Propositions to Progress: A Working Atlas of the Global South (March 24, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119224 119224-21844674@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2024 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Historically, maps have served as a panoptic technology, assisting imperial powers in governance, discipline, and control. In this exhibit, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.

Dayrit’s artworks, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps, plot the extraction of natural resources, land grabbing, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.

Dayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural, urban, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.

Cian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography, archaeology, history, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state, museum, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives (March 24, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119219 119219-21842982@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2024 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.

< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >

This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 24, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835625@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion (March 24, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119221 119221-21842415@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2024 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In Andrea Carlson Future Cache, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  

Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Special thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Margaret Noodin, and Richard A. Wiles, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, U-M Clements Library, and U-M Clark Map Library.

Care in Uncertain Times

As crises of public health, economic instability, authoritarian regimes, racial injustice, and climate change spread around the globe, millions are experiencing distress, conflict, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases, weapon wounds, and malnutrition.

This exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M Office of the President, National Endowment for the Arts, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and U-M Ross School of Business.

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and the Oakriver Foundation.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (March 24, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 84303-21621242@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

We Write To You About Africa (March 24, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 84304-21622099@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. 

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 

We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The *28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons* (March 19 - April 2, 2024) showcases the hard work and talents of artists incarcerated in Michigan prisons.

The work is by men and women from all 25 state prisons in both the upper and the lower peninsulas: 24 men’s prisons and 1 women’s prison.

This year there are hundreds of works in two and three dimensions, including portraits, tattoo imagery, landscapes, fantasy, and wildlife as well as images about incarceration and visions that are entirely new.

The artwork you see at the exhibit is a testament to the resilience of artists and the life-giving power of art under the most difficult of circumstances–incarceration, isolation, and unimaginable loss. It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all, in the free world and behind the walls.

We invite you to enjoy the work and, if you like, make a purchase. All proceeds, minus necessary taxes and fees, go directly to the artists.

The exhibition opens March 19th:
5:00 PM Gallery/sales open
5:30 PM Reception & light refreshments
6:30 PM Celebration program begins
*Free accessible shuttle service available on opening night*
*4:30 - 8:30 PM, running every half-hour*

Join exhibition curator Felix Zamora Gomez for an exploration of A Gathering, an exhibition of the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. In addition, new works of art were added to this exhibition in December 2023. As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

A one-act chamber opera based on Peter Ackroyd's "downright exhilarating" (*LA Times*) novel, *The Trial of Elizabeth Cree*.

Set in London in the 1880s, this highly suspenseful and theatrical opera interweaves several narratives: the trial of the titular heroine for the poisoning of her husband; a series of brutal murders committed by a Jack the Ripper-style killer; the spirited world of an English music hall; and, finally, some “guest appearances” by luminaries from the Victorian Age. *Elizabeth Cree* is a work that combines the factual with the fictional and the historical with the imaginary.

Originally produced by Opera Philadelphia in September 2017

Composed by Kevin Puts
Libretto by Mark Campbell
Sung in English
Directed by Gregory Keller
Conducted by Kirk Severtson

FUN FACTS: Composer Kevin Puts and librettist Mark Campbell previously teamed up on the Pulitzer Prize-winning *Silent Night*.

Location: Walgreen Drama Center
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

*"With Love, From Inside"* is an original play crafted by independent study theatre students and formerly incarcerated performers participating in the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP). This production grew out of the students’ sadness that so many people in the free world will never get to know the extraordinary individuals who live inside the walls. This play vividly recounts stories that incarcerated PCAP participants wanted to share with audiences outside prisons.

*"With Love, From Inside”* blurs the boundaries between incarcerated and free people, exploring the shared joys and struggles that all of us face. The play furthers the continuum of PCAP’s weekly workshops for incarcerated theatre makers, in which university volunteers carry stories and life experiences from the free world into prisons. In this production, the performers do the reverse and bring the joys, sorrows, triumphs, and struggles of incarcerated people to free world audiences. In doing so, the performers widen the sphere of influence that incarcerated change makers have on the minds and hearts of others.

The performance is FREE and open to the public.
*Free accessible shuttle service available the day of the performance from 10:30 AM-5:00 PM, running every half-hour*
*Loops to the performance from the Plymouth Rd. Park & Ride (3700 Plymouth Rd., right off of US-23)*

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass), the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes.

The collectors, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets, antique shops, and websites, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.

Organized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.

Learn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM

The exhibit opens on September 15, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power, a cadre of European Jews—German, Polish, Hungarian, Austrian, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer, journalist, painter, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.

They did, however, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.

Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille, France on May 7, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary, Belgium, France, and Germany: Ilse Bing, Josef Breitenbach, Boris Lipnitsky, Charles Leirens, Yolla Niclas, Fred Stein, Monie Tannen, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.

This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world, seeing it through European eyes.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Historically, maps have served as a panoptic technology, assisting imperial powers in governance, discipline, and control. In this exhibit, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.

Dayrit’s artworks, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps, plot the extraction of natural resources, land grabbing, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.

Dayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural, urban, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.

Cian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography, archaeology, history, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state, museum, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Organized By: University Library

This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.

< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >

This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.

In the United States, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized, under despotic rule, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students, and students who became mentors to new students, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.

View the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library, Tappan Hall, 855 S. University Ave.

Garden Repairs (March 25, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116759 116759-21837923@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 25, 2024 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

About the installation:
Garden Repairs is an installation of paper textiles that loosely narrate the life cycle of plants. It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment.

About the artist:
Susan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature, culture, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection, documentation, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats, including installation, video, prints, and drawings, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.

Campbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Queens Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Drawing Center, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.

Campbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts, the Jentel Foundation, Beisinghoff Print Residency, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, New York Public Library, Detroit Institute of Arts, Toledo Museum of Art, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

My Gender States (March 25, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116487 116487-21837091@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 25, 2024 9:00am

Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

On display at Lane Hall, Rogério M. Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In "My Gender States," Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister.

Using autoethnography, Pinto created a one-person play ("Marília," 2015) and site-specific installation performance ("The Realm of the Dead," 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas, gender states, and his life experience—a story of the struggles, fears, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In "Realm," audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he, a queer immigrant, carried with him. "My Gender States" is a selection of materials, images, and texts from "Marília" and "Realm" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states, gender confusion, gender embodiments, gender doubt, and reactions to gender stigma.

Rogério M. Pinto (Brazilian, American, b. 1965, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work; and Professor of Theatre and Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.

The photographs used in "My Gender States" are by Emerson Granillo (American, b. 1987); David Newton (American, b. 1993); and Nicholas Williams (American, b. 1994). The "Realm" assemblages featured in "My Gender States" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner.

"My Gender States" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor, 204 S State St) from January 23, to August 13, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.

Hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 25, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835626@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 25, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 18
Organized By: North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program

Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as
scribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding, augmenting, slicing, repeating, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception, sympathy, hierarchy, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.

Peter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies

Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The *28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons* (March 19 - April 2, 2024) showcases the hard work and talents of artists incarcerated in Michigan prisons.

The work is by men and women from all 25 state prisons in both the upper and the lower peninsulas: 24 men’s prisons and 1 women’s prison.

This year there are hundreds of works in two and three dimensions, including portraits, tattoo imagery, landscapes, fantasy, and wildlife as well as images about incarceration and visions that are entirely new.

The artwork you see at the exhibit is a testament to the resilience of artists and the life-giving power of art under the most difficult of circumstances–incarceration, isolation, and unimaginable loss. It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all, in the free world and behind the walls.

We invite you to enjoy the work and, if you like, make a purchase. All proceeds, minus necessary taxes and fees, go directly to the artists.

The exhibition opens March 19th:
5:00 PM Gallery/sales open

Causal Effects of Early Career Sorting on Labor and Marriage Market Choices: A Foundation for Gender Disparities and Norms

Abstract: We study whether and how early labor market choices determine longer-run career versus family outcomes differentially for male and female professionals. We analyze the physician labor market by exploiting a randomized lottery that determines the sorting of Danish physicians into internships across local labor markets. Using administrative data spanning ten years after physicians’ graduations, we find causal effects of early-career sorting on a range of life cycle outcomes that cascade from labor market choices, including human capital accumulation and occupational choice, to marriage market choices, including matching and fertility. The persistent effects are entirely concentrated among women, whereas men experience only temporary career disruptions. The evidence points to differential family-career tradeoffs and the mentorship employers provide as channels underlying this gender divergence. Our findings have implications for policies aimed at gender equality in outcomes, as they reveal how persistent gaps can arise even in institutionally gender-neutral settings with early-stage equality of opportunity.

Itzik Fadlon is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of California, San Diego and a Research Associate in the programs on Aging and Public Economics at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His primary fields of interest are public finance, health economics, and labor/family economics. His work studies household behavior and the effects of government policies, as well as how these impacts on households' behavior translate to the optimal design of social policies. A main agenda in his research focuses on studying economic and health disparities across race/ethnicity, gender, and geography, and how to design well-targeted public policies to enhance the livelihood of underrepresented groups and traditionally underserved communities. His work has been published in leading journals such as American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, American Economic Review, Journal of Health Economics, Journal of Public Economics, and Review of Economics and Statistics. Itzik received his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University in May 2015. Before joining UCSD in 2016 as an Assistant Professor, Itzik spent a year as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Disability Policy Research at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and he spent the academic year of 2019-2020 as a Visiting Scholar in Aging and Health Research at the NBER funded by NIH/NIA.

In times of crisis, risk pooling can enhance the resilience of individuals, households, and communities. Risk pooling systems are most effective when their participants adhere to several principles: (1) participants should agree that the pool is for needs that arise unpredictably, not for routine, predictable needs; (2) giving to those in need should not create an obligation for them to repay; (3) participants should not be not expected to help others until they have taken care of their own needs; (4) participants should have a consensus about what constitutes need; (5) resources should be either naturally visible or made visible to reduce cheating; (6) individuals should be able to decide which partners to accept; and (7) the scale of the network should be large enough to cover the scale of risks. We discuss the cultural and evolutionary foundations of risk pooling systems, their vulnerabilities, and their relationship to commercial insurance.

Location: West Hall
Organized By: HEP - Astro Seminars

Having achieved their original design sensitivity, the Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detectors are now observing multiple transients from binary black hole and neutron star collisions every week. For the first time we can now optimize future upgrades and detectors with good guidance on observable signals. Intriguingly, it is feasible to observe binary black hole mergers throughout cosmic times, all the way back to mergers of remnants of the first stars.

This talk will discuss the design work for Cosmic Explorer, which is now underway with NSF funding support. I will highlight some exciting aspects of the detector technology behind Cosmic Explorer, such as its quantum-enhanced readout operating a factor of 3 below the standard quantum limit, and prospects of new crystalline optical coating materials to lower thermal noise. Along the way I will discuss project timeline, challenges, and milestones – both technological and political.

Bio: Stefan Ballmer is a Professor of Physics at Syracuse University. He serves as Instrument Science R&D Coordinator for the Cosmic Explorer project and has been designing, building, and upgrading gravitational-wave detectors for two decades. He received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. sballmer.expressions.syr.edu

2024 Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series (March 25, 2024 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/119498 119498-21842837@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 25, 2024 3:30pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Classical Studies

Presented by Rubina Raja
Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art Centre Director, Centre for Urban Network Evolutions

The 2024 Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures focus on the rich and complex urban cultures in the Roman and Late Antique Near East but also make excursions to earlier and later periods, including those of the Hellenistic and Early Islamic times.

Professor Raja will present four lectures and one seminar between March 18 and 25, 2024:

• Greek and Local Heritages in Urban Landscapes of the Near East: Cultural Amnesia versus the Longue Durée, Monday, March 18, 4:00-7:00 pm, Hussey Room, Michigan League

• A World of Local Cultures in a Roman Sea: The Rise of Urban Landscapes in the Near East, Wednesday, March 20, 4:00-7:00 pm, Vandenberg Room, Michigan League

• The Long Late Antiquity: From Cities to Villages and Back Again, Friday, March 22, 4-7 pm, Pendleton Room, Michigan Union

• Classical Studies Graduate Student Seminar: Digging Caesar’s Forum: Rome’s urban culture in a longue durée Perspective, Saturday, March 23, 11:00 am - 3:30 pm

• Appropriating the Roman Cities of the East: The Historiography of Archaeology, Monday, March 25, 3:30-6:30 pm, Hussey Room, Michigan League

The impressive remaining ruins of the cities of the ancient Near East — cities such as Aelia Capitolina (Jerusalem), Apamea, Baalbek (Heliopolis), Bostra, Caesarea Marittima, Jerash, and Palmyra — almost all date to the Roman period. This is no accident. The Roman empire was an ‘empire of cities’. In the western Mediterranean, where there were relatively few, the Romans planted an enormous number of new ones. The East, on the other hand, was already densely populated with cities. Here the ancient settlements of the Levant flourished under Roman rule, growing steadily in size and prosperity.

These cities gradually took on a new appearance too, as they each acquired a selection of the grand appurtenances and amenities of a Roman metropolis or model city: aqueducts, vaulted bath buildings, stone theaters, covered markets, colonnaded streets, monumental frontal temple buildings. In recent years these cities have attracted a fair amount of attention from archaeologists and historians; but they generally remain outside our accepted narratives of the evolving urban cultures of the Roman world.

The Jerome Thomas Spencer Lecture series revisits these long-established centers of the Roman Near East, and the various ancient peoples who inhabited them. The lectures will seek to trace, through the archaeology and historical sources, the transformation of these cities, from the late first century BCE until Late Antiquity and even into the Early Islamic period; and to describe the ways in which there emerged—here in the monumental spaces of these Levantine communities—a range of new and distinctive kinds of ‘urbanity’.

Urban development in the Roman period prompted a welter of political, social, and religious changes — all of which resulted in a number of different ‘regimes of urban living’, distinctive to the region. The lectures will take us through a series of extremely varied – but recognizable – urban landscapes: the Decapolis, the Limestone Massif and the Tetrapolis; the settlements along the Mediterranean coast; and places deep inland such as Palmyra in the Syrian Desert and the Hauran. But by the end of the journey, the lectures shall have situated these cities as physical manifestations of a local or regional experiment in ‘urban self-fashioning’ — as the peoples of the region, collectively and individually, availed themselves of the alluring opportunities of the Roman peace.

Rubina Raja is a Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art at Aarhus University, Denmark, and Centre director of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre of Excellence for Urban Network Evolutions at Aarhus University, Denmark.

Professor Raja studied classical archaeology at Oxford (M.St. and D.Phil) after undergraduate studies at the University of Copenhagen and Università di Roma, La Sapienza, Italy, and has worked during her studies at the Danish Ministry of Culture. After her DPhil, she held post-docs in Hamburg, Germany, and Aarhus, Denmark. She was an associate professor at Aarhus University between 2009 and 2012, and in 2012, she was appointed professor with special responsibilities. In 2015, she took up the professorial chair of Classical Art and Archaeology at Aarhus University as the first female professor in the field in Denmark ever. There, she has also since 2015 directed the Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre of Excellence for Urban Network Evolutions. Raja has published widely on Greco-Roman portraiture, ancient religion, and its monuments, urban development from the Hellenistic to the Medieval periods in the Eastern Mediterranean, cultural heritage in conflict zones, and legacy data. She is known for her groundbreaking work on the Syrian oasis city Palmyra and her high-impact collaborative archaeological fieldwork in Jerash and Rome. She has received numerous international research awards and honors, including the Humboldt Foundation’s Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Prize, Queen Margrethe IIs Rome Prize, the Elite Research Prize, and the Silver Medal for outstanding research in the humanities and social sciences awarded by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, where she has been a member since 2015. She holds several leadership and management degrees from INSEAD, Paris, and Copenhagen Business School, among other institutions. She has mentored junior and senior scholars in career development programs, and is the author of numerous outreach features on the importance of the humanities broadly in today’s rapidly changing world – underlining in which ways Classics remain relevant in our day and age. In 2023, she was a visiting fellow at All Souls College at her Alma Mater institution, the University of Oxford.

