Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An 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.

96 Minutes.

The Use of Medieval Mythology in Current Political Culture and Propaganda (October 27, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75572 75572-19534978@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 27, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Our speaker, Professor Martin B. Shichtman studies the ways by which medieval symbols have been embraced by political movements to represent uncorrupted purity. What’s different about recent evocations of knightly signage is their visibility on the Internet where they have become weaponized to attract members and demean enemies.

The goal of the lecture is first to discuss symbols in the medieval period and then discuss how such symbols have resurfaced in the Nazi era and in the contemporary environment to serve the political and propaganda goals of various movements.

This lecture is part of the OLLI Dialog series which promotes conversation and questions throughout presentations.

Dr. Martin B. Shichtman is Director of the Center for Jewish Studies and Professor of English Language and Literature at Eastern Michigan University. He has been a fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and at Brandeis University’s Schusterman Institute for Israel Studies. Dr. Shichtman has co-authored two books, co-edited two collections, and published more than 40 scholarly articles. He has presented more than 100 papers at international, national, and regional conferences. He is the recipient of EMU’s Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching and the Eastern Michigan University Alumni Association Award for Teaching Excellence.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the event.

Collection Ensemble (October 27, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/61790 61790-17071467@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 27, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection 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.

Read the exhibition press release here.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

VIRTUAL SEMINAR LINK: myumi.ch/v2ZYv

This virtual seminar is cosponsored by the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science.

By interweaving multiple neurobehavioral systems, social behavior is a compelling paradigm for the science of complexity. Social behavior is also deeply intertwined with the evolution of cognition and mental health, therefore its understanding has numerous applied utilities that span adult work performance, (un)healthy socio-cognitive aging, children's cognitive development, and even human-machine interactions. I will introduce the empirical and conceptual foundations, mathematical bases and usage of neurocomputational models of social coordination that builds up from a simple model of oscillatory coupling: the Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) model. The model was built from the broadly interdisciplinary intellectual foundations of a legion of dynamical system scientists at Florida Atlantic University's Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, whose work have provided breakthrough for nonlinear coupling, symmetry breaking, discreteness, labile and persistent adaptation and biases. I will discuss merits, liabilities and complementarities between such a paradigm that puts genuine dynamics first, and defers a realistic functional outcome, versus other approaches that start at the top from life-like socio-cognitive architectures. I hope that a conclusion will steer the assembly into a discussion on its hidden premise: that similar dynamical phenomenology at multiple neural, behavioral and social scales speaks to universal laws of complexity across those scales whose discovery is ongoing.

Increasingly, hiring committees are interested in how prospective faculty job candidates will contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a result, many academic employers have begun to request a “diversity statement” as part of the faculty job application process. In this interactive session, we will discuss best practices for writing diversity statements, examine a sample statement, and work through activities designed to help participants start writing their own statement.

egister for October 13th.

In advance of the Presidential election, UMMA and U-M's Ginsberg Center for Community Service and Learning created the “Dialogue Deck for Personal and Political Reflection." The Dialogue Deck pairs twelve images from UMMA’s permanent collection with provocative discussion prompts designed to encourage conversation and reflection about US culture and politics. The Dialogue Deck activity is meant to encourage meaningful dialogue and connection with your family, friends, colleagues, and maybe even yourself.

During the month of October, UMMA will host three "Democracy Conversations" via Zoom that feature the Dialogue Deck activity. Participants will be sorted into small breakout groups of 4-5 people and paired with a host who will gently guide the activity and conversation.  Conversations will last one hour, and offer the opportunity for individuals to learn more about the Dialogue Deck activity and engage in conversation with others outside their immediate social circles. 

The Dialogue Deck can be used by anyone as a self-guided discussion tool, and the print version of the deck is available for free at the UMMA Shop.

UMMA's Vote2020 initiative is presented in connection with the U-M Democracy & Debate theme semester. Thanks to our partners at the Penny Stamps School of Art & Design, the Ginsberg Center for Community Service & Learning, the Ann Arbor City Clerk's Office, MUSIC Matters, and the Center for World Performance Studies.

Synopsis:
An 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.

96 Minutes.

Organized By: Program in International and Comparative Studies

The international community faces no shortage of challenges when it comes to preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. The crisis in US-Russia relations, the slow pace of nuclear disarmament, the future of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, and the emergence of new technologies with military applications–these are just a few of the issues that nuclear policy professionals are working to address today. Each of these problems will require creative ideas and novel methodological approaches to surmount. This talk will highlight different opportunities and career paths for students who may wish to contribute to this process. It will focus in particular on the need for greater diversity, including gender diversity, among experts and practitioners in this field. All students, regardless of their level of knowledge of nonproliferation, disarmament, or arms control, are welcome to attend. Questions are strongly encouraged!

Please note: This session will be held virtually EST through Zoom. This webinar is free and open to students, but registration is required. Once you've registered the joining information will be sent to your email.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Organized by AIGA in partnership with League of Women Voters

2020 marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote in 1920. It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design, voting rights, citizenship, community, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.

