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.

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.

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.

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 new play by Matthew Labanca reveals the reality of unjust firings of Catholic employees based on sexual orientation. The play tells the true story of a long-time Catholic school teacher who marries the man he loves only to be fired by the church, upending his faith and unsettling his entire community. Based on the real-life story of Broadway actor and playwright Matthew LaBanca, Communion is a powerful solo show that spotlights themes of delusion, spiritual trauma, and hope, reminding those who would use religion to discriminate against LGBTQIA+ people that the most basic tenet of a spiritual life is that we are called to love one another.
