Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94) is a participatory exhibition created by the Undocumented Migration Project, a non-profit organization that focuses on the social process of immigration and raises awareness through research, education, and outreach.The exhibit is composed of approximately 3,400 handwritten toe tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert from the mid-1990s to 2020. These tags are geolocated on a large wall map of the Arizona-Mexico border, showing the exact locations where human remains were found. The physical act of writing out the names and information for the dead invites participants to reflect, witness and stand in solidarity with those who have lost their lives in search of a better one. This exhibit is taking place at over 120 institutions across 6 continents with the intention to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis at America’s southern border and to engage with communities around the world in conversations about migration.The construction of HT94 is made possible by teams of volunteers from each hosting location, who participate in tag-filling workshops, where they write the details of the dead and then publicly place the tags on the map – in the exact location where each individual's remains were found. Some tags also contain QR codes that link to content related to migrant stories and visuals connected to immigration.

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.

Today's Events | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
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 TreibOpening reception Wednesday, Sept. 24, following the 4:30pm Art LectureCurated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesLearn more about the exhibition*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

This combination performance-presentation humorously explores the intersection of identity and authentic leadership through the lens of lived experience. Travis will examine how drag performance, often dismissed as mere entertainment, functions as a sophisticated form of political communication and community building, demonstrates the transfer value of key skills such as improvisation and crowd work, and shows how rural America is upending the dominant narratives that subconsciously restrict people from becoming leaders.Travis Barr-Longo currently serves as vice president of the Cazenovia Central School District Board of Education in Madison County, NY. He made history in 2024 as the first drag performer elected to public office in the United States, an unprecedented achievement representing a unique convergence of performance artistry, political leadership, and rural community organizing that challenges conventional narratives about both drag culture and small-town governance.As beauty starlet, vocalist, and emcee Anita Buffem, Travis spent over a decade as a celebrated entertainer and producer in New York City, where he earned critical acclaim from TimeOut NY, Gay City News, and the NY Daily News.Returning to his hometown of Cazenovia to care for his disabled mother at the beginning of the pandemic, what began as a journey of small business ownership led to the further transformation of his stagecraft into tools for civic engagement and inclusive leadership. As founder of Cazenovia Pride and co-owner of H. Grey Supply Co., a community gathering space, LGBTQ+ safe haven, and 2022 winner of Small Business of the Year from the SBDC, Travis demonstrates how authentic representation and strategic humor can bridge cultural, generational, and political divides in unexpected places

In a book-length poem called Tokyo Has Caught a Fever (1925), Takamure Itsue warned of the dangers of anti-Korean sentiment, fascism on Japan's horizon, and the possibility of a second world war. In landscapes that shift cinematically between grand vistas and minute details, she showed sympathy for colonized Koreans in Tokyo and a discerning eye for the different effects of power on the streets of the imperial capital.Presented by Nick Albertson, assistant professor of JapaneseRefreshments provided.
