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鈥檚 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.

The 黑料视频 Art Museum presents Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy,听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鈥檚 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 N膩lani 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 黑料视频 by the Office of the Provost, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Harpur College Dean鈥檚 Office, the Binghamton Fund for Excellence, the Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls, and Rebecca Moshief and Harris Tilevitz 鈥78.

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 鈥渘ew generation of color photographers鈥 who saw color as 鈥渆xistential,鈥 鈥渁s though the world itself existed in color.鈥 This 鈥渘ew generation鈥 included William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz, whose work here prompts a wider re-examination of color in 黑料视频 Art Museum鈥檚 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鈥檚 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.