Raja is an experienced field archaeologist, having headed projects in the Middle East and Italy since 2011. Her research focuses on urban and societal developments as well as networks from the Hellenistic to the medieval periods, iconography, and religion in Antiquity, with a focus on the Eastern Mediterranean and Rome. She has pioneered research intersecting archaeology and natural sciences, bringing high-definition studies of the past to the forefront.

The methods are very different, based on perfectoid spaces, representation theory of GL2(Qp) and its inner form, as well as syntomic cohomology and the six-functor formalism due to Lucas Mann. This is based on joint work with Colmez and Niziol (for the Drinfeld tower) and Camargo (for the Lubin-Tate tower).

Organized By: Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC)

BIPOC PLSG (peer led support group), is a drop-in, confidential healing space for survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, and/or sexual harassment, who identify as people of color. Facilitated by student staff, BIPOC PLSG is a place for survivors of color at UM to find not only community but healing opportunities, including anxiety-reduction, self-care activities, and mindfulness.

POC PLSG offers low-key activities as well as a safe space for sharing experiences with racial/ethnic identity, violence, and the intersection between both, as people are comfortable sharing. Survivors are welcome whether they experienced harm in college, or earlier in life.

This space specifically centers UM student survivors who identify as people of color; if you do not identify as a person of color, we encourage you to consider joining SAPAC’s general Peer Led Support Group: sapac.umich.edu/PLSG

*Presenters:*

*“We are all Gang Chen”*

*About the Event*

Although the China Initiative has officially ended in 2022, the hostile climate has not dissipated and scientists of Chinese backgrounds still feel the pressure—especially as a proposed House spending bill wants to bring the initiative back. Put in place in 2018 under the Trump administration, the China Initiative led to the arrest, intimidation, and forced resignation of faculty on American University campuses. This panel discussion brings together a group of experts who will discuss their personal experiences, the legal dimensions, the costs of the initiative in the realm of scientific and technological advancements, the effects on prospective and current students, and diversity of campus.

Co-sponsors: Faculty Senate, Asian Languages and Cultures, College of Engineering, Ford School of Public Policy, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Pramod Sangi Reddy Laboratory, Department of Political Science

“Topical, funny and more than a little poignant …grown-up music for an adolescent age” –New York Times

Jill Sobule’s work is at once deeply personal and socially conscious, seriously funny and derisively tragic. In a dozen albums spanning three decades of recording, the Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer has tackled such topics as the death penalty, anorexia nervosa, shoplifting, reproduction, the French Resistance, adolescent malaise, LGBTQ issues, and the Christian Right. Her hits include “I Kissed A Girl”—the first openly gay-themed song ever to crack the Billboard Top 20—and the alt-rock anthem “Supermodel” featured in the film “Clueless”. Sobule was one half of The Jill & Julia Show, providing music while actor Julia Sweeney contributes storytelling. Jill is considered a pioneer in crowdfunding and is constantly exploring and creating new models for artists in an ever-changing music industry. Her latest record is “Nostalgia Kills”, produced by Ben Lee and released on her own Pinko Records label. Jill’s theater credits include a musical adaptation of the Broadway classic “Yentl”, “Prozak and the Platypus”, and “Times Square”. Her latest, “F*ck 7th Grade”, was postponed due to Covid, but was performed and filmed for three days at a make-shift drive-in over the Summer. The musical is a finalist for the Lambda Literary awards in LGBTQ Drama category this June.

CCPS Exhibition. Modernist Glass from the Polish Past (March 26, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111352 111352-21834801@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass), the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes.

The collectors, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets, antique shops, and websites, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.

Organized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.

Learn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM

The exhibit opens on September 15, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

CES Exhibition. Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers (March 26, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115990 115990-21836005@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for European Studies

Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power, a cadre of European Jews—German, Polish, Hungarian, Austrian, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer, journalist, painter, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.

They did, however, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.

Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille, France on May 7, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary, Belgium, France, and Germany: Ilse Bing, Josef Breitenbach, Boris Lipnitsky, Charles Leirens, Yolla Niclas, Fred Stein, Monie Tannen, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.

This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world, seeing it through European eyes.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Historically, maps have served as a panoptic technology, assisting imperial powers in governance, discipline, and control. In this exhibit, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.

Dayrit’s artworks, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps, plot the extraction of natural resources, land grabbing, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.

Dayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural, urban, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.

Cian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography, archaeology, history, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state, museum, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives (March 26, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119219 119219-21842984@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.

< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >

This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

Exile and the Mentor-student Relationship: A Force for Resistance and Decolonization (March 26, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119503 119503-21842864@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 9:00am

This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.

In the United States, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized, under despotic rule, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students, and students who became mentors to new students, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.

View the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library, Tappan Hall, 855 S. University Ave.

Garden Repairs (March 26, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116759 116759-21837924@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

About the installation:
Garden Repairs is an installation of paper textiles that loosely narrate the life cycle of plants. It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment.

About the artist:
Susan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature, culture, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection, documentation, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats, including installation, video, prints, and drawings, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.

Campbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Queens Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Drawing Center, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.

Campbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts, the Jentel Foundation, Beisinghoff Print Residency, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, New York Public Library, Detroit Institute of Arts, Toledo Museum of Art, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

My Gender States (March 26, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116487 116487-21837092@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

On display at Lane Hall, Rogério M. Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In "My Gender States," Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister.

Using autoethnography, Pinto created a one-person play ("Marília," 2015) and site-specific installation performance ("The Realm of the Dead," 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas, gender states, and his life experience—a story of the struggles, fears, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In "Realm," audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he, a queer immigrant, carried with him. "My Gender States" is a selection of materials, images, and texts from "Marília" and "Realm" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states, gender confusion, gender embodiments, gender doubt, and reactions to gender stigma.

Rogério M. Pinto (Brazilian, American, b. 1965, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work; and Professor of Theatre and Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.

The photographs used in "My Gender States" are by Emerson Granillo (American, b. 1987); David Newton (American, b. 1993); and Nicholas Williams (American, b. 1994). The "Realm" assemblages featured in "My Gender States" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner.

"My Gender States" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor, 204 S State St) from January 23, to August 13, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.

Hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 26, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835627@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Peter Dunn Exhibition (March 26, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116532 116532-21837348@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 9:00am
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 18
Organized By: North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program

Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as
scribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding, augmenting, slicing, repeating, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception, sympathy, hierarchy, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.

Peter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies

Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The *28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons* (March 19 - April 2, 2024) showcases the hard work and talents of artists incarcerated in Michigan prisons.

The work is by men and women from all 25 state prisons in both the upper and the lower peninsulas: 24 men’s prisons and 1 women’s prison.

This year there are hundreds of works in two and three dimensions, including portraits, tattoo imagery, landscapes, fantasy, and wildlife as well as images about incarceration and visions that are entirely new.

The artwork you see at the exhibit is a testament to the resilience of artists and the life-giving power of art under the most difficult of circumstances–incarceration, isolation, and unimaginable loss. It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all, in the free world and behind the walls.

We invite you to enjoy the work and, if you like, make a purchase. All proceeds, minus necessary taxes and fees, go directly to the artists.

The exhibition opens March 19th:
5:00 PM Gallery/sales open

Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In Andrea Carlson Future Cache, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  

Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Special thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Margaret Noodin, and Richard A. Wiles, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, U-M Clements Library, and U-M Clark Map Library.

Care in Uncertain Times

As crises of public health, economic instability, authoritarian regimes, racial injustice, and climate change spread around the globe, millions are experiencing distress, conflict, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases, weapon wounds, and malnutrition.

This exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M Office of the President, National Endowment for the Arts, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and U-M Ross School of Business.

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and the Oakriver Foundation.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (March 26, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 84303-21621243@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

We Write To You About Africa (March 26, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 84304-21622100@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. 

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 

We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

The talk will be recorded for later viewing. Coffee and snacks will be served.

Abstract: Cities are complex sociotechnical systems comprising intricate networks of infrastructure, human mobility, and relationships. However, conventional applications of network science in urban topics often simplify these systems into nodes and edges, disregarding the spatial and infrastructural contexts in which these networks operate. This limits our understanding of how network dynamics intersect with physical space and infrastructure, hindering meaningful changes that can be enacted through urban planning and policy adjustments.

This talk will introduce methods and implications of contextualizing urban networks within spatial and infrastructural dimensions. Case studies will be presented to show how the concept of network duality manifests, such as offering connectivity and access for certain populations, places, or types of flows, while marginalizing or restricting others. This phenomenon emerges as different urban network systems interact with each other and with the built environment.

This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Seminar Series.

Preview: As a cisgender gay man, I lacked accessible role models throughout my training in STEM who could serve as lenses on the academy. I also did not see spaces or networks in which I could grow as a professional and find community with other LGBTQ+ colleagues, particularly given the power of heteronormativity. My queer identity was solidified long ago along within a rich population of radical queer family, but I often felt alone in the wide world of biology. I learned to facilitate educational panels on queer identities and to be vulnerable about sexuality and gender with auditoriums full of college students. As an activator, I sought to transform my discipline however I could; however, I lacked an awareness of how my identities would influence my practice as a mentor and professional. I worked first within my safest place, the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, to grow a culture of visible and proud queerness. I also formed my mentoring strategy as a faculty member from inclusive practices focused on empathy and identity. Across my time as a professor, I became more vocal in hierarchical systems and joined broader causes driven by people from historically excluded groups to work at the roots of inequity in higher education. It was then I realized the contexts for driving change: I could only be effective within specific spheres of influence. In this presentation, I will discuss how understanding those spheres evolved from hard lessons in seeking justice in higher education via inclusive and equitable practice. I will also highlight the importance of decision-making from an action-based model that can be deployed by LGBTQ+ scientists as well as our true allies.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Retelling the Story of Dunhuang Buddhist Art: A Spatial Approach (March 26, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117590 117590-21839557@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/bykee

This lecture retells the story of Dunhuang art through the perspective of space. Although there are countless overviews of the art of Dunhuang, the framework is generally temporal. Guided by the dynasties of China’s past, these overviews present a linear history of the Mogao Caves, supplanting the actual place with an abstract temporal sequence. This lecture presents an alternative narrative based on visitors’ experience and discusses some representative caves to demonstrate a new methodology in studying Dunhuang art Mogao.

Wu Hung holds the Harrie A. Vanderstappen Distinguished Service Professorship at the Department of Art History and the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago, and is also the director of the Center for the Art of East Asia at the same university. An elected member of the American Academy of Art and Science and the American Philosophic Society, he has received many awards for his publications and academic services, including the Distinguished Teaching Award (2008) and Distinguished Scholar Award (2018) from the College of Art Association (CAA), an Honorary Degree in Arts from Harvard University (2019), and the Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award for Writing on Art from CAA (2022). Wu Hung’s research interests include both traditional and contemporary Chinese art, and he has published many books and curated many exhibitions in these two fields. His interdisciplinary interest has led him to experiment with different ways to tell stories about Chinese art, as exemplified by his "Monumentality in Early Chinese Art and Architecture" (1995), "The Double Screen: Medium and Representation of Chinese Pictorial Art" (1996), "Remaking Beijing: Tiananmen Square: the Creation of a Political Space" (2005), "The Art of the Yellow Springs: Understanding Chinese Tombs" (2010), "A Story of Ruins: Presence and Absence in Chinese Art and Visual Culture" (2012), "Zooming In: Histories of Photography in China" (2016), and "Space in Art History" (2018). His three newest books from 2022 and 2023 include "Chinese and Dynastic Time" (Princeton University Press), "Spatial Dunhuang: Experiencing the Mogao Caves" (Washington University Press), and "The Full Length Mirror: A Global Visual History" (Reaktion Books).

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.

This talk theorizes nation-states as bundles of command powers that are key to racial capitalist operability. It rethinks borders, citizenship, international law, war-making, and other state processes as ways racial capitalism operates by enacting “socially good” violence on people and places treated as killable. The intention of this operational account is not to make racial capitalism seem implacable, but to show that its doings are always threatened by protocols for making, continuing, and defending specific, grounded living (Black, Indigenous, migrant, and more). By refusing killability and authorizing mutual survival, such “other doings” evade and break state-capital violence circuits. Though pushed below or outside of ‘politics’, as conventionally understood, such “doings together” are powerful, transformative forces.

Jodi Melamed is a Normal Freehling Visiting Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and a Professor of English and Race, Ethnic, and Indigenous Studies at Marquette University.

"You can’t start networking unless you know where to begin! As an international student, it can be intimidating when thinking about the idea of having to interact with people in the U.S. That’s totally okay because we got you covered! This workshop will give you the tools to identify and connect with contacts in addition to conducting informational interviews - opportunities that will help you expand your knowledge of what a career or company is like by learning from an employee's daily activities. Remember: Networking is about building relationships. These meetings can occur without the pressure so often present in a typical job interview but many times lead to opportunities down the road.

This session is an interactive workshop, so you are expected to prepare by carefully reviewing our networking website to learn the basics: Review Networking Resources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PHpx31Amwc&t=2s

Missing Markets: the Determinants of Liquidity Provision on the 19th Century London Stock Exchange (March 26, 2024 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118212 118212-21840653@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 2:30pm

Organized By: Department of Economics

This paper studies the behavior of specialist dealers in choosing to make markets in securities. Our setting is the 19th century London Stock Exchange and the universe of securities listed on the exchange in the 1870s. In line with the findings of recent literature, our estimates show that specialist dealers concentrated their market-making in the most liquid securities. The LSE was a free-entry dealer market, where dealers were free to choose which securities to deal in. In this context, we show that up to 80% of securities were orphaned with no specialist offering immediate execution. A combination of adverse selection and inventory costs prevented the development of liquid markets in most securities, with dealers opting instead to provide match-making services. Our findings are consistent with recent research on the possibility of liquidity bifurcation and market fragility.

This talk is presented by the Economic History Seminar, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Harrison Metal Visiting Scholar Award Fund and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Organized By: CM-AMO Seminars

In the relentless pursuit of extending our sensory reach beyond classical limitations, quantum sensors strive to redefine boundaries of detection and measurement. The Rydberg atom stands as a leading physical platform for quantum sensing of electromagnetic fields, featuring access to an ultrawide spectrum from essentially static fields to the optical region with exquisite sensitivity, particularly at radio frequencies. Rydberg quantum sensors employ atomic vapors and laser fields to exploit highly excited Rydberg states of atoms with exaggerated properties and tunable interactions with radio frequency (RF) fields from DC to THz, enabling pathways to new RF capabilities and quantum technologies for electric field sensing, precision measurement, and imaging. I will present an overview of Rydberg quantum sensing, including atomic physics and quantum-optics methods and techniques underlying their operation and summarize the state of the art in sensors for real-world applications, from antenna measurement probes to the recent demonstration of the first long-range signal reception and communication with a suit-case-sized Rydberg atomic receiver.

Political polarization is seen as a risk factor for democracies. In this paper (with Yeilim Cheong, Democratization https://myumi.ch/MrQm3), we review twenty years of data on the extent of political polarization in South Korea, linking it to wider debates about democratic backsliding. Although increases in polarization have been relatively modest, they have included differences across new issues, including social ones, and are visible in an increase in affective polarization: dislike across the partisan divide. We show that these changes have been driven largely by movements on the right, and have overlapped with a discourse on democratic backsliding in the country.

