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.

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.

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."

Appointment required. Make an appointment.

Syracuse Stage
Robert Hupp, director

Kate Hamill and Jason O'Connell star in Lanford Wilson's 1980 Pulitzer Prize-winning Valentine of a play. On July 4, 1944, Matt Friedman, a 40+ accountant and in love for the first time in his life, drives 200 miles to the heart of Missouri Christian farm country to propose to Sally Talley, ten years younger and seemingly not interested. Having been met at the door by Sally's shotgun toting brother—Jews not welcome here—Matt takes refuge in a Victorian folly of a boathouse on the nearby river, where Sally finds him. Cue moonlight and music (waltz, please), willows and woods. Can one enchanted evening change the course of two lives? Once upon a time—there was hope in the land.

The driver, Clive, is riddled with marks and the cyclist Richard, is pummeling him.Without hesitation Elmer rushes to Clive's aid, but Clive and Richard are thrust into a purgatory underworld where their character and crimes are judged by an undulating force and Elmer sees his world frozen in time. Only forgiveness will bring both men back to Elmer's world alive.

And if my love were in vain. Oh God, I would want to die! She was the roughest, toughest frail. In your cold room look at the trembling stars. I am pining, I am tormented! But my mystery is closed in me. Have pity. I'll win at dawn and we must alas die. Have pity. Death and despair flame about me.

Undercurrent (directed by Weng Yu-Tong, 20 minutes, Taiwan)
In a winter evening of 1979, the arrest of anti-government protesters involved in the Formosa Incident is underway. The city is under curfew, but a teenage student, out of curiosity, follows a mysterious young man from a riverside path into an abandoned hut.

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.

2:00 pm
Generation Growth (directed by Mu Sun, 97 minutes, U.S.)
Stephen Ritz looks at new ways to approach poverty and healthy habits in the Bronx and throughout the United states.

3:45 pm: COMEDY SHOWCASE
Clark and Lewis (directed by Cloe Rice, 13 minutes, U.S.)
It's your favorite 19th century explorers here, ready to do all the work without any help at all. Watch us explore the Louisiana Purchase, find an all water route to the Pacific Ocean (?), and maybe even find endangered woolly mammoths along the way. Forget everything you think you know about history because this semi-true documentary series is sure to reframe it, if not rewrite it.

Second Team Film (directed by Ria Pavia, 11 minutes, U.S.)
A scorned stand-in actor for a hit TV show distorts the script to publicly undress her costar.

Coffee and a Donut (directed by Cary Patrick Martin, 12 minutes U.S.)
A story of a young immigrant who knows no English, and his trials in....ordering breakfast at the local diner. Pablo is a young immigrant, new to the United States, and speaks no English. When he first comes into a diner, not knowing how to order, he mimics another customer. Thus, a "coffee and a donut" becomes his regular order. Meanwhile, more appetizing meals pass in front of him, which he has to figure out how to order while in a busy environment that leaves him isolated. He befriends Camila, an assertive Latina-American, who takes him under her wing while he learns how to start off with the most important meal of the day.

American Marriage (directed by Giorgio Arcelli Fontana, 15 minutes, Italy)
Leonardo, an Italian immigrant who lives in New York, marries a Latina woman, Nikki, to obtain the American greencard. Through the comedy of it all Nikki and Leo fall in love "for real" but it looks like "Uncle Sam" will be the one to have the last laugh.

Procedural Justice (directed by Josh Callahan, 11 minutes, U.S.)
Crime in Murderburg is out of control and there's only one cop who can clean it up. Unfortunately, he's on vacation in the Poconos, so Murderburg will have to settle for the next best thing. Unfortunately, the next best thing has been suspended for gross misconduct. They'll have to settle for Detective Ace Pallagrello's unique brand of Procedural Justice.

5:00 pm
Slava's Journey: Secrets of Snow (directed by Steve Haisman & Clive Howard, 64 minutes, Russia)
Helena Bonham-Carter narrates the story of how, and why, world-famous stage artist Slava Polunin takes his theatrical spectacular "SNOWSHOW" and his gaggle of clowns on a train to Arctic Russia in the middle of the coldest winter for 1,000 years.

Bolero: A Global Hit (directed by Anne-Solen, 53 minutes, France)
It's a perpetual soundtrack for the world: a performance of Bolero is begun every 15 minutes. Ninety years after its creation, this documentary explores Ravel's masterpiece through the artists from many disciplines who have taken it on. With them we want to reveal the richness and ambiguity of this seem-ingly simple work, which has become a major influence on modern music and "pop culture", and to understand the driving forces behind its extraordinary story.

7:00 pm: IMAGING DISABILITY IN FILM SHOWCASE
Terraforma (directed by Drew MacPowell, 15 minutes, Israel)
Driven and sensitive are just a few words to describe the troubled artists, Avi, and Toam. Although stable in their DID (dissociative identity disorder), they reach a critical moment in life when the love of Avi's life threatens their existence.

Lessons With Martha (directed by Matthew C. Johnson, 12 minutes, U.S.)
When a young man visits his grandmother and discovers she has developed dementia, they both reflect on the piano lessons she gave him as a child.

Enid & Mami (directed by Julia Reagan, 18 minutes, U.S.)
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 mentorship 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.

8:00 pm
Maternal (directed by Maura Delpero, 91 minutes, Argentina)
The Hogar is a paradoxical world in which the precocious maternity of a group of teen moms lives together with the vow of chastity made by the nuns who welcomed them, between rigid rules and Christian love. Sister Paola has just arrived in Buenos Aires from Italy to finish her novitiate and take her final votes at the Hogar, an Italian religious center for teen moms in Buenos. Lu and Fati, both 17, are children abruptly converted into mothers. Three different women who will influence each other's lives and their relationship with motherhood.

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. On July 4, 1944, Matt Friedman, a 40+ accountant and in love for the first time in his life, drives 200 miles to the heart of Missouri Christian farm country to propose to Sally Talley, ten years younger and seemingly not interested. Having been met at the door by Sally's shotgun toting brother—Jews not welcome here—Matt takes refuge in a Victorian folly of a boathouse on the nearby river, where Sally finds him. Cue moonlight and music (waltz, please), willows and woods. Can one enchanted evening change the course of two lives? Once upon a time—there was hope in the land.

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."

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.

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.

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. On July 4, 1944, Matt Friedman, a 40+ accountant and in love for the first time in his life, drives 200 miles to the heart of Missouri Christian farm country to propose to Sally Talley, ten years younger and seemingly not interested. Having been met at the door by Sally's shotgun toting brother—Jews not welcome here—Matt takes refuge in a Victorian folly of a boathouse on the nearby river, where Sally finds him. Cue moonlight and music (waltz, please), willows and woods. Can one enchanted evening change the course of two lives? Once upon a time—there was hope in the land.
