The pandemic halted the in-person artwork selection typical of Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) exhibits. As an adaptation, PCAP invited artists incarcerated in Michigan state prisons to create small-scale artwork and send their entries by mail.

A link to the exhibit will be posted at https://myumi.ch/kxZ1D on May 19, 2021.

The exhibit includes 141 artworks, featuring a diversity of both artists and artistic choices. All the 2D artworks measure 4 in. x 6 in. and the 3D artworks no more than 4 in. x 6 in. x 4 in.

Artwork sales appointments are available May 20–27, 2021. Book your appointment on the exhibit website. Artwork will remain available for view after the sales period closes.

This exhibit is supported by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Om of Medicine, and hundreds of individual donors. Thank you to everyone who made this show possible!

Presentations:

*State Expansion in Middle Horizon Peru: Re-Examining Wari Impact on the Local Communities of the Cusco Region*, by Veronique Belisle

In the Andes, the Middle Horizon (600-1000 CE) has traditionally been interpreted as a period during which a strong Wari imperial state conquered several provinces and tightly controlled local populations. In the Cusco region of southern Peru, research conducted at large Wari installations has long guided reconstructions of Wari power, leading scholars to argue that Wari presence resulted in the loss of local autonomy and the reorganization of economic activities. In this talk, I use regional surveys and excavation data from the local center of Ak’awillay to test this model and evaluate Wari military, economic, and religious impact in Cusco. Results do not support the hypothesis of a military conquest of the region and suggest strong continuity in agricultural production, exchange networks, and ritual activities. I conclude that Wari impact in Cusco was not as strong as originally proposed and that similar to other early states worldwide, Wari influence did not penetrate very deeply into local life.

*Colonial Legends and the Anthropological Reconstruction of Inca Origins*, by R. Alan Covey

Spaniards collected myths of Inca origins as part of political and religious discourse on colonization. Certain versions of the story eventually became part of Peruvian national history, a legend that John Rowe challenged in the 1940s with his own historical paradigm. Rowe's historicist approach influenced the work of lo andino scholarship in archaeology and ethnohistory as research proliferated from the late 1960s onward. In recent decades, a new body of archaeological data has demonstrated the need for a new anthropological paradigm for Inca origins. The completion of horizontal excavations and regional surveys, and the introduction of new analytical techniques (radiocarbon dates, bioarchaeology, geochemical analysis) have generated multiple lines of evidence for independently reconstructing important aspects of Inca state formation and early territorial expansion. Recent and emerging research encourages new approaches to the ethnohistoric record and better engagement with data from Inca provincial regions. This talk will review the intellectual history of the discourse on Inca origins, summarize current evidence, and identify areas for future interpretation, including issues that are difficult to resolve with archaeological evidence.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This talk shares the journey of establishing Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), the federal government’s most recent Minority-Serving Institution designated to serve Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students. Current descriptive and demographic data will be shared, charting the 14-year growth of AANAPISIs within our postsecondary education system. In doing so, a more accurate portrait of AAPI students will be presented to emphasize the complexity of their educational experiences.
Speaker: Mike Hoa Nguyen is assistant professor at the University of Denver’s Morgridge College of Education and faculty affiliate at the Scrivner Institute of Public Policy and the Interdisciplinary Research Institute for the Study of (In)Equality (IRISE). His research examines the benefits and consequences of public policy instruments in expanding or constraining the operations of colleges and universities, with a specific focus on federal diversity initiatives. In addition to his academic work, Nguyen has extensive professional experience with federal policy, having served as a senior staff member in the United States Congress. Nguyen currently serves as a Commissioner on the Denver Asian American and Pacific Islander Commission, a member of the Board of Directors for the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), and continues to volunteer and provide research consulting for education and civil rights organizations. Most recently, he was a lead author on an amicus curiae brief on behalf of 678 social scientists in SFFA vs. Harvard; which was cited by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in their opinion. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley and his graduate education at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Join the Alumni Association, in partnership with the U-M Museum of Art (UMMA), for this online event on Wednesday, May 26, at 7 p.m. ET, featuring artworks from the museum’s collection of East Asian art. This lecture will explore how some cultures present the concept of “self” within art and how this approach has an effect on their reactions to the pandemic.

Twila Tardif, Professor of Psychology, and Kenneth G. Lieberthal and Richard H. Rogel Professor of Chinese Studies, will discuss her research on language development in English and Chinese and share results from a recent global study she conducted on the factors affecting social distancing behaviors during COVID-19. Professor Tardif and the curators at UMMA will also explore how similar cultural themes are present in art, and how this gives us insight into how concepts of “self” and “other” effect cultural and regional differences in public health events such as the current pandemic.

Broadway actor Telly Leung directs for the first time as he leads the Musical Theatre students in this fresh interpretation of this iconic show. Leung, who starred in Godspell during the 2011 revival, helped guide the cast in making the flexible script as relevant today as it was when Godspell first premiered in 1971. Featuring such showtune standards as “Turn Back, O Man,” “Day by Day,” and “Learn Your Lessons Well”, Godspell is a tribute to vaudeville, breathing parable, and protest piece all at the same time. Prepare ye for the Godspell you know and love from 50 years ago, but told through the perspective of these incredible young theater-makers.
