Price: Free SU Art Galleries, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,

"Per(Sister): Incarcerated Women of the United States" explores the root causes of mass incarceration in the U.S. through art inspired by the interviews of 30 formerly-incarcerated women of Louisiana — the state known as the "Prison Capital of the World." Co-curated in partnership with formerly incarcerated women, "Per(Sister)" seeks to build awareness of the crucial issues that impact women before, during, and after incarceration. The exhibition shares stories of loss, hope, despair, survival, triumph, and persistence in a variety of forms, demonstrating simultaneously the universal struggles faced by communities impacted by incarceration and the personal resilience of each woman featured. "Per(Sister): Incarcerated Women of the United States" is a traveling exhibition produced by the Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University in New Orleans.

Forever is Composed of Nows Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Whether artists respond to history or look to the future, creativity exists in the moment. Drawn from the Everson's permanent collection, Forever is Composed of Nows examines a multitude of snapshots of the present moment, grouped by theme, image, or idea across different time periods and media. By examining how artists spanning three centuries have approached their present — their now — using similar topics and motifs, this exhibition is a visual exploration of how values, societal customs, and art subjects have evolved over time.

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Now More Than Ever, the inaugural exhibition for the CNY Artist Initiative, is an evolving installation of over 2000 digital images captured over the past ten years as artist Laura Reeder moves through her everyday life. The photos are taken everywhere — at work, in cities, in nature, while housekeeping, at meals, and as pauses or interruptions in a moment. During a pandemic, digital images connect us to each other; by presenting images in a physical space, Now More Than Ever offers respite and resistance to our sense-dulling digital lives.

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Soundtracks for the Present Future is an immersive auditory installation that combines nearly 60 second-hand guitars, mandolins, and basses to create a singular instrument. Suspended from the ceiling in a constellation, the instruments form a labyrinth of sounds and vibrations that perpetually shifts as viewers navigate the work. Through computer software, the instruments "play" various compositions ranging from classical European music to new or recent compositions modified for this installation.

Dawn Williams Boyd: Woe Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The sheer size of Dawn Williams Boyd's "cloth paintings" adds to their larger-than-life, often brutal subject matter. Her exhibition, Woe, is a collection of works that reflect a lifelong critique of social injustices and racial violence, epic battles with misogyny, and physical and psychological abuses of power. There is no such thing as neutral history. Using scraps of fabric, needles, and thread as her tools, Boyd painstakingly "paints" the entire surface of her quilts, layer upon layer, cutting, sewing, endlessly repurposing, building the surface into a formidable, authoritative source that pulls no punches.

In Flight From Flight Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Curator Mary DiPrete brings together eight artists considering what it means to be making art in a time of uncertainty and chaos. Her exhibition statement, a poem composed from their deconstructed artist statements, eschews the standard linear description of artistic process in favor of a meditation on time and place that demands and rewards close attention. The works in the exhibition echo both this need for sustained focus and the sense of play with linear time, presenting it in a range of formal experiments that cover almost every possible experience, from the momentary to geologic, quotidian, familial, intimate and mythic. Artists include Sierra Haynes, Tamara Jordan, Lily LaGrange, Stefanos Schultz, Cara Crowley, Ze Tian, Greeshma Chenni Veettil, and Keyi Zhang, facilitated by Professor Laura Heyman.

The Struggle to Connect: A Call and Response Conversation on Race and Gender by Women Artists ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
This exhibition was developed from conversations between exhibit curator Vanessa Johnson and the late Marie Summerwood, local activist and ArtRage volunteer. While all women are oppressed as women, there has been an uneasy "her-story" between women of color and white women in the feminist movement. From the Women's Suffrage Movement to modern day voting patterns, there is a continuing divide based on an intersectionality of race, gender, and class. "The Struggle to Connect" is an invitational group exhibition featuring a racially diverse group of women artists from CNY and beyond. The exhibit will confront the differences between white feminism and the feminist issues of women of color and explore differences in experiences and perspectives. Participating artists include Kimberly Archer, Kathye Arrington, Ellen M. Blalock, Jacquelyn Maye Johnson, Vanessa Johnson, Robin Kasowitz, Lauren Miller, Susan W. Murphy, Sarah Pirtle, Mary Stanley, Caroline Tauxe, Laura Thorne, and Megan White.

