Among the items on display are: a watercolor “portrait” of a railroad bridge built in Prague in 1850\, original artwork by local artist Tom Pohrt for a children's book written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor\, a diary and photographs from a female UM student who hitchhiked from Ann Arbor to San Francisco in 1923\, a Spanish text from 1693 for those studying to be soldiers\, and Dante's Divine Comedy with illustrations by Salvador Dali. \n\nNew archival collections with samples on display include the papers of film director Robert Altman and writers Nicholas Delbanco and Richard Tillinghast\, as well as four separate women involved in radical causes such as Clarence Darrow's 1907 defense of union leaders accused of murder and the ecological costs of technology. This is the first opportunity for the public to see materials from the Altman Collection\, which is estimated to be 1\,000 linear feet in size and is now being sorted and processed for use.

More than 600 million years of life on Earth are traced through fossils\, models and dioramas. The Michigan Wildlife Gallery has a large collection of native Great Lakes birds\, mammals\, reptiles\, and amphibians\, with taxidermy mounts\, habitat scenes\, and the largest mastodon trackway on display in the world. There are also displays about some of the environmental problems faced in this region today. The Anthropology Displays feature artifacts from human cultures around the world. The Geology Displays on the fourth floor offer a large selection of rocks\, minerals and gems. These displays are updated periodically.

This exhibit includes photos from Vietnam and Grand Rapids\, MI\, along with political\, cultural\, and personal perspectives of the journey of Vietnamese immigrants to Michigan following the Vietnam War. It augments the Great Michigan Read\, the Michigan Humanities Council's statewide reading program\, and provides additional historical context to its book selection\, \"Stealing Buddha's Dinner.\"\n\n\"Stealing Buddha's Dinner\" is a memoir chronicling author Bich Minh Nguyen's migration from Vietnam in 1975 and her coming of age in Grand Rapids in the 1980s. Along the way\, she struggles to construct her own cultural identity from a menagerie of uniquely American influences.\n\nThe University Library is one of only six sites chosen to host this exhibit.\n\nAccessible during library hours\; see http://www.lib.umich.edu/hatcher-graduate- library UID:2556-920163@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2556 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:multicultural LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Room 100/Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20100329T161307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100206T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100206T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A History of the Bible from Ancient Papyri to King James DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, from the Special Collections Library\, shows a path of documents that led to the creation of the 1611 King James Version of the Bible – from ancient Egyptian manuscripts on papyrus to Medieval manuscripts to the printed book.\n\nThe earliest documents on display are Egyptian papyri\, including examples of a census record from the year 119 and the oldest known copy of part of the New Testament. Medieval manuscripts document the preservation of the text until the invention of movable type printing by Gutenberg around 1450. The early printed Bibles include versions in Latin and Greek\, and several that show the struggles among various political factions and church reformers to control the translating of the Scriptures into the language of the people. See the King James Bible of 1611 that became the accepted standard.\n\nFor Audubon Room hours\, see https://www.lib.umich.edu/audubon-room UID:2220-918613@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2220 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room/First Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20101111T175822 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100206T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Santu Mofokeng's Chasing Shadows DESCRIPTION:Santu Mofokeng\, one of South Africa's most prominent photographers\, began his work as a documentarian of the anti-Apartheid struggle. Eventually deciding to leave the field of straightforward photojournalism\, he focused instead on isolating the simple gestures of everyday life in South African townships. His work explores landscape imbued with memory\, loss\, and spirituality\, and forces us to examine any preconceived notion we have regarding exact locations of faith\, identity\, or community. The photographs serve to “reclaim landscape\,” examining themes of ownership\, and the relationship between the land\, power\, and money. In his extraordinary series Chasing Shadows\, displaced people reclaim their spirituality and sustenance even in the midst of relentless transition. His most recent urban landscapes go beyond social and political commentary\, meditating on the profound absurdity of living. Billboards cruelly highlight the impoverishment of the citizenry they importune.\n\nMofokeng has been the recipient of numerous awards. In 1991\, he won the Ernest Cole Scholarship to study at the International Center of Photography in New York. He was also awarded the first Mother Jones Award for Africa in 1992\, and more recently the Kunstlerhaus Worpswede Fellowship and DAAD Fellowship\, both in Germany\, and was the Prince Claus Laureate for Visual Arts in 2009.

The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

We believe that the close tie that arts have to every-day life makes them a powerful tool in confronting our problems\, supporting our beliefs\, and creating a spur for change. As a result\, human rights become accessible and humanized as we are able to take abstract concepts from an often rigid academic pedestal and infuse them with the passion and meaning of life. This symposium will showcase speakers and artists from all over to share their experiences with the expression of human rights through art.

This symposium explores new practices in documentary photography through the work of one of some of its most important contemporary practitioners. Since the 1970s\, Allan Sekula has been on the forefront of documentary practice\, expanding our understanding of the photographic “objectivity” in his dual role as both photographer and theoretician. Sally Stein is an art historian whose field is the history of photography with particular interest in American photography of the New Deal era. Feminist issues and methodology consistently inform her efforts toward an interdiciplinary critical perspective. Among the many questions this symposium will raise are the following: How can socially and politically engaged photographers represent the effects of violence and exploitation without re- victimizing their subjects? Can photographs depict the hidden networks of power that today characterize global societies? And is it possible for photography to document the world and simultaneously make its spectators aware of the shifting and contextual nature of photographic meaning?
