director Fernando Carter, was the first of many made by directors that ultimately defined the Everson's collection as it exists today. This exhibition examines over one hundred years of the Museum's collecting priorities, from the Museum's earliest acquisitions in 1911 to work acquired in 2019

NOTE: Face masks required of all visitors, staff, and volunteers at all times. Fridays and Saturdays 10:00 am-12:00 pm are reserved for Everson members and high-risk individuals.

Joe Guerriero: Waiting for Normal: Cuba and the United States
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free, but reservations required
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

People feel an undeniable attraction to Cuba after visiting even once. It's mostly about the people— their warmth and friendliness, their art, music and culture. However, it is almost impossible to photograph or create art in Cuba without capturing the effects of the embargo. Photographer Joe Guerriero's photography and film work does just that, reflecting more than 20 years of spending time with the Cuban people and experiencing first hand the effects of the United States' continuing embargo of the island. He shows how the embargo affects the lives not only of Cubans but of those Cuban-Americans who still have relatives in Cuba.

Syracuse International Film Festival

Price: Free
Online

11:00 am
The Winter (directed by Xin Li, 5 minutes, Australia)
Walking in a snowy forest, a peasant sees an unusual deer and goes to follow it. The deer allures him and the peasant even wants to catch it.

To The Dusty Sea (directed by Heloise Ferlay, 13 minutes, France)
Left alone in the deepest of the summer, Malo and Zoe are trying their best to catch their mother's elusive eye.

Bubble (directed by Janelle DeWitt, 5 minutes, U.S.)
"Bubble" is a surreal short that literally deals with getting caught up in one's own head.

Pearl Diver (directed by Margrethe Danielsen, 9 minutes, Norway)
Three couples are facing different challenges: A middle-aged hedgehog falls in love with a balloon, but finds it difficult to maintain his grooming routine. A couple of arctic lovers are experiencing a coldness between them, and two oysters are losing patience as they wait to be on the same schedule.

11:45 am
Age of Bryce (directed by David Feagan & Brian Elliott, 10 minutes, U.S.)
Smothered by an adoring, over-protective mom, 12-year-old Bryce Yancy Paul (Bip) is pushed to the brink of pubescent revolution. It's time to ripen. Bloom. Break the shackles of parental paranoia. It's the Age of Bryce. Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Passion Makes School (directed by Alfonso (Rino) Cac, 79 minutes, Italy)
Ivan is a 12-year-old boy who wants to make a documentary. He is looking for a topic that involves him and he interviews his classmates to find it. When spring arrives he is attracted by the beauty of nature and, with his video, he wants to participate in a competition. But together with his school he is involved in a race where you have to ride on static bikes to produce clean energy. In the classroom they talk about environmental crises and energy problems. During the holidays Ivan is more attentive to environmental problems and when he goes to the sea he tries to clean up a beach full of plastic. Back in school, he no longer thinks about competitions and discovers the importance of teamwork. There is no time to lose: the challenge for him and for the other kids is to believe in a possible solution for a problem that affects everyone but, above all, their future.

1:30 pm
Gift (directed by Boya Harizanova, 29 minutes, Bulgaria)
In order to preserve the memory of himself longer, Vasil (81) decides to give his favorite old car, Moskvitch, as a gift to his 12-year old great-grandson.

Sycamore (directed by Mehmet Tigli (15 minutes - Turkey)
An old man spends the day wandering the streets of Istanbul. He communicates with the trees and seagulls rather than other people. All day, he checks the ATMs to find change like a child, even though he does not own an ATM card. He gets happy when he finds money and indignant when he doesn't. For the old man, life is like a game that has remained from his childhood. And the sycamore leaves are a part of this innocent game.

Wednesdays (directed by Jung Yoon Jang & Hae Seoung Kim, 16 minutes, Korea/U.S.)
A Japanese military sexual slavery victim, Dong-bok skips the Wednesday protest and instead goes to find out what bubble tea is. Dong-bok encounters a young couple, which brings back childhood memories of her first love, Byeol-ha.

The Man No One Knew (directed by Oswaldo Colon Ortiz, 30 minutes, Puerto Rico)
The Man No One Knew is an intimate look at Enriquelo, the queer owner of a flea market, devout Catholic and street artist; a man best known around town as a character. We follow his routine, ultimately revealing a far more complex person that has come to terms with himself through performance.

