With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

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.

Clements\, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects\, preserves\, and makes available primary sources about the Americas\, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Click the link below to register.\n\nhttps://fusfoundation.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Hj_R2DMOT8SlOAp0WRLV3A\n\nOftentimes when we think of focused ultrasound\, we imagine using it to heat and kill tissue. Unlike thermal ablation\, histotripsy uses focused ultrasound to mechanically disrupt the target tissue without heating. Histotripsy turns the tissue into liquid-appearing acellular debris – which is absorbed by the body over one to two months – resulting in effective tissue removal.\n\nHistotripsy has been shown to stimulate a powerful immune response in cancer treatment studies. In the treatment of neurological diseases\, transcranial histotripsy can produce well-confined focal treatment in a wide range of locations and volumes in the brain\, offering the potential to increase the treatment envelope while decreasing treatment time. \n\nPlease register to join us at 10:00 AM Eastern on Wednesday\, March 25\, when Zhen Xu\, PhD\, will discuss the basic mechanism\, instrumentation\, bioeffects\, and applications of histotripsy. She will also cover the latest preclinical and clinical trial results of developing histotripsy for the treatment of cancer and neurological diseases.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nZhen Xu\, PhD\, is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan and a primary inventor and pioneer in histotripsy.\n\nShe has received many notable awards\, including:\nIEEE Ultrasonics\, Ferroelectrics\, and Frequency Control Society Outstanding Paper Award (2006)\nAmerican Heart Association Outstanding Research in Pediatric Cardiology (2010)\nNational Institutes of Health (NIH) New Investigator Award at the First National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) Edward C. Nagy New Investigator Symposium (2011)\nThe Federic Lizzi Early Career Award from The International Society of Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) (2015)\nFellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (2019)\nDr. Xu is currently an associate editor for three notable journals: IEEE Transactions on Ultrasound\, Ferroelectrics\, and Frequency Control (UFFC)\; Frontiers in Bioengineering\; and BME Frontiers.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207420@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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.

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.

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.

Epic Proportions: Translating Poland’s National Epic for the 21st Century DESCRIPTION:This talk will offer a practitioner’s reflections on what it means to translate an epic poem in the twenty-first century. What can epic poems of the past mean to us today\, and how specifically is that meaning transmuted in the crossing of linguistic\, cultural\, and temporal borders? Using the experience of translating Adam Mickiewicz’s 1834 Polish-language epic narrative poem \"Pan Tadeusz\" as both starting point and finish line\, Johnston will consider such underconceptualized aspects of translation as imagined and actual readership\; the role of aesthetic pleasure in the reading experience\; and translation as trespass.\n \nBill Johnston translates from Polish\, working in a wide range of genres and historical periods. His awards include the PEN Translation Prize and the Best Translated Book Award\, both for Wiesław Myśliwski’s novel \"Stone Upon Stone\" (2012)\; the Found in Translation Prize for Tomasz Różycki’s mock-epic poem \"Twelve Stations\" (2016)\; the National Translation Award for Adam Mickiewicz’s epic in verse \"Pan Tadeusz\" (2019)\; fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the National Endowment for the Humanities\; and\, for his overall contributions to promoting Polish literature and culture\, the Transatlantyk Prize (2014) and the Officer’s Cross of the Order of Merit (2012). He teaches literary translation at Indiana University.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

On average\, how much of a given applicant's past would you consider valuable to know when deciding whether to hire this person or not? Our decisions in life are often based on information we gather from the past\, but individuals vary in how far they look back—otherwise known as “past depth”—when making decisions. We propose that the extent of past depth people prioritize depends on the harshness and unpredictability of their environment. Across two studies\, we found that people who grew up in unpredictable environments looked less into the past when making various decisions. Interestingly\, this effect was driven by people from resource-rich backgrounds. We discuss possible reasons for this pattern along with evidence for proximate mechanisms\, including impulsivity and sense of control.

Tourists are increasingly traveling for food\, letting where they eat determine how and where they travel. As a result\, for cities and countries looking to promote themselves\, culinary tourism has become an essential and powerful branding element. But can this kind of travel be about more than simply food? \n\nThis session will explore how Culinary Backstreets\, a leading provider of food tours that operates in a dozen different cities around the world\, uses food-oriented travel to promote cross-cultural communication and sustainable tourism – and\, ultimately\, more impactful experiences.\n\nYigal Schleifer is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Culinary Backstreets. Created in 2012\, Culinary Backstreets covers the local and traditional food scene and offers immersive small group culinary walks in a dozen cities around the world. Between 2002 and 2010\, Yigal was based in Istanbul\, where he worked as a correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor and the German Press Agency (dpa). While in Istanbul he also co-founded Istanbul Eats (istanbuleats.com)\, an award-winning blog about Istanbul’s local food scene\, and co-wrote a guidebook of the same name. He also launched \"Istanbul Calling\,\" a blog about Turkish foreign and domestic affairs.\n\nYigal’s work has also appeared in the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Foreign Policy\, Ha’aretz\, the Times (London) and several other publications.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.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.

While some writers explicitly linked radical eating to radical thinking\, many otherwise revolutionary journals and newspapers were more likely to look upon growing enthusiasm for vegetarianism as a threat to continuity in traditional Jewish cooking. Jochnowitz will examine serious articles addressing the perceived dangers of a vegetarian diet and biting satire poking fun at the ridiculousness of vegetarianism.

While plastics have brought in numerous benefits and simplified our life in many ways\, there are significant drawbacks we face with the plasticwaste that is generated\, with an estimated 95% of plastic packaging discarded after a short first use globally and nearly a third of this escapingthe waste collection infrastructure. Here at BCG\, we have partnered withleading global energy companies to explore novel ways to realize the fullvalue of plastics through sustainable waste management and energy recovery from plastic waste.
