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.

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:2556-920164@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:20100207T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100207T190000 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:2220-918614@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:20100207T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100207T170000 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.

The members of Back Forty pride themselves on strong original material\; the band has five songwriters\, each with distinctive vocals that combine for some terrific harmonies. Says Robert Costa of On the Town (Grand Rapids): \"It is hard to pigeonhole the sound of Back Forty because it uses the elements of traditional bluegrass or soul or Irish folk or rock or whatever you thought you knew about a genre\, and it blows it up\, redefines it\, and puts it back together in a way you have never heard.\" UID:2605-920238@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2605 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20100207T030003 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100207T200000 SUMMARY:Other:Faculty Recital: Martin Katz\, piano and Stephen Lancaster\, baritone DESCRIPTION:American and French program including Ives\, Barber\, Cipullo\, Fauré\, and Canteloube.
