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.

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.

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!

However\, the chemistry of small molecules targeting RNA remains a challenge. The academic literature has been littered since the mid-1990s with reports of small molecules binding to RNA that\, in most cases\, did not have the pharmaceutical properties of successful drug candidates and did not bind to RNA potently nor specifically. Screening protein-directed chemical libraries allows the discovery of drug-like molecules that bind to RNA\, but success rates are low\, typically 1/10\,000\, and affinity typically in the low to mid-uM range. We have discovered RNA-binding small molecules that obey Lipinski and RO5 rules and bind to RNA potently (low to mid nM) and specifically (discriminate single nucleotide changes). These molecules target RNAs considered 'undruggable' with low nM affinity. Their size (<400 Da)\, absence of charge\, and in vitro pharmacological properties (ADME and in vitro pharmacology) are those of favorable drug candidates. We will illustrate two examples of the application of this chemistry by reporting 10 nM ligands for HIV TAR and 100 nM ligands for pre-miR-21 with specific biochemical and cellular activity against this potent oncogene.

It is the culmination of our lifetime of experiences\, along with the experiences and lessons handed down from those who raised us. Other ways to say it is our sixth sense or our gut intuition\; knowledge that is inside us and that we access on a regular basis but haven’t yet\, or maybe don’t yet know how to\, put into words. It is the thing that entrepreneurs\, leaders\, creatives\, and everyday people put to use to know what they should do next\, because they can imagine it\, and they know it is right because it feels right. It’s hard to quantify\, but your own personal visionary knowledge can often be accessed by getting our left brain — what I like to think of as our resume brain — out of the way\, just for a while\, so that we can let loose our own unique creative knowing that is tacit knowledge. As we begin to recognize and trust our own tacit knowledge\, we can begin to learn how to intentionally access it in order to help us make decisions that allow us to successfully navigate a sometimes uncertain future. Come along with me for a series of Vision Muscle workshops focused on aspects of work and life where easy access to our vision muscle might be particularly helpful. All of the workshops will be using Vision Muscle strategies\, with unique subjects for you to explore based on your own experience\, vision and expertise. This self-directed experience will allow you to access your own unique knowledge and leave you with skills that will allow you to call up your Vision Muscle on a regular basis.\n\nUsing visual images and reflective writing\, participants will learn how to access their tacit knowledge\, or Visioning Muscles\, to gain insight into tools they already have for living with a resilience that supports a more joyful and celebratory life\, no matter their current circumstances. Join facilitator\, entrepreneur and visioning geek Patricia Berry for a hands-on\, interactive experience that brings out your natural visioning abilities. The Zoom Doors to this interactive and reflective workshop will close promptly at noon\, so please arrive a few minutes early to ensure your participation!

Telomere length and telomerase enzyme activity also have critical roles in cancer. We will explore data showing that exercise can activate telomerase in both rodents and humans\, resulting in telomere length maintenance\, and therefore potentially providing a mechanism of how exercise slows the aging process and reduces the risk of certain cancers. How telomerase is regulated in human stem cells\, dysregulated in human lung cancers\, and our future research directions will also be discussed.\n\nEvent flyer: myumi.ch/gjVB8 UID:79391-20294469@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79391 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Kinesiology,Medicine,Research LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201116T150039 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Virtual Seminar: Building Functional Neurons with Motors & Microtubules DESCRIPTION:Host: Morgan DeSantis\n\n Neurons display an amazing diversity of shapes\, sizes and activities. Underlying neuron structure and function is the microtubule cytoskeleton. Microtubules can be stable or highly dynamic\, undergoing bouts of growth and shrinkage. We have uncovered a novel a-tubulin mutation that regulates microtubule dynamics\, potentially through an effect on acetylation on an uncharacterized site in a-tubulin\, and differentially affects the morphology of two distinct neuron types.

What does it mean to pursue a multi-vocal interpretation of the past? What are the economic consequences of archaeological fieldwork for descendent communities? These questions\, among others\, have come to characterize a set of practices in archaeology broadly defined as \"community archaeology\". For academic archaeologists\, understanding our role as producers of knowledge for\, and alongside\, a diversity of communities has become central to pursuing ethical research and reckoning with archaeology's colonial and imperialist origins. This roundtable will put four archaeologists in dialogue to discuss their current research projects and the various ways they consider and incorporate community engagement. It will explore best practices related to community involvement in archaeology and examine how community-based practices have changed\, and continue to change\, the fundamental nature of archaeological methodologies\, pedagogy\, and publication. The conversation will span the globe\, from Detroit to Northern Sudan\, addressing the problems and prospects of community archaeology in a variety of different political\, social\, and cultural contexts. \n\nZoom Link https://umich.zoom.us/j/96336389639 UID:78710-20107417@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78710 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201205T063013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Yale School of the Environment Master's Program Information Session for the University of Michigan DESCRIPTION:The Yale School of the Environment aspires to lead the world toward a sustainable future with cutting-edge research\, teaching\, and public engagement on society’s evolving and urgent environmental challenges.

