"Fruits of Their Labor" seeks to reexamine depictions of labor and leisure in the Syracuse University Art Museum's permanent collection. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic problems in the workplace, mirroring the societal shifts in the labor industry during the Great Depression. Through thematic groupings such as those that depict women's work in and out of the home or behind the scenes views into the entertainment industry, this exhibition challenges conventional depictions of labor.

"Joiri Minaya: Unseeing the Tropics at the Museum" brings together artwork by the acclaimed New York City-based Dominican artist and objects from the collection to examine how Minaya critiques Western ideas of tropicality, which are rooted in otherness and exoticism. Through these comparisons, the exhibition explores how nature, landscape, culture, and race have been historically constructed and deployed as tropes in visual culture.

This exhibition examines the role of Surrealism in modern photography, tracking the movement's love of chance, fragmentation, and uncanny dream imagery from its origins in Paris to Britain, Mexico, and Japan over the course of the 20th century. Curated by graduate students in the Department of Art & Music Histories under the direction of Sam Johnson (associate professor and director of graduate studies in Art History), the exhibition features photographs from collections of the SU Art Museum alongside Surrealist books and periodicals from the Special Collections Research Center of the Syracuse University Libraries.
