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.