The Covid-19 Crisis: Effects on Criminal Violence and Public Security in Latin America DESCRIPTION:Free event\; please register at http://myumi.ch/ZQbrP\n\nLatin America is the region with the highest incidence of homicides per-capita in the globe. Whereas the region accounts for only 13 percent of the world's population\, it reports around 40 percent of total homicides. In many areas\, criminal groups contend the state for dominance as they cash in billions of dollars from the drug trade. The COVID health crisis has disrupted the drug market and the balance of power within criminal organizations. At the same time\, countries across Latin America are struggling with weakening economies\, massive unemployment\, abusive police behavior\, and the shadow of militarization and populism. \n\nThis panel brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to analyze the different channels in which the pandemic might accentuate criminal violence and other public security pre-existing challenges in the region. Examples will be drawn from Mexico\, Brazil\, Colombia\, and Venezuela.\n\nPresenter Biographies:\n \n Edgar Franco-Vivanco is a MIDAS and NCID postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan. Edgar’s research agenda explores how colonial era institutions and contemporary criminal violence shape economic under-performance\, particularly within Latin America. His dissertation-related book project studies the role Indigenous groups have played in the state-building process of the region since colonial times. Using extensive archival data of colonial Mexican courts\, combined with automated text analysis\, he examines the complex interactions between Indigenous communities and the colonial state. Edgar’s research on contemporary challenges to development focuses on criminal violence and policing. He is co-authoring a book that draws on extensive fieldwork in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, to study the differentiated effects of state interventions against organized criminal groups.\n \n Beatriz Magaloni is Professor in the Department of Political Science and a Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) at Stanford University. She is also director of the Poverty\, Violence and Governance Lab. Most of her current work focuses on state repression\, police\, human rights\, and violence. In 2010 she founded the Poverty\, Violence and Governance Lab (POVGOV) within FSI's Center on Democracy\, Development and the Rule of Law. Her work has appeared in the *American Political Science Review*\, *American Journal of Political Science*\, *World Development\, Comparative Political Studies*\, *Annual Review of Political Science*\, *Latin American Research Review*\, *Journal of Theoretical Politics* and other journals. Her first book\, *Voting for Autocracy: Hegemonic Party Survival and its Demise in Mexico* (Cambridge University Press\, 2006)\, won the Best Book Award from the Comparative Democratization Section of the American Political Science Association and the 2007 Leon Epstein Award for the Best Book published in the previous two years in the area of political parties and organizations. Her second book\, *The Political Logic of Poverty Relief* (co-authored with Alberto Diaz Cayeros and Federico Estévez)\, also published by Cambridge University Press\, studies the politics of poverty relief.\n \n Eduardo Moncada is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Barnard College\, Columbia University. His research agenda focuses on the political economy of crime and violence as well as comparative urban politics in Latin America. Moncada is the author of *Cities\, Business and the Politics of Urban Violence in Latin America* (Stanford University Press\, 2016) and co-editor of *Inside Countries: Subnational Research in Comparative Politics* (Cambridge University Press\, 2019). In his forthcoming book\, *Resisting Extortion: Victims\, Criminals and Police in Latin America* (Cambridge University Press)\, he analyzes the different ways in which victims mobilize to negotiate\, end or prevent extortion at the hands of armed criminal groups. He has published articles in *Perspectives on Politics*\, *Latin American Research Review*\, *Comparative Politics*\, *Studies in Comparative International Development*\, and *Global Crime*\, among others. Moncada's research has received support from the Fulbright-Hays program\, the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation\, the Smith Richardson Foundation\, and the Ford Foundation / National Academy of Arts and Sciences.\n \n Rebecca Hanson is Assistant Professor of Crime\, Law & Governance at the University of Florida\, with a joint appointment in the Department of Sociology and Criminology & Law and the Center for Latin American Studies. She has published research on Venezuela in the *Journal of Latin American Studies*\; *The Sociological Quarterly*\; *Crime*\, *Law*\, and *Social Change*\; and *REVISTA M. Estudos sobre a Morte*\, *os Mortos e o Morrer*. She has also published extensively in outlets such as *The Christian Science Monitor*\, *NACLA*\, *The Conversation*\, and *Insight Crime*. Her book *Harassed: Gender\, Bodies\, and Ethnographic Fieldwork*\, co-authored with Patricia Richards (University of Georgia) was published last year with University of California Press.\n \n Sandra Ley is Assistant Professor at the Political Studies Division at the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE). Prior to her arrival at CIDE\, she was a visiting fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Sandra studies criminal violence and political behavior. Her research focuses on the political consequences of criminal activity. Her most recent work examines how violence affects the activation of civil society\, political participation and accountability. Sandra’s work includes several sources of information. She conducted extensive fieldwork in the north and south of Mexico\; she designed an original post-election survey and built a unique database on protests against crime and insecurity in Mexico. Together with Guillermo Trejo\, Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame\, she is the coauthor of the book Votes\, *Drugs\, and Violence. The Political Logic of Criminal Wars in Mexico* (Cambridge University Press\, 2020). Her work has been published in *British Journal of Political Science*\, *Comparative Political Studies*\, *Journal of Conflict Resolution*\, *Latin American Politics and Society*\, *Latin American Research Review*\, among other international academic journals.

