SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

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:Exhibit: Plainly Spoken
DESCRIPTION:View a range of binding ideas that came to fruition: models that replicate books from a historical period\, cut-aways that visually reveal their hidden structure\, design bindings that interpret a concept from the text\, and artists’ bindings that play with structures and materials to create something new.\n\nIn this traveling exhibit the Midwest Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers showcases archivist and book conservator Julia Miller’s text Books Will Speak Plain. Incorporating 30 years of her notes and observations\, the 500-page handbook is aimed at conservators\, collectors\, librarians\, and book lovers\, for the identification and description of book structures and styles. Bookbinders from across the country acquired the text of the book in folded sheets and\, months later\, presented them to a jury as completed books with custom bindings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Anthropologizing Europe: Late 18th and Early 19th Century Indo-Persian Accounts of “Native” Europeans
DESCRIPTION:Modern Europe was a topic of intense interest to Indo-Persianate travellers. They saw Europe's rise to prominence in the world as a recent historical development\, and they sought through study to uncover the mechanisms of social change which made it possible. Writing in the late 1810s\, Mirza Salih Shirazi\, for instance\, argued that up to 1500 the people of England had been “wicked reprobates and blood-shedders” (sharirah mufsid va khunriz). Riza Quli Mirza believed that “in earlier times Europeans\, particularly the English\, were like wild beasts and animals and lacked industry.” Due to what these intellectuals saw as social disorder and extreme oppression\, Europeans who had been deprived of tranquility left the continent for the New World.  Writing in the 1830s\, he Reza Quli argued that a new order in England had emerged only about 1600 and viewed the country's recent wealth as based solely on commerce and industrial invention. \n\nTo elucidate the type of anthropological and sociological insight embedded in early nineteenth-century Persian travelogues\, this paper focuses particularly on the writings of Mirza Abu Talib Lacknawi. It looks at his evaluation of the “modern age” characteristics of the English and analyzes a section of his travel report devoted to the “Virtues and Vices of the English” (zikr-i fazayil va razayil-i Inglish)\, written following the conclusion of his European journey in 1802. Using the taxonomy of philosophical ethics\, Mirza Abu Talib divided his observations into broad categories of virtues (fazayil) and vices (razayil). He viewed these as modern or “new age” (jadid al-”˜ahd) characteristics\, which had varying impact on the social groupings of “the elite” (akabir)\,  “the intermediates” (mutavvasitin)\, “the subalterns” (kaminah-ha)\, and the peasants “whose diet consists solely of potatoes” (khurak-i ishan munhasir bah potatoes ast). Conscious of increased class “revenge and animosity” (bughz va ”˜idavat) due to the “extravagance” (ta”˜ayyush) of some and “hardship” (ta”˜ab) of others\, he forewarned of a great uprising to come\, such as the French Revolution. Mirza Abu Talib and his Persianate contemporaries did not feel that they were observing an advanced culture. By contrast\, endowed as they were with a critical “double-consciousness\,” the Indo-Persian anthropologists of modern Europe provide a critical outsider's perspective on an emerging social ethos of “the modern.” Their perspectives on Europe offer alternative sources for the study of modern European social norms and sense of self-identity.\n\nBio:\n Mohamad Tavakoli-Targhi is Professor of History and Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto. He has served as President of the International Society for Iranian Studies (2008-10)\, was the Founding Chair of the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Toronto-Mississauga (2004-07)\, and was the Editor-in-Chief of Comparative Studies of South Asia\, Africa and the Middle East (2001-12)\, a Duke University Press journal. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Iran Nameh and is coeditor with Homa Katoouzian of the Iranian Studies book series\, published by Routledge.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sweetland Word ²: Writer to Writer with Professor Maria Cotera
DESCRIPTION:The Sweetland Word ²: Writer to Writer series lets you hear directly from University of Michigan professors about their challenges\, processes\, and expectations as writers and also as readers of student writing. Word ² pairs one esteemed University professor with Sweetland faculty member and WCBN Living Writers host T Hetzel for a conversation about writing.\n\nThis session features a conversation with Maria Cotera\, Associate Professor of American Culture\, Latina/o Studies\, and Women’s Studies. Her work focuses on US/Third-World feminist theory\, Latina feminism\, and the intellectual genealogies of women of color. Her book Native Speakers: Ella Cara Deloria\, Zora Neale Hurston\, Jovila Gonzalez Mireles and the Poetics of Culture won the NWSA Gloria Anzaldua Prize. Professor Cotera is currently working on a book titled Chicana por mi Raza: The Hidden History of Chicanas in the Second Wave.\n\nProfessor Cotera will answer questions about her own writing practices\, including how she decides on a focus\, what she does when she gets stuck\, and how she meets deadlines. She will also talk about what she looks for in student writing\, and what she thinks students ought to know about writing. If there's anything you've ever wanted to ask a professor about writing\, Word ² gives you the chance.\n\nCo-sponsored by WCBN-FM and Literati Bookstore

SUMMARY:Other:Penny Stamps Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Degenerate Art Ensemble's work is inspired by punk\, comics\, cinema\, nightmares and fairy tales driven by the energy of live music and their style of visceral movement theater and dance. These immersive meditations tear away the the waking world revealing alternate realities filled with characters that are transformers - the weak becoming strong\, the good becoming evil- expressing unimaginable possibilities.  The group throws audiences into this world\, asking them to make sounds en-masse enveloping and activating the space. Characters climb over the audience - removing the barriers that normally separate\, creating an environment that arouses our interconnectedness. The work is an exorcism through collision and conflict striving to create communion\, soul-exchange and collective transformation.  Degenerate Art Ensemble has recently collaborated with the legendary theater director Robert Wilson\, and the renowned Kronos Quartet and was the subject of a large scale museum exhibition.

SUMMARY:Performance:Carrie Rodriguez
DESCRIPTION:Carrie Rodriguez has rapidly emerged as one of the most compelling new voices on the roots-rock scene. Daughter of Texan singer-songwriter David Rodriguez and well-known Texas painter Katy Nail\, the granddaughter of prolific Texas essayist Frances Nail. and the former roommate of contemporary bluegrasser Casey Driessen at the Berklee College of Music\, this singer-songwriter (and fiddler extraordinaire) has taken steps forward with each new release. Her latest studio album\, \"Give Me All You Got\,\" deals with a few dark themes–not surprising inasmuch as one of the first songwriters who inspired Rodriguez in her early teens was Leonard Cohen. “I listened to Leonard for a year and dwelled in the deep lowdown feelings he helped me feel\,” Carrie recalls. Carrie comes to town with a new album\, \"Rodriguez & Jacobs: Live at the Cactus.\"
