SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: *Stray*
DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘Stray'”\n   \nAbout the film:\nThrough the eyes of three stray dogs wandering the streets of Istanbul\, STRAY explores what it means to live as a being without status or security. As they search for food and shelter\, Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture.\n   \nZeytin\, fiercely independent\, embarks on solitary adventures through the city at night\; Nazar\, nurturing and protective\, easily befriends the humans around her\; while Kartal\, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site\, finds refuge with the security guards who care for her. The disparate lives of Zeytin\, Nazar and Kartal intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them.\n   \nWhether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins\, the gaze of these strays act as windows into the overlooked corners of society: women in loveless marriages\, protesters without arms\, refugees without sanctuary. The film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Virtual Viewing: You Will Die at Twenty
DESCRIPTION:For a limited time\, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”\n   \n   About the movie:\n   NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Well-being:Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Group Therapy - Winter 2021
DESCRIPTION:The University Psychological Clinic is offering a Saturday session of the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) group.  \n\nJoin the Psych Clinic for an eight-week MBCT group starting on Saturday\, Jan. 30\, 2021. The MBCT group serves as treatment for people with depression as well as other mental health conditions. While the chemical and physical aspects of depression and other mental health disorders are far more complex than just feeling down\, current research supports a cognitive approach as a way to change patterns of brain functioning and build resilience in people struggling with chronic depression.\n\nThis program uses a combination of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to help participants form new\, healthier modes of thought. MBCT initiates a cognitive change that helps clients move past events that have the potential to trigger relapse. Participants learn how to view their thoughts without judgment.\n\nIf you are interested in attending or referring a potential group participant\, please contact the Psychological Clinic to begin the process. Call (734) 764-3471 to schedule a screening. Alternately\, you can contact the clinic through the website form\, found here: https://mari.umich.edu/psych-clinic/contact-us.\n\nIf you missed the start of this session or are interested in a group at a different time or on a different day\, please contact us! We have ongoing groups and can organize new sessions based on demand.

SUMMARY:Performance:THE G—RAY AREA
DESCRIPTION:These performances by Ava Ansari are part of the Institute for the Humanities exhibition \"For Your Eyes Only.\" Intended to activate the space\, the performances bring to life the installation by further exploring the positioning of the body and the viewer.\n\nBoth the exhibition and the performances are designed to be viewed from the Thayer St. windows of the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.\n\nPerformance Times: March 13: 4:30-5pm\, 6-6:30pm\, 7:30-8pm.\n\nFrom the artist:\n\"If you come by\, make it soft and slow\, don’t break my glassy agility.\"*\n  \nThe G—ray Area is the isolation and expansion of skin-depth in close proximity celebrations. Working with The G—ray Area\, prepares us for removing and releasing public pains accumulated through insensitive norms of togetherness. The heterotopic transmedia space is an open journal of personal and familial celebrations of the sensual body by Ava Ansari. It chooses Yasmine Diaz’s For Your Eyes Only as a safe space for revisiting Ava’s somatic\, sonic\, and scenic celebratory memories from the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88) airstrikes\, bedroom shadow dances\, underground rules of thumb\, a party arrest in Tehran\, her planet IranUS\, and a recent visit to Saturn. Borderline Knowledge will be the guardians. \n\n1. Ava Ansari’s interpretation of an exerpt from a Persian poem by Sohrab Sepehri (1928-80\, Iran). The poem is carved on Sepehri’s gravestone: به سراغ من اگر می آیید\, نرم و آهسته بیایید\, مبادا که ترک بردارد\, چینی نازک تنهائی من\n\nAva Ansari is a transmedia poet\, transcultural curator\, and yogi (She/They). Ava is the Founding Director of Poetic Societies Global Network for the Somatic\, Sonic\, and Scenic Liberation in Detroit.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.
