SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding)\, oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper). Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Raoul Wallenberg and Warsaw Ghetto Uprising–OLLI Study Group (50+)
DESCRIPTION:The hunger for heroism transformed a resourceful and brave Swedish businessman into a superhuman rescuer. However\, many of the achievements attributed to him may not have taken place. Wallenberg was a less important figure to the Jews of Budapest than Dr. Lutz\, the Swiss diplomat. The prevailing view in the first decades after the Holocaust was that the Jews of Europe “went to death like lemmings.” The glorification of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising implies that it was more honorable to die in the streets of Warsaw than in gas chambers of Treblinka\, but survivors like Dr. Tanay\, the instructor for this class\, believe that it was more honorable to struggle to survive than to be killed in a futile effort to resist.\n

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:CCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Martin Powers\, Sally Michelson Davidson Professor of Chinese Arts and Cultures\, University of Michigan. In both modern and pre-modern critical writing\, both \"East and West\,\" the brushstroke eventually came to be characterized as a vehicle of personal expression in defiance of the \"stifling\" rules of naturalistic representation.   This talk surveys the cultural politics of the brushstroke in debates between and among European\, American\, and Chinese intellectuals\, over a period of four centuries.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jodi Forlizzi: The Death of User-Centered Design
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Jodi Forlizzi will share some nascent ideas about why and how the the field of HCI should move beyond user-centered design in framing problems and creating solutions. In the past three decades\, topics of interest within HCI have migrated from usability of desktop computers for office workers to complex\, societal problems including healthcare and sustainability. Forlizzi finds that current HCI approaches\, inspired by user-centered design\, are insufficient to appropriately take on these new challenges. Instead\, Forlizzi proposes that we take a service design approach and conceive of product service systems to look at problems holistically\, and to consider the implications of what we might design.\n\nJodi Forlizzi is an Associate Professor of Design and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University\, in Pittsburgh\, PA. She also leads the Human-Systems Interaction Group of the Quality of Life Technology Center\, an NSF Engineering Research Center. Jodi is an interaction designer who examines theories of experience\, emotion\, and social product use as they relate to interaction design. Other research and practice centers on notification systems ranging from peripheral displays to embodied robots\, with a special focus on the social behavior evoked by these systems. One recent system is Snackbot\, a robot that delivers snacks and encourages people to make healthy choices.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queering Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:Categorical designation of the Caribbean as \"superlatively homophobic” blinds us to the modes of livelihood that reside within the region and erases the presence of queer citizens. This lecture examines Kareem J. Mortimer’s Children of God (2011) alongside Patricia Powell’s A Small Gathering of Bones for the ways in which the filmmaker and author deploy space to craft notions of un/belonging\, ownership\, and social ambivalence with regard to sexual expression by sexual minorities in the Caribbean. This lecture also examines how local Caribbean activists create queer cartographies in response to state-sanctioned violence.\n\nMichelle Rowley's  research interests address issues of gender and development\, the politics of welfare\, as well as state responses to questions of Caribbean women's reproductive health and well being and rights for sexual minorities. Her publications include \"When the Post-Colonial State Bureaucratizes Gender: Charting Trinidadian Women's Centrality within the Margins\,\" \"Where the Streets Have No Name: Getting Development Out of the (RED)\,\" \"Rethinking Interdisciplinarity: Meditations on the Sacred Possibilities of an Erotic Feminist Pedagogy\,\" and \"Whose Time Is It?: Gender and Humanism in Contemporary Caribbean Feminist Advocacy.\" Her book is entitled Feminist Advocacy and Gender Equity in the Anglophone Caribbean: Envisioning a Politics of Coalition (Routledge\, 2011).\n\nThis lecture is part of IRWG's Transitions and Ruptures series and is cosponsored by Afroamerican and African Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Thomas de Waal\, senior associate\, Russia and Eurasia Program\, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.