La Soledad
Jorge Thielen-Armand / Venezuela, Canada, Italy / 2016 / 89 min
Spanish with English subtitlesWith José Dolores López, Marley Alvillares, Adrializ López, Jorge Roque Thielen, María del Carmen AgámezHandyman José lives with his family in La Soledad, a dilapidated villa located in what was once among Caracas’ most affluent neighborhoods. After learning that the villa’s owners are planning to sell the estate, José seeks any solution that might keep his six-year-old daughter from growing up in Caracas’ crime-sodden slums. Might that fabled treasure supposedly hidden in La Soledad’s walls offer José’s family a chance at a better life?Jorge Thielen Armand’s feature debut carves fiction from reality: La Soledad was once his family’s home; this story is true, acted out by the people who lived it. La Soledad looks beyond the headlines and gives a voice to those affected by contemporary Venezuela’s inner turmoil. It is a magnificent feat of real-life storytelling—and a profound fusion of creativity and compassion. 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.

Birds Fly In: Oil Painting (March 23, 2020 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73892 73892-18390598@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 23, 2020 8:00am

Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. She paints intuitively to music, spontaneously, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush, but also fingers, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Organized By: Gifts of Art

Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops, playgrounds, houses and aerial views, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales, but rather to celebrate the color, shape, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist, Martina Celerin. Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving, crochet, needle felting, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Organized By: Gifts of Art

Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. Over the years, she has collected, saved, garbage-rescued, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds, the vessels that hold them, and the totems that pay tribute to them, all keep her company, inspire her, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea, Michigan.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 23, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507809@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 23, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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.

Diaries, 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.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This class interaction with the Witness Lab project is open to the public for observation. Seating is limited. Visit our Witness Lab page for an ever-evolving list of opportunities to see the Witness Lab project in action. 

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. Public programs, classes, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.

In her investigation of America’s courts, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law, drama, and anthropology, among others. 

Due to the nature of the project, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.

Abstract: Video understanding has advanced quite a long way in the past decade, accomplishing tasks including low-level segmentation and tracking that study objects as pixel-level segments or bounding boxes to more high-level activity recognition or classification tasks that classify a video scene to a categorical action label. Despite the progress that has been made, much of this work remains a proxy for an eventual task or application that requires a holistic view of the video, such as objects, actions, attributes, and other semantic components. In this defense, we argue that language could deliver the required holistic representation. It plays a significant role in video understanding by allowing machines to communicate with humans and to understand our requests, as shown in tasks such as text-to-video search engine, voice-guided robot manipulation, to name a few. Our language-driven video understanding focuses on two specific problems: video description and visual grounding. What marks our viewpoint different from prior literature is twofold. First, we propose a bottom-up structured learning scheme by decomposing long video into individual procedure steps and represent each one with a description. Second, we propose to have both explicit (i.e., supervised) and implicit (i.e., weakly-supervised and self-supervised) grounding between words and visual concepts which enables interpretable modeling of the two spaces.

Location: Gerald Ford Library
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Due to the COVID-19 situation, this event has been canceled.

Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.

Join us for an armchair conversation between former Secretary of State James A. Baker, III, and Michael S. Barr, Dean of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. The discusison will focus on Secretary Baker's distinguished career serving in senior government positions under three United States presidents—as secretary of state, secretary of the treasury, and twice as White House chief of staff. The conversation will cover pivotal moments from Secretary Baker's distinguished career and his reflections on current issues of international diplomacy and domestic policy.

Co-sponsors: the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum and Library, The Gerald R. Ford Institute at Albion College, and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.

From the speaker's bio:

James A. Baker, III, has served in senior government positions under three United States presidents. He served as the nation's 61st secretary of state from January 1989 through August 1992 under President George H.W. Bush. During his tenure at the State Department, Baker traveled to 90 foreign countries as the United States confronted the unprecedented challenges and opportunities of the post–Cold War era. From 1985 to 1988, Baker served as the 67th secretary of the treasury under President Ronald Reagan, and from 1981 to 1985, he served as White House chief of staff to President Reagan. Baker's record of public service began in 1975 as under secretary of commerce to President Gerald R. Ford and concluded with his service as White House chief of staff and senior counselor to President Bush from August 1992 to January 1993.

Long active in American presidential politics, Baker also led presidential campaigns for Presidents Ford, Reagan, and Bush over the course of five consecutive presidential elections from 1976 to 1992.

