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: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. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22. For more information about Black Detroit 21 events and artists\, visit: www.detroitcenter.umich.edu/news/2013/1/artist-and-event-info-black-detroit-21. \n\nFor press inquiries\, contact: DetroitCenter@umich.edu or (313) 593-3584.\n\nThe exhibition may be accessed between 11 a.m.– 4 p.m.\, Tuesday – Saturday.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics
DESCRIPTION:The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover was developed to assess if Mars could sustain microbial life. Since liquid water is a basic ingredient for life –as we know it\, in order to understand the potential for life to exist in other planets\, we must first understand the behavior of water on them. In this presentation\, the Curiosity Rover\, its instruments\, and its landing site on Mars will be described briefly. Then\, the current evidence for liquid water on Mars will be discussed. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of Curiosity’s initial results. Professor Nilton O. Reno from U-M's Atmospheric\, Oceanic\, and Space Sciences department will be presenting this talk.

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:Performance:Beijing Drum Songs: Heroes and Heroines
DESCRIPTION:“Beijing Drum Songs” (Jingyun dagu) is a traditional genre of Chinese narrative singing\, one that flourished in Beijing at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Sung by one singer who plays a flat drum\, which is accompanied by an ensemble of pipa\, sanxian (three-string lute)\, and the sihu (four stringed fiddle)\, “Beijing Drum Songs” musically tells many stories from the Sanguo Yanyi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) and the Shuihuzhuan (All Men Are Brothers)\, portraying martial heroes\, treacherous villains\, and charming ladies. Currently\, leading singers of “Beijing Drum Songs” are all female\, and their performances musically underscore negotiations of gender relations in China. Ms. YANG Fengjie\, the featured performer is one of the most esteemed performers of the genre. The instrumentalists are members of the Tianjn Troupe of Narrative Songs.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CCS Chinese Documentary Film Series
DESCRIPTION:The film series is free and open to the public.\n\nA film by Nick Francis and Marc Francis\; Zambia\, 2011\; 75 minutes (Mandarin and Zambian languages and dialects\, with English subtitles).\n\nWHEN CHINA MET AFRICA examines China's expanding footprint in Africa through the stories of three people in Zambia: a Chinese farmer\, a Chinese multinational's road project manager and Zambia's trade minister.\n\nA historic gathering of over 50 African heads of state in Beijing reverberates in Zambia where the lives of three characters unfold. Mr Liu is one of thousands of Chinese entrepreneurs who have settled across the continent in search of new opportunities. He has just bought his fourth farm and business is booming.  In northern Zambia\, Mr Li\, a project manager for a multinational Chinese company\, is upgrading Zambia's longest road. Pressure to complete the road on time intensifies when funds from the Zambian government start running out.  Meanwhile Zambia's Trade Minister is en route to China to secure millions of dollars of investment. Through the intimate portrayal of these characters\, the expanding footprint of a rising global power is laid bare - pointing to a radically different future\, not just for Africa\, but also for the world.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Nanci Griffith
DESCRIPTION:Nanci Griffith has appeared at The Ark many times\, going back to the 1980s\, and each of her shows brings something new. Over the years\, perhaps no other songwriter has fused introspective folk songwriting with popular and country roots so thoroughly. On Nanci&#039\;s own 19 albums she draws on personal confessions\, a photographer&#039\;s eye for Texas landscapes\, and social and political themes\, forging a kind of homespun but often complex Texas poetry that nobody else has quite matched. She also has a portfolio of songs that became major country hits for other artists\, like &quot\;Love at the Five and Dime&quot\; (Kathy Mattea) and &quot\;Outbound Plane&quot\; (Suzy Bogguss). In the genre of the woman-hitting-the-road anthem\, Nanci achieved a pair of enduring classics with &quot\;Listen to the Radio&quot\; and &quot\;Ford Econoline.&quot\; Nanci&#039\;s latest release\, &quot\;Intersection\,&quot\; is described by Amazon.com as &quot\;an album about difficulties\, about anger\, about things that slip away and things that explode.&quot\;