\n\nGeorgia is an enigma. Along with Kyrgyzstan and Moldova\, it is the most democratic country in the former Soviet Union outside the Baltic States. The October 2012 parliamentary elections witnessed a rare peaceful transfer of power at the ballot box. Yet Georgia resists easy definition. Europe\, Russia\, the United States\, and Georgian nationalist tendencies all compete for space in Georgian society. For 20 years the country has had a strongly pro-Western foreign policy and difficult relations with Russia\, yet opinion polls suggest that Georgians are more favorable towards Russians than Turks. Georgia has suffered by begin idealized as a beacon of democracy by outsiders with their own ideological agendas\, but much of what is described as democracy in Georgia may be better termed competition or pluralism. In this lecture Thomas de Waal will aim to unravel some of the historical and political mysteries of this intriguing country.\n\nThomas de Waal is a senior associate in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\, specializing primarily in the South Caucasus region\, as well as in the wider Black Sea region. He is an expert on the unresolved conflicts of the South Caucasus: Abkhazia\, Nagorny Karabakh\, and South Ossetia. De Waal has worked as a journalist for the BBC World Service\, the Moscow Times\, the Times of London\, and the Economist. He is the co-author (with Carlotta Gall) of the book Chechnya: Calamity in the Caucasus (NYU Press\, 1997)\, for which the authors were awarded the James Cameron Prize for Distinguished Reporting. He is author of the authoritative book on the Karabakh conflict\, Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War (NYU Press\, 2003)\, and his latest book is The Caucasus: An Introduction (Oxford University Press\, 2010).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author's Forum Presents: American Night: The Literary Left in the Era of the Cold War\, A Conversation with Alan Wald\, Howard Brick\, and Dina Karageorgos
DESCRIPTION:American Night\, the final volume of an unprecedented trilogy\, brings Alan Wald's multigenerational history of Communist writers to a poignant climax. Using new research to explore the intimate lives of novelists\, poets\, and critics during the Cold War\, Wald reveals a radical community longing for the rebirth of the social vision of the 1930s and struggling with a loss of moral certainty as the Communist worldview was being called into question. The resulting literature\, Wald shows\, is a haunting record of fracture and struggle linked by common structures of feeling\, ones more suggestive of the \"negative dialectics\" of Theodor Adorno than the traditional social realism of the Left.\n\nAlan M. Wald is the H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor of English Literature and American Culture at the University of Michigan and is the recipient of the Mary C. Turpie Prize of the American Studies Association. The rest of his trilogy includes Exiles from a Future Time: The Forging of the Mid-Twentieth-Century Literary Left and Trinity of Passion: The Literary Left and the Antifascist Crusade. He has been awarded the Mary C. Turpie Prize by the American Studies Association.\n\nHoward Brick is Louis Evans Professor of History at U-M\, and author of Transcending Capitalism: Visions of a New Society in Modern American Thought.\n\nThe Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, University Library\, Great Lakes Literary Arts Center\, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.\n\nAdditional sponsorship for this event is provided by the departments of English Language and Literature and History.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Sara Watkins
DESCRIPTION:\"Sun Midnight Sun\,\" the second solo album from acclaimed singer\, songwriter\, and fiddle player Sara Watkins\, is out now on Nonesuch Records. Produced by guitarist\, singer\, and songwriter Blake Mills\, co-founder of the band Simon Dawes\, the album features special guest appearances by Fiona Apple\, Jackson Browne\, Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes)\, Benmont Tench\, and Sean Watkins. \"Sun Midnight Sun\" follows Sara's critically acclaimed 2009 self-titled solo debut produced by John Paul Jones. In the three years since that release\, she has been busy touring the world as guest fiddle player and vocalist with the Decemberists and joining Garrison Keillor on his nationwide Summer Love performance tours\, as well as acting as his first and only guest host for \"A Prairie Home Companion\" broadcasts. More than bluegrass\, more than pop\, more than alternative\, the music of Sara Watkins has grown into something unique. USA Today calls the new album \"a gorgeous pop masterpiece with a string player's sensibility.\" The new-folk band Field Report (that's an anagram of \"Porterfield\") opens.
