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:2556-920167@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:20100210T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100210T190000 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:2220-918617@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:20100210T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100210T170000 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.
