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 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: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:Lecture / Discussion: Detroit Techno: Music That Influenced The World
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, May 21 from 6 – 8 p.m.\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center in partnership with the Detroit Techno Foundation and Paxahau is proud to present\, Detroit Techno: Music That Influenced the World. Open to the general public\, this event includes complimentary admission\, parking and light refreshments for all attendees. Due to limited seating\, audience members must register at http://umdetroitcentertechno.eventbrite.com for this event. Your ticket is required for admission on the evening of the event.\n\nAfter the Disco craze of the 1970s\, a new form of electronic dance music (EDM) began to emerge during the mid-to-late 1980s. From the city that brought the world Jazz and Motown\, Detroit was back at the forefront of a musical revolution with a new sound unlike anything the world had previously heard. This new movement became known as “Techno” and quickly gained a global following.\n\nThrough an audio and visual presentation\, Detroit Techno: Music That Influenced the World examines the early history of Techno and its Detroit roots\, influential artists\, technology\, evolution of the genre and much more. \n\nFollowing the presentation\, a panel discussion moderated by Tom Newman (Detroit Techno Foundation) will provide an in-depth perspective from some of the most influential people in electronic music. \n\nPanelists for this event include:\n\n”¢  Juan Atkins\, Techno pioneer\, Producer/DJ\n”¢  Dan Bell\, DJ/Producer\n”¢  Brendan Gillen (BMG\, Ectomorph)\, DJ/Producer\n\nModerator:\n\nTom Newman is the Executive Director of the Detroit Techno Foundation and has managed the main stage of the Movement Festival (Paxahau) in Detroit since 2006. A well-known DJ and Producer in his own right\, Tom has been involved with Detroit Techno for more than 20 years. For one of his most recent projects\, Tom was commissioned by Ford to create an original track using both analog and digital sounds from the 2013 Ford Fusion.\n\nPanelists:\n\nJuan Atkins\, a native Detroiter\, learned how to play bass\, drums\, and guitar at an early age. At age 16\, Atkins first heard electronic music on WGPR during a show hosted by DJ Charles \"The Electrifying Mojo\" Johnson. Atkins\, along with high school friends Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson (famously known as the Belleville Three) became heavily influenced by the fledgling genre.\n\nInspired by the unique sound\, Atkins bought his first analogue synthesizer\, a Korg MS-10\, and began recording with cassette decks and a mixer for overdubs. Along with Derrick May\, the pair started performing DJ sets together under the name Deep Space. Atkins and May took their mixes to The Electrifying Mojo\, who began to play them on his show in 1981. \n\nAtkins and May\, with the addition of Saunderson\, went on to form the group\, Deep Space Soundworks. This collaboration would also eventually lead to the opening of the Music Institute\, a club in downtown Detroit for local DJs to spin and collaborate.\n\nIn 1982\, Atkins rise to fame continued when he collaborated with fellow DJ and producer\, Rick Davis under the group name\, Cybotron. The duo released two songs\, Clear and Techno City\, which are widely credited as two of the most influential tracks in Techno history.\n\nBy the late 1980s\, Atkins traveled to Britain for the first time and was invited to perform at an event called a \"rave.\" Atkins soon became a staple of London's underground music scene and spread Detroit techno to the rest of Europe through record labels in Belgium and Berlin.\n\nDuring his career\, Atkins has performed under several different stage names including Deep Space Soundworks\, Cybotron\, Model 500 and Infiniti. \n\nWith hundreds of appearances across the world spanning more than three decades\, Juan Atkins’ innovative techno sound is still defining the electronic music world today.\nDan Bell is a DJ\, producer and record label owner/distributor whose impact has been felt around the world. Born in Sacramento\, California\, Bell grew up outside of Toronto\, Canada and later moved to Detroit where he collaborated with Richie Hawtin as Cybersonik on the record label\, Plus 8.\n\nIn 1991\, Bell started his own label\, Accelerate\, where he released a string of influential releases under the name\, DBX. In November 1994\, Bell moved behind the scenes and set up 7th City Distribution. At the time\, many smaller U.S.-based techno and house labels required distribution overseas and domestically. 7th City was created to fill this void.\n\nIn 2000\, Bell relocated to Berlin\, Germany\, and released his first mix CD\, The Button-Down Mind of Daniel Bell\, on Tresor Records. In 2003\, he released The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back on Logistic records.\n\nAlthough Bell’s career has taken him across the world\, it’s never long before he finds his way back to Detroit.\n\n\nBrenden Gillen is a founding member of the group Ectomorph and brings a unique perspective to Detroit Techno. The group released their first single in 1995 as an attempt to make Detroit music for Detroiters and not exclusively for export.\n\nThe group’s early singles led to epic status within the Techno world.  A strong underground cult following has continued to develop through releases on their own label\,  Interdimensional Transmissions. Ectomorph’s live shows are legendary for their ability to fluidly incorporate the improvisational techniques of jazz into their synthesized music.\n\nOutside of the DJ world\, Gillen has also worked as an audio engineering and producer. From mastering the first Ghostly projects to producing Wolf Eyes' Sub Pop album\, his experience in Detroit’s Techno moment is truly unmatched.\n