Somewhere Over the Border Syracuse Stage Rebecca Martínez, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Inspired by the real life journey of author Brian Quijada's mother (Reina Quijada) from El Salvador to the U.S. and by L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Somewhere Over the Border embraces the factual and the fantastical in its depiction of one young girl's pursuit of the American dream. As Reina travels north to the Mexican border, she gathers friends, faces down dangers, and holds tight to the memory of the little boy she left behind. Set in the 1970s and propelled by Cumbia, Mexican Mariachi Boleros, American Rock, and Hip Hop, this new musical is both fable and family history — and a testament to the determination born of love.

In this witty and razor-sharp play, Ike Holter takes aim at a small group of millennial friends who are trying to move past childhood and nights of drunken revelry to contend with the demands of adulthood. All are thrown for an unexpected loop when one friend, presumed long dead, suddenly turns up very much alive. Part of Holter's series of plays set in a fictional neighborhood in Chicago, Sender asks, in this day and age, what does growing up mean and is it even desirable. Tickets

In Flight From Flight Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Curator Mary DiPrete brings together eight artists considering what it means to be making art in a time of uncertainty and chaos. Her exhibition statement, a poem composed from their deconstructed artist statements, eschews the standard linear description of artistic process in favor of a meditation on time and place that demands and rewards close attention. The works in the exhibition echo both this need for sustained focus and the sense of play with linear time, presenting it in a range of formal experiments that cover almost every possible experience, from the momentary to geologic, quotidian, familial, intimate and mythic. Artists include Sierra Haynes, Tamara Jordan, Lily LaGrange, Stefanos Schultz, Cara Crowley, Ze Tian, Greeshma Chenni Veettil, and Keyi Zhang, facilitated by Professor Laura Heyman.

The Struggle to Connect: A Call and Response Conversation on Race and Gender by Women Artists ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
This exhibition was developed from conversations between exhibit curator Vanessa Johnson and the late Marie Summerwood, local activist and ArtRage volunteer. While all women are oppressed as women, there has been an uneasy "her-story" between women of color and white women in the feminist movement. From the Women's Suffrage Movement to modern day voting patterns, there is a continuing divide based on an intersectionality of race, gender, and class. "The Struggle to Connect" is an invitational group exhibition featuring a racially diverse group of women artists from CNY and beyond. The exhibit will confront the differences between white feminism and the feminist issues of women of color and explore differences in experiences and perspectives. Participating artists include Kimberly Archer, Kathye Arrington, Ellen M. Blalock, Jacquelyn Maye Johnson, Vanessa Johnson, Robin Kasowitz, Lauren Miller, Susan W. Murphy, Sarah Pirtle, Mary Stanley, Caroline Tauxe, Laura Thorne, and Megan White.

