Bondarenko\u2019s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko\u2019s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova\u2019s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline, red thread connects these projects, weaving through clay and fabric, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive.

These units of memory, or engrams, are poetic portals through which we time travel, gaining hindsight and foresight, more meaning and greater wisdom, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\r\n\r\nIn an era of iPhones, Macbooks, Instagram, and Facebook, everything that\u2019s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original \u2026 every day of every year, every meal of every trip, every postcard destination. With constant 24\/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \r\n\r\nIn Digital Engrams, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound, video, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \r\n\r\nRuiz\u2019s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\r\n\r\n\u2013Amanda Krugliak, IH Arts Curator\r\n\r\nAbout the artist:\r\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media, including sculpture, video, painting, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.\u2019s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico, Ruiz\u2019s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\r\n\r\nOne of L.A.\u2019s rising young talents, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022, part of the museum's Outburst project.\r\n\r\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus, Ann Arbor), Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus, Ann Arbor), Riverbank Arts (Flint), and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one's personal politics, an artwork's potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond\/ Resist\/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring, summer, and fall of 2023, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process. A final list of artworks were chosen for the exhibition by a Selection Committee made up of U-M faculty, staff, and students. \n\nThe 2023 RRR Selection Committee members are: \nPedram Baldari, Jim Cogswell, Laura Cotton, Nalani Duarte, Adrienne Frank, Benjamin Gaydos, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah, Quinn Hunter, Ikalanni Jahi, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Joe Levickas, Srimoyee Mitra, Kathi Reister, Chloe Schans, and Grace Sirman. \nThe 2023 RRR Curatorial Committee members are: \nLaura Cotton, Nalani Duarte, Benjamin Gaydos, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah, Srimoyee Mitra, and Kathi Reister. \nThe 2023 RRR Organizing Committee members are: Chris Audain, Adrienne Frank, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Joe Levickas, Srimoyee Mitra, and Joe Rohrer.

The watercolors, rarely seen plein air paintings, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding, erosion, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa, the University of Texas at Austin, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California, Santa Barbara, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time.
