Reckonings: American Art and the Slow Violence of Climate Change

Reckonings offers a critical look at how U.S. artists have pictured the relationship between humans and the environment.

Curated by incoming M.A. students in art history in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences, and under the direction of Associate Professor Sascha Scott, this timely exhibition reckons with the visual, economic, and political forces that have contributed to slow violence in the United States, which has been driven by capitalism and disproportionately effects the poor and disempowered.