No Emoji for Ennui: Alison Nguyen: My Favorite Software Is Being Here Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"No Emoji for Ennui" is a group show featuring the work of Lana Z Caplan, Ross Meckfessel, Alison Nguyen, and Matt Whitman that explores the difficult-to-define emotional tenor of our time — one that often leaves us overstimulated and underwhelmed at the same time it demands endless positivity. The seductive surface of the touchscreen shatters and the polygon meshes underlying our shared social reality peek out from under the digital skin. What does it feel like to be a person in a world in which our sense of self has been thoroughly disoriented by technological entanglement and co-opted by neoliberal capital? By turns unsettling, contemplative, humorous, and filled with existential dread, the resulting show is a collective selfie of who and what we are now. Alison Nguyen, My Favorite Software Is Being Here A collaboration between Nguyen and a machine learning program created with Achim Koh, Andra8 is a simulacral subaltern created by an algorithm and raised by the Internet in isolation in a virtual void. From the apartment where she has been "placed," Andra8 works as a digital laborer, surviving off the data from her various "freemium" jobs as virtual assistant, data janitor, life coach, aspiring influencer, and content creator. As she multitasks throughout the day, Andra8 is monitored and surveilled, finding herself overwhelmed by a web of global client demands. Something begins to trouble Andra8: her life depends on her compulsory consumption and output of human data—or so she's been told. Andra8 explores the implications of such an existence, and what happens when one attempts to subvert them. Alison Nguyen is a New York City-based artist whose work spans video, installation, performance, and new media. Her screenings include Ann Arbor Film Festival, Channels Festival International Biennial of Video Art, CPH:DOX, Edinburgh International Film Festival, e-flux, International Film Festival Oberhausen, Microscope Gallery, Open City Documentary Festival, San Francisco Cinematheque's CROSSROADS Film Festival, and True/False Film Festival. Nguyen's residencies and fellowships include BRIC, the International Studio & Curatorial Program, The Institute of Electronic Arts, Signal Culture, Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center, and Vermont Studio Center. Her grant awards include the Foundation for Contemporary Art, NYSCA, and The New York Community Trust. In 2018, Filmmaker Magazine featured Alison Nguyen in their "25 New Faces of Independent Film." In 2021 she received a NYFA/NYSCA Artist Fellowship in Video/Film. (2020-21, 19:47 minutes)

Somewhere Over the Border Syracuse Stage Rebecca Martínez, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Inspired by the real life journey of author Brian Quijada's mother (Reina Quijada) from El Salvador to the U.S. and by L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Somewhere Over the Border embraces the factual and the fantastical in its depiction of one young girl's pursuit of the American dream. As Reina travels north to the Mexican border, she gathers friends, faces down dangers, and holds tight to the memory of the little boy she left behind. Set in the 1970s and propelled by Cumbia, Mexican Mariachi Boleros, American Rock, and Hip Hop, this new musical is both fable and family history — and a testament to the determination born of love.

Dawn Williams Boyd: Woe Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The sheer size of Dawn Williams Boyd's "cloth paintings" adds to their larger-than-life, often brutal subject matter. Her exhibition, Woe, is a collection of works that reflect a lifelong critique of social injustices and racial violence, epic battles with misogyny, and physical and psychological abuses of power. There is no such thing as neutral history. Using scraps of fabric, needles, and thread as her tools, Boyd painstakingly "paints" the entire surface of her quilts, layer upon layer, cutting, sewing, endlessly repurposing, building the surface into a formidable, authoritative source that pulls no punches.

Silent Sky Central New York Playhouse Dana Comfort, director
Atonement Lutheran Church
116 W. Glen Ave.,
Syracuse
When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn't allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women "computers," charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in "girl hours" and has no time for the women's probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman's place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women's ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

By examining how artists spanning three centuries have approached their present — their now — using similar topics and motifs, this exhibition is a visual exploration of how values, societal customs, and art subjects have evolved over time.

Dawn Williams Boyd: Woe Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The sheer size of Dawn Williams Boyd's "cloth paintings" adds to their larger-than-life, often brutal subject matter. Her exhibition, Woe, is a collection of works that reflect a lifelong critique of social injustices and racial violence, epic battles with misogyny, and physical and psychological abuses of power. There is no such thing as neutral history. Using scraps of fabric, needles, and thread as her tools, Boyd painstakingly "paints" the entire surface of her quilts, layer upon layer, cutting, sewing, endlessly repurposing, building the surface into a formidable, authoritative source that pulls no punches.

