SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manga no Ryokou: The “Manga Map” and A Journey Through the Art of Depiction in Japanese Cartography
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit examines the intersection between art\, narrative\, and geography within Japanese cartography. It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shadow and Light : Solidarity and Connection with Iraqi Academics
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit incorporates a selection of work from the Shadow and Light project\, an initiative memorializing Iraqi academics assassinated between 2003-2013\, a timeframe which roughly parallels the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq. \n\nParticipants from around the world — including Iraqis in diaspora — contributed photographs and personal statements responding to the loss of a particular Iraqi academic listed by the Spanish Campaign against the Occupation and for the Sovereignty of Iraq (La Campaña Estatal contra la Ocupación y por la Soberanía de Iraq / IraqSolidaridad 2005-2013). \n\nThe project emerges from a broader effort undertaken by Iraqis and allies to document the assault on Iraqi scholars\, intellectuals\, and cultural institutions which flared in the wake of the destruction and division wrought by the US-led invasion and occupation. Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Sentimental Archive: Remembering Nubia through Salvage Anthropology
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit showcases select photographs from The American University in Cairo’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library taken by the renowned Egyptian photographer Abd al-Fattah Eid as well as by the Cairo-born Swiss artist Margo Veillon.\n\nIn 1964\, the construction of the Aswan High Dam displaced Nubians from their ancestral villages along the banks of the Nile in Egypt. In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Illustrating the Renaissance Book: From Illumination to Woodcut
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a selection of manuscripts and early printed books from the 15th to the 17th centuries that were illustrated with illuminations and woodcuts. Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Featured Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Featuring work by Gina Gibson\, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

From its inception\, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Student Showcase display in the museum’s main atrium\, behind the mastodons\, to see Molecules of Life.\n\nAugust 2023–July 2024\n\nMolecules of Life (Student Showcase)\nDiscover the connection between form and function as you explore the molecular building blocks of life. In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids\, form determines function\, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421\, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos\, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry\, and Liz Tidwell\, PhD candidate in Biophysics\, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules\, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform\, make\, break\, modify\, and move within the body.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Afterthought: Remembering a Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition: \nIn “Half-Built House\,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood  friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life\, Taylor started ordering identical versions  of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects\, Taylor recalled  a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night\, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate  about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation\, Taylor began  taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering\, breaking\, sawing\, splicing\, painting\, gluing\,  layering\, and reassembling these toys became\, for her\, a way to probe the complicated  nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately\,  Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with  Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.” \n\nSeptember 28 - October 27 \nOpening & Reception: September 28\, 1-3pm \nGalleryDAAS  \n\nAbout this series of events: \nArt & Resistance Fall 2023 Theme Semester Programming \nSponsored by Arts Initiative\, UMMA\, American Culture\, Latina/o Studies\, the Department of Film\,  Television and Media & the Museum Studies Program \nPresented by Charlotte Juergens\, 2nd year Ph.D. student in American Culture \nhttp://bit.ly/UMafterthought

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Janie Paul
DESCRIPTION:Author Janie Paul and two formerly incarcerated artists will discuss the significance of making visual art in prison\, with reference to Paul’s recently published book\, Making Art in Prison: Survival and Resistance\, and the artists’ personal experiences. Using philosophical\, aesthetic\, and political lenses\, they will share and explore various modes of resistance employed by imprisoned artists that combat the dehumanization of prison and create paths toward meaning and purpose\, and reflect on ways to be in solidarity with those who are incarcerated.\nIn Making Art in Prison: Survival and Resistance\, Janie Paul introduces readers to the culture and aesthetics of prison art communities featuring over 200 images of extraordinary work. These powerful stories and images upend the manufactured stereotypes of those living in prison\, imparting a real human dimension—a critical step in the movement to end mass incarceration.\nJanie Paul is a painter\, curator\, writer\, and an Arthur F. Thurnau professor emerita of the Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design at the University of Michigan. For 27 years\, she has traveled throughout Michigan to meet artists and select work for the project she co-founded: the Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons\, an initiative of the Prison Creative Arts Project at U-M.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Premodern Colloquium. The White Crane of Alagśa: Lost Lives of the Sixth Dalai Lama in Mongolia
