4/4-4/6/25- Evil Does Not Exist, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Japan,2023, 106 min.
In the rural alpine hamlet of Mizubiki, not far from Tokyo,Takumi and his daughter, Hana, lead a modest life gathering water, wood, andwild wasabi for the local udon restaurant. Increasingly, the townsfolk becomeaware of a talent agency’s plan to build an opulent glamping site nearby,offering city residents a comfortable “escape” to the snowy wilderness. Whentwo company representatives arrive and ask for local guidance, Takumi becomesconflicted in his involvement, as it becomes clear that the project will have apernicious impact on the community. Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s follow up to hisAcademy Award-winning DRIVE MY CAR is a foreboding fable on humanity'smysterious, mystical relationship with nature. As sinister gunshots echo fromthe forest, both the locals and representatives confront their life choices andthe haunting consequences they have.

4/25-4/27/25- Sarraounia, Med Hondo, 1986, 122min.
Director Med Hondo unflinchingly depicts the horrors ofcolonial occupation and conflict with a realistic, epic style, to adaptAbdoulaye Mamani’s Sarraounia, a historical novel about the West African Battleof Lougou. With an incisive eye toward the psychology of warfare, Hondo chartsthe brutal arrogance of French commanders Captain Paul Voulet and LieutenantJulien Chanoine, as well as the fierce determination of Sarraounia, the titularAzna queen, a revered leader who inspires her people to fight the French armywhen most of the surrounding tribes have made deals with the invaders or joinedtheir forces. Ready to meet her adversaries on the battlefield to defend hertribe and its way of life, native oral history claims she was a witch who couldhurl fire at the invaders and any crops that were blazed to ash regrewovernight with more than enough food to keep the warriors going. Rarelyscreened today, Sarraounia remains one of the greatest experiments inhistorical-surrealism to come from Africa.

Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy
Organized by The New York Historical
February 27–June 14, 2025
T-S Noon-4 p.m. | TR Noon-7 p.m.
Main galleries | Free Admission
The Art Museum presents Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy,organized by The New York Historical, on view February 27 to June 14, 2025. The exhibition explores public monuments and their representations as points of debate over national identity, politics, and race. Monuments offers a historical foundation for understanding recent controversies, featuring fragments of a torn-down statue of King George III, a replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage, and a maquette of New York City’s first public monument to a Black woman (Harriet Tubman), among other objects. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated, attacked, protested, altered, and removed.
Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy is curated by Wendy Nālani E. Ikemoto, Vice President and Chief Curator at The New York Historical. The exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support is provided at by the Office of the Provost, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Harpur College Dean’s Office, the Fund for Excellence, the Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls, and Rebecca Moshief and Harris Tilevitz ’78.

Existential Color: Photography from the PermanentCollection
February 27–June 14, 2025
T-S Noon-4 p.m. | TR Noon-7 p.m.
Mezzanine Gallery| Free Admission
Existential Color: Photography from the Permanent Collection, organized by John Tagg, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Art History and Luisa Casella, Photograph Conservator, Fellow of American Institute for Conservation. In 1976, John Szarkowski, Director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, hailed the arrival of a “new generation of color photographers” who saw color as “existential,” “as though the world itself existed in color.” This “new generation” included William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz, whose work here prompts a wider re-examination of color in Art Museum’s photographs collection. Within this exhibition, which features works made between the mid 1970s and the early 2000s, a display of historical processes dating back to the mid-nineteenth century shows that color was an integral part of photographic expression from its very beginnings. What viewers are asked is whether Szarkowski’s notion of a decisive break holds up, or whether the question of color and photography has to be seen from a much longer and broader historical perspective.