The Struggle to Connect: A Call and Response Conversation on Race and Gender by Women Artists ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
This exhibition was developed from conversations between exhibit curator Vanessa Johnson and the late Marie Summerwood, local activist and ArtRage volunteer. While all women are oppressed as women, there has been an uneasy "her-story" between women of color and white women in the feminist movement. From the Women's Suffrage Movement to modern day voting patterns, there is a continuing divide based on an intersectionality of race, gender, and class. "The Struggle to Connect" is an invitational group exhibition featuring a racially diverse group of women artists from CNY and beyond. The exhibit will confront the differences between white feminism and the feminist issues of women of color and explore differences in experiences and perspectives. Participating artists include Kimberly Archer, Kathye Arrington, Ellen M. Blalock, Jacquelyn Maye Johnson, Vanessa Johnson, Robin Kasowitz, Lauren Miller, Susan W. Murphy, Sarah Pirtle, Mary Stanley, Caroline Tauxe, Laura Thorne, and Megan White.

No Emoji for Ennui: Alison Nguyen: My Favorite Software Is Being Here Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"No Emoji for Ennui" is a group show featuring the work of Lana Z Caplan, Ross Meckfessel, Alison Nguyen, and Matt Whitman that explores the difficult-to-define emotional tenor of our time — one that often leaves us overstimulated and underwhelmed at the same time it demands endless positivity. The seductive surface of the touchscreen shatters and the polygon meshes underlying our shared social reality peek out from under the digital skin. What does it feel like to be a person in a world in which our sense of self has been thoroughly disoriented by technological entanglement and co-opted by neoliberal capital? By turns unsettling, contemplative, humorous, and filled with existential dread, the resulting show is a collective selfie of who and what we are now. Alison Nguyen, My Favorite Software Is Being Here A collaboration between Nguyen and a machine learning program created with Achim Koh, Andra8 is a simulacral subaltern created by an algorithm and raised by the Internet in isolation in a virtual void. From the apartment where she has been "placed," Andra8 works as a digital laborer, surviving off the data from her various "freemium" jobs as virtual assistant, data janitor, life coach, aspiring influencer, and content creator. As she multitasks throughout the day, Andra8 is monitored and surveilled, finding herself overwhelmed by a web of global client demands. Something begins to trouble Andra8: her life depends on her compulsory consumption and output of human data—or so she's been told. Andra8 explores the implications of such an existence, and what happens when one attempts to subvert them. Alison Nguyen is a New York City-based artist whose work spans video, installation, performance, and new media. Her screenings include Ann Arbor Film Festival, Channels Festival International Biennial of Video Art, CPH:DOX, Edinburgh International Film Festival, e-flux, International Film Festival Oberhausen, Microscope Gallery, Open City Documentary Festival, San Francisco Cinematheque's CROSSROADS Film Festival, and True/False Film Festival. Nguyen's residencies and fellowships include BRIC, the International Studio & Curatorial Program, The Institute of Electronic Arts, Signal Culture, Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center, and Vermont Studio Center. Her grant awards include the Foundation for Contemporary Art, NYSCA, and The New York Community Trust. In 2018, Filmmaker Magazine featured Alison Nguyen in their "25 New Faces of Independent Film." In 2021 she received a NYFA/NYSCA Artist Fellowship in Video/Film. (2020-21, 19:47 minutes)

Inspired by the real life journey of author Brian Quijada's mother (Reina Quijada) from El Salvador to the U.S. and by L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Somewhere Over the Border embraces the factual and the fantastical in its depiction of one young girl's pursuit of the American dream. As Reina travels north to the Mexican border, she gathers friends, faces down dangers, and holds tight to the memory of the little boy she left behind. Set in the 1970s and propelled by Cumbia, Mexican Mariachi Boleros, American Rock, and Hip Hop, this new musical is both fable and family history — and a testament to the determination born of love.

