She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock).

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728291@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908113@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190214T094905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with SRC faculty Erin Ware DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ware is a self-taught HPC user and excited to host a weekly hackerspace from February 13 to April 3\, 2019. Her training has been in genetic epidemiology\, public health\, and statistics using SAS (local)\, R (server)\, Linux (on FLUX\, MBNI\, and other personal servers)\, batch scripting (SGE\, PBS\, Slurm). Dr. Ware has taught SAS (data management and statistical modeling) and introductory statistics using R. She is experienced in teaching high performance computing to individuals with limited programming background. \n\nIn this hackerspace\, Dr. Ware is particularly interested in addressing issues of data manipulation in Linux\, efficient documentation and file naming structures\, data management (SAS/R)\, setting up an HPC connection\, WinSCP\, getting around a server using basic Linux\, genomic analysis\, and high-dimensional data analysis. Dr. Ware would like to learn about SFTP using Globus\, Python\, and more advanced batch scripting in Slurm. Dr. Ware hopes you will join her hackerspace this term.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754482@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190116T161517 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T120000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Schokoladenstunde DESCRIPTION:Schokoladenstunde will take place in the comfy seating area between the two computer classrooms in the Language Resource Center.

Our ability to effectively care for our patients with NS is hampered by a limited understanding of its underlying molecular mechanisms. Major progress has been made through the discovery of more than 50 single-gene causes of NS. But altogether these explain less than 15% of cases in the U.S. To gain a more complete picture of the genetic architecture of NS\, we need to go beyond Mendelian gene discovery. In this seminar\, I will present work done by our group to achieve this goal\, with a particular focus on unique opportunities that result from integrating genome-scale omics datasets with deep phenotypic data in the longitudinal NEPTUNE NS cohort.

Having learned to exert nearly complete control over single atoms\, what are the new frontiers? One direction is to now exert similar levels of control over the interactions and correlations between atoms\, with examples including quantum computing with trapped ions\, quantum many-body simulations in degenerate atomic gases\, and the deterministic assembly of molecules. Our lab has been asking the question: is it also possible to exploit atom-atom correlations and entanglement to advance the field of precision measurement beyond the single-atom paradigm that dominates the field? Using laser-cooled and trapped rubidium and strontium atoms inside of high finesse optical cavities\, we have explored this question along two fronts by surpassing the standard quantum limit on quantum phase estimation by a factor of 60 and overcoming thermal limits on laser frequency stability. If time permits\, I will also discuss the emergence of spin-exchange interactions between atoms mediated by the optical cavity. Possible future impacts include robust millihertz linewidth optical lasers\, advanced optical lattice clocks\, and searches for new physics.\n UID:61223-15054306@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61223 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190208T103032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Panel. Human Rights in North Korea: Crimes Against Humanity\, Advocacy for Change\, and Future Prospects DESCRIPTION:As negotiations for denuclearization continues between the US and North Korea\, the severe state of human rights situations in North Korea has again been de-emphasized by the international community. Yet the persecution of real or imagined dissenters continue\, as do the systematic human rights abuses of the Kim regime\, which has been classified by the United Nations as crimes against humanity. Activists in South Korea and abroad have advocated for these concerns to be given top priority but those calls have largely been unheeded by leaders engaging with North Korea. What exactly is happening in North Korea\, what kinds of activism has emerged to address these concerns\, and what might be the ways forward to improve the lives of the North Korean people? This panel features three prominent experts of human rights in North Korea who will share their perspectives on these questions as a legal expert\, an NGO advocate\, and a defector who survived one of North Korea’s infamous prison camps\, respectively.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, International Policy Center\, Law School\, and Nam Center for Korean Studies.\n \n Panelists: \n \n Kang Cheol Hwan \n Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors\, North Korea Strategy Center \n\nKang Cheol Hwan is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of North Korea Strategy Center U.S.\, Inc. and the founder of North Korea Strategy Center (“NKSC”) in Seoul\, South Korea. Mr. Kang is a journalist\, author\, and North Korean defector. Born in 1968 in Pyongyang\, North Korea\, at the age of nine\, he and his entire family were imprisoned in the Yodok concentration camp by the government of dictator Kim Il Sung after Kang’s grandfather was accused of treason. For ten years\, Mr. Kang was subjected to the brutal conditions of the camp\, where he and some members of his family endured starvation\, torture\, and the threat of execution. After he was released from the camp\, Mr. Kang bought an illegal radio receiver to listen to broadcasts from South Korea. In 1992\, he made the decision to defect and escaped North Korea by crossing the Yalu River into China\, eventually immigrating to South Korea. In 2000\, he published “The Aquariums of Pyongyang\,” a description of his experiences and the very first survivor account of North Korea’s concentration camps. Mr. Kang is a staff writer for the South Korean newspaper\, the Chosun Ilbo. In 2003\, he was awarded the National Endowment for Democracy’s “Democracy Award” and in 2006\, he was selected as one of Times’ “Asian Heroes”. After years of North Korean human rights activism\, Mr. Kang came to the conclusion that expecting change from the North Korean government was not feasible. Without change and enlightenment of the North Korean people\, without bridging the gap between the two Koreas\, peaceful unification is not possible. Based on this belief\, in 2007\, Mr. Kang founded NKSC with the goals of disseminating uncensored information in North Korea\, empowering North Korean defectors to become advocates of democracy\, and raising awareness on North Korean human rights issues. \n \n Jared Genser \n Managing Director\, Perseus Strategies \n \nJared Genser is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies\, a public interest law firm.