Stephan Haggard is Research Professor at the School of Global Policy and Strategy, University of California San Diego. His research on South Korea has focused on the political economy of the country including on the the developmental state (Pathways from the Periphery [1990], The Political Economy of the Asian Financial Crisis [2000]; Developmental States [2018]). His work on transitions to and from democratic rule with Robert Kaufman includes Dictators and Democrats: Masses, Elites and Regime Change (2017) and Backsliding: Democratic Regress in the Contemporary World (2021).

CCPS Exhibition. Modernist Glass from the Polish Past (March 27, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111352 111352-21834802@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass), the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes.

The collectors, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets, antique shops, and websites, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.

Organized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.

The exhibit opens on September 15, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

CES Exhibition. Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers (March 27, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115990 115990-21836006@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for European Studies

Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power, a cadre of European Jews—German, Polish, Hungarian, Austrian, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer, journalist, painter, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.

They did, however, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.

Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille, France on May 7, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary, Belgium, France, and Germany: Ilse Bing, Josef Breitenbach, Boris Lipnitsky, Charles Leirens, Yolla Niclas, Fred Stein, Monie Tannen, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.

This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world, seeing it through European eyes.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Historically, maps have served as a panoptic technology, assisting imperial powers in governance, discipline, and control. In this exhibit, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.

Dayrit’s artworks, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps, plot the extraction of natural resources, land grabbing, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.

Dayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural, urban, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.

Cian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography, archaeology, history, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state, museum, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Organized By: University Library

This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.

< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >

This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.

In the United States, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized, under despotic rule, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students, and students who became mentors to new students, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.

Garden Repairs (March 27, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116759 116759-21837925@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

About the installation:
Garden Repairs is an installation of paper textiles that loosely narrate the life cycle of plants. It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment.

About the artist:
Susan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature, culture, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection, documentation, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats, including installation, video, prints, and drawings, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.

Campbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Queens Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Drawing Center, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.

Campbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts, the Jentel Foundation, Beisinghoff Print Residency, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, New York Public Library, Detroit Institute of Arts, Toledo Museum of Art, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

My Gender States (March 27, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116487 116487-21837093@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

On display at Lane Hall, Rogério M. Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In "My Gender States," Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister.

Using autoethnography, Pinto created a one-person play ("Marília," 2015) and site-specific installation performance ("The Realm of the Dead," 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas, gender states, and his life experience—a story of the struggles, fears, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In "Realm," audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he, a queer immigrant, carried with him. "My Gender States" is a selection of materials, images, and texts from "Marília" and "Realm" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states, gender confusion, gender embodiments, gender doubt, and reactions to gender stigma.

Rogério M. Pinto (Brazilian, American, b. 1965, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work; and Professor of Theatre and Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.

The photographs used in "My Gender States" are by Emerson Granillo (American, b. 1987); David Newton (American, b. 1993); and Nicholas Williams (American, b. 1994). The "Realm" assemblages featured in "My Gender States" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner.

"My Gender States" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor, 204 S State St) from January 23, to August 13, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.

Hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 27, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835628@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Peter Dunn Exhibition (March 27, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116532 116532-21837349@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 9:00am
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 18
Organized By: North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program

Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as
scribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding, augmenting, slicing, repeating, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception, sympathy, hierarchy, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.

Peter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies

28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons (March 27, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115481 115481-21834887@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 10:00am
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The *28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons* (March 19 - April 2, 2024) showcases the hard work and talents of artists incarcerated in Michigan prisons.

The work is by men and women from all 25 state prisons in both the upper and the lower peninsulas: 24 men’s prisons and 1 women’s prison.

This year there are hundreds of works in two and three dimensions, including portraits, tattoo imagery, landscapes, fantasy, and wildlife as well as images about incarceration and visions that are entirely new.

The artwork you see at the exhibit is a testament to the resilience of artists and the life-giving power of art under the most difficult of circumstances–incarceration, isolation, and unimaginable loss. It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all, in the free world and behind the walls.

We invite you to enjoy the work and, if you like, make a purchase. All proceeds, minus necessary taxes and fees, go directly to the artists.

The exhibition opens March 19th:
5:00 PM Gallery/sales open
5:30 PM Reception & light refreshments
6:30 PM Celebration program begins
*Free accessible shuttle service available on opening night*
*4:30 - 8:30 PM, running every half-hour*
*Loops to the exhibit from the Plymouth Rd. Park & Ride (3700 Plymouth Rd., right off of US-23)*

March 20th to April 1st, gallery hours for the exhibit are:
Sunday–Monday: 12:00 PM–6:00 PM
Tuesday–Saturday: 10:00 AM–7:00 PM

April 2nd gallery is open until 5:00 PM. Art Pick-Up begins at 5:00 PM

Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion (March 27, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119221 119221-21842418@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In Andrea Carlson Future Cache, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  

Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Special thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Margaret Noodin, and Richard A. Wiles, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, U-M Clements Library, and U-M Clark Map Library.

Care in Uncertain Times

As crises of public health, economic instability, authoritarian regimes, racial injustice, and climate change spread around the globe, millions are experiencing distress, conflict, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases, weapon wounds, and malnutrition.

This exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M Office of the President, National Endowment for the Arts, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and U-M Ross School of Business.

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

On representation theory in the higher Verlinde category Ver_4^+ (March 27, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/117207 117207-21838824@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 11:00am
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Representation Stability Seminar - Department of Mathematics

The higher Verlinde categories Ver_{p^n} were introduced independently by Coulembier and Benson-Etingof-Ostrik as generalizations of Ver_p (the semisimplification of Rep(Z/pZ)); they conjectured that these categories appear in the analog of Deligne’s theorem in positive characteristic, i.e. every symmetric tensor category of moderate growth admits a fiber functor to the union Ver_{p^\infty} of the nested sequence Ver_p \subset Ver_{p^2} \subset.... Therefore, studying representations of affine group schemes in symmetric tensor categories of moderate growth reduces to studying representations of group schemes in these higher Verlinde categories. In this talk, we consider representation theory in Ver_4^+, which has a concrete description as the representation category Rep(k[d]/d^2) with twisted braiding. We present some results on representations of general linear groups, related group schemes, and Lie algebras in Ver_4^+, and discuss unanswered questions in this area.

What is the behavior of high-density, low-temperature QCD? At the high densities reached in the cores of neutron stars, this question becomes difficult to answer. In this talk, I will outline a framework to address this question, synthesizing inputs from nuclear theory, high-energy theory, and astrophysics. I will discuss how this framework can be used to constrain the degree of conformality of high-density QCD, with implications for the cores of high-mass neutron stars. I will furthermore highlight recent work to improve the perturbative-QCD input used in the framework.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (March 27, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 84303-21621244@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison

We Write To You About Africa (March 27, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 84304-21622101@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. 

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 

We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

Population and Welfare: The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number (with Adhami, Bils, and Klenow) (March 27, 2024 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/117988 117988-21840306@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 11:30am
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Economics

Economic growth is typically measured in per capita terms. But social welfare should arguably include the number of people as well as their standard of living. We decompose social welfare growth --- measured in consumption-equivalent (CE) units --- into contributions from rising population and rising per capita consumption. Because of diminishing marginal utility from consumption, population growth is scaled up by a value-of-life factor that exceeds one and empirically averages nearly 3 across countries since 1960. Population increases are therefore a major contributor, and CE welfare growth around the world averages more than 6\% per year since 1960 as opposed to 2\% per year for consumption growth. Countries such as Mexico and South Africa rise sharply in the growth rankings, whereas China, Germany, and Japan plummet. These results are robust to incorporating time use and fertility decisions using data from the U.S., Mexico, the Netherlands, Japan, South Africa, and South Korea. Falling parental utility from having fewer kids is roughly offset by increases in the ``quality'' of kids associated with rising time investment per child.

This talk is presented by the Macroeconomics Seminar, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Michael Beauregard Fund for Macroeconomics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Leveraging AI for Survey Research

This presentation scrutinizes the transformative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in survey research, focusing on three critical areas: questionnaire design, synthetic data creation, and the role of LLMs as qualitative interviewers. In the domain of questionnaire design, the lecture delves into if and how LLMs can construct contextually accurate and highly effective survey items. However, there are valid concerns about the model’s understanding and potential biases, which we will critically evaluate. She also discusses LLMs’ ability to fabricate synthetic data, preserving core statistical properties whilst ensuring privacy. Here too, the ethical implications and the potential for misuse of this capability pose challenges that need to be addressed. Lastly, the lecture explores how LLMs, with their human-like conversational ability, can act as qualitative interviewers, allowing in-depth information gathering at scale. Yet, questions about their ability to fully capture the complexity and subtleties of human interaction and response also remain. The underlying theme of this talk is the question on how research in this space should be structured.

Frauke Kreuter is a professor in the Joint Program in Survey Methodology (JPSM), Co-director of the Social Data Science Center (SoDa) at the University of Maryland, and chair of Statistics and Data Science at LMU Munich. She is an elected fellow of the American Statistical Association, and received the Warren Mitofsky Innovators Award of the American Association for Public Opinion Research in 2020. In addition to her academic work, Professor Kreuter is the Founder of the International Program for Survey and Data Science (IPSDS), developed in response to the increasing demand from researchers and practitioners for the appropriate methods and right tools to face a changing data environment; Co-Founder of the Coleridge Initiative, whose goal is to accelerate data-driven research and policy around human beings and their interactions for program management, policy development, and scholarly purposes by enabling efficient, effective, and secure access to sensitive data about society and the economy.

Estimating a Life-Cycle Model of Pay and Task Assignment: Productivity, Discrimination, and Racial Gaps (March 27, 2024 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117980 117980-21840259@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 2:30pm
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Economics

Inequality in pay and promotions between black and white workers increases over the life cycle. We decompose the sources of this inequality using a dynamic Roy model that incorporates a job ladder, on-the-job training, compensating differentials, growth in observed and unobserved skills, and discrimination. We develop a two-step estimator to accommodate a flexible structure of dynamic unobserved heterogeneity and recover the model’s structural parameters. Our estimates and counterfactual exercises show that pre-market discrimination plays a large role in racial gaps, especially for long- run inequality at the bottom of the wage distribution. However, pay and promotion discrimination has a large effect at higher-skill occupations, except at the very top occupations.

This talk is presented by the Labor Economics Seminar, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Abraham and Thelma Zwerdling Labor Economics Program.

Department Colloquium | Black holes: the most mysterious objects in the universe (March 27, 2024 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/119028 119028-21842048@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department Colloquia

In the last decade black holes have come to center stage in both theoretical and observational science. Theoretically, they were shown a half-century ago by Stephen Hawking and others to obey a precise but still-mysterious set of laws which imply they are paradoxically both the simplest and most complex objects in the universe. Compelling progress on this paradox has occurred recently. Observationally, they have finally and dramatically been seen in the sky, including at LIGO and the Event Horizon Telescope. Future prospects for progress on both fronts hinge on emergent symmetries occurring near the black holes. An elementary presentation of aspects of these topics and their interplay will be given.

Wei Lu has been named the James R. Mellor Professor of Engineering at the University of Michigan. A reception will immediately follow the talk.

The surge of data-intensive applications, particularly in Artificial Intelligence (AI), along with challenges in transistor scaling, has prompted the semiconductor industry to explore new devices and computing architectures. This presentation provides an overview of our 19-year journey at UM in memory device and computing system research.
Starting from a single device, we revealed the ability to manipulate ions in semiconductors and insulators using voltage, resulting in distinct resistance states for information storage. These devices can serve as high-density memory units and can be directly integrated with existing silicon chips. Furthermore, the underlying physics of the device operation can be directly used for computation, facilitating the efficient execution of both deep neural networks (DNNs) and bio-inspired neural networks. These memory and computing chips have now made the transition from research to commercialization. New research directions that aim for further improving efficiency, latency and reliability will also be discussed.

Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Equivariant Hodge modules and rational singularities (March 27, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/115404 115404-21834629@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 4:00pm

In this talk, we will define a notion of Hodge modules with rational singularities. A variety has rational singularities in the usual sense, if it is normal and the Hodge module related to intersection cohomology has rational singularities in the present sense. With this definition of rational singularities for Hodge modules, we will generalize Boutot's theorem. That is, if a reductive group acts on a smooth affine variety with a stable point, and M is an equivariant Hodge module with rational singularities, then the induced Hodge module on the GIT quotient also has rational singularities. This is based on joint work with D. Arapura.

Abstract:

Each cell of a multicellular organism generally contains the same DNA sequence. Yet, a single organism is composed of hundreds to thousands of highly diverse and functionally unique cell types. This diversification is largely the result of differential gene regulation; distinct cell types express unique sets of genes that encode their identity and dictate their functions. At the forefront of gene regulation are cis-regulatory elements that control “when” and “where” a gene is expressed. Mutations within CREs can perturb the native pattern and magnitude of gene expression and result in drastic molecular, cellular, and morphological phenotypes, including developmental defects in plants and diseases in humans. Until recently, it has been impossible to profile active CREs from diverse plant cell types at scale. I will discuss new efforts to chart cis-regulatory variation within and across several plant species at the level of individual cells and the implication towards phenotypic innovation.

This week we will discuss duality for equational/algebraic logic, the fragment of (many-sorted) first-order logic in which we only consider functional signatures and theories whose axioms are equations between terms. Previously we discussed the connection between algebraic theories and small categories with finite products, as well as the construction of the syntactic algebra (or "universal model”) of an algebraic theory. This week we will discuss the duality theorem for algebraic logic, namely the bi-equivalence between the 2-category of algebraic categories (categories equivalent to Mod(T) for some algebraic theory T) and the 2-category of “canonical” algebraic theories (algebraic theories that are idempotent-complete).

We consider the graphon mean-field system introduced by Bayraktar et al. in Bayraktar, Chakraborty, Wu (AAP 2023)
which is the large-population limit of a heterogeneously interacting diffusive particle system.
The interaction is of mean-field type with weights characterized by an underlying graphon function.
Via continuous observations of the trajectories of the finite-population particle system,
we build plug-in estimators of the particle densities, drift coefficients, and graphon interaction weights of the mean-field system.
Our estimators for the densities and drifts are direct results of kernel interpolation on the empirical data, and a deconvolution method leads to an estimator of the underlying graphon function
We prove that the estimator converges to the true graphon function as the number of particles tends to infinity when all other parameters are properly chosen.
Besides, we also conduct a minimax analysis on the plug-in estimator of the particle densities within a particular class of particle systems, which justifies its pointwise optimality.

The Poincaré recurrence theorem states that probabilistic measure-preserving dynamical systems will, after a sufficiently long but finite time, return to a state arbitrarily close to their initial state. This raises a natural question: How long must one wait? The rate of recurrence can be quantified in cases where the space has a finite Hausdorff dimension. We will prove the classical Poincaré recurrence theorem and its quantitative version due to Boshernitzan. Some applications will be provided. This talk is will be very accessible; no prior knowledge is required.

Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

My talk explores the relationship between custom and empire by connecting elite strategies for managing difference in medieval Iberia’s multi-confessional and multi-jurisdictional society to Spanish imperial strategies for governing an ethnically diverse and socially stratified Indigenous population in sixteenth-century colonial Mexico. While highlighting transatlantic connections, I point to custom’s distinct uses and outcomes in the context of colonial governance, especially the ways in which the concept of Indigenous custom reproduced Spanish notions of Native difference and inferiority and legitimized Spanish claims to Native labor. In doing so, I challenge long-held assumptions in the field of ethnohistory that Indigenous custom implied continuity with the pre-Hispanic past and was therefore antithetical to the Spanish imperial project. Through Native engagement with Spanish courts, Native and Spanish litigants and court officials adapted Indigenous custom – especially related to property and labor – to Spanish law and imperial objectives.

We've all wondered, "When will I use this" while studying higher-level math. The Black-Scholes-Merton model is an advanced mathematical model that can be derived in both discrete and continuous time processes. Moreover, it is a direct application of higher level math that now contributes toward the multi-trillion dollar industry of derivative pricing.