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.\n\nThe 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.

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.\n\nThe 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.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

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. \n\nIn 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 solve for P’s optimal strategy and find a new\, but intuitive\, set of bargaining dynamics. When A’s outside option increases\, A is tempted to cease bargaining\, leading P to increase A’s continuation by gradually promising A a larger share of the surplus (decreasing demands) and giving A more time to explore his outside option before being forced to make a decision (decreasing pressure). We explore comparative statics and show that although P ’s value of bargaining is decreasing in A’s outside option\, it increases when the expected value of A’s outside option tomorrow rises. We show P’s optimal strategy can be implemented without commitment.

The rain-snow transition elevation\, or the elevation where snow melts into rain\, is a key variable when studying mountain meteorology\, hydrology\, and storm impacts. Sudden\, extreme vertical changes in rain-snow elevations\, or atmospheric snow levels\, can influence impacts\, but have not been previously catalogued.\n\nIn this study\, we design a detection algorithm for extreme snow level changes which are first defined as one-hour vertical changes of a magnitude equal to or greater than 400 meters. We consider snow levels obtained from ten vertically-pointing ground radars across California. The past six cool seasons are included. In addition to defining and detecting extreme changes in rain-snow level\, extremes are described in terms of seasonality and variations by water year and radar. We also investigate relationships between extreme rain-snow elevation changes and atmospheric rivers - low-tropospheric corridors of enhanced moisture which form over near-tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean and can travel to reach land\, contributing up to half of California’s annual water supply.

G. PELTIER\n\nAs a Creole emerges and evolves\, its creators alter and shift the functions of the words and structures contributed by its various source languages\, yielding an abundance of multifunctional items whose meanings are challenging to determine. In the field of pragmatics\, whole research areas are dedicated to the complexities of multifunctional items\, particularly elements like deictics and pragmatic markers that help speakers navigate discourse. The discourse-level contributions of multifunctional items are rarely the focus of work on Creoles and other contact varieties\, and pragmatic research tends to focus on better-documented languages of prestige. As a result\, there is much room for fruitful work at the intersections between creolistics and pragmatics\, and such scholarship both expands our knowledge of multifunctional items cross-linguistically and deepens our understanding of language contact by addressing it at the pragmatic level. The goal of my research is to explore these intersections. Using corpus-based and experimental methods\, I examine the pragmatics of multifunctional elements such as locative deictics and pragmatic markers in Kwéyòl Donmnik (an understudied Creole language declining in use) and its superstrates\, French and English. In this talk\, I will describe the fruits of my research journey thus far as well as the dissertation work I am now conducting. \n\nA sociophonetic study of tones on Jeju Island\nby Moira Saltzman\n\nIn this talk I will discuss the results of a sociophonetic study on the emergence of a tonal distinction in Jejueo\, an endangered Koreanic language indigenous to Jeju Island\, South Korea. The three-way stop contrast in Korean\, between fortis\, lenis and aspirated voiceless stops is well documented. In recent years the length of the VOT which comprised the phonetic distinction in the three-way contrast has been converging for lenis and aspirated stops across many varieties of Korean. At the same time\, vowels following the converging lenis and aspirated stops have developed low and high pitch\, respectively. The shifting of cues from VOT to tone for Korean stop consonants can be described as tonogenesis\, first discovered in Seoul Korean. With the degree of influence that the highly prestigious Seoul variety of Korean has on media and education\, tonogenesis has spread outward from the Seoul/ Gyeonggi province area. \nIn this talk I will present updated results of an apparent-time sociophonetic study of the development of a tonal distinction in Jejueo. The study shows that tonogenesis has spread outward from mainland Korea and has entered Jejueo for all speakers\, but to varying degrees\, based on extralinguistic factors of age\, language dominance in Korean and Jejueo\, and language attitudes toward Jejueo. More broadly\, this study adds to the discussion of language loss and sound change\, as language dominance and attitudes are shown to contribute to phonological attrition of heritage language in a disglossic environment.

