Asicaz Monzón-Aguirre: Invocations
1/29, Artist Talk: Asicaz Monzón-Aguirre, 5:30pm
Asicaz Monzón-Aguirre (b. 1987, Medellin) is an artist whose material-based visual practice analyzes the interplay between power, ethnicity, gender and land in the shaping of personal and collective identity. Their work has been shown widely internationally and they hold a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design (2009) and an MFA from Alfred University (2019). In Invocations , Monzón-Aguirre brings together artworks from the past five years that examine the relationship between ancestral land, spirituality, and contemporary understandings of the world. Anchored in personal experience and grounded in technique and culturally specific ornamental traditions, the work is nonetheless profoundly deliberate in its semioticity. Through meanings embedded in form, material, and medium, each work becomes a locus of subtle tension and resistance, quietly challenging narratives around gender, ethnicity, and neo-colonial dynamics. The works in Invocations demonstrate the artist’s command of ceramics while extending into video, textiles, and painting.

March 26 – April 23, Opening Reception: Ira Lombardía and Risham Majeed 5-6:30pm
Ira Lombardía is a Spanish multidisciplinary artist and researcher currently based in Syracuse, New York, where she teaches at Syracuse University. Her work operates at the intersection of photography, sculpture, and digital media, critically examining how we consume and archive images in a post-photographic era. Her work looks at political and social models that preserve power through visual hierarchical structures that exploit the land, seas, women, and people of the Global South as mere resources. Lombardía challenges traditional museum dynamics and explores themes of feminism and visual rhetoric. Her internationally acclaimed practice has been featured at major venues such as the SCAD Museum of Art, the Liverpool Biennial, and ARCO Madrid among many others.

Risham Majeed Exhibition Seminar
This exhibition visualizes the ancient trade routes between India, Africa, and Europe through a variety of objects, some original, and some in reproduction. We foreground the role of nomads in the movement of goods and ideas, and the emergence of Islam as a ”hinge” force that connected cultures in the pre-modern world.