DESCRIPTION:The Sixth Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso (1683-1706/46) was recognized in secrecy\, lived in controversy\, and passed out of history in mystery. The popular tradition holds that he died whilst travelling to Beijing. Yet in some parts of Mongolia\, it is believed that the exiled Sixth Dalai Lama escaped his captors and lived out his life in the Gobi desert region of Alagśa\, Inner Mongolia. To this day\, the figure of the Sixth Dalai Lama still serves as a central pillar of Alagśan identity\, Buddhist faith\, and cultural pride among the local Mongolian population. \n\nBased on new materials in the form of oral histories\, local legends\, folk songs\, poems\, and textual sources that I collected about the Sixth Dalai Lama in Alagśa during a research trip in 2019\, this paper will explore the formation of religio-cultural identity and the invention of tradition in the Alagśa since the early eighteenth century. These developments centered the Sixth Dalai Lama\, and the narratives are often based on local understandings of the earlier interfaces between the Mongols and the successive incarnations of the Dalai Lama and their regents. This is not a paper that tries to solve the mystery of Tsangyang Gyatso’s death\, but rather\, one that explores the role he played for the Alagśa Mongols in creating authentic narratives of identity and archetypes of sacredness. This is a story of how Tsangyang Gyatso\, his identities\, and his interpersonal relationships were reborn in Alagśa and went on to transcend multiple lifetimes and traverse the geopolitical spheres of the cosmopolitan Buddhist world that spanned the Himalayas\, Inner Asia\, and the Qing.\n\nYou can email telf@umich.edu for a registration link.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hawktail + Väsen
DESCRIPTION:Acoustic supergroups from the U.S. and Sweden\n\nSweden’s Väsen-Duo\, Mikael Marin and Olov Johansson\, have\, after almost 40 years of interaction and touring\, refined their sound and their stage presence to the extent that today they are unique in their kind. With their playful and perfect interplay\, they seem to defy the laws of physics in what appears to be a telepathic communication. The music is intense and full of humor. They create their very own musical language which in its appeal is as modern as it is ancient. With the foundation firmly rooted in the traditional music of Uppland\, they have always looked curiously at new musical goals. Olov & Micke have played together since 1983 when they met at Oktoberstämman in Uppsala and discovered that they had a large common repertoire and a similar way of playing. They perform on a variety of stringed instruments\, including kontrabasharpa\, oktavharpa\, three-rowed nyckelharpa\, violoncello da spalla and a blue electric base-viola. Väsen comes to Michigan with a new album\, “Melliken.” \n\n\nHawktail (formerly Haas Kowert Tice) brings together musicians you've heard in a dozen other places into an exciting new combination! Fiddler Brittany Haas was a member of Crooked Still and is a fixture on Chris Thile's \"Live from Here\" radio shows. Bassist Paul Kowert is a longtime member of Punch Brothers and has also been active in classical music. Guitarist Jordan Tice grew up in bluegrass and has played with The Dave Rawlings Music Machine. And mandolinist Dominick Leslie has studied with Thile\, Mike Marshall\, and David Grisman\, and has performed with Noam Pikelny & Friends and other bands. Put it together\, and you have a band that can range across genres and recombine them with ease\, imagination\, and brilliant virtuosity. Hawktail comes to Michigan with a new release\, “Place of Growth.”\n \nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4239/4240 for more detail.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"American Patriots\" The Recital\, Samantha Williams\, mezzo-soprano
DESCRIPTION:*American Patriots* is a theatrical song-cycle that captures the contemporary American zeitgeist from four vastly different perspectives: African-American\, Native American\, New American\, and white Working-Class American. \n\nFeaturing newly commissioned songs set to the unaltered text of interviews with 40 Americans\, *American Patriots* takes an unflinching look at the lived reality of American ideals today.\n\nTouring in both a recital and fully-staged format\, *American Patriots* asks audiences to practice radical empathy and to actively critique the way they think about race\, class\, and who this country is for. The unique styles of five composers create a dynamic auditory experience that is at times classical\, jazzy\, broadway\, funny\, serious\, and alarming but always engaging and unexpected. \n\nThis project was funded by The Presser Foundation\, the National Center for Institutional Diversity\, the Center for World Performance Studies\, and the University of Michigan EXCEL Lab. \n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nSMTD alumna SAMANTHA ROSE WILLIAMS is an arts activist committed to sharing marginalized experiences with diverse audiences and creating space for critical discussion about art\, culture\, and social change. After earning her B.A. at Stanford University\, Samantha went on to receive her Master’s in Music and Specialist’s in Music at the University of Michigan in Voice Performance. \n\nAn accomplished performer in both musical theater and opera\, a researcher\, and arts leader\, Samantha began producing to share nuanced stories of people of all backgrounds and beliefs. In recognition of her impactful work as a producer\, Samantha was awarded the University of Michigan’s 2022 Graduate DEI Award\, the 2021 MLK Spirit Award\, and served as a panelist in SphinxConnect 2021’s session on youth activism.\n\n*This performance and residency was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.*
