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.

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.

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.

With over 50 members\, they exhibit a diverse approach to painting including watercolor\, oil\, acrylic and mixed mediums. Their subject matter and technique is also quite vast. Abstraction\, realism and even photorealism is all produced by this dynamic organization. As a group they are committed to the highest standard of creative expression\, to furthering the interests and development of individual members through collective activities\, and to maintaining a tradition of promoting art education.

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.

They were in competition with their fellow traders from Portugal\, Netherlands\, France\, Denmark\, and Sweden\, who tried their own fortunes in India. They all got involved in the local political intrigue\, but the British emerged as the preeminent power. 1757 saw the ascendancy of the British East India Company as the ruler of Bengal. Over the next one hundred years\, the Company expanded its power over most of the Indian subcontinent by military conquest. A massive popular rebellion against the Company in 1857 was brutally crushed. The next year\, the British Parliament dissolved the Company and took over the ruling of India\, as a result of the uprising. \n The 20th century saw two world wars and massive social\, economic\, and technological changes globally along with the rise of the independence movement in India. Britain ceded power in 1947 to two political entities\, India and Pakistan. Instructor Lakshminarayanan will hold work groups on Fridays from March 27 through May 15 (no class on April 10).

In theory\, Bayesian methods for discovering pairwise interactions enjoy many benefits such as coherent uncertainty quantification\, the ability to incorporate background knowledge\, and desirable shrinkage properties. In practice\, however\, Bayesian methods are often computationally intractable for even moderate-dimensional problems. Our key insight is that many hierarchical models of practical interest admit a particular Gaussian process (GP) representation\; the GP allows us to capture the posterior with a vector of O(p) kernel hyper-parameters rather than O(p^2) interactions and main effects. With the implicit representation\, we can run Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) over model hyper-parameters in time and memory linear in p per iteration. We focus on sparsity-inducing models and show on datasets with a variety of covariate behaviors that our method: (1) reduces runtime by orders of magnitude over naive applications of MCMC\, (2) provides lower Type I and Type II error relative to state-of-the-art LASSO-based approaches\, and (3) offers improved computational scaling in high dimensions relative to existing Bayesian and LASSO-based approaches.\n*Livestream Info*\nThis Seminar will be livestreamed using Zoom.

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:68986-17207422@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.

CTE has received increased attention due to a growing number of deceased former NFL players being diagnosed with the disease postmortem. CTE can only be diagnosed by neuropathological examination.

There are two main hypotheses on how sleep promotes memory consolidation: the Sleep Homeostasis Hypothesis (SHY) and Active System Consolidation (ASC). SHY posits that during waking experience\, the brain forms new memories – creating and strengthening synapses. Unregulated\, this process could reach a point of saturation\, which would be metabolically expensive and occlude new memory formation. SHY hypothesizes that during sleep\, synapses are uniformly scaled\, eliminating weak connections while stronger synapses (important memories) persist. In contrast\, ASC postulates that sleep synchronizes neural firing\, selectively activating (and strengthening) synaptic connections for specific memories – promoting consolidation. Thus\, according to the two hypotheses\, different synaptic changes are expected across sleep. \n\nUnresolved discrepancies between ACS and SHY may be due to technical limitations. Until recently\, techniques have been unavailable to characterize and manipulate the neurons involved in a specific memory. Experimental outcomes have historically relied on data averaged across the neurons in a given brain structure. This lack of resolution has been a major barrier to understanding how sleep promotes memory consolidation. To move beyond these limitations\, this thesis employs both in vivo recording of neurons (allowing tracking of memory encoding neurons across behavioral states) and recently developed engram\, or memory trace\, tools (allowing us to manipulate the activity of neurons encoding a specific memory). These experimental strategies aim to clarify whether SHY or ASC (or both) occur in primary visual cortex (V1) during post-learning sleep\, and whether this consolidation is dependent on sleep-specific memory reactivation.\n\nUsing neuronal firing rates as a measure of plasticity\, we examined the activity of V1 neurons across sleep\, sleep deprivation\, and post-learning sleep. The learning paradigm used is orientation-specific response potentiation (OSRP) which manifests as selective increases in V1 neuronal responses to a specific orientated grating. All sleep conditions showed an upregulation in the activity of low firing rate neurons and a downregulation of the activity of high firing rate neurons. These low firing rate neurons convey more visual information and selectively express OSRP. This suggests that sleep selectively upregulates the activity of neurons involved in sensory experience while simultaneously downregulating the activity those that are not. \n\nTo evaluate the necessity of memory reactivation during sleep for consolidation\, we used engram technology to selectively manipulate neurons activated by a specific visual stimulus. We combined visually-cued conditioning to oriented gratings with engram labelling to create a tractable system for manipulating a specific memory during sleep. We show that the TRAP (targeted recombination in active populations) engram mouse line can be used to drive transgene expression in a specific oriented grating ensemble in primary visual cortex. We then inhibit this ensemble during post-conditioning sleep causing impaired consolidation. This was done in a content specific manner without altering sleep architecture or oscillations - indicating that reactivation specifically is necessary for sleep dependent memory consolidation.\n\nThis work unites two long standing hypotheses regarding sleep function for brain circuitry - SHY and ASC. The data support a comprehensive model in which sleep selectively reactivates neurons encoding relevant information. This upregulates their activity\, while simultaneously decreasing activity in neurons whose information content is not salient. Future work will be needed to understand the molecular\, cellular\, and network mechanisms which drive these changes in specific cell populations.

Given that the figure of the refugee was alien to the memory of the colonial state\, it was hardly surprising that there were no pre-existing genres of recognizing her. With the exception of Calcutta\, Delhi received a disproportionate number of refugees compared to other cities and urban authorities had to grapple with the absence of an infrastructure of enumerating and identifying them. In this city\, various actors such as the Ministry of Relief and Rehabilitation\, housing agencies\, the Delhi administration and refugee associations acted in concert to fortify the process of rehabilitation from the chaos of displaced identity documents. While an official identity document\, termed the refugee registration certificate did emerge\, it was unrealistic for authorities to undertake rehabilitation on the strength of the scarce possession of this document. Simultaneously\, urban rehabilitation authorities refused to exempt (Dalit\, upper caste Hindu and Sikh) refugee ‘squatters’ from encumbrances of submitting evidence of their caste\, nationality\, displacement\, entry\, occupation and presence in the planned city. Using several genres of primary historical sources\, this paper inquires into how the Indian state went about knowing the refugee dwelling in urban spaces in ways that straddle the philosophical and the feasible\, the material and the intangible. In particular\, it asks the question\, what role did refugee knowledge play in the fashioning of identity documents between 1947 and 1960? This paper must also be read in another register\, namely\, the popular making and not just the popular life of identity documents in marginal spaces of dwelling at an early hour of state formation.\n\nTarangini Sriraman is author of In Pursuit of Proof: A History of Identification Documents in India published by OUP India. The book weaves together a hitherto unattempted history of making and verifying identification documents in the urban margins of India. She teaches Politics and History at the School of Liberal Studies in Azim Premji University\, Bangalore. She has previously been a South Asia Program Fellow\, Cornell University\, Postdoctoral Fellow at Centre de Sciences Humaines\, New Delhi and Visiting Associate Fellow\, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies\, Delhi.

Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.
