SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:(CANCELLED) - Palomitas Cineclub: Festival de cine presents Ixcanúl\, Volcán (Ixcanúl\, Volcano)
DESCRIPTION:Ixcanúl\, Volcán (Ixcanúl\, Volcano)In Maya and Spanish with English subtitlesWith María Mercedes Coroy\, María Telón\, Manuel Antún\, Justo Lorenzo\, Marvin CoroyGUATEMALA’S OFFICIAL ENTRY TO THE ACADEMY AWARDS®The brilliant debut by Guatemalan filmmaker Jayro Bustamante is a mesmerizing fusion of fact and fable\, a dreamlike depiction of the daily lives of Kaqchikel speaking Mayans on a coffee plantation at the base of an active volcano. Immersing us in its characters’ customs and beliefs\, Ixcanul chronicles with unblinking realism\, a disappearing tradition and a disappearing people.Maria\, a 17-year-old Mayan girl\, lives and works with her parents on a coffee plantation in the foothills of an active volcano in Guatemala.An arranged marriage awaits her: her parents have promised her to Ignacio\, the plantation overseer. But Maria doesn’t sit back and accept her destiny.Pepe\, a young coffee cutter who plans to migrate to the USA becomes her possible way out. Maria seduces Pepe in order to run away with him\, but after promises and clandestine meetings\, Pepe takes off\, leaving her pregnant\, alone and in disgrace. There’s no time to lose for Maria’s mother\, who thinks abortion is the only solution. Yet despite her mother’s ancestral knowledge\, the baby remains\, “destined to live.”But destiny has more in store for Maria: a snakebite forces them to leave immediately in search of a hospital. The modern world Maria has so dreamt about will save her life\, but at what price… Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan. All films will be screened in their original languages with English subtitles. The series will be free and open to the public.Combining the funds from the Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* with additional financial support from within the university\, we will screen six contemporary Latin American feature films and documentaries between February 26 and April 3 on Wednesday evenings at 7 pm in the Modern languages Building\, 1220 (Lecture Room 1):Frágil equilibrio (Guillermo García Lopez\, 2016)\, Tempestad (Tatiana Huezo\, 2016)\, Ixcanul\, Volcán (Jayro Bustamante\, 2015)\, La soledad (Jorge Thielen-Armand\, 2016)\, El abrazo de la serpiente (Ciro Guerra\, 2015) and Pájaros de verano (Ciro Guerra and Cristina Gallego\, 2018). Each screening will be followed by an informal discussion session during which the audience is invited to discuss the film.We welcome everyone to participate in a space of cultural engagement where undergraduate and graduate students can come together to practice their language skills and partake in critical discussions of cinema. *The Spanish Film Club Festival Grant was made possible with the support of Pragda\, SPAIN arts & culture\, and the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:POSTPONED until fall 2020: EEB Early Career Scientists Symposium | Natural History Collections: Drivers of Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Watch for updates later this year.\n\nThe Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is pleased to present Natural History Collections: Drivers of Innovation\, an exciting symposium about innovative and unconventional uses of biological collections across scientific disciplines. The symposium events will take place from the 13-15 March 2020\, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.\n\nWhen biologists think of natural history collections\, most tend to think of taxonomy and systematics\, yet many are unaware of the uses of biological collections beyond those traditional fields. These studies span the breadth of the tree of life and address broad subjects that span comparative genomics to bioengineering and climate change to historical pathogen dynamics\, among many\, many more. As stewards of one of the largest university-based biological collections in the world\, we are in an extraordinary position to leverage our holdings of biological material from the last century or more. We envision this symposium as a way to showcase the often-unrealized opportunities and non-traditional avenues of research that our collections make possible to the entire scientific community\, and emphasize some of the interdisciplinary ways in which our collections are being or could be used. We hope to foster a broader understanding and expanded use of an incomparable resource that the University of Michigan has cultivated for the past two hundred years.\n\nThe symposium will feature both established and novel uses of natural history collections across a wide range of taxonomic groups\, systems\, and time. Our goal is to create a program with contributions from all corners of ecology and evolutionary biology. The program will include two keynote talks by senior speakers and additional talks by early-career speakers.\n\nThank you!\n\nECSS 2020 Committee\nJenna Crowe-Riddell\nSonal Gupta\nHernán Lopez-Fernandez\, chair\nBenjamin Nicholas\nTeresa Pegan\nBrad Ruhfel\nCody Thompson\nTaylor West\n\nAdministrative Support\nEvent coordination: Linda Garcia & Molly Hunter\nEvent promotion: Gail Kuhnlein\nGraphic design/art: John Megahan\nPhotography: Dale Austin\n\nImage credits: \nPainted meadow grasshopper\, western rattlesnake\, burrowing owl: Eric LoPresti.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self
DESCRIPTION:Through this exhibit\, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center\, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative\, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing\, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:CANCELED: CLIFF 2020: (Counter)Narratives of Migration
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\,civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South.\n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope
DESCRIPTION:The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more! This is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square
DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of History of Art\, School of Education\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, School of Social Work\, and Gerald R.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reflections: An Ordinary Day
DESCRIPTION:UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Witness Lab
DESCRIPTION:Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CANCELLED! Climate Strategies Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In the interest of public health due to the spread of COVID-19\, this event is cancelled.\n\nJoin us as we explore strategies to tackle climate change using En-ROADS\, a new interactive tool from Climate Interactive and MIT's Sloan Sustainability Initiative!\nLimited seating!  Reserve your seat now using Ticket link!!\n\nSpeaker: Clark McCall\, Citizens' Climate Lobby\n\nPart 1- Understanding what we need to do to address the problem of climate change:\n\nWe know climate change is here. We can see serious effects throughout the world already. We know we have a narrow window of time to make changes to avoid the very worst results by limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5-2.0℃. But what exactly will it take to stay within this limit? What changes have the greatest impact? Electric vehicles? Eating a vegetarian diet? Subsidies for solar? A fee on carbon? With the help of a trained facilitator using a policy simulator tool\, session attendees will have a chance to discuss different options and explore what impact they will have. Come to this session with your ideas for making an impact and leave knowing what different changes have the most impact.\n\nPart 2- How does a fee on carbon and dividend support environmental justice?\n\nExperts agree that a fee on carbon and a dividend is one of the best policies for addressing climate change. But how does an added fee affect our budgets? How can people with low income manage a carbon fee? This session will examine the economic and personal impacts of a carbon fee and dividend on both the climate and on people.

SUMMARY:Performance:UMMA Pop Up: Karissa Bone
DESCRIPTION:Writing in her own genre\, Karissa Bone introduces music with the bop-factor of Pop\, the soul of R&B\, and the unexpected element of pinpointed introspective lyrics. Hailing from Saginaw\, MI\, her style is influenced by Motown\, Classic Rock\, and everything in life that goes sideways. Her airy\, yet powerful voice melts together with her soul-twisting lyrics to make every song a memorable journey. Whether she’s with a full band\, string section\, at a grand piano\, or playing solo with her electric guitar\, Bone’s live shows are full of energy and belonging. With short comedic breaks\, she seamlessly covers topics from heartbreak to nostalgia\, to the modern age of technology. Her artistry truly shows through– when she sings\, you stop and listen. \n \nIn 2019\, while studying at the University of Michigan's School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, Bone paid her dues in Ann Arbor\, where she's performed at the famed Blind Pig\, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival\, and the Canterbury House. She currently studies songwriting at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. \n \nYou can find her on Instagram @itskarissabone \n\n

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:CANCELED: CLIFF 2020: (Counter)Narratives of Migration
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\,civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South.\n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.