How does racialization specifically affect Afro-Indigenous people? How do the values of settler colonialism perpetuate violence against both Black and Indigenous people\, and how can we adopt the values of indigeneity in order to move towards a post-settler world? In this panel discussion\, Dr. Kyle T. Mays and Amber Starks will discuss these questions and more.\n\nDr. Kyle T Mays (Black/Saginaw Anishinaabe) is a transdisciplinary scholar and public intellectual of Indigenous studies\, Afro-Indigenous studies\, urban history\, and Indigenous popular culture. He is an Assistant Professor in Africa American Studies at UCLA. He earned his Ph.D. in the Department of History at the University of Illinois\, Urbana Champaign in 2015. At present\, he is working on three books. The first is titled\, Hip Hop Beats\, Indigenous Rhymes: Modernity and Hip Hop in Indigenous North America (Forthcoming\, June 2018\, SUNY Press). This book explores how Indigenous Hip Hop artists challenge settler colonialism and construct modern\, Indigenous identities through Hip Hop culture. The second book is titled\, The Indigenous Motor City: Indigenous People and the Making of Modern Detroit (under contract with the University of Washington Press). This book examines how Indigenous people and representations of them were central to the development of Detroit\, from the late 19th century the present. He is also co-editing an anthology titled\, Decolonizing Hip Hop: Blackness and Indigeneity in Hip Hop Culture (under contract with Sense Publishers: Youth\, Media\, and Culture Series).\n\nAmber Starks (aka Melanin Mvskoke) is an Afro Indigenous (African-American and Native American) activist\, aspiring cultural critic/commentator\, a student of decolonial theory\, and budding abolitionist. She is an enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and is also of Shawnee\, Yuchi\, Quapaw\, and Cherokee descent. Her passion is the intersection of Black and Native American identity. She seeks to normalize\, affirm\, and uplift the multidimensional identity in both the Black and Native communities through discourse and advocacy around anti-Blackness\, abolishing blood quantum\, Black liberation\, and Indigenous sovereignty. Her activism encourages Black and Indigenous peoples to prioritize one another and divest from compartmentalizing struggles. She ultimately believes the partnerships between Black and Indigenous peoples (and all POC) will aid in the dismantling of anti-blackness\, white supremacy\, and settler colonialism\, globally. \n\nRegister Here: https://myumi.ch/K4NMW UID:78759-20119194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78759 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african and afroamerican studies,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,MESA,native american,Native American Heritage Month LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201102T152455 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T190000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Trans*/Non-Binary CenterSpace Drop-In DESCRIPTION:Register at bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events\n\nThe Trans/NonBinary/Agender/Genderqueer CenterSpace provides a monthly drop-in space for different communities within queer life at the University of Michigan.

This translates into working with moving images to unsettle ways of ordering space and time through timelines\, life-lines\, latitudes\, and longitudes. Raqs practices across several media\, including installation\, sculpture\, video\, performance\, text\, and lexica. In the video 31 Days (2020)\, Raqs takes the predicament of quarantine and seclusion caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to offer a meditation on a restless world in a quiet time. Raqs takes traces of materials in order to breach the boundaries and limits of historical time by intensifying the experience of a sensory encounter with the immeasurability of life forms. In the video The Blood of Stars (2018)\, blood\, meteorites older than the earth\, and iron mines in the arctic circle combine to offer a way of thinking concretely and materially about the intimacy of life\, death\, mining\, war\, and the pulse of the cosmos.\n\nFrom 2000–2013\, Raqs spent time at Sarai\, which they co-founded at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in North Delhi\, and where they were members of the Editorial Collegiate of the Sarai Reader Series. Raqs’ work has been shown in museums and exhibitions across the world\, including Documenta 11\, Venice\, Istanbul\, Sydney\, Shanghai\, and Sao Paulo Biennales\, and in solo exhibitions at the National Gallery of Modern Art\, New Delhi\; Tate Modern\, London\; Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC)\, México City\; Fundación PROA\, Buenos Aires\; Whitworth Art Gallery\, Manchester\; K21 Ständehaus\, Düsseldorf\; and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art\, Doha\, Qatar\, among others.
