SUMMARY:Exhibition:In-Between the World and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:In this 3-part installation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nAt the U-M Museum of Art\, massive\, quilt-like panels cover 4\,452 square feet of the exterior of the building\, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nOct. 1-23: Large-Scale Public Art Installation\, U-M Museum of Art\, 525 S.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:John Lewis: Good Trouble (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:In-Between the World and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities\, in collaboration with the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to further the Institute for the Humanities Gallery’s longtime mission in support of art as social practice.\n\nOct. 1-23\; large-scale public art installation\, U-M Museum of Art building facade\, 525 S.

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. 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

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:Lecture / Discussion:The scientific case against racism
DESCRIPTION:Neuroscientist and author David Linden will discuss some of the findings from his upcoming book\, Unique: The Science of Human Individuality\, which explores the origins and importance of human individuality.\n \nIt is surprising that\, with all of the ongoing examination of racism in general and anti-Blackness in particular\, the compelling scientific case against racism has not been part of the discussion. This is a problem even people who are not overtly racist have imagined a scientific basis for certain racial myths and stereotypes. This talk will examine the assertions and assumptions of racist pseudoscience and show how contemporary genetics and neuroscience refute them. \n\nAbout the speaker:\nDavid Linden\, Ph.D.\, is a professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His laboratory has worked for many years on the cellular basis of memory storage\, recovery of function after brain injury and a few other topics. He has a longstanding interest in scientific communication and served for many years as the chief editor of the Journal of Neurophysiology. He is the author of three bestselling books on the biology of behavior: The Accidental Mind (2007)\, The Compass of Pleasure (2011) and Touch: The Science of Hand\, Heart and Mind (2015) which\, to date\, have been translated into 19 languages. Most recently\, he edited a collection of short essays on brain function written for a general audience: Think Tank: Forty Neuroscientists Explore the Biological Roots of Human Experience (2018). His has appeared on the TED Radio Hour\, Fresh Air with Terry Gross and many other media outlets. His next book\, Unique: The Science of Human Individuality will be published by Basic books on September 29\, 2020.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CJS Noon Lecture Series | How Pork-Barrel Politics Holds Japan's Governing Coalition Together
DESCRIPTION:For seventeen of the past twenty years\, Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has governed in coalition with a smaller party\, the Komeito. Despite being former arch rivals and unlikely bedfellows for ideological reasons\, the coalition has proved resilient: despite landslide wins in recent elections\, the LDP stays in the coalition. Why? We present compelling new evidence that Japan's mixed-member electoral system\, variants of which are used in 29 other countries around the world\, enables the LDP to coordinate votes with the Komeito in a way that helps both parties win more seats than they otherwise would. The coalition makes this coordination \"stick\" by withholding government resources from supporters who do not comply and granting it to supporters who do.\n\nAmy Catalinac is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics at New York University. Her current research is on distributive politics in Japan. Her book\, Electoral Reform and National Security in Japan: From Pork to Foreign Policy was published with Cambridge University Press in 2016. Her articles have appeared in the American Political Science Review\, Journal of Politics\, and Comparative Political Studies\, among others. She teaches courses on international relations\, comparative politics\, Japanese security policy\, and Japanese politics.\n\nPlease register for the Zoom webinar at: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Rrb8yH7CSuihp0MzCmadeQ\n   \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Frankel Institute Event Series: Stranger Still: Translating Contemporary Poetry from Israel/Palestine
