Lawrence Abu Hamdan: Walled Unwalled
Urban Video Project

Price: Free
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Light Work's Urban Video Project (UVP) presents Walled Unwalled, an exhibition by 2019 Turner Prize recipient Lawrence Abu Hamdan. The work is on view at UVP's outdoor projection site on the north facade of the Everson Museum of Art, beginning at dusk.

In our solid, everyday world, the invisible surrounds us. Heat waves, sound waves, radio waves, tiny particles called muons — they seep through walls carrying information that used to surveil, to exonerate, or to incriminate. They can even become weapons. Walled Unwalled comprises an interlinking series of narratives that derive from legal cases whose evidence individuals heard or experienced through walls or doors, bleeding through these seemingly impermeable barriers.

Lecture
 

7:30 PM, March 27



*CANCELLED* Claiming Space: A Conversation About Empowerment, Entrepreneurship, and Making Your Own Way
University Lectures
Featuring Elaine Welteroth

Price: Free
Hendricks Chapel
Syracuse University, Syracuse

University Lectures welcomes New York Times bestselling author, award-winning journalist and former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue Elaine Welteroth

Elaine Welteroth will take part in an on-stage conversation with alumna Kori Hale, CEO and co-founder of CultureBanx, at 6 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

A book signing featuring Welteroth's best-selling book, More Than Enough: Claiming Space for Who You Are (No Matter What They Say), will be held in the chapel's narthex following the discussion.

Throughout her meteoric 10-year magazine career, Welteroth broke new ground as the youngest person and only the second African American in Condé Nast's 107-year history to hold the title of editor-in-chief. In this role, she brought social consciousness to the pages of Teen Vogue and transformed the teen title into a credible news source.

Previously, Welteroth held senior roles at Glamour and Ebony. In 2012, she became Conde Nast's first-ever African American beauty director. She's now a leading expert, advocate and voice for the next generation of change makers, bringing her fresh perspective to scripted and unscripted projects in TV and film.

From writing on hit shows like "Grown-ish" to appearing on-air from ABC News to Netflix, "The View," "Project Runway" and "E!," Welteroth continues blazing a career path that breaks the mold, inspiring a new generation of creative entrepreneurs.

Kori Hale is CEO and co-founder of CultureBanx, a digital news platform redefining business and tech news for minorities through music. Her online platform delivers high-quality content focused on market-driven stories, innovative products and services that culture leads the way in transforming. She is also a leading contributor to Forbes, covering the intersection of business and culture.

Prior to starting CultureBanx, Hale was part of the launch team for digital media millennial news company Cheddar. Previously, she was a producer for CNBC's top-rated shows "Squawk on the Street" and "Squawk Alley." Before joining CNBC, Hale was an international producer for Bloomberg TV and a financial correspondent for TheStreet.com.

She holds the distinction of being the first black woman to anchor a daily news show from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. She graduated from the Newhouse School with a master's degree in broadcast and digital journalism.

Syracuse Stage

Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Mickey Rowe (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time) returns to Syracuse Stage to take on the role of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in this contemporary favorite about artistic rivalry and suspected murder. Antonio Salieri has pledged his life to God in exchange for success as a composer. Yet the music that most captures God's voice comes not from Salieri, but from the prodigy Mozart. Could jealousy have driven Salieri to murder this "obscene child" who is unworthy of the musical genius he possesses? On the eve of his own death, Salieri reveals his final composition: "The Death of Mozart—or, Did I Do It?" Well, did he or didn't he? An enticing and enjoyable theatrical experience enhanced by a variety of musical events in partnership with Symphoria.

*POSTPONED* Fences
Redhouse
Ted Lange, director

Redhouse at City Center
400 S. Salina St., Syracuse

Fences is the sixth chapter in August Wilson's groundbreaking 10-play cycle of the African-American experience in the 20th century. The play depicts the life of Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball player, thwarted in his dreams of a Major League career, who struggles to provide for his family and break free from the boundaries imposed upon him. But in 1957, his son Cory, an emerging football star, sees the world through very different eyes, and his wife Rose yearns for an outlet for her love. With the intersection of old prejudices and changing opportunities, Fences is a powerful drama filled with passionate love and thundering rage, generous laughter and searing pain.

*CANCELLED* A Grand Night for Singing
Syracuse University Drama Department

Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Many of the most beloved, uplifting, and romantic songs in musical theatre history have one thing in common: the incomparable writing team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. A Grand Night For Singing is a musical review that collects over 30 treasured works from Rodgers and Hammerstein hits such as Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The Sound of Music, Carousel, The King and I, and Cinderella, as well as lesser-known shows like Allegro, Flower Drum Song, and Pipe Dream. Audiences are invited to experience these classics anew through artful arrangements and clever interpretations—it's "something wonderful" for any lover of classic musical theater.

*POSTPONED* Fences
Redhouse
Ted Lange, director

Redhouse at City Center
400 S. Salina St., Syracuse

Fences is the sixth chapter in August Wilson's groundbreaking 10-play cycle of the African-American experience in the 20th century. The play depicts the life of Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball player, thwarted in his dreams of a Major League career, who struggles to provide for his family and break free from the boundaries imposed upon him. But in 1957, his son Cory, an emerging football star, sees the world through very different eyes, and his wife Rose yearns for an outlet for her love. With the intersection of old prejudices and changing opportunities, Fences is a powerful drama filled with passionate love and thundering rage, generous laughter and searing pain.
