SUMMARY:Exhibition:Birthing Reproductive Justice: 150 Years of Images and Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Reproductive Justice -- the right to have children\, not have children\, and parent our children in healthy and safe environments -- is a movement and perspective that arose in the 1990s. Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Behind the Veil: Monoprint & Mixed Media 
DESCRIPTION:Casey Blanchard is a monoprint and mixed media artist living in Vermont. During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Birdpants: Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Missy Orge creates work that is evocative of scientific curiosities and mounted butterflies\, with a humor that sneaks up and inspires a much closer look. Her current work focuses on birdpants  ̶  tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed  ̶  and decidedly non-traditional  ̶  confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mediterraneo: Watercolor 
DESCRIPTION:Widely traveled artist Kay Cassill looks for the unusual and the most ordinary views to save in her sketchbook and camera. In her studio\, the sketches and photos give rise to watercolor paintings. Whitewashed walls clinging to a cliff and expressive views of a town as seen by a view of a single walkway are details in her paintings that help viewers feel that they were there. Cassill's postgraduate studies include the University of Iowa\, the Art Student's League in New York City and the Academe de la Grande in Chaumiere\, Paris. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York among others. She maintains a studio on Cape Cod as well as in Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Newspaper Diary: Color Photography 
DESCRIPTION:For Joanne Leonard\, preserving newspaper clippings is something of an urgent task since future generations may know only digital versions of these fragile pages of newspaper. Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography.  She is a distinguished Professor Emeritus at U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2013 CBSSM Research Colloquium and Bishop Lecture in Bioethics
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM) Research Colloquium will take place at the Founders Room\, Alumni Center (200 Fletcher Street\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109) on April 17\, 2013.  The Colloquium features presentations focusing on bioethics and social sciences in medicine across multiple disciplines.  \n\nThe keynote address is the Bishop Lecture in Bioethics\, an endowed lectureship made possible by a gift from the estate of Ronald C. and Nancy V. Bishop.  Ruth Macklin\, PhD\, Professor of Epidemiology & Population Health and Dr. Shoshanah Trachtenberg Frackman Faculty Scholar in Biomedical Ethics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine\, will present the Bishop Lecture with a talk entitled\, 'Global Gender Justice:  Violence against women\; whose responsibility?' \n\nKeynote Abstract: In some countries\, governmental authorities have done little to prevent or punish violence against women.  Examples of gender-based violence include not only intimate partner violence\, but also rape as a weapon of war\, civilian rape\, and killing condoned in so-called 'honor cultures.'  Can a theory of global justice shed light on whether external governments or non-governmental groups should take responsibility for remedying the situation?  Who has the responsibility to respond to human rights violations?\n\nThe Bishop Lecture in Bioethics will be jointly presented by the Bishop Lectureship in Bioethics fund and by the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM). \n\nFor more information or to register: http://cbssm.org/events\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: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:Lecture / Discussion:Yahoo! Seminar: Public Libraries as Partners in Development
DESCRIPTION:Barely two decades ago\, public access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) was high on the global development agenda as the best approach to making computers and the internet available to people in low and middle income countries.\n\nPublic libraries\, however\, have been conspicuously absent from this agenda\, with the vast majority of initiatives over this period channeled through non-library institutions. As a result\, only a small fraction of public libraries in the developing world have been equipped with computers and the internet.\n\nToday\, public libraries are making a renewed effort for the attention of the international development and ICT community. However\, this comes at a time when the value of public access to ICTs is being questioned. This is due to a variety of factors\, including doubts about the socio-economic impacts of public access venues to date\, sustainability challenges\, and above all\, the mobile phone revolution.\n\nIs public access ICTs a phenomenon whose time has come and gone? Or has the international development community erred in dismissing the benefits of public access ICTs and public libraries\, which may offer a superior model for delivering ICT resources and services?\n\nDrawing on research at the Technology & Social Change Group at the University of Washington Information School\, Chris Coward will discuss recent findings about the impact of public access ICTs and opportunities for public libraries in future international development efforts.\n\nChris Coward is the co-founder\, principal research scientist\, and director of the Technology & Social Change Group (TASCHA) at the University of Washington Information School. Under his leadership\, TASCHA has grown in size and scope over the last decade\, encompassing research in 50 countries.\n\nChris specializes in designing research programs that improve policy and practice\, typically by working with organizations at the forefront of implementing technology programs for social and economic development. The role of intermediary institutions\, such as community organizations and libraries\, is a common theme in his work.

SUMMARY:Performance:Holly Near
DESCRIPTION:Holly Near hits the road introducing her new two CD Peace Becomes You. For the first time in many years\, she is traveling with a band. The new show is vibrant\, funny\, smart\, musical and uplifting. The best test of any show is the audience and they are saying Holly is singing better than ever - not to mention that the audience itself is a reunion of progressive thinkers! The new material is challenging and contemporary . The old songs come alive in a new way with the addition of a strong rhythm section. Holly Near is a distinguished ambassador for social change\, one of the Thousand Women for Peace collectively nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. New York Times says \" \"Miss Near”¦. belongs to the folk tradition of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers”. Holly has also been a pioneer for women in music\, starting her own independent record company back in 1972. For more than forty years\, Near has put her gentle wit\, big loving spirit and powerful songwriting to work for peace in the world. Holly Near can entertain like a cabaret singer and challenge the mind like a philosophy professor. One fan said\, \"Holly Near is a divine combination of Judy Garland and Pete Seeger.\" Well\, that is pretty much fun.
