DESCRIPTION:Barbara J. Schneider’s studio is in the Starline Factory in Harvard\, Illinois. She has an extensive background in surface design\, and she works with cloth\, paint\, dye and thread.

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:True to Life: Film Director Nancy Savoca’s Quest for Authenticity
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Nancy Savoca aims to be as authentic as possible. Her films are brilliant\, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters\, typically women\, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.\n\nSavoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director\, producer\, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library. Her archive represents nearly three decades of indie filmmaking\, and includes notes\, notebooks\, photos\, and script drafts.\n\nSee the symposium schedule for Character Driven: Exploring the Career and Archives of Nancy Savoca: https://www.lib.umich.edu/announcements/symposium-celebrates-filmmaker-nancy-savoca

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: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:Exhibition:The Six Senses of Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Art museums generally give primacy to the sense of sight. Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multi-sensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS\, DISASTERS\, CONSUMPTION\, LOSS\, AND JUSTICE\n \nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene\, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues\, the exhibition presents photography\, video\, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials\, disasters\, consumption\, loss\, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists\, including Sammy Baloji\, Liu Bolin\, Dana Levy\, Mary Mattingly\, Pedro Neves Marques\, Gabriel Orozco\, Trevor Paglen\, and Thomas Struth\, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness\, wonder\, and curiosity about the world to come.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \n  \n\nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith\, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Physics Graduate Student Symposium (PGSS) | Nonlinear Optical Effects in Weyl Semimetals
DESCRIPTION:Weyl semimetals lie at the intersection of strongly correlated materials and materials with nontrivial spin-orbit coupling. These topological materials have attracted a lot of interest in the last several years because of their wide variety of novel properties and resulting potential applications. In this talk\, I will begin by presenting a brief overview of the unique band structure and topology of these materials. Then I will go on to examine a couple of their nonlinear optical properties and highlight past and proposed experiments to further explore this novel state of matter.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Protein synthesis is an indispensable process which accounts for a large proportion of the energetic resources of any living cells.  Therefore\, translational regulation must be tightly controlled.  Such regulation is critical for protein biogenesis\, folding\, trafficking and degradation under stable and changing conditions.  I will focus on the importance of hidden evolutionary signatures within the coding region of proteins that govern translational efficiency and dominate proteostasis in health and disease.  I will discuss the notion of tRNA adaptation index (tAI) as an indirect measure for translation elongation efficiency.  Specifically\, I will show that proteins which must be localized to specific sites and organelles in cells evolved to support their optimal translation elongation rate.  A link between an evolutionary signature within mRNAs and efficient management of protein production will be illustrated for the case of synaptic proteins and their family members.  Neuronal communication is governed by the coordinated action of the synapse.  In all organisms having a nerve system\, the synapses are signified by the abundance of ion channels\, cytoskeletal elements\, ligand binding receptors\, and secreted proteins.  As such\, the proteins composition is a showcase for an extreme demand of translational control.  In the last part of the talk\, I will extend the concept of translation regulation by illustrating the robustness of the translational machinery in view of post-translational regulation of miRNA in cells.  I will present COMICS as a simulator that predict the global cell response to miRNA alterations\, and illustrate the immunity of the translation apparatus to miRNA fluctuations.  In summary\, I will show that evolutionarily conserved design principles while often hidden are a strong determinant in the cell homeostasis in health and disease.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Speaking American English: A Communication Workshop for English Language Learners
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from June 6 to August 15\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The program cost is $275.00\, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin. \n\nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll
