Thereby, the audience walks away questioning...the artist, themselves, the world we've woven around us.\u201d\u009d\r\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future.

The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social, personal and generational backgrounds, finding a common theme in their work, which documents and\/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\r\n\r\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash, an internationally active independent curator, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit, Michigan and Antwerp, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums\/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\r\n\r\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago.

Geographical separation adds complications for some families; for others the creation of a multi-generational household presents challenges of a different kind. These challenges and opportunities are characteristics of aging societies and some other countries have already confronted them.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking, rhythm, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre.

Initial efforts focused on a $3 million dollar refit of the former USGS Claude Harris National Aquaculture Research Center and construction of new facilities to launch the recovery program. Regional recovery planning documents were completed simultaneously to coordinate efforts of multiple federal, state, and private conservation groups. Alabama rivers host some 95 federally listed or candidate species, including the richest mollusk and crayfish species assemblages in the world. However, many once wide-ranging species are now restricted to single or very few occurrences. The primary goal of the AABC is to establish new populations of critically rare species. This is achieved through captive propagation and reintroduction\/repatriation of conservation targets into unoccupied watersheds within their historical ranges. Reintroduction efforts are currently underway with 15 mollusk species, with numbers exceeding 52,000 individuals since 2010. All initial reintroductions are persisting, but additional stockings are anticipated to successfully establish self-reproducing populations. Additionally, because the most basic biological requirements of these species are often unknown, the AABC supports primary research efforts (e.g., systematics, environmental physiology, life history, toxicology) by partnering with universities and other government research laboratories. Cooperative efforts also extend towards habitat recovery in selected Alabama watersheds. Specifically the Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) work cooperatively with the ADCNR to provide habitat and water quality data (GSA) and administrative support (USFWS). The Alabama Clean Water Partnership (ACWP) links water quality, habitat information to promote on-the-ground watershed protection in critical watersheds. The aquatic fauna has suffered greatly from modern habitat perturbations, to an extent observed in few other places. However, with continued diligence and progress toward our goals, we have hopefully witnessed the last extinction for the foreseeable future and recovery is a real possibility for some species that are now critically endangered.\r\n\r\nSponsored by the UMMZ Frederick M.

In 2028 Paris, a mysterious African explorer lands with his aeronef on Terra Incognita. There, he meets a beautiful young Parisian dancer, who eventually initiates him to the pleasures of Charleston.\r\nAn essay in reverse anthropology, a burlesque and surrealist vaudeville, Sur un air de Charleston is a singular piece of art. A product of the roaring twenties, it can be construed as a critique of France\u2019s racial context, then at the height of its colonial Empire. But it also has to be considered on the much broader scale of transatlantic cultural exchanges. Thus, we start to envision some of the unsuspected links that irrigate and reconfigure the seamingly neat cartography of Western modernism. \r\nTwo musicians, Olivier Th\u00e9mines and Guillaume Hazebrouck, invite you with anthropologist Emmanuel Parent to discover this astonishing movie with a cin\u00e9-concert\/conference. The movie, accompanied by a live original music, will be followed by a lecture and discussion on the question of race within the artistic context of 1920s France. \r\n\r\nJanuary 24: WILSON SMITH \r\nWilson W. Smith III is a Design Director at Nike, Inc., Beaverton, Oregon. Smith is currently involved in Nike's Better World projects, and is a lead designer as a part of Nike's \"Innovation Kitchen\". After becoming a Senior Designer in 1990, Smith was involved primarily with the concepts of Nike's cross-training and basketball products.\r\nSmith established much of the design direction for Tennis footwear throughout the 1990s, and created many athlete-endorsed products including Andre Agassi's signature line. In 1997, Wilson Smith became the first dedicated designer for Jordan brand, and is best known for designing the Jordan 16(XVI) and 17(XVII). In 2003, Wilson became the Design Director of Nike Court, encompassing all tennis & racquet driven footwear, while also designing signature products for Nike endorsees Serena Williams, and Roger Federer.

Many of Anatsui\u2019s sculptures are mutable in form, conceived to be so free and flexible that they can be shaped in any way and altered in appearance for each installation. Working with wood, clay, metal, and\u2013most recently\u2013the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles, Anatsui breaks with sculpture\u2019s traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. The colorful and densely patterned fields of the works assembled from discarded liquor-bottle caps also trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange in Africa, told in the history of cast-off materials. The sculptures in wood and ceramics introduce ideas about the function of objects (their destruction, transformation, and regeneration) in everyday life, and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols. El Anatsui received a BA from the College of Art, University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana (1969) and since 1975 has taught at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. His works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Indianapolis Museum of Art; British Museum, London; and Centre Pompidou, Paris, among many others. Major exhibitions of his work have appeared at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown (2011); Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto (2010); National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka (2010); Rice University Art Gallery, Houston (2010); Venice Biennale (2007); and the Biennale of African Art, Senegal (2006). El Anatsui lives and works in Nsukka, Nigeria.\r\n\r\nFebruary 21: TANIA BRUGUERA\r\nTania Bruguera is one of the leading political and performance artists of her generation. Her work researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life, creating a public forum to debate ideas in a state of contradiction, focusing on the transformation of the \"viewer\" into one of \"citizenry.\" Bruguera's terms \u201carte de conducta\u201d\u009d (conduct\/behavior art) and \u201carte \u00c3\u00batil\u201d\u009d (useful art) define her practice. In 2010, Bruguera launched Immigrant Movement International, a five-year project that helps define the immigrant as a unique, new global citizen in a postnational world and tests the concept of \u201cuseful art,\u201d\u009d by artists actively implementing the merging of art into society\u2019s urgent social, political, and scientific issues.\r\nBruguera\u2019s work has been presented internationally at Documenta 11, Kassel, Germany and several biennials including Performa, Venice, Gwangju, and Havana.

Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author.\r\nWhat It Is (2008) is based on \u201cWriting the Unthinkable\u201d\u009d, a tried-and-true method creative method that is playful, powerful, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or remember. With What It Is and Picture This (2010), Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination, where play can be serious, monsters have purpose, and not knowing is an answer unto itself.\r\n\r\nMarch 21: KEN BURNS\r\nDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films for PBS for more than 25 years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made.

In March, 2009, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said, \u201c\u201d\u00a6 Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.\u201d\u009d The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films, \u201cMore Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.\u201d\u009d Ken\u2019s films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations, and in September of 2008, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.\r\nBurns' documentaries include The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mark Twain, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson, The War, The National Parks: America\u2019s Best Idea, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.\r\n\r\nMarch 28: CARMELITA TROPICANA\r\nCarmelita Tropicana (a.k.a.