But one instance in centuries-long history of Black people in Germany\, “Milli” remains silent\, speaking volumes about how Black women have been reduced to anonymous objects of desire. Milli’s awakening seeks to intervene in this history\, by bringing together the voices of eight Black German women of different generations. Through their artistic practices they have defined self-determined positions within white German mainstream society. Like a quilt\, the film unfolds in a way reflecting the diversity and interwoven nature of these (hi)stories.\n\nThe German Film Series begins with a light dinner at 6:30 pm followed by introduction of the screening at 7:00 pm. **Screened in German with English subtitles. With Q&A in English with director Natasha Kelly following the film. Introduced by Professor Kristin Dickinson. \n\nCo-sponsored by Alamanya\, with support from the Center for European Studies and DAAS.

A few years later\, in 1391\, Martínez’s threat became reality when hundreds of Seville’s Jews were massacred during a violent riot\, and the community’s synagogues were destroyed or converted into churches. How were Seville’s Jews able to construct many new houses of worship in the city\, dodging secular and ecclesiastical prohibitions? Why did synagogues become the focal point of Martínez’s anti-Jewish campaign? The talk will attempt to answer these questions while examining Jewish life in the kingdom of Castile just before the tragic events of 1391 changed it forever. \n\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

Professor Sripada will report on new studies from his lab that shed light on how these streams are constructed. He will also discuss agency in the stream of consciousness: Do we actively construct streams of thought or do they passively “pop” into our minds?

Within this music are the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions. The group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya)\, which developed in the mines of South Africa\, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Assembled in the early 1960s in South Africa by Joseph Shabalala\, then a young farm boy turned factory worker\, the group took the name Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown\, about three hours west of Durban and three hours east of Johannesburg\; Black being a reference to the oxen\, the strongest of all farm animals\; and Mambazo being the Zulu word for chopping axe\, a symbol of the group’s ability to \"chop down\" any singing rival who might challenge them. A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract—the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than 50 recordings (including Paul Simon's \"Graceland\") and has earned three Grammy awards UID:58005-14390318@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58005 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190220T145803 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:University Philharmonia Orchestra DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Kiesler\, director of orchestras\nOriol Sans\, associate director of orchestras\n\nThis annual concert of new works by student composers\, led by student conductors\, and played by student musicians is often one of the most inspiring concerts of the year.
