SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Spectrum Center Ally Training
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Spectrum Center is pleased to announce training dates for the LGBTQ Ally Training Program. Pre-registration is required. The LGBTQ Ally Training Program\, started in 2005\, seeks to empower members of the University community to be active allies to LGBTQ people. More than just a Safe Space program\, the Ally Training Program uses a social justice framework to guide participants through a curriculum that bridges new knowledge of developmental theory to the lived experiences of LGBTQ and Ally-identified people. A variety of topics are covered in an array of learning modalities: LGBTQ and Ally development\, definitions and terms\, resources and referrals\, case studies and more. The curriculum also incorporates with mixed media presentations and interactive role plays. Participants and trainers approach the sensitive topic of LGBTQ life by creating a safe space for dialogue\, while challenging pre-conceived notions. The learning environment is active and the conversations are genuine. The LGBTQ Ally Training Program is open to all members of the community regardless of sexual orientation\, gender identity and gender expression. Participants affirm a commitment to supporting the right of LGBTQ people to fair and equal treatment\; a commitment to serving as a source of support and/or information about LGBTQ people and issues\; a commitment to learning about and promoting principles of social justice\; an ability to commit to training time.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:UMMA Projects: Amalia Pica
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by a desire for civic participation\, Amalia Pica's work often takes the form of temporary interventions on buildings\, monuments\, or objects\, documenting the artist's insertion of her own body into the landscape or her subtle alteration of it. The London-based Argentinian artist (b. 1978) works primarily with sculpture\, photography\, film\, and installation\, adopting a conceptual approach marked by wit and a sense of play. Perception\, time\, memory\, and a sense of how particular gestures read in different cultural contexts are central to Pica's work\, alternately highlighting moments of connection and disjunction. The promise - as well as the uncertainty - of communication is a persistent concern in Pica's oeuvre. Megaphones\, antennae\, podiums\, and signal flags are recurring motifs\, though rarely are these devices shown in a moment of use. Depicted at rest or disconnected from their functionality\, they become figures for potential communication\, carriers of a message that always remains hypothetical.
