Curator’s Tour: Contested Territories
Everson Museum of Art

Price: Pay what you wish
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Join Everson Museum Director & CEO, Elizabeth Dunbar, for an enriching guided tour of the special exhibition "Joyce Kozloff: Contested Territories, 1983-2023." Learn about contemporary artist Joyce Kozloff, a founding figure of the Pattern and Decoration movement, whose work combines meticulous craftsmanship with political critique. For more than four decades, Kozloff has explored how the entanglements of geography, history, and power influence the visual language of maps, and how maps shape our understanding of the world — not as neutral tools, but as instruments of influence, ideology, and control. Explore how Kozloff reimagines educational globes and deconstructs colonial-era charts, transforming maps from static documents into contested, dynamic spaces, encouraging viewers to reconsider how borders are drawn as well as how art can reclaim such boundaries as sites of resistance, memory, and possibility.
