SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference
DESCRIPTION:The majority of college students with depression\, anxiety\, and other mental health disorders do not seek treatment. Unfortunately\, many students who are struggling with depressive illnesses may instead utilize unhealthy coping mechanisms – including drinking\, drug use\, and self-injurious behaviors – to help manage their symptoms. \n\nJoin us for the 11th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference to learn about new research findings and model programs to help campuses better identify students who may be “self-medicating” or engaging in other harmful behaviors\, and support these students in moving toward healthy self-management and effective treatment.\n\nThis conference is targeted to students\, parents\, and professionals who work with college students in any capacity (including psychologists\, physicians\, nurses\, counselors\, university leaders\, administrators\, faculty\, academic advisors\, student affairs and housing staff\, and other educational specialists).\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Black and White - Together?–OLLI (50+) Study Group 
DESCRIPTION:Race is arguably the most serious problem in American history and culture. Our history books have done a poor job of relating this problem. This course examines black and white relations from early slavery\, which led to the Civil War\, the Jim Crow era and the Civil Rights struggle of the mid-20th century. Lerone Bennett's \"Before The Mayflower\" is a highly recommended reading. Kenneth W. Phifer is a retired Unitarian Universalist \nMinister.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\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. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. 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.\n\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.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. 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. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Engaging Diversity\; More Important Than Ever\,\" Talk by Pat Gurin\, Nancy Cantor Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Three key challenges compel the United States to deepen and to cement its engagement with diversity in higher education.  One\, the demographic challenge: The United States will be a majority-minority country sometime around 2045.  That new reality will oblige us  to talk and solve problems across ethnic/racial communities and other dissimilarities.  Colleges and universities will continue to be the primary venues where dialogue and collaborative skills  can be fostered.  Short of major changes in racial/ethnic residential patterns and urban-rural divisions\, K-12 schools will continue to be highly segregated\, minimizing possibilities for younger people to gain intercultural skills.  Two\, the democracy challenge:  All members of society must be offered a place at the table of community and political discourse.  The dramatic increase in economic inequality and a corresponding drop in upward mobility in the U.S. has given rise to political fault-lines drawn between the “haves” and “have-nots.” Now more than ever\, the United States requires leaders who are comfortable and effective crossing class\, racial/ethnic\, rural-urban boundaries to create inclusive political communities of people from all walks of life.  Third\, the dispersion challenge:  In what Fareed Zakaria calls “the rise of the rest\,” many other nations are growing economically and demanding to share leadership and power in the world.  Higher education is the primary institution for teaching the world’s historical and cultural knowledge\, and for assuring that future U.S. leaders are equipped to negotiate\, collaborate and dialogue across differences.  \n\nThis lecture will delineate the importance of engaging diversity so that higher education produces leaders who can address these demographic\, democracy\, and dispersion challenges.  Professor Gurin will present social science evidence on the educational benefit of diversity that has played a role in legal challenges to affirmative action.  She will draw especially from a large-scale\, multi-university experimental study of intergroup dialogue\, a program\, first launched in the 1990s at the University of Michigan\, that has spread across many colleges and universities here and abroad\, to teach the kinds of sentiments and skills that people will increasingly need in order to be effective leaders in 2lst century global relationships.  \n\nPatricia Gurin\, Ph.D. is Nancy Cantor Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Psychology and Women's Studies\; Faculty Associate\, Research Center for Group Dynamics\, Institute for Social Research\; and Director of Research\, Program on Intergroup Relations.\n \nThe Nancy Cantor Lecture is sponsored by the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.\n