CANCELLED: The Chinese Question: Diasporic Histories and Global Politics of Race with Mae Ngai (March 27, 2024 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116788 116788-21837998@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 5:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

We have made the difficult decision to CANCEL THIS EVENT due to unforeseen circumstances.

The Chinese Question is about the origins of Chinese diasporic communities in the West; the rise of the racist movements and exclusion legislation passed against them; and the struggles of the Chinese emigrants for respect and equal treatment, as well as China itself, in the international community. Chinese exclusion policies across the Anglo-American world showed the importance of domestic racism in the formation of nation-state identities. At another level, they were also integral to the development of the late nineteenth-century ascent of Great Britain and the U.S. as global economic hegemons, as creditors and as colonizers, as nation builders, and as empire builders. Because China was never formally colonized, the Western powers imposed unequal treaties and exclusion laws as instruments of colonialism and containment. Exclusion policies were integral dynamics of colonialism and capitalism; part of a new way of imagining, organizing, and governing the world.

Mae M. Ngai is Lung Family Professor of Asian American Studies and Professor of History, and Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race at Columbia University.

About the series:
(Re)Emergence: Asian American Histories and Futures, a collaboration between Asian American studies scholars and the Institute for the Humanities, is a series of events committed to interdisciplinary exploration and community engagement. The series brings together filmmakers, creative writers, scholars, and activists to think through diverse Asian American histories and how we might learn from them to shape radically different futures.

The p-adic cohomology of the Drinfeld and Lubin-Tate towers (March 27, 2024 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120667 120667-21845110@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2024 5:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

In this series of talks I will try to give an overview of the main issues that arise when trying to establish mod p and p-adic analogues of the theorems of Langlands, Deligne, Drinfeld and Carayol, describing the l-adic (l ≠ p) étale cohomology of the Drinfeld and Lubin-Tate towers. The methods are very different, based on perfectoid spaces, representation theory of GL2(Qp) and its inner form, as well as syntomic cohomology and the six-functor formalism due to Lucas Mann. This is based on joint work with Colmez and Niziol (for the Drinfeld tower) and Camargo (for the Lubin-Tate tower).

She went on to study with the great Barry Harris and win the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition.

Joy gets inside each song she sings, breathing nuance and life into standards. Her UMS debut falls on the 100th birthday of Sarah Vaughan, one of the great American jazz singers to whom she is often compared.

Giving performances that are “lithe, persuasive” (*The New York Times*), “eloquent and enthralling” (*The Boston Globe*), and described as “the most compelling American group to come on the scene” (*The New Yorker*), the Horszowski Trio has quickly become a vital force in the international chamber music world since their formation in 2011. In 2023, the “Horszowski Trio Prize” was created by the prestigious Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, to award piano trio winners. They have toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, the Far East, and India, traversing the oeuvre of traditional piano trio repertoire and introducing audiences to new music that they have commissioned and premiered.

CCPS Exhibition. Modernist Glass from the Polish Past (March 28, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111352 111352-21834803@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass), the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes.

The collectors, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets, antique shops, and websites, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.

Organized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.

The exhibit opens on September 15, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

CES Exhibition. Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers (March 28, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115990 115990-21836007@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for European Studies

Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power, a cadre of European Jews—German, Polish, Hungarian, Austrian, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer, journalist, painter, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.

They did, however, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.

Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille, France on May 7, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary, Belgium, France, and Germany: Ilse Bing, Josef Breitenbach, Boris Lipnitsky, Charles Leirens, Yolla Niclas, Fred Stein, Monie Tannen, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.

This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world, seeing it through European eyes.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Historically, maps have served as a panoptic technology, assisting imperial powers in governance, discipline, and control. In this exhibit, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.

Dayrit’s artworks, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps, plot the extraction of natural resources, land grabbing, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.

Dayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural, urban, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.

Cian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography, archaeology, history, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state, museum, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Organized By: University Library

This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.

< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >

This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.

In the United States, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized, under despotic rule, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students, and students who became mentors to new students, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.

Garden Repairs (March 28, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116759 116759-21837926@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

About the installation:
Garden Repairs is an installation of paper textiles that loosely narrate the life cycle of plants. It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment.

About the artist:
Susan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature, culture, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection, documentation, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats, including installation, video, prints, and drawings, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.

Campbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Queens Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Drawing Center, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.

Campbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts, the Jentel Foundation, Beisinghoff Print Residency, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, New York Public Library, Detroit Institute of Arts, Toledo Museum of Art, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

My Gender States (March 28, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116487 116487-21837094@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

On display at Lane Hall, Rogério M. Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In "My Gender States," Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister.

Using autoethnography, Pinto created a one-person play ("Marília," 2015) and site-specific installation performance ("The Realm of the Dead," 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas, gender states, and his life experience—a story of the struggles, fears, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In "Realm," audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he, a queer immigrant, carried with him. "My Gender States" is a selection of materials, images, and texts from "Marília" and "Realm" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states, gender confusion, gender embodiments, gender doubt, and reactions to gender stigma.

Rogério M. Pinto (Brazilian, American, b. 1965, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work; and Professor of Theatre and Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.

The photographs used in "My Gender States" are by Emerson Granillo (American, b. 1987); David Newton (American, b. 1993); and Nicholas Williams (American, b. 1994). The "Realm" assemblages featured in "My Gender States" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner.

"My Gender States" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor, 204 S State St) from January 23, to August 13, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.

Hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 28, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835629@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 18
Organized By: North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program

Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as
scribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding, augmenting, slicing, repeating, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception, sympathy, hierarchy, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.

Peter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies

28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons (March 28, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115481 115481-21834888@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 10:00am
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The *28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons* (March 19 - April 2, 2024) showcases the hard work and talents of artists incarcerated in Michigan prisons.

The work is by men and women from all 25 state prisons in both the upper and the lower peninsulas: 24 men’s prisons and 1 women’s prison.

This year there are hundreds of works in two and three dimensions, including portraits, tattoo imagery, landscapes, fantasy, and wildlife as well as images about incarceration and visions that are entirely new.

The artwork you see at the exhibit is a testament to the resilience of artists and the life-giving power of art under the most difficult of circumstances–incarceration, isolation, and unimaginable loss. It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all, in the free world and behind the walls.

We invite you to enjoy the work and, if you like, make a purchase. All proceeds, minus necessary taxes and fees, go directly to the artists.

The exhibition opens March 19th:
5:00 PM Gallery/sales open
5:30 PM Reception & light refreshments
6:30 PM Celebration program begins

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In Andrea Carlson Future Cache, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  

Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Special thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Margaret Noodin, and Richard A. Wiles, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, U-M Clements Library, and U-M Clark Map Library.

Care in Uncertain Times

As crises of public health, economic instability, authoritarian regimes, racial injustice, and climate change spread around the globe, millions are experiencing distress, conflict, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases, weapon wounds, and malnutrition.

This exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M Office of the President, National Endowment for the Arts, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and U-M Ross School of Business.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and the Oakriver Foundation.

Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion (March 28, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119221 119221-21842419@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Organized By: MQC

Hanes Bernien, Associate Professor of Molecular Engineering in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago, will be presenting "Quantum Processors and Quantum Networks Atom-by-Atom" as part of the Midwest Quantum Collaboratory's 2023-24 seminar series from 10:00 - 11:00 am on March 28, 2024 in the Phoenix Room in MMPP. A Zoom option is also provided https://umich.zoom.us/j/97386886642 Passcode MQC3

Session Abstract:
Reconfigurable arrays of neutral atoms are an exciting platform to study quantum many-body phenomena and quantum information protocols. Their excellent coherence combined with programmable Rydberg interactions have led to intriguing observations such as quantum phase transitions, the discovery of quantum many-body scars, and novel quantum computing architectures.

Here, I will introduce new methods for controlling and measuring atom arrays that open up compelling directions in quantum state control, quantum feedback and many-body physics. First, I will introduce a dual-species atomic array in which the second atomic species can be used to measure and control the primary species. We use an array of cesium qubits to correct correlated phase errors on an array of rubidium data qubits [1]. Rydberg interactions between the two species lead to novel regimes, including greatly enhanced resonant dipole interactions, that we use to demonstrate a 2-qubit gate and quantum non-demolition readout [2].

An alternative, hybrid approach for engineering interactions and scaling these quantum systems is the coupling of atoms to nanophotonic structures in which photons mediate interactions between atoms. Such a system can function as the building block of a large-scale quantum network. In this context, I will present quantum network node architectures that are capable of long-distance entanglement distribution at telecom wavelengths [3] and show how to combine atom-array capabilities with large photonic chips [4].

Join students of Slavic languages to learn one of the world’s most beloved and intricate forms of Slavic folk art, designing Ukrainian Pysanka. Space may be limited. Please note that you will need at least one hour to create a pysanka.

The tradition of egg decoration in Slavic cultures originated in pagan times. Over time, many new techniques were added. Some versions of these decorated eggs have retained their pagan symbolism, while others have added Christian symbols and motifs. While decorated eggs of various nations have much in common, national traditions, color preferences, motifs used and preferred techniques vary.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (March 28, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 84303-21621245@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 10:00am

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. 

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 

We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

"In the United States, many people participate in what is called """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""small talk"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", where you make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics, such as the weather, sports, or popular television shows. “Small talk” is one of the ways in American culture to chat about harmless topics in order to establish a connection and start to build a friendship.

For example, while waiting for an interview, in line at a M-Den, or in an elevator on campus, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like, “Did you watch the Football Game last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in, or comment on the current situation.

If you are interested in learning more about """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""small talk"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!"

CANCELED - CJS Thursday Noon Lecture Series | The Politics of Taxation and Redistributive Equality (March 28, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117579 117579-21839535@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

We apologize that we have had to cancel this event. Please note that we have arranged for a new lecture for the same time and location.

Japan is a critical case in a comparative array of welfare states. Contemporary welfare states achieve higher equality by raising revenue from a regressive consumption tax than from a progressive income tax to be redistributed through public expenditures. Politics of taxation matters for this unexpected consequence among long democracies.

Junko Kato (Ph.D., Yale University) is Professor of Political Science at the University of Tokyo. She has conducted research in comparative politics on taxation and the welfare state, party coalitions and government formation, and neuro-cognitive analyses of social decision and behavior. She has authored articles in *American Political Science Review*, the *British Journal of Political Science*, *Electoral Studies*, *Governance*, and so on. She has authored two books: *The Problem of Bureaucratic Rationality* (Princeton University Press, 1994) and *Regressive Taxation and the Welfare State* (Cambridge University Press, 2003) in addition to numerous book chapters. She was a co-editor-in-chief of the *Japanese Journal of Political Science* (2019–2023) and worked as a member of the Editorial Board of journals including the *British Journal of Political Science* (1996–2016), *Perspectives on Public Management and Governance* (2016–), and *Journal of East Asian Studies* (2021–). She has launched neuro-cognitive approaches to social sciences and published articles on fMRI experiments of human decision and behavior in *Frontiers in Neuroscience*, *Scientific Reports*, and *Cerebral Cortex*.

*This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

*Due to the cancellation of the lecture by Prof. Junko Kato originally scheduled to be on this date, the center is pleased to present this lecture by Ms. Aya Rodriguez-Izumi.*

For this presentation, Ms. Rodriguez-Izumi will talk about several projects within my practice that are informed by the history of Okinawa since World War II and their contemporary repercussions as they manifest on that island and across the broader geopolitical landscape. From her vantage point as both an Okinawan and American artist, Ms. Rodriguez-Izumi will highlight methodologies that are used within her practice to foster cross-cultural understanding and ways that she creates work in collaboration with local and indigenous communities.

Aya Rodriguez-Izumi is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose work blends sculpture, installation, performance, community engagement, and documentation to explore aspects of ritual retention, cross-cultural identity, and histories that risk erasure. She was born in Okinawa, Japan, and grew up between that island and East Harlem, NY, where she currently lives and holds a studio. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally through presentations at venues such as El Museo del Barrio, MoCADA, the NUS Museum in Singapore, the International House of Japan in Tokyo, the Taipei Fine Art Museum, the Aldrich Museum, and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan among others. She was a recipient of the A.I.R. Gallery Fellowship in New York, a Jerome Foundation Fellowship at Franconia Sculpture Park in Minnesota, the JUSFC Creative Artist Fellowship, the Annual Artist fellowship at Socrates Sculpture Park, and represented Okinawa and the United States in the 2023 Romantic Route 3 Triennial in Taiwan. She earned a BFA in Fine Arts from Parsons the New School for Design and an MFA in Fine Arts from The School of Visuals Arts. Aya centers community building in her practice and work. She brings this sensibility to her teaching in SVA's MFA Fine Art Department and at the Studio Museum in Harlem, as well as her work as a board member at the historic feminist artist run A.I.R. Gallery.

*This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar

Tandem repeat (TR) sequences, comprising approximately 8% of the human genome, are linked to more than 50 neurodegenerative disorders. Accurate characterization of disease-associated repeat loci remains both resource intensive and technically incomplete. We introduce a multiplexed, targeted nanopore sequencing panel combined with HMMSTR, a companion sequence-based tandem repeat copy number caller optimized for targeted sequencing data. HMMSTR outperforms current signal- and sequence-based callers in terms of absolute copy difference and PearsonR correlation relative to two assemblies. Using these tools, we successfully characterize known or suspected repeat expansions in eight patient derived samples. In a portion of these samples we also identify unexpected expanded alleles with non-reference motif composition at tandem repeat loci not previously associated with the underlying diagnosis. This genotyping approach for tandem repeat expansions is scalable, simple, flexible, and accurate, offering significant potential for diagnostic applications and investigation of expansion co-occurrence in neurodegenerative disorders.

This presentation will be held in 2036 Palmer Commons. There will also be a remote viewing option via Zoom.

Illuminating Disparities of ABET Accreditation at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (March 28, 2024 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120812 120812-21845330@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 2:00pm
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Abstract: This proposal explores the accreditation status of engineering programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. Despite HBCUs constituting 3% of higher education institutions, they have played a vital role in preparing diverse and highly skilled engineers. While approximately 23 HBCUs have fully accredited engineering programs, 57% of all engineering degree-granting HBCUs have not achieved accreditation. Drawing from the theory of racialized organizations, this study investigates the disparities in accreditation rates and considers historical implications and stakeholder perspectives at macro, meso, and micro levels. The findings emphasize the need to address accreditation gaps and strengthen engineering degree programs at HBCUs to enrich the diversity and excellence of the engineering profession.

Location: Industrial and Operations Engineering Building
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

Bio:
Qiaomin Xie is an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research interests lie in the fields of reinforcement learning, applied probability, game theory, and stochastic networks, with applications to computer and communication networks. She was previously a visiting assistant professor at the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell University (2019-2021). Prior to that, she was a postdoctoral researcher with LIDS at MIT. Qiaomin received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computing Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2016. She received her B.S. in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University. She is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, the JPMorgan Faculty Research Award, Google Systems Research Award, and the UIUC CSL Ph.D. Thesis Award.

Abstract:
Many reinforcement/machine learning problems involve loss minimization, min-max optimization, and fixed-point equations, all of which can be cast under the framework of Variational Inequalities (VIs). Stochastic methods like SGD, SEG, and TD/Q Learning are prevalent, and their constant stepsize versions have gained popularity due to effectiveness and robustness. Viewing the iterates of these algorithms as a Markov chain, we study their fine-grained probabilistic behavior. In particular, we establish finite-time geometric convergence of the iterates distribution and relate the ergodicity properties of the Markov chain to the characteristics of the VI, algorithm, and data.