DESCRIPTION:This series showcases the diversity of poetic voices from Israel/Palestine through the lens of translation. Each event features a multilingual poetry reading and a conversation between poets and translators on the careful negotiations that are involved in the act of translation\, highlighting work that creates its own currents against and beyond the Israeli mainstream. \n\nRita Kogan is a feminist poet and translator in Israel\, producing original verse in Hebrew and translations from her native Russian. Born in Leningrad in 1976 and immigrating to Israel in 1990\, Kogan explores the challenges that Russian-speaking women encounter in their daily life in Israel\, including ethnic discrimination\, sexual abuse\, and the difficulty of expressing sexuality in a patriarchal society. In her poems\, we also encounter a poet full of joie-de-vivre\, one who revels in love and literature. She is the author of Rishayon li-shegiot ketiv (License to Misspell\, 2015) and Sus bahatzait (Horse in a Skirt\, 2018)\, a runner-up for the prestigious Gardner Simon Prize for Hebrew poetry\, and translator of works by Anna Akhmatova\, Marina Tsvetaeva\, Osip Mandelstam\, Joseph Brodsky\, and others.\n\nAlex Moshkin is a Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His book project\, Russophone Culture in Israel: In Search of Identity\, analyzes contemporary Russian literature\, cinema\, and visual art in Israel. He is also currently working on an English-language anthology of contemporary Russian-Israeli poetry. \n\nZackary Sholem Berger is a poet and translator in Baltimore working in and among English\, Yiddish\, and Hebrew\, with occasional forays into other languages. His latest book is All the Holes Line Up (2019)\; a volume of his translations of the Yiddish prose poetry of Avrom Sutzkever is due out soon.\n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://forms.gle/bgutJ2PWSJatUuNN7\nThe Zoom Webinar link and password will be sent to registrants before the event.\n\nPhoto Credit: Sivan Tzadok

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SEMINAR: \"Information-theoretic Generalization Bounds for Noisy\, Iterative Learning Algorithms\" — Daniel Roy
DESCRIPTION:The Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nInformation-theoretic Generalization Bounds for Noisy\, Iterative Learning Algorithms\n\nAbstract:\nDeep learning approaches dominate in many application areas. Our understanding of generalization (relating empirical performance to future expected performance) is however lacking. In some applications\, standard algorithms like stochastic gradient descent (SGD) reliably return solutions with low test error. In other applications\, these same algorithms rapidly overfit. There is\, as yet\, no satisfying theory explaining what conditions are required for these common algorithms to work in practice. In this talk\, I will discuss standard approaches to explaining generalization in deep learning using tools from statistical learning theory\, and present some of the barriers these approaches face to explaining deep learning. I will then discuss my group's recent work (NeurIPS 2019\, 2020) on information-theoretic approaches to understanding generalization of noisy\, iterative learning algorithms\, such as Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics\, a noisy version of SGD.\n\nBio:\nDaniel Roy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto\, with cross appointments in Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is also a CIFAR Canada AI Chair at the Vector Institute. Roy's research spans machine learning\, mathematical statistics\, and theoretical computer science. Roy is a recipient of an NSERC Discovery Accelerator Supplement\, Tri-agency New Frontiers in Research grant\, Ontario Early Research Award\, and a Google Faculty Research Award. Prior to joining Toronto\, Roy was a Research Fellow of Emmanuel College and Newton International Fellow of the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering\, hosted by the University of Cambridge. Roy completed his doctorate in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, where his dissertation was awarded the MIT EECS Sprowls Award\, given to the top dissertation in computer science in that year.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CLASP Alumni of the Year Lecture: Dr. Sue Ellen Haupt of UCAR
DESCRIPTION:Climate & Space is very pleased to welcome back alumna Dr. Sue Ellen Haupt of UCAR to give our 2020 Alumni of the Year Lecture. Please join us!\n\nThis is a Zoom virtual event. \nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94836006294?pwd=Skgzb0JjTi9ESFV2akZNeFJScWNBZz09\nMeeting ID: 948 3600 6294\nPasscode: 421507\n\nTITLE: Using AI in Environmental Sciences\n\nABSTRACT: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have become important tools for the environmental scientist\, both in research and in application. These methods have become quite popular in recent years\, but they are not new.  Early applications in the 1980’s featured more heuristic expert systems approaches\, but by the 1990’s supervised learning methods were beginning to predominate. I began applying genetic algorithms to some of my problems during that timeframe.  Uses continued to progress to the point where these tools have become nearly as standard as statistical analyses.