The virtual sessions—moderated by museum curatorial staff and faculty from the College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA)—enable the audience to listen to innovative and diverse visual artists discussing stimulating issues in culture today, including how the current events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have affected their art careers and message. Chosen for their creative brilliance and fresh perspectives, the speakers will share their vision, working process and insights on the societal, cultural and thematic trends they represent.

The first session, “Unfinished Journeys,” features Vanja Malloy, director of the museum, interviewing Helen Zughaib ’81. It’s Thursday, Aug. 6, from 4 to 5 p.m. ET. The event is free but registration is required at cc.syr.edu/artathome.

Helen Zughaib ’81 was born in Beirut, Lebanon, living mostly in the Middle East and Europe before coming to the United States to study art at Syracuse University. She paints primarily in gouache and ink on board and canvas. More recently, she has worked with wood, shoes and cloth and mixed media installations. Her work has been widely exhibited in galleries and museums in the United States, Europe and Lebanon. Her paintings are included in many private and public collections, including at the White House.

Jave Yoshimoto G’12 was born in Japan to Chinese parents, immigrating to the United States at a young age. Yoshimoto received his M.F.A. in painting from Syracuse University. He served as an artist-in-residence at various artist colonies across the United States. His work has appeared in multiple publications, and he has exhibited internationally. Among his honors, Yoshimoto received a letter of recognition from the United Nations and was awarded the Joan Mitchell Foundation’s Painters and Sculptors Grant in 2015. He is currently an assistant professor of arts and foundations coordinator at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