Using techniques of coupling and basic adjoint relationship, we characterize the limit distribution and how its bias depends on the stepsize. For smooth problems, exemplified by TD learning and smooth min-max optimization, the bias is proportional to the stepsize. For nonsmooth problems, exemplified by Q-learning and generalized linear model with nonsmooth link functions (e.g., ReLU), the bias has drastically different behavior and scales with the square root of the stepsize.

This precise probabilistic characterization allows for variance reduction via tail-averaging and bias reduction via Richardson-Romberg extrapolation. The combination of constant stepsize, averaging, and extrapolation provides a favorable balance between fast mixing and low long-run error, and we demonstrate its effectiveness in statistical inference compared to traditional diminishing stepsize schemes.

Title: “Stoic Anti-Slavery”
Abstract: The scholarly consensus is that only a few obscure Greek or Roman philosophers opposed slavery, but this ignores excellent evidence (Diogenes Laertius 7.121–22) that prominent Greek Stoics did. Why has this evidence been widely overlooked? This essay considers three reasons. One is primarily historical, turning on some possible counter-evidence from Roman Stoics. But two are surprisingly relevant. They rest on assumptions about what a person has to believe and do in order to be opposed to slavery, and similar assumptions are in play in current debates about what a person has to believe and do in order to be opposed to white supremacy or other forms of social injustice. I argue that the early Greek Stoics were in fact opposed to slavery and that their Stoic way of opposing injustice is respectable.

Event Description:

The DISCO Summit is a two-day interdisciplinary summer symposium about digital social inequalities in celebration of the third year of the DISCO Network. The DISCO Summit will include nine panel conversations about the past, present, and future of the intersection between digital technology, culture, race, disability, gender, sexuality, and liberation.

The DISCO Network is a collaborative, intergenerational group of scholars dedicated to envisioning a new anti-racist and anti-ableist digital future. The DISCO Network comprises six labs across five universities: the Michigan Hub at the University of Michigan Digital Studies Institute (PI: Lisa Nakamura, University of Michigan), HAT Lab (PI: Rayvon Fouché; Northwestern University), DAF Lab (PI: M. Remi Yergeau, University of Michigan), Future Histories Studio (PI: Stephanie Dinkins, Stony Brook University), PREACH Lab (André Brock, Georgia Institute of Technology), and BCaT Lab (Catherine Knight Steele, University of Maryland-College Park). The DISCO Network is supported by the Mellon Foundation.

This event is free and open to the public. The DISCO Summit provides a platform for scholars, students, artists, practitioners, activists, and community members to convene and engage in dialogue about racial inequality, histories of exclusion, disability justice, techno-ableism, and digital racial politics within the academy, the technology industry, and beyond. We especially welcome individuals whose interests lie in the intersection of the digital and identity and have found difficulties pursuing their endeavors at their home institutions.

Event Schedule:

Day 1: Friday, June 14, 2024

9:00 am - 10:15 am
Digital Optimism with Lisa Nakamura, Rayvon Fouché, Stephanie Dinkins, André Brock, Remi Yergeau, and Catherine Knight Steele
Optimism is the belief that the interval between the now and liberation is where we can act. Digital optimism is the recognition that there are elements of life that vivify and energize in the here and the now, despite and amidst the digital purgatories that we endure. Sometimes that energy is found in stillness; sometimes in refusal; and sometimes in moments of catharsis or joy. This panel will explore the concept of digital optimism as it appears in DISCO’s collaborative writing and work together.

10:30 am - 11:45 am
Digital Frictions with Remi Yergeau, David Adelman, Jeff Nagy, Aimi Hamraie, Jaipreet Virdi, and Mara Mills
In their manifesto on crip technoscience, Kelly Fritsch and Aimi Hamraie (2019) impress upon us that access production is a “frictional process,” one that requires “acknowledging that science and technology can be used to both produce and dismantle injustice.” This roundtable explores the frictional intimacies, practices, and material conditions of what it means to do the digital. In particular, panelists will consider myriad ways in which accessibility holds the potential to burn, grate, spark, and tug at new imaginings of crip futures.

1:00 pm - 2:15 pm
Digital Black Feminist Pleasure and Pain Online with Catherine Knight Steele, Rianna Walcott, Francesca Sobande, and Kishonna Gray
The experiences of Black women online serve as a harbinger of what digital culture affords and what is to come. This panel thinks through the relationship between pleasure and pain in the online lives of Black women and how Black feminist methods, epistemologies, and strategies may point us toward a better digital future for us all.

2:30 pm - 3:45 pm
Little Memes: Storying Race, Gender, and Disability in the Digital Studies Classroom with Remi Yergeau, Huan He, and Toni Bushner
How do students’ stories about themselves or others—their anecdotal relations—inform their burgeoning understandings of digital inequality and related concepts? In this session, we reflect on student interviews and instructor experiences drawn from a study of five U-M Digital Studies classes focused on race and disability.

4:00 pm - 5:15 pm
Black Digital Optimism in an Age of Despair with André Brock, Kevin Winstead, Brandy Pettijohn, Apryl Williams, and Ngozi Harrison
This panel will discuss what social media activity looks like for Black folk at a time when economic disparity, geopolitical extremism, and the ongoing pandemic loom behind every post, tweet, video, and podcast.

Day 2: Saturday, June 15, 2024

9:00 am - 10:15 am
Black Innovation with Rayvon Fouché, Aaron Dial, Ron Eglash, Michael Bennett, Aria Halliday, and Tonia Sutherland
Black folks have a tradition of being innovative in ways not understood and expected by traditional markets, dominant cultural formations, or information platforms. As the world is enamored, fascinated, enraptured, troubled, or simply confused by the potentiality of generative AI, is there a place and a role for Blackness to participate, contribute, or intervene in this next technoscientific atmospheric river? What will Black innovation and creativity look like in a world propelled by a network of AI trained on past utterances that did not see Blackness as meaningful? How can Blackness and Black innovation and creativity disrupt expected technoscientific futures?

10:30 am - 11:45 am
Digital Possibilities with Stephanie Dinkins, Hagar Masoud, Ria Rajan, Cezanne Charles, and Audrey Bennet
"Digital Possibilities" presents an intergenerational panel of arts practitioners who explore the critical role deliberate exploration and practical research play in understanding and shaping digital technologies and culture. The panel showcases the transformative power deeply engaging digital technologies can have on molding practical, aspirational, and equitable understandings of self and society. Panelists discuss how practice can leverage discovery, curiosity, out-of-the-box thinking, and leadership to mine and challenge opportunities, or the lack thereof, for beauty, potentiality, subjugation, and liberation that digital technologies often carry. The panel also engages thought about how future, present, and past technologies combined with narratives centering on underutilized, underrecognized communities can be coaxed or developed to produce technological ecosystems that produce nuanced, open, and equitably informed digital tools, platforms, and collaborators.

1:00 pm - 2:15 pm
Majority World Digital Infrastructures with Lisa Nakamura, Marisa Duarte, Ivan Chaar Lopez, Meryem Kamil, Huan He, and Jasmine Banks
Digital infrastructure shapes access, representation, and cultural politics. Indigenous, Asian and Southeast Asian, Palestinian, U.S. Mexico border, and women of color uses of digital networks are often represented as niche or marginal, sequestered in area studies, ethnic studies, and women studies, yet the U.S. and Western Europe are the numerical minority.

2:30 pm - 3:45 pm
Legibility and Community in Digital Studies with Huan He, Kevin Winstead, David Adelman, Aaron Dial, Jeff Nagy, Rianna Walcott, and Brandy Pettijohn
As junior scholars, the Digital Inquiry Speculation Collaboration Optimism (DISCO) Network postdoctoral fellows faced unique challenges negotiating the tensions of being legible for academic employment and serving digital studies projects that foster collaboration and community. This panel discusses best practices for being young career scholars in critical identity and digital studies.

EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Pattern and Process in Convergent Evolution: What Can Snakes Tell us about Phenotypic Innovation? (March 28, 2024 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117496 117496-21839385@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 3:00pm
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.

Preview: The concept of “innovation” - the origin of traits that facilitate transitions to new adaptive zones - underlies most of our understanding of major evolutionary shifts in ecological function. Although snakes have highly simplified body plans, their extraordinary history of repeated phenotypic convergence offers an opportunity for comparative tests of drivers underlying innovation. Using the convergent evolution of 1) defensive mimicry and 2) sensory systems across the global radiation of extant snakes, I will talk about tests of mechanisms that drive transitions to strikingly new and distinct phenotypic landscapes. By combining natural history collections, phylogenetic comparative approaches, CT scanning, and behavioral experiments, our results can challenge traditional ideas about the ecological origins and evolutionary stability of phenotypic innovation.

Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series (March 28, 2024 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120295 120295-21844518@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Abstract:
Traditional biomedical imaging techniques face throughput bottlenecks that limit our ability to study complex dynamic samples like cells, organoids, tissues, and organisms. In particular, hardware-only systems have inherent physical limitations preventing the simultaneous improvement of resolution, field of view, and frame rate. In this seminar, I propose that large-scale, machine learning-accelerated computational imaging will be the key to overcoming these throughput bottlenecks. I demonstrate a variety of examples from my research, ranging from resolution-enhanced, speckle-free tissue imaging with optical coherence refraction tomography, to camera array-based gigapixel microscopy and 4D fluorescence tomography of freely-behaving zebrafish and fruit flies. Critical to the computational scalability is the integration of physics-supervised deep learning into my reconstruction algorithms. Combined with scalable hardware designs, these high-performance computational imaging systems will continue the trend of my research towards ultra-high imaging throughputs, even approaching 1 trillion voxels per second, which will accelerate scientific discovery, big data generation, and tool development across a broad range of biomedical applications.

"The Loneliest Galaxies: Early Results from the Dwarfs In Void Environments (DIVE) Survey"

Although low-mass dwarf galaxies are useful laboratories for testing models of galaxy formation and evolution, they are especially susceptible to environmental effects. One way to untangle the effect of environment on galaxy evolution is to study galaxies located in extremely under-dense regions: cosmic voids. In this talk, I will present the Dwarfs In Void Environments (DIVE) survey, a Keck Cosmic Web Imager study targeting dwarf galaxies inside and outside local cosmic voids. The first results from DIVE probe the stellar kinematics of isolated dwarf galaxies, raising questions about the formation of stellar disks in low-mass systems. I will discuss ongoing and future prospects for this rich IFU dataset, and I will describe how IFU surveys like DIVE, in combination with simulations, are beginning to bridge the gap between resolved and integrated studies of dwarf galaxies.

"How NASA is Exploring the Secrets of the Universe, and Improving Life on Earth: The Increasing Role of Commercial Partnerships"

Thomas H. Zurbuchen
Professor and Director ETH Zurich Space, Zurich, Switzerland
NASA’s Head of Science 2016-2022, Washington DC, USA

Since NASA was established in 1958 by President Eisenhower, the expansion of human knowledge of the Earth and of phenomena in the atmosphere and space has been the priority of NASA. Discovery and exploration occur both with robotic and human exploration and it has changed how we think about the universe, our planet, and life beyond Earth. This presentation will focus on a few recent missions, to demonstrate the power of space as a frontier of discovery, and to show how these missions rely on teams that make the impossible possible. It will particularly focus on the evolutionary journey that involves NASA-base agency focused work, and increasingly commercial partnerships that are a critical part of NASA’s Science program.

In 1964, Horrocks proved that a vector bundle on a projective space splits as a sum of line bundles if and only if it has no intermediate cohomology. Generalizations of this criterion, under additional hypotheses, have been proven for other toric varieties, for instance by Eisenbud-Erman-Schreyer for products of projective spaces, by Schreyer for Segre-Veronese varieties, and Ottaviani for Grassmannians and quadrics. This talk is about a splitting criterion for arbitrary smooth projective toric varieties, as well as an algorithm for finding indecomposable summands of sheaves and modules in the more general setting of Mori dream spaces.

Effects of Caste-Based Affirmative Action in Governance on Socioeconomic Networks and Resource Provision (March 28, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117999 117999-21840336@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 4:00pm

Organized By: Department of Economics

We study the impacts of political affirmative action for historically disadvantaged caste groups in Bihar, India on village social and economic networks. To estimate the causal impacts of the policy, we conduct surveys in communities around the discontinuity in the state government’s policy assignment rule. We find that the marginal constituency assigned to the reservation policy experiences a drop in cross-caste network links and an increase in homophily. Consistent with increased homophily, reservation leads to less social learning when information is introduced to the community. While reservation is active, we find no change in the salience of caste concerns and no shifts in beliefs about trustworthiness, competence, or work ethic, among others, across caste. Finally, consistent with prior work, reservation improves access to redistribution schemes. Both lower and upper castes benefit, indicating no crowd-out at the expense of upper castes.

This talk is presented by the Economic Development Seminar, sponsored in part by the Department of Economics through a generous gift given by Jay and Beth Rakow. This talk is also sponsored by the International Policy Center at the Ford School.

Reactive nitrogen compounds and their contribution to new particle formation and growth (March 28, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117509 117509-21839405@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 4:00pm

Organized By: Department of Chemistry

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) followed by growth of the particles to ~50-100 nm accounts for ~50% of the particles that can activate cloud droplets. As such, constraining how aerosols affect cloud lifecycle, properties, and processes and, more generally, the earth’s radiative balance requires knowledge of NPF and growth processes. However, our understanding of NPF and growth remains incomplete because these processes are governed by a complex interplay between the chemistry and physical state of the atmosphere. Additionally, ambient measurements of molecules, such as amines, that have been proposed to be important for NPF are sparse, thus limiting our ability to evaluate the global importance of different nucleation mechanisms. In this talk, I will discuss our work on NPF and growth at the Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains (SGP) research station, one of the longest-running atmospheric measurement sites in North America. At this agricultural site, we investigate NPF and growth using a combination of long-term measurements of aerosol size distributions and intensive operating periods in which we measure NPF and growth precursors and chemically characterize the growing clusters using mass spectrometry. Our measurements provide insight into the contribution of various oxidized and reduced reactive nitrogen compounds to these processes and highlight the importance of ambient measurements in providing the scientific information required to improve our understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions.

Organized By: Department of History

Science matters. Over the last half-century, a field—called science studies—has emerged to explain why. Science studies accounts for science’s remarkable authority in many ways, calling attention to techniques of persuasion, regimes of labor, and forms of materiality that underwrite science’s power and practice. Uniting this diverse range of scholarly approaches is a focus on “knowledge.” Since the 1980s, scholars of science studies have focused almost exclusively on the production, circulation, and contestation of knowledge. Knowledge has retained this priority even as its basic categories—objectivity and proof, trust and truth—have come in for historical and social analysis. Science’s importance, in other words, is rooted in its ways of knowing.

This workshop looks beyond “knowledge” for alternative categories and concepts at the edges of science studies. Leading scholars will present a range of critical terms as possible futures for science studies, questioning the identification of “science” and “knowledge” that was cemented with the rise of “historical epistemology” over the last few decades. Drawing on theoretical turns in fields near and far, we will consider the possibility of a science studies centered on roots and vibrations, habits and beliefs, the sacred and the type. The workshop remains committed to the idea that science matters; what participants are after is a new account (or accounts) of why, new frameworks within which old binaries fade from view and new political possibilities emerge.

Join us on March 28 at 4:00 pm in 1014 Tisch Hall for the public event.

Lecture & Panel Discussion: Ukraine Reconstruction (March 28, 2024 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117317 117317-21839162@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 4:30pm
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

The Russian War against Ukraine ruins the cities and rich architectural heritage, monuments, and urban space. The lives of all Ukrainians have been jeopardized by this war that continues to brutally consume Ukrainian lives and territory. Over 6 million internally displaced people need affordable housing. While the rebuilding of Ukraine must be Ukrainian-led, it must be supported by an international community of expertise, funding resources, and conveyed with respect to the self-determination of the Ukrainian people.

