Opening Reception: Friday, January 23, 2026, 5:00–8:00 pm

Part of M&T Fourth Friday at the Tri-Main Center

Millie Chen (Buffalo, NY/Ontario, Canada) will present a new series of drawings rooted in her years of walking along both banks of the Onguiaahra (Haudenosaunee) or Niagara River. These drawings focus on river sites that have historic and symbolic significance that go unmarked, such as the Underground Railroad ferry crossing landing and archaeological sites where Genesee, Meadowood, Lamoka, Iroquoian, and Nanticoke artifacts were unearthed. Chen uses the turbulence created by disturbances under the water surface to explore the potency of the invisible and the erased.

Victoria-Idongesit Udondian, Nsinam me ke ndi Owo

Opening Reception: Friday, January 23, 2026, 5:00–8:00 pm

Nsinam me ke ndi Owo is a solo exhibition by Victoria-Idongesit Udondian at Buffalo Arts Studio, featuring a multisensory installation of mixed-media works spanning textile, sculpture, video, and sound. Drawing from her experiences growing up in Nigeria, a nation shaped by post-colonial exchange and inundated with castoffs from the West, Udondian interrogates culturalidentity, migration, and the legacies of global trade systems that govern the movement of goods and people across borders.
