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:Erica Lehrer and Magdalena Waligórska: \"[Polish] Gentiles doing Jewish stuff...and the Jews who love/hate them\"
DESCRIPTION:Two books\, two perspectives\, one destination: Krakow Poland's historical Jewish quarter of Kazimierz. American cultural anthropologist Erica Lehrer and Polish cultural historian Magdalena Waligórska explore a phenomenon that has attracted a great deal of attention and provoked many controversies: Jewish heritage revival in Poland. Described as the world’s largest Jewish cemetery and the realm of “virtual Jewishness\,” Poland is a space where the non-Jewish interest in things Jewish has been looked upon with particular scepticism. Lehrer\, with Jewish Poland Revisited\, and Waligórska\, with Klezmer’s Afterlife\, venture into this territory\, both fascinating and fraught with tension\, giving a fresh glimpse into the backstage of the Jewish heritage industry.\n\nIn this joint book presentation\, the authors will read excerpts of their books and discuss Jewish heritage revival as a space of profound encounter for Jews and non-Jews.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Menorahs in Color: Polychromy in Jewish Visual Culture of Roman Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, polychromy has developed as a significant area of research in the study of classical art. This lecture explores the significance of this work for interpreting Jewish visual culture during Roman antiquity\, through the focal lens of the Arch of Titus Digital Restoration Project. In July 2012\, this project discovered that the Arch of Titus menorah was originally colored with yellow ochre paint. The article begins by presenting the general field of polychromy research\, which has developed in recent years and resulted in significant museum exhibitions in Europe and the US. It then turns to resistance to polychromy studies among art historians\, often called\n“chromophobia\,” and to uniquely Jewish early twentieth century variants that claimed that Jews were especially prone to colorblindness. After surveying earlier research on polychromy in Jewish contexts\, we turn to polychromy in ancient Palestinian synagogue literature and art. Finally\, the article explores the significance of polychromy for the study of the Arch of Titus menorah panel\, and more broadly considers the importance of polychromy studies for contextualizing Jewish attitudes toward Roman religious art (avodah zarah).\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Carmen Souza
DESCRIPTION:\"Carmen Souza's voice purrs like kernels of corn swirling on a traditional wooden platter one moment and bursts with a perfect blue note the next\,\" says Rock Paper Scissors. Carmen was born in Lisbon\, Portugal\, into a Cape Verdean family and grew up speaking Portuguese and Cape Verdean Creole. As a teen she sang in a Portuguese gospel choir until she was discovered by bassist and producer Theo Pas'cal\, who introduced her to jazz\, fusion\, and other contemporary sounds. Carmen wanted to create a new sound\, in her ancestors' Creole dialect\, that would mix traditional African and Cape Verde rhythms like Batuke\, Morna\, Cola djon\, and others\, with her jazz and contemporary influences\, in a totally intimate and acoustic vibe\, different from the traditional festive environment of Cape Verdean sounds. It's a bewitching mix\, and Carmen has become a European sensation. She's making her debut appearance at The Ark this evening.\n\nU-M students: No tickets necessary–the show is free at the door with U-M ID.
