Saloni Parekh: "God, Otherwise"

On View: February 26—March 26, 2026

The Department of Art and Design hosts a lecture and exhibition opening reception by Saloni Parekh, visiting assistant professor of studio art at Oberlin College.

An artist lecture will take place from 5-6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26, in FA 258. An opening reception will follow from 6-7 p.m. in the Rosefsky Gallery, FA 259.

Parekh's exhibition "God, Otherwise” invites viewers to engage with god beyond the constraints of fixed imagery, inherited dogmas, and historical structures of power. Rather than offering a definition, Parekh’s work approaches god as an open-ended question, an understanding actively constructed and realized through the act of painting, in an effort to find who god is and what god looks like.

All events are free and open to the public.

Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking Tony and Pulitzer Prize -winning musical RENT returns in a powerful new symphonic concert version.

With a live cast, full band, and symphonic arrangements, RENT in Concert reimagines the beloved rock musical in a bold and moving format. This production brings Larson’s raw, emotional score to life with a new sonic depth while staying true to its story of community, love, loss, and resilience in the face of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Fans of the original will find this concert both familiar and fresh; an homage to a show that defined a generation and continues to speak powerfully today.

Nina Beguš, Lecturer at the Center for Science, Technology, Medicine & Society at UC Berkeley, will join the speaker series Critical Perspectives on AI, Data, and Narrative with a talk on the cultural, philosophical, and ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence. The talk examines how fictional narratives shape our understanding of computational technologies and how the humanities can offer critical tools for interpreting AI’s development. Drawing on literature, media theory, and the history of science, Beguš traces connections from Pygmalion’s Eliza Doolittle to Weizenbaum’s ELIZA, moving through works such as Richard Powers’s Galatea 2.2 and the films Her and Ex Machina, before turning to contemporary large language models. The case raises questions about how stories inform technological imaginaries, and how humanistic approaches can illuminate the cultural and philosophical implications of machines that use human languages.

France/Germany/Guinea-Bissau/Portugal | 2017 At once archive, memory, and cinematic voyage, Spell Reel traces a sea change in post-colonial African cinema through the collaboration of Portuguese filmmaker Filipa César and Guinean directors Sana na N'Hada and Flora Gomes. During Guinea-Bissau's war of independence (1963–74), N'Hada and Gomes documented the liberation struggle, working under Amílcar Cabral's decolonizing vision and trained by radical filmmaker Chris Marker. Decades later, César joins them as they return to those original sites, screening the footage for local audiences—many seeing it for the first time in fifty years. Spell Reel becomes both an evocation of revolutionary cinema's spirit and a living archive of its improbable emergence: cinema as collective memory, as pedagogy, as antidote to our current crisis.

Men on Boats hilariously reimagines John Wesley Powell’s 1869 river expedition, brought to life by female-identifying and non-binary performers. The play flips the script on masculine myths of conquest, using comedy and theatrical invention to reveal the untold truths beneath America’s “heroic” history.

María Onetto plays a woman whose perfect life may be a dream or whose nightmare accident (was that a child her car hit? a dog? or nothing?) may indicate that her entire existence lacks reality. Critics have referenced David Lynch and Luis Buñuel as forerunners for the kind of hyper-reality the film exudes. When the film played at the 2008 New York Film Festival, the Village Voice’s J. Hoberman wrote: “The third feature by Lucrecia Martel, leading director of the Argentine renaissance, is her strongest to date — at the very least, this brilliantly edited, purposefully disorienting comedy about a middle-aged woman’s post-car-accident confusion is the movie I’m most looking forward to revisiting.”

Bagpipes with attitude.  Drums with a Scottish accent. 

It’s The Red Hot Chilli Pipers (that’s Pipers, NOT Peppers!), the nine piece ensemble of pipers, guitarists, keys and drummers who rock the world with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that leaves audiences and band alike breathless. 

