SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. 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). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency
DESCRIPTION:\"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency\,\" by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin\, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home\, privacy\, and safety.\n\nThe exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery\, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication\, luxury\, and modernism.\n\nIn a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet\, for Martin and Muñoz\,  \"Blind House\" serves as \"a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy.\" Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. 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/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Design Web-Based Surveys With Survey123 For ArcGIS
DESCRIPTION:Survey123 is a simple\, form-centric data collection app\, that allows users to design surveys\, share\, and analyze data all within the ArcGIS Online platform. Survey123 differs from other form-centric data collection apps in that collection of geographic data is a key element. It seamlessly integrates with Collector for ArcGIS\, an interactive mobile mapping application\, and surveys can be downloaded to work offline. One can design a simple survey using the intuitive web-based form builder\, and implement it within minutes.\n\nIn this workshop we will look at the basic workflows for creating and administering a survey using the Survey123 for ArcGIS mobile app. We will also discuss best practices for survey design for the mobile environment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Enriching Scholarship Sessions: Predict-Observe-Explain pedagogy in any classroom: a case study using the AVIDA-ED digital laboratory
DESCRIPTION:The Predict-Observe-Explain strategy is not specific to evolution and is very powerful when teaching about the natural sciences. Anyone teaching about evolutionary concepts may be interested in this workshop\, as the AVIDA-ED platform is best suited to teaching about evolution. “Evolution” can be broadly construed\, including applications in computer science and cancer cell research.\n\nAVIDA-ED (the platform): AVIDA is a research platform that is used by professional scientists to study evolution. The AVIDA-ED platform (http://avida-ed.msu.edu/) is the same as AVIDA\, but the platform is simplified to make it accessible to undergraduates. The platform is used in many undergraduate laboratories and lectures (including UM Dearborn)\, as a way of doing inquiry-based instruction about evolution. It provides an instance of evolution\, not a simulation. This is extremely powerful. Moreover\, the evolution takes place quickly enough to be observed in a lecture period.\n\nPlease REGISTER at the link below.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interactive Lecture: Engaging Students with Team Based Activities in Any Size Course
DESCRIPTION:Lecturing works! Educators have been using lecture for hundreds of years\, and it is particularly effective early in a course with students who have limited content knowledge. And research has shown that lecture can be improved by integrating active and team based learning strategies into the lesson—even in classes with 300 or more students!\n\nThis session will briefly discuss the research that supports interactive lectures and explore ten engaging group activities that can help students meet course outcomes. A clear description of each activity will be provided\, along with relevant\, real-life examples that can be integrated into any size course.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Leveraging an Online Course to Prepare for Effective Community Engagement: Local and Global
DESCRIPTION:In fall 2018\, an interdisciplinary team of U-M faculty and community engagement professionals worked with the Office of Academic Innovation to launch a massive open online course (MOOC) called Collaborating for Change. The course covers foundational principles\, concepts\, and skills for anyone — from novices to experienced practitioners — who wants to work more effectively with community members and organizations. The team intentionally designed this course to be flexible\, including modules and activities that can be mixed and matched\, taken all together or in chunks\, and completed independently or in tandem with facilitated coursework\, pre-departure training\, etc.\n\nThis workshop will introduce participants to the course content and cover a wide range of ways to leverage it in different contexts\, including but not limited to: in-person courses\, community-academic partnerships\, client projects\, education and work abroad\, research projects\, internships\, public scholarship\, and student organizations. The workshop will begin with a brief overview of the course and its development\, including ways U-M faculty\, staff\, and students have used it\, followed by an activity in which participants will design a plan for using it in their own contexts. Presenters will also share some new companion materials designed specifically for instructors and facilitators.\n\nThis session is part of the Public Engagement theme during Enriching Scholarship 2019: a series of workshops and discussions intentionally and collaboratively crafted by units all over campus to foster engaged learning and scholarship in service of public impact.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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