3:30 pm: IMAGING DISABILITY IN FILM SHOWCASE
Terraforma (by directed Drew MacPowell, 15 minutes, Israel)

Enid & Mami steps into the daily life of Enid Mojica McGinnis, an educator, pastor, and caretaker to her mother, Emilia Roman. The short documentary provides a glimpse into the humor, honor, and hardship of the primary caretaker role, as well as the special bond that exists between a mother and her daughter.

And They Were Roommates: Navigating Inclusive Mentorship in Higher Education (directed by Kylie Walter, 39 minutes, U.S.)
And They Were Roommates: Navigating Inclusive Mentorship in Higher Education is a catalyst to transform the narrative around inclusive peer men-torship on college campuses. In the field of education, "inclusive" involves real, equitable and individualized opportunities for students with and without disabilities. The InclusiveU program at Syracuse University creates such educational and social opportunities in a higher education setting. Inclusive peer mentorship comes with a unique set of challenges, successes and emotions. The film follows the evolving relationship of Kylie (a junior studying Education) and her roommate Olivia (a non-matriculated freshman studying Studio Arts). Throughout the academic year, their vlogs expose the realities of inclusive mentorship from a student perspective. Interviews with eleven of their peers, fulfilling roles as both inclusive mentees and mentors, adds multiple perspectives.

A video about the wonderful and constant evolution of the beloved ocean.

Love Is Not Love (directed by Stephen Keep Mills, 95 minutes, U.S.)
Early December, New York City, and everyone is on the hunt for love. Why? Because they haven't found it.And because they haven't found it, they make it into a myth and chase the myth instead. That is not love in this romantic drama of fantasy, fate, and yearning.

It Can’t Happen Here
Syracuse Stage
Lisa Peterson, director

Price: Free
Online

Syracuse Stage partners with more than 75 theaters across the country to broadcast a radio adaption of Sinclair Lewis's 1930s politically charged novel It Can't Happen Here. Produced by the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the show stars Oscar nominated actor David Strathairn. Also in the cast is Greta Oglesby, who starred in Syracuse Stage's production of Caroline, or Change.

Written in 1935 during the rise of fascism in Europe, Lewis's darkly satirical It Can't Happen Here follows the ascent of a demagogue who becomes president of the United States by promising to return the country to greatness. The new stage adaptation, which premiered at the Berkeley Repertory Theater in 2016, closed just one week before the presidential election roiled our nation. Now, Berkeley Rep reprises that production, but this time Syracuse Stage along with theaters across the country will be joining to broadcast this production as a radio play. The broadcast is intended to encourage participation in the upcoming election.

Silent movie version of Hitchcock's classic film, with original musical score by Erin O'Hara, performed by Society for New Music.
About the Film: Frequently cited as the first British sound film, Hitchcock began Blackmail as if creating a silent film and then adapted it to sound. Both versions were released by British International Pictures. It was voted best British film of 1929 in a UK poll the year it was released, and in a 2017 a poll of 150 actors, directors, writers, producers and critics for Time Out magazine it was ranked as the 59th best British film ever.

Plot: During their date, Alice White (Anny Ondra) has a fight with her boyfriend, Scotland Yard Officer Frank Webber (John Longden), and decides to leave with an artist named Mr. Crewe (Cyril Ritchard).

Frank investigates the case and, after realizing Alice is the culprit, seeks to help her. However, a thief (Donald Calthrop) with blackmail on his mind complicates matters.
About the Composer: The original musical score was created by CNY native Erin O'Hara, a singer songwriter and composer for film and television. Her music has been featured in films and television programs around the globe. She has created original scores for a number of award-winning docu-mentaries, including the Emmy-nominated In the Family and Michael Moore's Oscar nominated Socko.

After 30 years of construction, fighting increasing poverty and political instability, Opeka has created a highly functional city within this dysfunctional African nation. His mission is to prepare the children he saves to one day save their own country.

Fabiola Jean-Louis: Rewriting History
Point of Contact Gallery

Price: Free; appointment required
Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

Regarding Jean-Louis' exhibition, "Rewriting History," the HuffPost found that the "Victorian era dresses, fashioned almost entirely from paper, become actors in a photographic essay that challenges history, reality, and time. Visual, sculptural and performative at once, the work reels viewers into an alternate realm; one that heroically re-examines the past and thrusts the majesty of African ancestors — real and imagined — to the fore. Each image has its factual, historical connection and a narrative remixed via Fabiola's multi-dimensional lens. The dresses, and their environments, are imbued with vestiges of fantasy and futurism, creating impressions that are otherworldly, palpable, and highly persuasive."