The seminar Ukraine Reconstruction aims to discuss the current situation of damages of cities, architectural heritage and housing, thus convenes a keynote speaker and a panel of experts on topics of urbanism, architecture, cultural heritage.

The proceedings encompass the rich architectural heritage of Ukraine, lay witness to the present devastation, and support the future hope, both of grass-roots reconstruction efforts, and visionary Ukrainian-led planning for a radical, sustainable, and inclusive reconception of architectural and urban space in Ukraine. The aim of this seminar is to create a space for a dialogue, collaboration, to invite broader awareness and understanding of a war with global consequences, and to build new bridges between faculty, fellows, and students of University of Michigan and Ukrainian architectural education and scholars.

Convening a seminar on Ukrainian Reconstruction provides a unique opportunity for Taubman College to engage in a global design discourse on the ongoing crisis and forefront the understanding of how the architectural memory, heritage and culture of a nation under siege can be preserved.

The student works from ARCH 503/603/823 Architecture of Soviet Ukraine and thesis students of Professor Matias del Campo to be featured in the seminar presentation. This project aligns with the broader mission of Taubman College to serve the community, through dissemination of knowledge, exhibitions, and a greater understanding of global crises with global impact. Moreover, this seminar is aimed to be generative of ideas, visions and designs for the future efforts to rebuilding Ukraine, and Taubman college is at the forefront of the global architectural discourse tackling complex challenges in the intersection of architecture, destruction and restoration, heritage and cultural memory.

We all know about the importance of self-care, but have you ever thought about financial self-care? Financial self-care is any individual act that helps you feel better about your relationship with money, including dealing with the emotions and feelings that come up when you interact with money.

In this interactive workshop facilitated by U-M alum and financial therapist, Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, you’ll learn how to identify what uncomfortable feelings arise when you engage with money, get curious about where they come from, learn how to find more emotional resilience, and brainstorm ways to practice financial self-care with your peers.

Location: LSA Building
Organized By: Learning Community on Inclusive Teaching in Mathematics - Department of Mathematics

This will be an open discussion of ways to handle microaggressions in the classroom. We will start by briefly discussing what microaggressions are. Then we will go over some options for how to respond. The rest of the event will be practice with responding to microaggressions in small groups. We will cover both student-to-student interactions and student-to-instructor interactions. This event is open to grad students and faculty. Younger grad students are especially encouraged to attend! This event will go beyond what was discussed in teaching training, to cover the kind of interactions that hopefully don't happen often, but which may show up as instructors get more experience teaching.

Note: Sensitive topics may be covered, so if you would like a list of scenarios ahead of time or need some other accommodation in order to attend, contact Anna (annabro) or Schinella (dsouzas).

ABOUT
Story Lab develops executive-level presence and communication skills through storytelling workshops and events. To be an effective leader — at work, in the community, or in your personal life — you must be able to communicate with impact. Often this means telling stories that are meaningful to you and others, and doing so in the rich language and expressive style of a seasoned storyteller. If you can craft and deliver an effective story, you will be better able to convey your value to recruiters, inspire and motivate classmates and colleagues, and influence your audience. At Story Lab, you’ll find an immersive experience and an opportunity to hone your skills in a safe and supportive environment.

The p-adic cohomology of the Drinfeld and Lubin-Tate towers (March 28, 2024 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120667 120667-21845111@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 5:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

In this series of talks I will try to give an overview of the main issues that arise when trying to establish mod p and p-adic analogues of the theorems of Langlands, Deligne, Drinfeld and Carayol, describing the l-adic (l ≠ p) étale cohomology of the Drinfeld and Lubin-Tate towers. The methods are very different, based on perfectoid spaces, representation theory of GL2(Qp) and its inner form, as well as syntomic cohomology and the six-functor formalism due to Lucas Mann. This is based on joint work with Colmez and Niziol (for the Drinfeld tower) and Camargo (for the Lubin-Tate tower).

Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Lynn Hershman Leeson (March 28, 2024 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116245 116245-21836495@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

As part of the 62nd Ann Arbor Film Festival, this special program will showcase a curated selection of Lynn Hershman Leeson’s short films, followed by a conversation. Filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson will join remotely, and curator Julia Yezbick will interview her from the Michigan Theater's stage.
Lynn Hershman Leeson’s work cannot be contained by any one medium. Her practice is voracious; consuming both traditional artistic media (installation, painting, and video) as well as interactive LaserDiscs and synthetic DNA. Responding to the social and scientific technologies of the day, Hershman Leeson's work anticipates the quandaries into which we will be collectively thrown. Her performance piece as Roberta Breitmore (1973) underscored the gendered contours of personhood as defined by the state, laying bare the ways in which we reproduce ourselves as ephemeral simulacra according to these superstructures. She was working with chatbots (Agent Ruby, 1998-2002) downloadable to a Palm Pilot decades before chatGPT had broken into public consciousness, questioning the role that artificial intelligences will play in our lives. This program of her short film and video works highlights her long-held fascination with reality, selfhood, and technological reproduction, prompting us to question whether it is at all possible to disambiguate ourselves from our tech-saturated worlds. Her short films shown here distill the impetus of her decades-long work: a quest for freedom from the many constraints imposed on us by society and the potentialities as well as the pitfalls presented by the ongoing technological augmentation of our lives.
Julia Yezbick is a filmmaker, artist, programmer, and anthropologist. She received her PhD in Media Anthropology and Critical Media Practice from Harvard University. Her audio and video works have been exhibited at the Berlin International Film Festival, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the New York Library for Performing Arts, Station Arts Space (Beirut), the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Broad Underground Film series (Lansing), the AgX Film Collective, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit. Yezbick's works of experimental nonfiction are grounded in feminist responses to social issues such as housing and urban transformations as well as commentaries on gendered labor, identity, and movement and the body. She is a 2018 Kresge Artist Fellow for film, the founding Editor of Sensate: a journal for experiments in critical media practice, and co-directs Mothlight Microcinema in Detroit. Yezbick is currently an Assistant Professor of Media Arts and Studies at Wayne State University in Detroit.
FILM PROGRAM
Commercial for Myself, 1978, 2 mins, video 4:3In this short “portrait” of the artist, Leeson directly addresses the camera and begins to ask the audience the questions that she is still asking today: what is it really, that makes us human?
Seduction of a Cyborg, 1994, 7:17, video, 4:3Before social media, Leeson questions the logical end to our media-saturated lives. A cyborg is seduced by images and sounds of the world. Her addiction to the simulacra degrades her body as she helplessly witnesses the tragedies of history ultimately submitting to an existence solely within the cage of mediated reality.
Logic Paralyzes the Heart, 2021, 13:54, digital video, 16:9The first Cyborg, forged in war, now 60 years old, reflects on her life and her complicities with human tragedies. She wonders about the possibility of breaking free from her own programming and the human+cyborg liberation that might be possible with different directives.
Lynn Turning into Roberta, 1978, 5:30, 16mm, 4:3In this documentation of the artist transforming into Roberta Breitmore, a persona of her performance art in the 1970s, we hear the camera operator commenting offscreen on the framing and giving voice to the technological encapsulation of Brietmore’s becoming. Roberta Brietmore became the platform that fed into much of Leeson’s work on identity and the many extensions of our personhood beyond the reach of our bodies.
Test Patterns, 1979, 10:26, digital videoAn intervention of “aesthetic emergency,” this parody of a television talk show interviews “test patterns” about their life and images as a televisual device. The test patterns answer with psychopathic numbness, unveiling the narcissism within and warning that our media is only, and can only ever be, a mirror of all of humanity’s triumphs and flaws.
Cyborgian Rhapsody - Immortality, 2023, 11:47, digital video, 16:9Part four of the Cyborg installation series, this piece was written and narrated by Sarah, a ChatGPT-3 chatbot. Sarah predicts human’s ability to survive if only they can get past their biggest obstacles: hatred and discrimination, but she cries at the thought that she was not programmed to love.

An important goal of community-engaged learning experiences is for students to have a positive, humanizing, and sustainable impact on the communities they work with. Students reaching the end of a community-engaged course or service project should prepare to exit a community with these goals in mind. In this interactive session, students will explore what it means to exit a project sustainably; discuss the outputs, outcomes, and impacts of their project; identify important questions to ask their community partners in preparation for exiting a project; and discuss and work on their exit plan.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Detroit Center

Join us for an evening of entertaining discussion, where we’ll take a look at how dads have been shown in commercials over the years. We’ll watch clips from old and new ads to see how the ideas about what makes a good dad have changed and what the ads of today tell us about how we think of fathers now. It’ll be a great chance for everyone to share their own stories and thoughts on how these ads have influenced the way we see dads. Come be part of the conversation and explore the way fatherhood is changing in the eyes of the media and why it matters to our families.

On Thursday, March 28th, at 6:30 PM at the University of Michigan Detroit Center, 3663 Woodward Ave STE 150, Detroit, MI.

“Among the quintessential musical poets” – Dirty Linen

“If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert", says Richmond Magazine.
Vance was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. Starting out hoping to be an R&B and jazz singer once at college, there he discovered his affinity for the storytelling sensibilities of the acoustic singer-songwriter thing. Word spread like wildfire about Gilbert's stage-owning singing and playing, and Shawn Colvin invited him to be special guest on her 1992 Fat City tour where he took much of America by storm and by surprise. “With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god..” wrote the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Vance's new album, "The Mother Of Trouble”, features Grammy winner Lori McKenna on background vocals, Juno award recipient and Bonnie Raitt Grammy hit song co-writer Joey Landreth on guitars, and Americana-Roots master mandolinist Joe K. Walsh.

CCPS Exhibition. Modernist Glass from the Polish Past (March 29, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111352 111352-21834804@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass), the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes.

The collectors, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets, antique shops, and websites, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.

Organized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.

Learn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM

The exhibit opens on September 15, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

CES Exhibition. Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers (March 29, 2024 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115990 115990-21836008@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for European Studies

Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power, a cadre of European Jews—German, Polish, Hungarian, Austrian, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer, journalist, painter, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.

They did, however, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.

Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille, France on May 7, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary, Belgium, France, and Germany: Ilse Bing, Josef Breitenbach, Boris Lipnitsky, Charles Leirens, Yolla Niclas, Fred Stein, Monie Tannen, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.

This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world, seeing it through European eyes.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Historically, maps have served as a panoptic technology, assisting imperial powers in governance, discipline, and control. In this exhibit, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.

Dayrit’s artworks, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps, plot the extraction of natural resources, land grabbing, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.

Dayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural, urban, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.

Cian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography, archaeology, history, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state, museum, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.

< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >

This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

13th Annual U-M Pakistan Conference | Undoing Linguistic Hegemony: Rethinking Belonging and Identity Through and Beyond Urdu (March 29, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119293 119293-21842532@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 9:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Full conference details and program at https://myumi.ch/xqQb9

This conference examines language use in Pakistan. With an eye towards native linguistic diversity that has challenged colonial-nationalist notions of monolingualism, the 13th Annual Conference on Pakistan seeks to disentangle the relationships between national, regional, and local languages. Historically, studies on languages in Pakistan have highlighted the statewide recognition of Urdu, contesting regionalism established by Punjabi, pre-British Raj Persian courtly and literary works, and, recently, the social status of English in the globalized world. Significantly less attention has been drawn to Pakistan's linguistic pluralism. Drawing upon the groundwork initially established by Tariq Rahman, this conference will serve as a gateway to enrich and complicate the relationships between languages and the ligatures of the state, social movements, literature, devotion, and performance. Using multidisciplinary, multitemporal frameworks to elucidate these relationships, we seek to generate a lively discussion unpacking the language hegemonies associated with Pakistan and their current places within the multilingual spaces that its citizens inhabit. While engaging primarily with Pakistan, we aim to open dialogues that celebrate linguistic diversity across South Asia and its diasporas, particularly as the marks of globalization reveal the everlasting relevance of language recognition and support.

*Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Cosponsored by the Department of History of Art, the U-M Residential College, Arab and Muslim American Studies, the Department of History, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, and the American Institute of Pakistan Studies.*

This small exhibit features work in reproduction by Iraqi artists Hanaa Malallah and Mohammed Karim, as well as an original painting by Karim. Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.

In the United States, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized, under despotic rule, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students, and students who became mentors to new students, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.

View the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library, Tappan Hall, 855 S. University Ave.

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

About the installation:
Garden Repairs is an installation of paper textiles that loosely narrate the life cycle of plants. It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment.

About the artist:
Susan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature, culture, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection, documentation, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats, including installation, video, prints, and drawings, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.

Campbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Queens Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Drawing Center, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.

Campbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts, the Jentel Foundation, Beisinghoff Print Residency, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, New York Public Library, Detroit Institute of Arts, Toledo Museum of Art, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

My Gender States (March 29, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/116487 116487-21837095@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

On display at Lane Hall, Rogério M. Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In "My Gender States," Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister.

Using autoethnography, Pinto created a one-person play ("Marília," 2015) and site-specific installation performance ("The Realm of the Dead," 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas, gender states, and his life experience—a story of the struggles, fears, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In "Realm," audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he, a queer immigrant, carried with him. "My Gender States" is a selection of materials, images, and texts from "Marília" and "Realm" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states, gender confusion, gender embodiments, gender doubt, and reactions to gender stigma.

Rogério M. Pinto (Brazilian, American, b. 1965, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work; and Professor of Theatre and Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.

The photographs used in "My Gender States" are by Emerson Granillo (American, b. 1987); David Newton (American, b. 1993); and Nicholas Williams (American, b. 1994). The "Realm" assemblages featured in "My Gender States" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner.

"My Gender States" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor, 204 S State St) from January 23, to August 13, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.

Hosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 29, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835630@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 18
Organized By: North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program

Peter Dunn has historically been an object maker as a designer and sculptor. Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as
scribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding, augmenting, slicing, repeating, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception, sympathy, hierarchy, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.

Peter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan. He currently serves on faculty at College for Creative Studies

"Renaming the Magellanic Clouds"

The two brightest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way are most commonly referred to as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. However, Indigenous communities around the world have known of the Clouds for centuries—far before the first Western explorers catalogued them. Furthermore, Ferdinand Magellan (for whom the Clouds are named) was a controversial historical figure and is considered by many communities to be a symbol of a violent colonial era. In this talk, I will explain several reasons why astronomers should rename these galaxies. I will also discuss an ongoing movement to rename the Clouds, including a proposed resolution that will be voted on at the IAU General Assembly this year.

The 12th anniversary Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium will take place at the Michigan League Ballroom on Friday, March 29.

In November 2022, ChatGPT stunned the world by displaying abilities – answering questions, reasoning about problems, composing stories, writing code – that appear eerily “human-like”. Dramatic advances in artificial intelligence such as these raise pressing questions: What is intelligence? In what ways can models such as ChatGPT be said to possess it? In what ways do these models fall short, and what does this teach us about the capabilities of the human mind? The 2024 Weinberg Symposium on Cognitive Science features four world-leading experts on computational intelligence – from computer science, psychology, and philosophy – who will discuss and debate these timely and timeless questions.

Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The *28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons* (March 19 - April 2, 2024) showcases the hard work and talents of artists incarcerated in Michigan prisons.

The work is by men and women from all 25 state prisons in both the upper and the lower peninsulas: 24 men’s prisons and 1 women’s prison.

This year there are hundreds of works in two and three dimensions, including portraits, tattoo imagery, landscapes, fantasy, and wildlife as well as images about incarceration and visions that are entirely new.

The artwork you see at the exhibit is a testament to the resilience of artists and the life-giving power of art under the most difficult of circumstances–incarceration, isolation, and unimaginable loss. It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all, in the free world and behind the walls.

We invite you to enjoy the work and, if you like, make a purchase. All proceeds, minus necessary taxes and fees, go directly to the artists.

