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. Co-sponsored by Colgate Arts Council, University Studies, Environmental Studies, Film and Media Studies, Biology, Romance Languages and Literature, Geography, and HistoryPlease note: Husky will also be exhibiting a textile work entitled La Noble Pastoral in Picker Gallery's A Thought Is A Thread: Contemporary Artists Reworking Textile Traditions, on exhibit February 21 through May 18.*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors. If driving a distance, please contact the department (315-228-7633), during regular working hours, to ensure the gallery will be open. The gallery is not open during university breaks and holidays.

Although syntactic elements of music (notes, scales, etc.) are integral to all pathways of music education, the fundamental question music theory asks is not “what?”, but “why?” Out of an almost limitless palette of possibilities, why these notes? Why these chords? Why these keys? This talk illustrates this “why?” through analysis of three very different pieces—Richard Strauss’ opera Elektra (1909), Florence Price’s Piano Sonata in E minor (ca. 1932), and Stephen Schwartz’ musical Wicked (2003). My analytical interactions with these works intersect with issues of psychology, African American cultural heritage, and dramatic structure, and invite the audience to consider how an in-depth understanding of music and theory can reveal subtle yet meaningful connections between sounds, people, ideas, and societies across eras, genres, and cultural practices. Refreshments will be provided. All are welcome.

Narrated by Patrick Stewart, viewers witness an amazing variety of stars and peer into their secret lives. Some stars are massive. Others are tiny, nearly insignificant. The specific characteristics of a star will determine what type of life it will lead, how long it might live and even the type of death it will die.