Silent Sky Central New York Playhouse Dana Comfort, director
Atonement Lutheran Church
116 W. Glen Ave.,
Syracuse
When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn't allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women "computers," charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in "girl hours" and has no time for the women's probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman's place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women's ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

Yarn The 443 Social Club
Price: $20 general admission The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave.,

You might expect a band that calls itself Yarn to, naturally, tend to spin a yarn or two. "That's what we do, we tell stories, live and in the studio, truth and fiction" singer/songwriter Blake Christiana insists. "We don't always opt for consistency. There's a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings. There's a difference in every show as well, you never know what you're going to get."

Inspired by the real life journey of author Brian Quijada's mother (Reina Quijada) from El Salvador to the U.S. and by L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Somewhere Over the Border embraces the factual and the fantastical in its depiction of one young girl's pursuit of the American dream. As Reina travels north to the Mexican border, she gathers friends, faces down dangers, and holds tight to the memory of the little boy she left behind. Set in the 1970s and propelled by Cumbia, Mexican Mariachi Boleros, American Rock, and Hip Hop, this new musical is both fable and family history — and a testament to the determination born of love.

In this witty and razor-sharp play, Ike Holter takes aim at a small group of millennial friends who are trying to move past childhood and nights of drunken revelry to contend with the demands of adulthood.

Part of Holter's series of plays set in a fictional neighborhood in Chicago, Sender asks, in this day and age, what does growing up mean and is it even desirable. Tickets

350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Curator Mary DiPrete brings together eight artists considering what it means to be making art in a time of uncertainty and chaos. Her exhibition statement, a poem composed from their deconstructed artist statements, eschews the standard linear description of artistic process in favor of a meditation on time and place that demands and rewards close attention. The works in the exhibition echo both this need for sustained focus and the sense of play with linear time, presenting it in a range of formal experiments that cover almost every possible experience, from the momentary to geologic, quotidian, familial, intimate and mythic. Artists include Sierra Haynes, Tamara Jordan, Lily LaGrange, Stefanos Schultz, Cara Crowley, Ze Tian, Greeshma Chenni Veettil, and Keyi Zhang, facilitated by Professor Laura Heyman.

Forever is Composed of Nows Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Whether artists respond to history or look to the future, creativity exists in the moment. Drawn from the Everson's permanent collection, Forever is Composed of Nows examines a multitude of snapshots of the present moment, grouped by theme, image, or idea across different time periods and media. By examining how artists spanning three centuries have approached their present — their now — using similar topics and motifs, this exhibition is a visual exploration of how values, societal customs, and art subjects have evolved over time.

Dawn Williams Boyd: Woe Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The sheer size of Dawn Williams Boyd's "cloth paintings" adds to their larger-than-life, often brutal subject matter. Her exhibition, Woe, is a collection of works that reflect a lifelong critique of social injustices and racial violence, epic battles with misogyny, and physical and psychological abuses of power. There is no such thing as neutral history. Using scraps of fabric, needles, and thread as her tools, Boyd painstakingly "paints" the entire surface of her quilts, layer upon layer, cutting, sewing, endlessly repurposing, building the surface into a formidable, authoritative source that pulls no punches.

The Struggle to Connect: A Call and Response Conversation on Race and Gender by Women Artists ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
This exhibition was developed from conversations between exhibit curator Vanessa Johnson and the late Marie Summerwood, local activist and ArtRage volunteer. While all women are oppressed as women, there has been an uneasy "her-story" between women of color and white women in the feminist movement. From the Women's Suffrage Movement to modern day voting patterns, there is a continuing divide based on an intersectionality of race, gender, and class. "The Struggle to Connect" is an invitational group exhibition featuring a racially diverse group of women artists from CNY and beyond. The exhibit will confront the differences between white feminism and the feminist issues of women of color and explore differences in experiences and perspectives. Participating artists include Kimberly Archer, Kathye Arrington, Ellen M. Blalock, Jacquelyn Maye Johnson, Vanessa Johnson, Robin Kasowitz, Lauren Miller, Susan W. Murphy, Sarah Pirtle, Mary Stanley, Caroline Tauxe, Laura Thorne, and Megan White.