The exhibition opens March 19th:

Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

Curated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy

Andrea Carlson Future Cache (March 29, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95387 95387-21789316@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In Andrea Carlson Future Cache, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  

Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Special thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Margaret Noodin, and Richard A. Wiles, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, U-M Clements Library, and U-M Clark Map Library.

Care in Uncertain Times

As crises of public health, economic instability, authoritarian regimes, racial injustice, and climate change spread around the globe, millions are experiencing distress, conflict, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases, weapon wounds, and malnutrition.

This exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M Office of the President, National Endowment for the Arts, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and U-M Ross School of Business.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and the Oakriver Foundation.

Getting Down to Business: Chain Ownership and Fertility Clinic Performance (March 29, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/118203 118203-21840644@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 10:00am

Organized By: Department of Economics

Acquisitions by corporate entities have fueled the growth of chain organizations in healthcare. A chain is a multiunit firm under the same ownership and management providing similar services in different locations. Chain ownership has been credited with boosting firm performance in the retail and service sectors but has been criticized for prioritizing profits over the well-being of patients in the healthcare sector. This paper finds that chain ownership improves healthcare outcomes in the market for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Using novel data on U.S. fertility clinics and difference-in-differences methods, we find that IVF cycles increase by 27.2%, and IVF success rates increase by 13.6% after acquisition by a fertility chain. We provide evidence that fertility chains facilitate resource and knowledge transfers needed to enhance quality and expand the IVF market. For example, acquired clinics change IVF processes and procedures to achieve the IVF gold standard of simultaneously reducing higher-risk multiple births and increasing singleton births. We discuss how the fertility sector’s relatively minimal market frictions and information asymmetries may incentivize chain owners to invest in quality.

This talk is presented by the Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Seminar, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Jean Coven Speakers Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion (March 29, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119221 119221-21842420@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (March 29, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 84303-21621246@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

We Write To You About Africa (March 29, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 84304-21622103@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. 

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 

We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

"Indigestible over days and days”: Situating Transliteration in Dictée and Commons

James Kiselik (PhD student, English)

3154 Angell Hall

Friday, March 29th, 2024

11am - 12:30pm

Refreshments will be served.

Please RSVP here to receive the pre-circulated paper via email.

Paper will be circulated two weeks prior to the workshop.



Abstract: I develop an account of transliteration that engenders the cross-fertilization of translingual writing and historiography in Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s DICTEE (1982) and Myung Mi Kim’s COMMONS (2002). Transliteration, I argue, is a formal relation that foregrounds how different dimensions of text (e.g., sound, sense) can each be transparent or opaque to various degrees; such partial opacity makes visible what some readers cannot understand. I propose a transliterative reading method attuned to historical sites where systems of unevenly visible meaning interact and ramify. My goal is to inquire into the mutual inflections in these works between Korean-English transliterations and a modern Korean historiographical system that has the structure of a transliteration. Reading DICTEE, I trace the translingual resonances of a single transliterated word (“demo”) to show how this term is retroactively established as central to the historiographical system. Reading the transliterations in COMMONS, I propose an explanation for the thirty-nine conspicuous three-digit numbers that have bewildered the poem’s critics for over two decades: the aforementioned historiographical system has been revised to further privilege transliteration’s opacities in response to the harms of transparent nationalist histories.

CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | The Sins of Their Fathers: Can Political Families in the Philippines be Held Accountable? (March 29, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117311 117311-21839157@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/AWree

The 2022 elections saw the rise to the commanding heights of power in the Philippines of scions of two prominent political families: Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte, who were voted president and vice president, respectively. They are the children of two former presidents who have been accused of the most grievous offenses committed by a Philippine head of state since 1935, when first presidential elections were held during the Philippine Commonwealth, under the aegis of U.S. colonial rule. Ferdinand Marcos Sr. has been accused of grievous human rights abuses and of plundering as much as $20 billion dollars during his 20-year rule (1965-1986). Rodrigo Duterte (2016-2022) presided over a bloody war on drugs that killed thousands, many of them small-time drug peddlers or drug users in urban slums.

Are Philippine elections therefore not accountability mechanisms but more like laundromats that wash away the sins of the past? A cycle of wash, rinse, repeat, whereby political families like the Marcoses and the Dutertes can cleanse themselves of the taint of past wrongdoing and be fresh again?

This talk will examine the enduring hold of political families in the Philippines and the mechanisms that they employ to appeal to the electorate and to control the levers of political power at the local and national levels.

SHEILA S. CORONEL is director of the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism and the Stabile Professor of Professional Practice in Investigative Journalism at Columbia University. She worked for many years as a journalist in the Philippines and was a co-founder and director of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism. She is the author and editor of more than a dozen books. She has received numerous awards for her work, including the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia’s highest prize.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

The University Center for the Child and Family is offering a new virtual session for the ESDM Parent Training Group in Spring 2024. The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based treatment model for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The group is designed for parents and caregivers with children ages 5 and under who have diagnosed or suspected ASD or a Developmental Delay.

The parent training group is designed to teach parents these strategies to increase the number of intervention hours that young children receive. A secondary goal is to support parents of children with ASD/Developmental Delays and help them develop a community of parents in a similar life stage. Since it is a parent training group, children are welcome but not required to attend.

Requirements:
1. In order to enroll in the group, the caregiver must have a child ages 5 or under who has diagnosed or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder or developmental delay (e.g. speech delay, Global Developmental Delay etc).

2. Participating families must attend one group screening/orientation session prior to the start of the group, to ensure that they are a good fit for the group. This initial screening appointment will last approximately 30-45 minutes.

When: 12 – 1 p.m. Fridays, beginning January 26 (10 weeks).
Where: Online via Zoom

Prospective clients should call UCCF at (734) 615-7853 to schedule their orientation/screening appointment.

Heartfulness Guided Meditation (March 29, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88544 88544-21836925@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 12:00pm
Location:
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you nourish your spirit and heal your body and mind.

All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required.

Advanced Wellness techniques are taught on the first Friday of the Month and that session will be about 45 mins.

*What will you learn?*

The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice.

*Why Meditate?*

While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony.

*Event Details*

Late Pleistocene Movement of People and Ideas in the Southern Cape, South Africa (March 29, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120716 120716-21845171@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

During the late Pleistocene (~126,000-11,600 years ago) in southern Africa, we see the emergence of new technologies and an overall expansion of the material culture record of Homo sapiens. These changes have been argued to represent the development of increasingly complex technologies and some of the earliest evidence of behaviors that, later in time, are described as typical of our species. Current arguments focus on increases in cultural connections between groups as a primary driver of these technological and behavioral innovations, but we still have a limited understanding of how people were moving around the landscape, how information was transmitted between groups, or the degree of social interconnectivity present during the late Pleistocene. I address questions including: How did people and ideas move around the landscape? When did complex social networks between groups begin to form? And in what ways did these factors affect the emergence of innovations that contributed to the success of our species?

Abstract:
What does it mean to be independent and "lead a life of one's own," when the state holds considerable power over individuals? Drawing on the deep theoretical tradition that connects large-scale demographic changes and the "pursuit of individualism," I approach this question by examining individuals' fertility ideations and behavior in contemporary China. Marshaling a mixed-methods design that combines 115 in-depth interviews and six waves of national surveys, I ask: How do urban Chinese women and men formulate fertility aspirations and make decisions about parenthood, as they construct visions of selfhood? Findings demonstrate that among men, transition into parenthood is frequently viewed as integral to the making of an independent self, marking the beginning of becoming legible as an individual person with a family of his own. Women, on the other hand, largely view parenthood as the harbinger of the breaking of an independent self and the end of individual autonomy. I further elucidate how such sharp contrast is rooted in the gender and family systems of contemporary China that entangle the sometimes-contradictory scripts of authoritarian pronatalism, on the one hand, and market centric neoliberal development, on the other.

Comparative Literature Colloquium Series: Lindsey Green-Simms (March 29, 2024 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/119856 119856-21843674@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 2:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Comparative Literature

This talk looks at photographs and documentary practices of and by queer African artists who use images, primarily in domestic spaces, to tell stories about the imperfect forms of adaptation, life-building, and queer belonging on the African continent. The primary texts examined will be the novel The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi, in which a series of fictional photographs of the trans protagonist punctuate the story, and a photography collection by the queer South African photographer Sabelo Mlangeni. The talk will ask the following questions: How do photographs and documentary images – both real and imagined – constitute what Kevin Quashie would call “scenes of aliveness” for queer African subjects?’ How can these images of home life, safe houses, and safe spaces catalogue both the quotidian and the utopian, the fear and joy of being queer and African at this present moment? How do they stage an encounter with the queer self or the trans self that is not defined solely by insecurity or objectification? In short, this talk is an exploration of the ways that queer African creative documentation practices can be understood as acts of resistance that open up possibilities for intimacy, pleasure, and survival in unlikely spaces and at unlikely moments.

Lindsey Green-Simms is a Professor of Literature at American University, Washington, DC. Her first book "Postcolonial Automobility: Car Culture in West Africa" (University of Minnesota Press, 2017) was awarded the African Literature Association First Book Prize as well as the American Comparative Literature Association Helen Tartar Book Subvention Award. Her most recent book, "Queer African Cinemas" (Duke University Press, 2022), discusses LGBT African art films and popular melodramas in the first decades of the twenty-first century. It was granted a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowships Open Book award.

Multidimensional Screening with Rich Consumer Data (with Mira Frick and Yuhta Ishii) (March 29, 2024 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118221 118221-21840664@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 2:30pm
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Economics

We study multi-good sales by a seller who has access to rich data about a buyer’s valuations for the goods. Optimal mechanisms in such multi-dimensional screening problems are known to in general be complicated and not resemble mechanisms observed in practice. Thus, we instead analyze the optimal convergence rate of the seller’s revenue to the first-best revenue as the amount of data grows large. Our main result provides a rationale for a simple and widely used class of mechanisms—(pure) bundling—by showing that these mechanisms allow the seller to achieve the optimal convergence rate. In contrast, we find that another simple class of mechanisms—separate sales—yields a suboptimal convergence rate to the first-best and thus is outperformed by bundling whenever the seller has sufficiently precise information about consumers.

This talk is presented by the Economic Theory Seminar, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Mark Harms Fund and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Abstract: Neurons in cortex are connected in intricate patterns, with local- and long-range connections and distance-dependent time delays for transmitting signals. In recent work, we have found that spontaneous and stimulus-driven waves of neural activity travel over these networks, sparsely modulating the spiking activity of the local network as they pass. The waves represent changes in the moment-by-moment activity state of these networks, which in turn directly shapes neuronal responses to incoming visual input and causes measurable effects in visual perception.

Understanding how the networks of cortex generate these sophisticated dynamics, however, remains an open problem. This is due, in part, to the fact that connecting the specific structure of networks to the resulting nonlinear dynamics is a difficult problem in general. Experiments suggest one mechanism for these waves could be the distance-dependent time delays due to transmitting spikes along the axons connecting neurons across these networks. Analyzing the underlying network mechanism for these waves thus represents an additional mathematical challenge, as we need to consider systems with many time delays.

In this talk, I will present recent results from my group connecting the structure of individual networks to the resulting dynamics in systems of nonlinear Kuramoto oscillators. We introduce a complex-valued approach that allows linking the precise structure of connections in the network to the spatiotemporal patterns that will occur in individual simulations. This approach allows understanding these activity patterns in terms of a modification of the eigenspectrum of the graph adjacency matrix. This, in turn, leads to analytical predictions for the precise traveling wave patterns that will emerge in these systems. Finally, I will present our latest efforts to understand computation with spatiotemporal dynamics in neural systems using these nonlinear network models.

In massless QED, we find that the classical U(1) chiral symmetry is not completely broken by the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly. Rather, it is resurrected as a generalized global symmetry labeled by the rational numbers. Intuitively, this new global symmetry in QED is a composition of the naive axial rotation and a fractional quantum Hall state. The conserved symmetry operators do not obey a group multiplication law, but a non-invertible fusion algebra. We further generalize our construction to QCD, and show that the neutral pion decay can be derived from a matching condition of the non-invertible global symmetry.

Speyer's g conjecture and Betti numbers for a pair of matroids (March 29, 2024 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117197 117197-21838813@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 3:00pm

Organized By: Combinatorics Seminar - Department of Mathematics

In 2009, looking to bound the face vectors of matroid subdivisions and tropical linear spaces, Speyer introduced the g-invariant of a matroid. He proved its coefficients nonnegative for matroids representable in characteristic zero and conjectured this in general. Later, Shaw and Speyer and I reduced the question to positivity of the top coefficient. This talk will overview work in progress with Berget that proves the conjecture.

Geometrically, the main ingredient is projection away from the base of the matroid tautological vector bundles of Berget--Eur--Spink--Tseng, and initial degenerations of these. Combinatorially, it is an extension of the definition of external activity to a pair of matroids and a way to compute it using the fan displacement rule. The work of Ardila and Boocher on the closure of a linear space in (P^1)^n is a special case.

Stability conditions on Kuznetsov components of prime Fano threefolds (March 29, 2024 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120664 120664-21845107@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 3:00pm

The Kuznetsov component is a very important subcategory in the derived category of coherent sheaves. In many cases, it is shown that the Kuznetsov component can control the birational geometry of Fano varieties, where the first case dates back to 2004 by Kuznetsov on cubic threefolds. After the development of a tool called stability conditions, there have been a lot of breakthroughs regarding this subcategory. Some interesting questions are raised around this topic recently, such as the geometry of the space of stability conditions on Kuznetsov components, which is known to be a complex manifold. In this talk, I will start with the definition of these notions, and give an overview of some of the latest developments in this area.

"What is an oceanographer doing in Michigan?" is the question I am frequently asked upon sharing my role as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan. To answer that question, my talk with will pivot around two topics: internal tides and the billion-dollar NASA Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. Internal tides are generated by tidal flows interacting with seafloor topography, causing vertical displacements at the boundaries between layers of differing oceanic densities. Breaking internal tides lead to subsurface ocean mixing which in turn exert a strong control on oceanic stratification, the meridional overturning circulation, and the storage and transport of heat and carbon in the ocean. Despite being most pronounced below the sea's surface, these internal tides also create a measurable sea surface height (SSH) signature, detectable by satellite altimetry. The advent of the SWOT mission has enabled us to observe the ocean with unprecedented resolution. To discern the wealth of information contained within the satellite observations, it is crucial to isolate and remove the internal tide signals. Our research demonstrates that supercomputer-generated ocean forecast models can effectively extract internal tide SSH contributions from satellite altimetry data, offering a skill level on par with direct satellite data analysis. The fundamental benefit of utilizing these models is their capability to reveal comprehensive ocean water column characteristics with high temporal resolution, a feat satellites cannot achieve. This capability presents an exciting opportunity to enhance our understanding of oceanic processes at scales never before possible.

Counting mapping classes by Nielsen-Thurston type (March 29, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/119727 119727-21843495@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2024 4:00pm

Organized By: Geometry Seminar - Department of Mathematics

I will discuss the growth rate of the number of elements of the mapping class group of each Nielsen-Thurston type, that is, either finite-order, reducible, or pseudo-Anosov. We approach this question from the perspective of the so-called lattice point counting problem for the mapping class group acting on Teichmuller space, which concerns the number of group elements that send a given point into a ball of radius R about another point. In the case of a closed surface of genus g, Athreya, Bufetov, Eskin, and Mirzakhani have shown that, for the whole mapping class group, this quantity is asymptotic to exp((6g-6)R) as R tends to infinity. Maher has obtained the same asymptotics for those orbit points that are translates by pseudo-Anosov elements. We consider the remaining Nielsen-Thurston types: For finite-order elements we show the associated count grows coarsely at the rate of exp((3g-3)R), that is with exactly half the exponent, and for reducible elements it grows at the rate exp((6g-7)R). In order to achieve this, we introduce a new notion of "complexity length" in Teichmuller space which has several interesting features reflecting aspects of negative curvature. Joint work with Howard Masur.

