Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez: Dream Map and Cornucopia
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez is a Colombian American artist who explores her heritage through works that combine Colombia's material culture, history, and natural world. For the works featured in "Dream Map and Cornucopia," Friedemann-Sánchez begins with an image of a ceramic vessel that speaks to the complex history of Latin America and its diaspora. She then transforms these vessels into bountiful cornucopia, bursting with flora and fauna that evoke Colombia's rich ecosystems. Together with the Everson's Paul Phillips and Sharon Sullivan Curator of Ceramics, Garth Johnson, Friedemann-Sánchez has also selected an array of ceramic works from the Museum's permanent collection that reflect her interest in Latin America's tapestry of Indigenous and colonial cultures.

Najee Dorsey: Poor People’s Campaign
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Set in the layered world of Najee Dorsey's Poor People's Campaign, this powerful Afrofuturist vision grounded in the environmental struggles of today's impoverished communities. Blending Southern nostalgia with digitally-collaged speculative futures, Dorsey's work unveils a future shaped by environmental racism, industrial pollution, and the resilience of those who endure these atrocities. This exhibition challenges viewers to confront what's hidden in plain sight — smokestacks on the horizon, decaying landscapes, and children at play in dystopian backdrops, unaware, just going about their lives.

Each candid portrayal of a child, each scar of environmental injustice plaguing the earth, is a symbol of ongoing corporate greed, and a masterful fusion of futures transforming the landscape into an intimate battleground. Through these works Dorsey challenges us to consider the true cost of progress and unchecked power.

Sean Rowe is an American singer-songwriter, musician, recording artist, and forager. Rowe has a powerful sound with an emotional conviction that demands attention. NPR's All Songs Considered says of Rowe's vocals, "He can just crush granite with that voice. It's so powerful." The Wall Street Journal proclaimed, "Mr. Rowe's ringing baritone is as timeless as his approach, recalling the ecstatic intensity of late-'60s Van Morrison and stark subtlety of late-era Johnny Cash." Rowe has graced the stage of Mountain Jam, Wilco's Solid Sound Festival as well as opening for Robert Plant and the Alabama Shakes. Both an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and having his song, "To Leave Something Behind" featured in the film, "The Accountant", have expanded his voice to an international audience.

Preview: The Hello Girls
Syracuse Stage

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

A heroic new musical about connection in a time of conflict.

1918. As the world plunges further into unprecedented catastrophe, Grace Banker works as a telephone operator in New York City, proving herself more than capable in a male-dominated industry. But when the U.S. Army recruits her to lead a group of women directing communications on the frontlines in France, she and her fellow "Hello Girls" will have to prove themselves again and again if they are to convince the top brass — and the countr — that they belong in the fight. This new American musical reminds us that in the battle against hopelessness and hate, no weapon can match the power of the human spirit.

A heroic new musical about connection in a time of conflict.

1918. As the world plunges further into unprecedented catastrophe, Grace Banker works as a telephone operator in New York City, proving herself more than capable in a male-dominated industry. But when the U.S. Army recruits her to lead a group of women directing communications on the frontlines in France, she and her fellow "Hello Girls" will have to prove themselves again and again if they are to convince the top brass — and the countr — that they belong in the fight. This new American musical reminds us that in the battle against hopelessness and hate, no weapon can match the power of the human spirit.

Najee Dorsey: Poor People’s Campaign
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Set in the layered world of Najee Dorsey's Poor People's Campaign, this powerful Afrofuturist vision grounded in the environmental struggles of today's impoverished communities. Blending Southern nostalgia with digitally-collaged speculative futures, Dorsey's work unveils a future shaped by environmental racism, industrial pollution, and the resilience of those who endure these atrocities. This exhibition challenges viewers to confront what's hidden in plain sight — smokestacks on the horizon, decaying landscapes, and children at play in dystopian backdrops, unaware, just going about their lives.

Each candid portrayal of a child, each scar of environmental injustice plaguing the earth, is a symbol of ongoing corporate greed, and a masterful fusion of futures transforming the landscape into an intimate battleground. Through these works Dorsey challenges us to consider the true cost of progress and unchecked power.
