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.

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:59301-14728339@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:20190318T112648 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190409T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190409T114500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:THEMED DROP INS: No Plan\, No Problem DESCRIPTION:Still figuring out your plans for summer?

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.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Dominant males exhibit the brightest chest patches\, suggesting this signal may function as a sexually selected handicap signal to ward off potential male competitors. However\, little is known about the mechanism linking color intensity to male quality or the potential physiological costs to maintaining chest redness. In most systems\, testosterone links signal intensity and the quality of the signaler as testosterone is metabolically costly and prevents low quality males from falsely signaling high quality. Despite a large sample size of chest patch photos and hormone samples\, our research group has been unable to find a link between fecal testosterone levels and chest color in geladas. Here\, I investigate the potential driving mechanisms and associated costs of chest patch coloration in a group of habituated geladas living in the Simien Mountains National Park\, Ethiopia.

Although these efforts have been largely successfully with regard to the Han majority\, the talk argues that from the 1950s to the present day\, territorially concentrated minority groups like the Tibetans and the Uighurs have remained poorly penetrated and thus present a persistent powerful obstacle for the highly sophisticated Chinese surveillance apparatus.

Brauer Faculty Fellow Ava Purkiss gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.\n\n In 1959\, black fashion and marketing expert Elsie Archer published Let’s Face It: A Guide to Good Grooming for Negro Girls in which she offered health and beauty advice to young black women. Before suggesting diet plans and exercise programs\, she asked her readers: “How did you get fat anyway?” Archer added that avoiding fatness through diet and exercise would enable young black women to discover their feminine charms\, enhance their appearances\, and achieve a body that will “fit in.” My talk will examine how black women like Archer used nutrition advice\, diet and exercise promotion\, and fat shaming tactics to literally shape the fit black female body in the mid-twentieth century.

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

For David Clement Scott\, the most visionary amongst them\, Rhodes epitomised the wrong turn that race relations would take when the territory was declared a Protectorate in 1891. Scott’s vision was of an Africa in which different races worked for the common good – “not side by side but as one”. From language learning to land tenure\, the approach he advocated was no idealism detached from practical initiatives. It involved as much status reversal between white and black as it did hierarchical forbearance. By attending to some of Scott’s short-lived innovations\, I ask whether the intervening century has made such decolonial thought all but impossible to comprehend in its own terms. What is the prospect of recovering de-racialized humanity\, even if in a Christian key\, as the critical concept in decolonial thought?

Dr. Barense has been trained in animal neuroscience\, human neuropsychology\, fMRI\, and cognitive psychology and enjoys bringing these approaches together to study the neural underpinnings of memory.\n\nPresentation Title: Understanding memory disorders: At the level of cognitive process representational content?\n\nAbstract: \n\nHow does perception of an object relate to subsequent memory for that object? A central assumption in most modern theories of memory is that memory and perception are functionally and anatomically segregated. For example\, amnesia resulting from medial temporal lobe (MTL) lesions is traditionally considered to be a selective deficit in long-term declarative memory with no effect on perceptual processes. This view is consistent with a popular paradigm in cognitive neuroscience\, in which the brain is understood in terms of a modular organization of function based on cognitive process. The work I will present offers a new perspective. Guided by computational modelling complemented with neuropsychology and neuroimaging\, I will provide support for the notion that memory and perception are inextricably intertwined throughout the MTL\, relying on shared neural representations and computational mechanisms. I will then describe how this new framework can improve basic understanding of cognitive impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease\, as well as guide development of new diagnostic procedures for those at risk for dementia.

With immigrant agency at the center of its analysis\, this book asks why foreign residents make the political choices they do as they become permanent members of their receiving societies. Based on over 150 in-depth interviews with immigrants\, pro-immigrant activists\, and government officials and 28 focus groups with the major foreign resident groups in each country conducted in the greater Tokyo\, Seoul\, and Taipei metropolitan areas from 2009 to 2013\, this book prioritizes the role played by civil society actors—including migrants themselves—in giving voice to migrant interests\, mobilizing migrant actors\, and shaping public debate and policy on immigration. Departing from the dominant scholarship on immigrant incorporation that focuses on national cultures or traditions\, domestic political elites\, and international norms\, I argue that civil society actors drew on existing ideas\, networks\, and strategies previously applied to incorporate historically marginalized groups\, or what I call civic legacies\, to confront the challenges of immigrant incorporation. Rather than determining the paths available to later generations\, civic legacies form the opportunities and constraints that demarcate the rules of the game for migrant claims making\, thus framing the direction of immigrant incorporation\, the level of penetration in society\, and the potential for structural reform. As the first English-language book comparing three countries that represent a single model of immigrant incorporation in East Asia\, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies proposes to shed insights into the gaps between policy intent\, interpretation\, and outcomes. \n \nErin Aeran Chung is the Charles D.

The interaction between humans and animals can affect the environment\, and vice versa. In the ancient Egyptian Nile Valley\, in addition to providing food\, transportation\, raw materials\, companionship and entertainment\, animals played a key role in religion. As such\, they inspired divine iconography and language\, and served both as manifestations as well as offerings to gods. Ultimately\, in the twilight of Egypt’s pharaonic history\, animals played a part in defining cultural identity and world-view. This talk will focus on a critical locus of this agency: animal mummies in ancient Egypt\, and what they tell us not only about Egyptian culture\, economy\, and human-animal relationships\, but also about Egypt’s changing environment.\n\nSalima Ikram is Distinguished University Professor of Egyptology at The American University in Cairo\, and has worked as an archaeologist in Turkey\, Sudan\, Greece and the United States.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n  UID:60521-14903615@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Library LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