A native Houstonian, Baker graduated from Princeton University in 1952. After two years of active duty as a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, he entered The University of Texas School of Law at Austin. He received his J.D. with honors in 1957 and practiced law with the Houston firm of Andrews and Kurth from 1957 to 1975. Baker’s memoir — “Work Hard, Study . . . and Keep Out of Politics! Adventures and Lessons from an Unexpected Public Life” — was published in October 2006.

Please join the Critical Contemporary Studies Workshop for our final panel discussion in a winter semester series on teaching contemporary art and culture.

What are the different ways that we can conceptualize 21st-century literary production and how can we share and engage students in those perspectives? The broad goal of this session is to think collectively about the possibilities, challenges, and pleasures of teaching the literature of today (or the last two decades) in undergraduate and graduate classrooms. To that end, each panelist will briefly discuss an object, activity, strategy, or syllabus they have already or want to use in their teaching. These presentations will then be followed by conversation with the audience. We hope you can join us!

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for European Studies

The twentieth century in Spain was exceptionally eventful. Many Spaniards were born during a monarchy, lived through two dictatorships, a republic, and a civil war, and died in a democracy. In this lecture, Professor Casanova will reflect on the main historiographical currents that have guided his research in the last three decades: social history and change, with special emphasis on civil wars and revolutions; comparative historical sociology; and collective violence in the 20th century.

Julián Casanova is professor of contemporary history at the University of Zaragoza and visiting professor at the Central European University. He has authored and co-authored important books on the history of Spain, the Spanish Civil War, and Franco’s Spain which were published, in English, by Routledge, Cambridge University Press, and I.B. Tauris. He is currently completing a new book about collective violence in twentieth-century Europe, to be published in April 2020. In addition to his scholarship, Casanova is a frequent contributor to the Spanish "El País," and serves as a historical consultant in the television and film industry, both in documentaries and TV series and films.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event, please reach out to cesmichigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Witness Lab Simulation: ​Melanie Manos' U-M Interarts Performance Class (March 23, 2020 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73688 73688-18280824@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 23, 2020 5:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This class interaction with the Witness Lab project is open to the public for observation. Seating is limited. Visit our Witness Lab page for an ever-evolving list of opportunities to see the Witness Lab project in action. 

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. Public programs, classes, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.

In her investigation of America’s courts, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law, drama, and anthropology, among others. 

Due to the nature of the project, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.

Witness 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.

CANCELLED - ASC Event. Pan-African Pulp in Five Parts: A Panel Discussion (March 23, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73202 73202-18157929@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 23, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: African Studies Center

Meleko Mokgosi's monumental installation Pan-African Pulp presents a complex and multi-layered reflection on histories of Pan-Africanism, Black Consciousness, and Southern African resistance movements. Made up of five parts, it engages with its audience in various ways, encouraging visitors to access this rich history through the medium of history painting, through popular posters, through comic books, academic literature or stories written in Mokgosi's mother tongue - Setswana. Multiple interpretations and readings are not only possible but are explicitly encouraged by the artist, whose work is saturated with archival research, theory and deep thinking about the history of artmaking and the powerful role artworks have (and continue to have) as sites of resistance and activism.

Taking Pan-African Pulp as their starting point, five different speakers from the University of Michigan and Michigan State University will bring their unique points of view to the table, offering up new and perhaps unexpected interpretations, exploring how one artwork may act as a prism for diverse readings.

The program will take place in the Mokgosi installation on the first floor between the UMMA Shop and Cafe.
Speakers include:

Bénédicte Boisseron, from the U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS), will respond to the mural examining the complexity of blackness;

Julian Chambliss, Val Berryman Curator of History, MSU Museum, on the historical posters from internationalist and Pan-African movements from around the world;​

Anita Gonzalez, from the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance, the stories from Setswana oral tradition.

Annette Joseph-Gabriel, from the U-M Department for Romance Languages and Literatures, the 1969 Algiers Pan-African manifesto annotated by the artist;

Randall Scott, from the MSU Comic Art Collection, the large-scale panels inspired by African photo novels of the 1960s and ’70s.

The discussion will be moderated by Laura De Becker, UMMA’s Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art.

This program is organized in partnership with the U-M African Studies Center.

Lead support is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan African Studies Center and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.