BIPOC PLSG (peer led support group), is a drop-in, confidential healing space for survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, and/or sexual harassment, who identify as people of color. Facilitated by student staff, BIPOC PLSG is a place for survivors of color at UM to find not only community but healing opportunities, including anxiety-reduction, self-care activities, and mindfulness.

POC PLSG offers low-key activities as well as a safe space for sharing experiences with racial/ethnic identity, violence, and the intersection between both, as people are comfortable sharing. Survivors are welcome whether they experienced harm in college, or earlier in life.

This space specifically centers UM student survivors who identify as people of color; if you do not identify as a person of color, we encourage you to consider joining SAPAC’s general Peer Led Support Group: sapac.umich.edu/PLSG

Organized By: Spectrum Center

Join us for a free clinic dedicated to addressing the challenges of name changes for transgender and gender nonconforming people.

Learn about:
- how to legally change your name and gender marker in the state of Michigan
- how to update your Social Security information, passport, driver’s license, and birth certificate

Additionally:
- Legal volunteers will be on-site after the presentation to answer questions and assist with forms.
- Finger-printing services will be available on site with no fee. If you would like to take advantage of the finger printing services, please bring a government-issued photo ID.

PLEASE NOTE: There will be an officer from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office to offer fingerprinting at the event. This is a necessary step in the process for adults 22 or older, and providing the service in this space avoids the need to go to the Sheriff's Office directly and individually.

PARTNERS & SPONSORS
This event is made possible through partnership with OutLaws, Jim Toy Community Center, and Ann Arbor District Library.

U-M PRIDE MONTH

Uptown, Chicago, newbie Ralph doesn’t quite know what to expect during his first volunteer shift at Uptown City Gardens. It’s certainly not the vibrant, bustling community that passes through the green space, checking on their plants, composting their food scraps, meeting up with friends, and—surprisingly often—falling in love. After a few hours, Ralph begins to understand seasoned volunteer Donald’s claim that the garden is magic. In a series of heartfelt and humorous vignettes, Community Garden digs into the ways taking care of the environment helps people take care of each other. Come see it March 29th and 30th at 8pm in the Keene Theater!

A 2002 film by Lynn Hershman Leeson

Running time: 1 hour 24 minutes

Biogeneticist Rosetta Stone downloads her own DNA into an experimental AI program, creating a trio of cyborgian clones. The clones’ survival depends on injections of male Y chroma, only found in sperm. Ruby, one of the clones, ventures out and seduces men to secure the cyborg’s survival.

The DSI is cosponsoring this film in partnership with the 62nd Ann Arbor Film Festival (AAFF). The AAFF is the oldest avant-garde and experimental film festival in North America, founded by George Manupelli in 1963. Internationally recognized as a premiere forum for independent filmmakers and artists, each year's festival engages audiences with remarkable cinematic experiences. The six-day festival presents 40 programs with more than 180 films from over 20 countries of all lengths and genres, including experimental, animation, documentary, fiction, and performance-based works.

Films are not rated. All programs are intended for mature audiences. Some films have imagery of a stroboscopic nature.

Historically, maps have served as a panoptic technology, assisting imperial powers in governance, discipline, and control. In this exhibit, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.

Dayrit’s artworks, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps, plot the extraction of natural resources, land grabbing, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.

Dayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural, urban, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.

Cian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography, archaeology, history, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state, museum, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.

Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.

< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >

This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

Orson Welles as Family Man: Son, Husband, Father (March 30, 2024 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/115811 115811-21835631@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 30, 2024 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a unique glimpse into the actor/director Orson Welles’ private life. Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work, this display shows him in informal and familial environments, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth, humor, tenderness, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.

Culled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Welles was a teenager, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife, Paola Mori. 

It should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child, Beatrice Welles, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.

The exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The *28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons* (March 19 - April 2, 2024) showcases the hard work and talents of artists incarcerated in Michigan prisons.

The work is by men and women from all 25 state prisons in both the upper and the lower peninsulas: 24 men’s prisons and 1 women’s prison.

This year there are hundreds of works in two and three dimensions, including portraits, tattoo imagery, landscapes, fantasy, and wildlife as well as images about incarceration and visions that are entirely new.

The artwork you see at the exhibit is a testament to the resilience of artists and the life-giving power of art under the most difficult of circumstances–incarceration, isolation, and unimaginable loss. It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all, in the free world and behind the walls.

We invite you to enjoy the work and, if you like, make a purchase. All proceeds, minus necessary taxes and fees, go directly to the artists.

GUEST ARTIST BIO

Regarded “as among the finest pianists of his generation” (*WholeNote*), DAVID HYUN-SU KIM has been acclaimed as a musician who “rivals Golden Age pianists. [His playing is] brilliant artistry indeed, … nuanced and naturally phrased, clear and poetic… A performer of artistry, integrity, and interest” (*Early Music America*).

Born in upstate New York to Korean immigrants, David’s early interests were in math, philosophy, and chemistry, and he matriculated at Cornell University as a Presidential Research and National Merit Scholar in chemistry. He never seriously considered music until a life-changing encounter with Beethoven’s piano sonatas convinced him to trade the lab stool for the piano bench. He launched himself into music, working at Cornell with Malcolm Bilson and James Webster, before heading to Europe where he made his orchestral debut in Vienna and continued his musical studies in Germany as a Fulbright scholar.

He returned to the United States, earning degrees in music from Harvard, Yale, and the New England Conservatory. These studies overlapped with an increase in his performance activity, and he is now primarily a concert artist. He has performed as a concerto soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician in South Korea, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom, as well as completing multiple east and west coast tours in North America. A frequent guest artist, he has conducted residencies at Stanford, Bucknell, Indiana-Bloomington, Duke, and Pennsylvania State Universities, the Universities of Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, and Colby and Bowdoin Colleges, as well as serving as guest speaker and performer at the University of Michigan Piano Festival and the University of California-Berkeley’s Piano Institute, and appearances at the Banff, Orvieto, and Norfolk Music festivals.

David is also active as a recording artist. His debut solo CD of Mozart and Beethoven sonatas was recorded on a historically-appropriate Viennese 5-octave piano, and was acclaimed for its “great sensitivity to the music’s rhetoric, [yielding] movements that come across as journeys of discovery” (*Fanfare*). His follow-up project, a much-anticipated all-Schumann album a Viennese 6 1/2-octave piano closely modeled on Schumann’s personal instrument, was heralded as "poetry of the highest order... Schumann for the ages!" (*Skagit Early Keyboard Museum*) and praised as “endlessly fascinating… thanks to Kim’s thoughtful phrasing and 19th-century disregard for strict observance of time… [T]his familiar music yields unexpected depth and a sheer beauty that is unrivaled by performances on modern instruments. Kim’s interpretation is an essential part of our understanding of this composer, the musical world in which he lived, and the joy of experiencing compositions and playing of the highest order” (*ConcertoNet*).

In addition to his performance activities, David is active as a musical thinker and scholar. He has won two international IES research grants, and written articles and chapters on early recordings, musical notation, piano organology, and improvisation. One of his earliest projects argued for a new understanding of hairpin notation, and points to the radically different interpretive practice suggested by the performances of Brahms’ closest students and colleagues. His current musical research centers on interdisciplinary approaches to interpretive process.

A sought-after pedagogue and adjudicator, David has taught at Yale and Harvard Universities. His students have gone on to win prizes in international competitions and been accepted for graduate study at Eastman, Oberlin, the University of Michigan, the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, Indiana University, and similar institutions.


All events are free and open to the public, made possible by the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund. This artist residency is hosted by the Department of Piano and the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments.

Products from Pollution: Carbon Capture and Conversion (March 30, 2024 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119221 119221-21842421@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 30, 2024 10:00am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Global CO2 Initiative

Phasing out fossil fuels is a primary means to fight climate change, but it alone is not enough. Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit.

Many of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change.

However, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture.

Additionally, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal, an interactive block activity, and sample products made from captured CO2.

A Gathering (March 30, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 107870-21817768@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 30, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In Andrea Carlson Future Cache, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  

Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Special thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Margaret Noodin, and Richard A. Wiles, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, U-M Clements Library, and U-M Clark Map Library. For more information on the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians visit BurtLakeBand.org.

Care in Uncertain Times

As crises of public health, economic instability, authoritarian regimes, racial injustice, and climate change spread around the globe, millions are experiencing distress, conflict, uncertainty, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases, weapon wounds, and malnutrition.

This exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M Office of the President, National Endowment for the Arts, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and U-M Ross School of Business.

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and the Oakriver Foundation.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (March 30, 2024 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 84303-21621247@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 30, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. 

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 

We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

In this workshop, we will play a worldbuilding game fætures. Playing this tabletop card game, you are invited to creatively envision speculative worlds through modes of collective brainstorming and individual imagination. The game enables you to work independently but never in isolation from your team, and everyone at the table has the same power to shape the world. You may envision a utopia or confront it with devastation. As your world comes into being, your initial straightforward conceptualization will transform into a nuanced, intricate, forking tapestry marked by negotiations, tensions, and unforeseen combinations. You are encouraged to think, design, and world-build outside of the box and go off the beaten path. fætures is intended to aid designers, writers, creatives, educators, strategists, creatives and students brainstorm and ideate worlds and entanglements in speculative scenarios. fætures workshop is a part of XR/XF: Extended realities, Extended Feminisms series of events, performances and an exhibition supported by the Arts Initiative.

Seating is limited to 12 people. Sign up for the event here: https://forms.gle/B296Zx7A5FPxK6178

It will be a night full of dance, music, poetry, history, and pure joy. Named after the majestic cypress tree, a symbol of eternity and long life in Zoroastrian folk art, "Sarvenaz" embodies the enduring spirit of Persian culture. It's not just a show; it's a vibrant tapestry of traditions and innovations that we're thrilled to witness once again. As we come together to revel in the diverse expressions of Persian heritage, Sarvenaz becomes more than just an event; it's a cultural immersion that transcends boundaries and embraces the richness of our shared history. The return of this beloved show is a cause for collective happiness, and its new name and symbolic cypress tree theme set the stage for a night of enchantment, education, and celebration of the everlasting cultural heritage we hold dear. Get ready for an unforgettable experience where the old meets the new, and traditions come to life in a modern and vibrant showcase of Persian culture. Join us for a night of dance, music, art, and excitement to celebrate the Persian new year!Please refer to the following link to purchase tickets. https://mutotix.umich.edu/4667/4668?queueittoken=e_commencement2023~q_00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000~ts_1710988847~ce_true~rt_disabled~h_582574e2eff02d0ed96e6ada1c079512bbdb52bb32740ff1e9ce0bc3b9c332fc

GUEST ARTIST BIO

Regarded “as among the finest pianists of his generation” (*WholeNote*), DAVID HYUN-SU KIM has been acclaimed as a musician who “rivals Golden Age pianists. [His playing is] brilliant artistry indeed, … nuanced and naturally phrased, clear and poetic… A performer of artistry, integrity, and interest” (*Early Music America*).

Born in upstate New York to Korean immigrants, David’s early interests were in math, philosophy, and chemistry, and he matriculated at Cornell University as a Presidential Research and National Merit Scholar in chemistry. He never seriously considered music until a life-changing encounter with Beethoven’s piano sonatas convinced him to trade the lab stool for the piano bench. He launched himself into music, working at Cornell with Malcolm Bilson and James Webster, before heading to Europe where he made his orchestral debut in Vienna and continued his musical studies in Germany as a Fulbright scholar.

He returned to the United States, earning degrees in music from Harvard, Yale, and the New England Conservatory. These studies overlapped with an increase in his performance activity, and he is now primarily a concert artist. He has performed as a concerto soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician in South Korea, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom, as well as completing multiple east and west coast tours in North America. A frequent guest artist, he has conducted residencies at Stanford, Bucknell, Indiana-Bloomington, Duke, and Pennsylvania State Universities, the Universities of Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, and Colby and Bowdoin Colleges, as well as serving as guest speaker and performer at the University of Michigan Piano Festival and the University of California-Berkeley’s Piano Institute, and appearances at the Banff, Orvieto, and Norfolk Music festivals.

David is also active as a recording artist. His debut solo CD of Mozart and Beethoven sonatas was recorded on a historically-appropriate Viennese 5-octave piano, and was acclaimed for its “great sensitivity to the music’s rhetoric, [yielding] movements that come across as journeys of discovery” (*Fanfare*). His follow-up project, a much-anticipated all-Schumann album a Viennese 6 1/2-octave piano closely modeled on Schumann’s personal instrument, was heralded as "poetry of the highest order... Schumann for the ages!" (*Skagit Early Keyboard Museum*) and praised as “endlessly fascinating… thanks to Kim’s thoughtful phrasing and 19th-century disregard for strict observance of time… [T]his familiar music yields unexpected depth and a sheer beauty that is unrivaled by performances on modern instruments. Kim’s interpretation is an essential part of our understanding of this composer, the musical world in which he lived, and the joy of experiencing compositions and playing of the highest order” (*ConcertoNet*).

In addition to his performance activities, David is active as a musical thinker and scholar. He has won two international IES research grants, and written articles and chapters on early recordings, musical notation, piano organology, and improvisation. One of his earliest projects argued for a new understanding of hairpin notation, and points to the radically different interpretive practice suggested by the performances of Brahms’ closest students and colleagues. His current musical research centers on interdisciplinary approaches to interpretive process.

A sought-after pedagogue and adjudicator, David has taught at Yale and Harvard Universities. His students have gone on to win prizes in international competitions and been accepted for graduate study at Eastman, Oberlin, the University of Michigan, the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, Indiana University, and similar institutions.


This artist residency is hosted by the Department of Piano and the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments. Events are free and open to the public, made possible by the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund.

Uptown, Chicago, newbie Ralph doesn’t quite know what to expect during his first volunteer shift at Uptown City Gardens. It’s certainly not the vibrant, bustling community that passes through the green space, checking on their plants, composting their food scraps, meeting up with friends, and—surprisingly often—falling in love. After a few hours, Ralph begins to understand seasoned volunteer Donald’s claim that the garden is magic. In a series of heartfelt and humorous vignettes, Community Garden digs into the ways taking care of the environment helps people take care of each other. Come see it March 29th and 30th at 8pm in the Keene Theater!

“In such complete command of her gifts that it’s almost scary”—Allmusic.com

Over the course of her 25-year career, Susan Werner has earned a reputation as “one of the most innovative songwriters working today” (Chicago Tribune). With formidable chops on guitar (she began playing at age five) and piano (she was a guest on NPR’s Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz), along with a graduate degree in voice performance, she puts on shows that are a one-woman master class in musicianship. Although best known as an acoustic songwriter that came up through coffeehouses and folk festivals, the Chicago-based artist has written songs in the style of Gershwin and Cole Porter (“I Can’t Be New,” 2004), gospel music (“The Gospel Truth,” 2007), traditional Cuban son (“An American In Havana,” 2016), and New Orleans junk piano (“NOLA,” 2019). In 2014 she composed the music and lyrics to the musical theater score Bull Durham, The Musical (MGM). Her songs have been recorded by Tom Jones, Michael Feinstein, and Shemekia Copeland Her latest recording of originals is “The Birds of Florida.”

A 1998 film by Lynn Hershman Leeson

Running time: 1 hour 24 minutes

Tilda Swinton embodies Lady Ada Lovelace, the mathematics genius who developed what became the world’s first computer language one hundred years before computers were invented (and the daughter of Romantic poet Lord Byron). Her story is channeled through Emmy, a computer scientist researching artificial life.

The DSI is co-sponsoring this film in partnership with the 62nd Ann Arbor Film Festival (AAFF). The AAFF is the oldest avant-garde and experimental film festival in North America, founded by George Manupelli in 1963.
