Nabil Harb's project "Mater si, magistra no" (a macaronic phrase that translates as "Mother yes, teacher no") presents photographs that describe and depict moments and scenes within his hometown of Lakeland in Polk County, FL. This Central Florida location is both the backdrop and main character of Harb's visual narrative: a story that emits surreal qualities which twist ideas of the region through photography's formal language into a conceptual idea — an idea of how to describe the atmosphere of a place without words. Harb writes, "The landscape is the perfect reflection of our society, our ultimate index — it holds our histories, our secrets, our failures, and our hopes for the future."

"Peppy Downer" draws exclusively from the Light Work Collection and pulls together works whose makers might have never imagined exhibiting together. It is a portrait through difference as much as similarity, but its music is a mixtape of our time, laid down by our importantly diverse and complicated cohort. Power to the people.

The exhibit contains a selection of photographs by Vikky Alexander, Mike Barth, Robert Benjamin, Phil Block, David Broda, John Collier, Larry Cook, Peter De Lory, Lucinda Devlin, Lydia Ann Douglas, Alex Harsley, Biff Henrich, Jeffrey Hoone, Saiman Li, Pipo Nguyen-duy, Diane Neumaier, Ernesto Pujol, Jon Reis, Patricia Reynolds, Coreen Simpson, Aaron Siskind, Lenard Smith, Miso Suchy, and James Welling.

316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

"Peppy Downer" draws exclusively from the Light Work Collection and pulls together works whose makers might have never imagined exhibiting together. It is a portrait through difference as much as similarity, but its music is a mixtape of our time, laid down by our importantly diverse and complicated cohort. Power to the people.

The exhibit contains a selection of photographs by Vikky Alexander, Mike Barth, Robert Benjamin, Phil Block, David Broda, John Collier, Larry Cook, Peter De Lory, Lucinda Devlin, Lydia Ann Douglas, Alex Harsley, Biff Henrich, Jeffrey Hoone, Saiman Li, Pipo Nguyen-duy, Diane Neumaier, Ernesto Pujol, Jon Reis, Patricia Reynolds, Coreen Simpson, Aaron Siskind, Lenard Smith, Miso Suchy, and James Welling.