Since they walked away with the top prize on the U.K. primetime talent show, “When Will I Be Famous” in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven't stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes! Formed in 2002, The Chillis have become a global phenomenon, taking their signature 'bagrock' sound to the masses with their unique fusion of rocked up bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs from all genres. Their trademark sound is a unique fusion of traditional pipe tunes like “The Flowers of Scotland” and contemporary anthems like Queen’s “We Will Rock You.” The band has four music degrees from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and all the pipers and drummers have played at the top level in bagpiping.

The Pipers have sold out the Anderson Center twice before and we can’t wait to welcome them back to celebrate St. Patrick’s Weekend in 2026!

This performance will feature a special onstage collaboration between the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and local bagpipe groups.

USA | 2025 Through landscapes and canvases, Armand Yervant Tufenkian’s debut feature In the Manner of Smoke traces how perception shifts over time. Moving between California’s Sequoia National Forest and painter Dan Hays' London-based studio, the film observes two solitary practices: the vigilance of a fire lookout and the meticulous rendering of digital landscapes. The camera dwells on subtle transformations, such as trees dissolving into haze, paintings oscillating between pixels and depth, and silence unfolding into sound, allowing each moment to stretch and change before our eyes. Rather than telling a linear story, the film creates a patient, immersive experience where every image feels transitory, suspended, and fleeting, like smoke carried by the wind.

USA | 2025 Through landscapes and canvases, Armand Yervant Tufenkian’s debut feature In the Manner of Smoke traces how perception shifts over time. Moving between California’s Sequoia National Forest and painter Dan Hays' London-based studio, the film observes two solitary practices: the vigilance of a fire lookout and the meticulous rendering of digital landscapes. The camera dwells on subtle transformations, such as trees dissolving into haze, paintings oscillating between pixels and depth, and silence unfolding into sound, allowing each moment to stretch and change before our eyes. Rather than telling a linear story, the film creates a patient, immersive experience where every image feels transitory, suspended, and fleeting, like smoke carried by the wind.

Cinema Department's Visiting Artist Series Lynne Sachs: Lynne Sachs is a filmmaker and poet living in Brooklyn. She has produced over 50 films as well as numerous live performances, installations and web projects. Sachs creates cinematic works that defy genre through the use of hybrid forms and cross-disciplinary collaboration, incorporating elements of the essay film, collage, performance, documentary and poetry. Her films explore the intricate relationship between personal observations and broader historical experiences. With each project, Lynne investigates the implicit connection between the body, the camera, and the materiality of film itself. Lynne discovered her love of filmmaking while living and studying in San Francisco. During this time, she produced her early, experimental works on celluloid which took a feminist approach to the creation of images and writing— a commitment which has grounded her body of work ever since. Sachs's films have screened at MoMA, Wexner Center for the Arts, New York Film Festival, Sundance, Punto de Vista, and DocLisboa. Retrospectives of her work have been presented at MoMI, Ambulante, Sheffield Doc/Fest, BAFICI, Cork, Costa Rica Int'l Film Fest, Cámara Lúcida, and China Women's Film Festival. In 2021, Edison and Prismatic Ground Film Festivals honored her body of work in the experimental and documentary fields. Tender Buttons Press published Lynne's book Year by Year Poems (2019), In 2025, Punctum Books published her book Hand Book: A Manual on Performance, Process and the Labor of Laundry (2025) written by Sachs and playwright Lizzie Olesker.

Saloni Parekh: "God, Otherwise"
Parekh's exhibition "God, Otherwise” invites viewers to engage with god beyond the constraints of fixed imagery, inherited dogmas, and historical structures of power. Rather than offering a definition, Parekh’s work approaches god as an open-ended question, an understanding actively constructed and realized through the act of painting, in an effort to find who god is and what god looks like.

Join Binghamton University Art Museum for Puzzle & Play Night in the Main Gallery.

Get in touch with your inner architect! Frank Lloyd Wright discussed the role wooden Froebel blocks played in his development, and described the tactile experience of playing with blocks as a child as “the sense which never afterward leaves the fingers.” And Wright's son, John Lloyd Wright, invented the popular building block toys Lincoln Logs! We'll have these toys and more for you to tinker with.