The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty, students, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo, Eloise Janssen, Keesa V. Johnson, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo, Endi Poskovic, Destini Riley, and Stamps Gallery. The exhibition includes posters by Audrey Bennett, Johanna Björk, Karen Cheng, Emily Comfort, Jenny El-Shamy, Dinah Fried, Karin Fong, Anne M. Giangiulio, Annabelle Gould, Brockett Horne, Meena Khalili, nicole killian + shawné michaelain holloway, Karen Kurycki, Marty Maxwell Lane, Zuzana Licko, Ana Llorente, Beatriz Lozano, Kelly Salchow MacArthur, Rebeca Mendez, Lana Rigsby, Kaleena Sales, Renee Seward, Laurel Shoemaker, Nancy Sklolos,  Hannah Smotrich, Shanti Sparrow, Jennifer Sterling, Fearn de Vicq, Cymone Wilder, and Lynne Yun.

Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations by Heidi Kumao (October 27, 2020 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77532 77532-19879839@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 27, 2020 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Stamps Gallery is pleased to present Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations, a solo exhibition of narrative fabric works and experimental animations by Stamps Professor Heidi Kumao.

Using fabric cutouts and machine and hand stitching on industrial felt, Kumao gives physical form to the intangible dynamics underlying ordinary conversations and relationships from a feminist perspective. Intentionally minimal, each image distills an interaction, traumatic incident, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs, roots, ladders, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream, suspended in time like a felt film still.

The exhibition is inspired, in part, by the courage, testimony, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault, harassment, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title, “Real and Imagined,” is a deliberate contradiction; if one is true, the other must not be. In practice, however, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong,” “she imagined it.”

The works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.

Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition

Stamps Gallery is proud to kick-off the fall semester with Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Student Poster & Video Exhibition, which brings together powerful posters and playful videos made by the students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

Stamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social, political, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races, genders, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality, structural racism, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the stakeholders in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality, belonging, respect? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote, “My fellow Americans, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths, and all backgrounds, creeds, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful, orderly, non-violent fashion, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful, proactive, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy.

In this spirit, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community, one that is based on the values of racial equality, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases, learn from each other, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life. Through this exhibition Stamps Gallery asks the UM community to come together as artists and audiences and envision models for inclusion that are grounded in equality, belonging and empathy.

Respond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition includes work by Emily Albright, Adriana Alcala, Nathan Byrne, David Forsee, Eloise Jansenn, Rey Jeong, Sohyun Lim, Anika Love, Maggie McConnell, Willian Minzer, Judah Premble, Casey Rheault, Natalia Rocafuerte, Jenna Scheen, Ellie Schmidt, Abigail Seguin, LaKyla Thomas, Elijah Thompson, Benjamin Winans, and Molly Wu.

Artwork was selected through an open call by a committee of Stamps faculty, students, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo, Eloise Janssen, Keesa V. Johnson, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo, Endi Poskovic, Destini Riley, and Stamps Gallery.

Getting involved in research is a great way to build your skills and get the “behind the scenes” look into the science that you later learn about in your textbooks and classes. If you’re thinking of going to graduate or medical school, ideally you want to be starting in a lab by your sophomore year and in most cases no later than your junior year. But how do you find and apply for a position? And what do you do if there’s a pandemic and no positions are available? We’ll go over tips for both these situations.

In addition to coursework such as policy, political economy, economics and quantitative methods, TPP students conduct research in labs and research centers for faculty members. For this work, known as a research assistant ship or RA, students will have their tuition paid by their lab and they receive a monthly stipend. The research conducted in these labs forms the basis of the thesis that will explore an issue at the junction of their field and its evolving policy. TPP admits students for the fall only, and applications are due by December 15th. Please note that the GRE is NOT accepted for the 2020-2021 admissions cycle.

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

T. Ayo Alston teaches and practices a signature theatrical style of West African drum and dance culture that captures the strength and power of women and community. Ayo is the founder, executive director, composer, and choreographer of Ayodele Drum and Dance, a performance training organization created for women to affirm their self-confidence and strength. Through Ayodele, she has performed, educated, fostered interpersonal healing, and created artistic work from a foundation of traditional African cultures fused with contemporary dance styles.

Throughout her career Ayo has taught, choreographed, and performed at schools and universities locally and nationally, as well as in African and Brazilian countries, as an independent artist and as a member of other companies and organizations, such as Dance Africa, Drum Cafe West, Le Bagatae Company of Guinea, Les Ballets Africans, and Muntu Dance Theatre.

In the last two years Ayo has been focused on fine-tuning and sharing her ability to compose music on African instruments, such as the kalimba. This resulted in her accepting a role as a lead actress in and musical composer for Mies Julie at Victory Gardens Theater and as a composer and musician for The Lion King Jr. at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).

Ayo serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia College Chicago and on the Dance faculty at Chicago High School of the Arts. She also has developed drum and dance programs that are thriving in prestigious schools, such as Jones College Prep and Walter Payton College Prep, where Ayodele has trained dancers to teach and gain professional artistic skills and experience.

In the new virtual series, PERFORMING THE MOVEMENT, PERFORMING THE MOMENT, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.
