2023/2024 Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence jackie sumell and Studio CAJAIR present “The Locker Room.”Artist jackie sumell works at the intersection of social sculpture, abolition and healing. With the principle of abolition always in mind, sumell inhabits the physical materials and architectures of oppression and transforms these physical structures into lived spaces of radical hope.For The Locker Room, a work created especially for Colgate University, sumell worked with a team of students who go by Studio CAJAIR (an anagrammatic nod to the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-In-Residence program, which underwrites this work). Together, sumell and Studio CAJAIR spent the academic year considering the relationship between athletics and activism, ultimately recreating the architecture of a locker room to envisage how sports and locker rooms can be horizons of liberation. They ask, “What happens if the locker room becomes public, seeded with the best of its potential? Can we make the lockers themselves altars to the future[s] we wish to see?”sumell and Studio CAJAIR, along with students they invited from Art & Activism (ARTS 132A), transformed 12 lockers into altars to future worlds. They imagine everything from ecological justice, racial equity, and classless societies to happiness after retirement, as wins.The Locker Room is presented by the Art Department and the Christian A. Johnson Foundation. The Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence was established in 1986 as a challenge grant in support of the arts at Colgate. The residency program permits one or more artists to become part of the Colgate community every academic year.Opening reception and gallery talk with jackie sumell and Studio CAJAIR will take place at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27.Please note that weekend gallery hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors. If driving a distance, please contact the department at 315-228-7633 during regular working hours to ensure the gallery will be open.Learn more at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/ - May 24:00 PMCiccone Commons Senior NightToday's Events | Donovan's Pub

The Colgate University Department of Theater presents the Spring Dance Concert: DIS/UNITY. This production is the culmination of THEA 371: Contemporary Dance in Performance. Students in this class worked together and individually in the creation of their own choreography while immersed in faculty and guest artist work. They collaborated with students in MUSI 208: Jazz Improvisation, under the direction of Professor Brian Stark, and brought additional students into the fold for guest artist Esther Baker-Tarpaga’s interdisciplinary work.The theme of DIS/UNITY is approached capaciously. It is presented across these works thematically, conceptually, and as a choreographic device. The artists consider the ruptures and continuities that characterize their relationships and lives in moments of transition. They question audience desires for cohesion and, in some cases, allow the seams to remain exposed. They merge disparate dance forms, artistic disciplines, and sounds, creating moments of harmony and those of dissonance.The performance will begin at Taylor Lake near Willow Path followed by a procession to Brehmer Theater in the Dana Arts Center.This event is co-sponsored by Colgate Arts Council, Department of Art, Department of Music, and Environmental Studies Program. - May 26:30 PMBrown Commons Spring Community DinnersToday's Events | Burke Hall, Burke Kitchen