Talley’s Folly
Syracuse Stage
Robert Hupp, director

Online

Kate Hamill and Jason O'Connell star in Lanford Wilson's 1980 Pulitzer Prize-winning Valentine of a play.

Joe Guerriero: Waiting for Normal: Cuba and the United States

People feel an undeniable attraction to Cuba after visiting even once. It's mostly about the people— their warmth and friendliness, their art, music and culture. However, it is almost impossible to photograph or create art in Cuba without capturing the effects of the embargo. Photographer Joe Guerriero's photography and film work does just that, reflecting more than 20 years of spending time with the Cuban people and experiencing first hand the effects of the United States' continuing embargo of the island. He shows how the embargo affects the lives not only of Cubans but of those Cuban-Americans who still have relatives in Cuba.

Everson Museum of Art

The ancient Andean civilizations of South America were strikingly diverse in their religious beliefs and material cultures, but each developed complex ceramics for both domestic and ritual use. This exhibition features key pieces from the Museum's collection, including several recent acquisitions from the Nazca, Paracas, Moche, Chimú, and Chavin cultures.

A Legacy of Firsts: The Everson Collects
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

In 1911, the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts (known today as the Everson) made history as the first museum in the country to declare that it would focus on collecting works made by American artists. This decision, implemented by Museum Director Fernando Carter, was the first of many made by directors that ultimately defined the Everson's collection as it exists today. This exhibition examines over one hundred years of the Museum's collecting priorities, from the Museum's earliest acquisitions in 1911 to work acquired in 2019

NOTE: Face masks required of all visitors, staff, and volunteers at all times. Fridays and Saturdays 10:00 am-12:00 pm are reserved for Everson members and high-risk individuals.

Fabiola Jean-Louis: Rewriting History
Point of Contact Gallery

Price: Free; appointment required
Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

Regarding Jean-Louis' exhibition, "Rewriting History," the HuffPost found that the "Victorian era dresses, fashioned almost entirely from paper, become actors in a photographic essay that challenges history, reality, and time. Visual, sculptural and performative at once, the work reels viewers into an alternate realm; one that heroically re-examines the past and thrusts the majesty of African ancestors — real and imagined — to the fore. Each image has its factual, historical connection and a narrative remixed via Fabiola's multi-dimensional lens. The dresses, and their environments, are imbued with vestiges of fantasy and futurism, creating impressions that are otherworldly, palpable, and highly persuasive."

In this exceptional documentary, the filmmakers Catherine Norris Trent, Julie Dungelhoeff and Abdallah Malkawi take viewers to the heart of the chaos that is present-day Libya; alternating between the front-lines of the current conflict and the huge, continuing migration crisis unfolding there. They follow a militia from the Libyan city of Misrata to the frontline of the war, which is taking place among abandoned homes on the southern outskirts of the capital city, Tripoli. They witness first-hand the fragmentation of forces battling eastern Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar.

8:15 pm
Can You Hear Us Now? (directed by Jim Cricchi, 86 minutes, U.S.)
Small-town activism. Nail-biting elections. A last-minute power grab. In Wisconsin, where extreme partisanship has become the norm, voters are finding their lives increasingly irrelevant to state lawmakers. Through the stories of a working-class, single mother of five, a laid-off environmental educator, a retired public school teacher and a tireless voting rights activist, Can You Hear Us Now? unravels the ways that years of one-party rule have reshaped democracy in a state long known for its progressive history.

Visiting Artist Lecture Series: KARLINCHE
Syracuse University School of Art and Design

Price: Free
Online

Karla Rosas is KARLINCHE, an undocumented illustrator and painter born in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Much of Karla's work explores the relationship between "illegality," family history, queerness, and self-identity. Karla's work is grounded in the idea that the personal is political, and she considers her art a form of reasserting her subjectivity and agency as an undocumented person in the United States. Karla's work has also been part of numerous political actions locally and nationally, including the Flowers on the Inside postcard campaign in partnership with CultureStrike, Casa Arcoiris, and Forward Together. In 2019, she was awarded the Define American Immigrant Artist Fellowship, one of eight artists selected nationally.

The lecture is available to the public via livestream on the Syracuse University Art Museum YouTube channel.