\n\nThe environmental sciences possess a host of interesting problems amenable to advancement by intelligent techniques. We will review the evolution from the early applications and how they have impacted these sciences. We will discuss the types of applications that have been most prevalent as well as my own journey as a physical scientist applying AI as a tool for environmental problems. The talk will touch on topics in weather forecasting\, probabilistic prediction\, climate applications\, optimization problems\, downscaling model runs\, and emulating processes in models. We will finish with a look at where AI is being applied to environmental science\, appears to be going in the future\, and some thoughts on how these methods might be best blended with the physical / dynamical modeling approaches to further advance our science.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:[Aero Homecoming] Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Birds\, Drones\, and Smart Structures
DESCRIPTION:Daniel J. Inman\, Ph.D.\nHarm Buning Collegiate Professor\nDepartment of Aerospace Engineering\nUniversity of Michigan\n\nGliding birds perform some interesting non-aircraft like shapes with their wings and tails. Birds also respond to gusts in unique ways.  These observations have motivated the study of shape changing\, or morphing aircraft. Several unique uses of piezoceramic composites and shape memory alloys to achieve advantageous airfoil shapes are presented inspired by the incredible performance avian species achieve. The aerodynamics and control that birds use in gliding result in efficiencies in performance not yet realized by fixed wing aircraft. With the advent of smart\, multifunctional composites\, it is possible to implement motions inspired by avian gliding in small\, unmanned air vehicles (UAV). Initially motivated by the casual observation of flight control motions made by birds\, morphing research has proceeded with only limited understanding of how and why birds use their aerodynamic surfaces for flight control and gust alleviation. A summary of relevant previous results from two fields: avian biology and morphing aircraft\, is presented followed by some current results on real time computing for learning control to attempt to emulate a bird’s ability to fly-by-feel. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDaniel J. Inman received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University in Mechanical Engineering in 1980 and is the Harm Buning Collegiate Professor of former Chair of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Since 1980\, he has published eight books (on vibration\, energy harvesting\, control\, statics\, and dynamics)\, eight software manuals\, 20 book chapters\, over 400 journal papers and 650 proceedings papers\, given 65 keynote or plenary lectures\, graduated 67 Ph.D. students and supervised more than 75 MS degrees.  He works in the area of applying smart structures to solve aerospace engineering problems including energy harvesting\, structural health monitoring\, vibration suppression and morphing aircraft.  He is a Fellow of AIAA\, ASME\, IIAV\, SEM and AAM.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Native Representation with Dr. Adrienne Keene
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Adrienne Keene (Cherokee Nation) is a Native scholar\, writer\, blogger\, and activist\, and is passionate about reframing how the world sees contemporary Native cultures. She is the creator and author of Native Appropriations\, a blog discussing cultural appropriation and stereotypes of Native peoples in fashion\, film\, music\, and other forms of pop culture. She is also a co-host of the All My Relations Podcast that aims to explore our relationships— relationships to land\, to our creatural relatives\, and to one another.\n\nThrough her writing and activism\, Keene questions and problematizes the ways Indigenous peoples are represented\, asking for celebrities\, large corporations\, and designers to consider the ways they incorporate \"Native\" elements into their work. She is very interested in the way Native peoples are using social and new media to challenge misrepresentations and present counter-narratives that showcase true Native cultures and identities.\n\nAdrienne holds a doctorate in Culture\, Communities\, and Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her research focuses on college access for Native (American Indian\, Alaska Native\, and Native Hawaiian) students and the role of precollege access programs in student success. She is currently working on a book about Native students in the college process\, documenting the work of College Horizons\, an incredible precollege program for Native students. \n\nThis talk will focus on stereotypes and cultural appropriation\, and looks at the ways Native peoples are represented throughout popular culture and the ways Native peoples are pushing back on misrepresentation through social and new media. This talk explores the ways Native peoples have harnessed the power of storytelling through social media to change perceptions\, make our communities visible\, and tell our own modern\, diverse stories in our own voices.\n\nRSVP to attend this event: https://myumi.ch/Yy3zY
