Continuity, Innovation, and Resistance: The Art of Peter B. Jones Link
August 24 - December 15, 2023
The Emily & Joe Lowe Galleries
The exhibition will feature the ceramic works by Onondaga artist Peter B. Jones that comment on and actively resist the impact of colonialism on Haudenosaunee communities, past and present.

Scriptorium con Safos: Syracuse Link
August 24, 2023 - May 12, 2024
Luise and Morton Kaish Gallery and Permanent Collection Galleries
Artist and art historian Josh T Franco stages a highly personal intervention in the Museum’s permanent collection galleries by developing the exhibition checklist and staging performances to activate the space. He takes on the fundamental method of compare and contrast, as championed by the nineteenth-century Swiss art historian Heinrich Wölfflin, in order to consider his place within the discipline. In doing so, he invites museum visitors, especially Syracuse University students, to consider their relationships to their fields of study.

Art Wall
The Art Wall Project at the Syracuse University Art Museum continues for its third presentation and will feature photographs and silk-screen prints made by Nona Faustine, a Brooklyn-based photographer. For this iteration, Faustine will consider the legacy of monuments in the United States and explore how, as she has described, “history is turned around. What is left out, what is included, what are the lies. And who gets celebrated.”
