Colgate University Women's Basketball vs Patriot League Semifinals - Mar 1310:30 AMSuzanne Husky ExhibitionToday's Events | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
For alliances with the beaver people features an 11 meter-long embroidered tapestry that illustrates key moments in the history of beaver-human relationships, tracing how rivers evolve through collaborations between these two species. An explicit reference to the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry that depicted 58 unique scenes of battle, Husky’s work uses this tapestry form to visualize cross-species mutuality and regeneration rather than battle. The exhibition also features a documentary film about the Vermont naturalist Patti Smith, who takes us into her world of beaver friends and teachers. For the exhibition reception on February 12, Husky will be joined by a panel of researchers, writers, and naturalists (including Patti Smith) to discuss beaver ecologies and the future of their watersheds.In collaboration with Picker Art Gallery.

Programmed by Kathy High, 72 minArtists Ximena Cuevas and Ricardo Nicolayevsky helped shape a generation of film and video makers in Mexico City. Ximena and Ricardo created their own cinematic styles, pushing cultural critique and video experimentation while embracing queer approaches to their medium. Both artists had been around the art world all their lives. Their influences were particularly poignant in the 1990s, displaying courage and vulnerability and imagining new ways to be in the world. Ximena’s 1990s original works were playful and incisive treatments of reality television, obsession with fame and wealth, exploitation, dreams, and tragedies that broke the boundaries of video art, alternative storytelling, and imagined futures. Ricardo rediscovered films he had shot in New York City in the early 1980s and released them in the 1990s. These films, with in-camera film experimentation throughout, were beautiful homages to his friends, which also captured an era of queer youth, absurd beauty, and idealism just prior to the AIDS epidemic.Co-sponsored by the Art Department
