Hundreds of bills targeting trans* individuals are currently making their way through state legislative bodies. These range from bathroom bans to expulsion from sports teams to the denial of healthcare. Amid the increasingly hostile rhetoric and attempts to erase trans* and queer lives, the artists in this exhibition use a variety of media to tell powerful counternarratives about perseverance, vulnerability, and kinship among trans* and queer communities.The exhibition opens with a new live performance connecting art and athletics by Nicki Duval (they/them) and Robbie Trocchia (he/they), featuring figure skater Milk. Films exploring themes of transgender identity, visibility, bodies, and politics by multidisciplinary artist Cassils (he/they) are joined by an installation of exquisite cut-paper portraits by Antonius-Tín Bui (they/them). The works by these leading contemporary artists are complemented by a selection from the Picker collection that underlines the past, present, and future existence and vitality of trans* and queer artists.

This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia Treib.Opening reception Wednesday, September 24, following the 4:30pm Art Lecture.Curated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesMore information at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/holes/*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

Since 2020, the Graduate School Access Fund (GSAF) has provided advising and financial support for students who identify as low-income, first-generation, or historically excluded backgrounds who seek to pursue graduate education. This teaching table discussion will focus on the pivotal role faculty have played in helping to identify, refer, and support more than 110 GSAF fellows. Data will also be shared that demonstrates the program’s impact on students’ self-efficacy and admissions strategies. Participants can look forward to a robust discussion centered around the GSAF’s three key areas: assisting students to establish nurturing partnerships with faculty, effectively articulating postgraduate plans during the admissions process, and promoting a culture of peer support. We will conclude the session with a conversation of how to join more than 130 Colgate faculty — particularly those involved in student research — to support students to apply to the program or participate in the GSAF cohort discussions. We look forward to hearing suggestions and ideas from attendees regarding strategies to enhance the faculty-GSAF collaboration.To help us plan for an appropriate amount of food, we kindly as you to register for the event.
