Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

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.

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.

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.

They received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wayne State University and an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Nour Ballout’s practice grapples with the ways looking can manifest as both resistance and violence while negotiating the tensions among visibility\, documentation and surveillance. Through photography\, archive and space making\, their work interrogates the ways the naturalization of structures of power manifest within bodies\, built environments\, and communities.\n\nNour currently serves on the Detroit Institute of Arts contemporary arts advisory group. They are the recipient of many awards\, fellowships and grants that include the 2023 Modern Ancient Brown Fellowship\, the ICI EXPO Curatorial Research Fellowship\, the 2022 Michigan Arts and Cultural Council Grant\, the 2021 Transforming Power Fund Grant\, the 2019 Knight Arts Challenge Award\, Kresge Arts in Detroit Gilda Award and many more.

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.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … 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? \n\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? \n\nRuiz’s 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.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\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.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s 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.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities. This exhibition is part of LSA's fall 2023 Art & Resistance theme semester.* UID:110231-21824642@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/110231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Theme Semester,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

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.

DESCRIPTION:Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance\, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology\, robotics\, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women\, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves. \nTrained as an engineer and an artist\, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex\, layered\, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving\, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood\, technology\, female bodies\, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to\, and alternative to\, patriarchal\, capitalist\, production-based\, and seemingly rational\, useful\, logical systems. \n“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F\, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

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.

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 exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio\, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories\, connections\, and tensions present in West Texas through film\, sculpture\, installation\, collage\, and drawing. \nThe experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories\, reenactments\, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization\, migration\, and ecological precarity\, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias\, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas\, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4\,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry\, infrastructure\, and private property. \nEmerging from the research to create the film\, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools\, series of drawings and collages\, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos\,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. 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. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories\, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.

This has led institutions with collections of ancient Egyptian art and artifacts to revisit the ways in which they classify\, interpret\, and display their collections. These shifts in museum practice have revealed many competing interests\, exposing the complex ways in which inclusion\, identity\, and ownership are deeply intertwined. I witnessed these competing interests first-hand this summer during my MSP internship when a new exhibition highlighting the influence of ancient Egypt and Nubia in contemporary black music debuted at the Dutch National Museum of Antiquity in Leiden\, the Netherlands.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss this and other curatorial and institutional case studies that reflect current trends and the complicated discourses developing from them. Additionally\, I will consider the future of these movements and how they may affect museum practices.

To protect and restore them\, we need a clear understanding of exactly where they are\, where they were\, and where they could be in the future. A team led by the National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) recently completed an ambitious effort to map estuarine habitat in and around the 30 NERRs. They used a powerful combination of NOAA resources for elevation and tidal datums to map the reach of tides\, historical topographic sheets generated by NOAA’s predecessor agency to map past habitat distributions\, and compared this to mapping from USFWS’s National Wetland Inventory (NWI).\n\nElevation-based mapping revealed that estuary extent is greater than currently mapped in NWI. At more than two-thirds of the Reserves\, the team detected tidal forests missed by NWI. Comparison of historical maps to NWI revealed dramatically greater loss of tidal wetland extent on the Pacific coast than in other regions. The results of this investigation suggest that multiple mapping methods complement each other and should be integrated to provide a more accurate understanding of estuaries—past\, present and future.

Gorman\, Ph.D. is a Professor in Human Systems Engineering and Deputy Director of the Center for Human Artificial Intelligence and Robot Teaming (CHART) at Arizona State University and Senior Research Personnel with the NSF Institute for Student-AI Teaming at the University of Colorado. Dr. Gorman’s research focuses on dynamical systems and computational models of team coordination. His research is conducted in complex sociotechnical environments\, including medical\, space\, military\, educational\, and sports settings\, focusing on building generalizable models\, metrics\, and measurement systems. Dr. Gorman’s research has been funded by DoD\, NSF\, and industry partners. He is a member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and serves on the editorial boards of Human Factors and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied.\n\nAbstract: Human-autonomy teams operating in dynamic (“perturbed”) environments primarily interact across human and machine elements. However\, most measurements are subjective\, involving observer ratings and survey responses (e.g.\, trust\; influence\; autonomy)\, and there is a need for theoretically grounded\, objective\, and metrics of real-time human-machine coordination states. This talk presents generalizable objective measurement systems for measuring the dynamic spread of trust and distrust through influence\, quantifying team resilience to automation and autonomy failures\, and AI-supported collaborative learning in K -12 education. The practical deployment of measurement frameworks in dashboards and machine learning agents will be discussed.

This endows the cohomology of X with an extra structure\, known as the perverse filtration\, which measures the singularities of the map f. In recent years\, the decomposition theorem and the induced perverse filtration have been found to share surprising connections to other branches of mathematics\; these include non-abelian Hodge theory (the P=W conjecture)\, enumerative geometry (Donaldson-Thomas and BPS invariants)\, planar singularities (DAHA\, knot invariants)\, and hyper-Kähler geometries (Hodge modules\, motivic techniques). In this lecture series\, I will discuss some of these developments. If time permits\, open questions will be presented and discussed.

In these dense stellar systems\, the energy\, mass and radiation released by the massive stars is correlated in space and time\, and this clustered feedback regulates the baryonic lifecycle of their host galaxies. However\, current modern simulations of galaxy formation lack this critical effect on the evolution of galaxies. In this talk\, I will present a novel method to model the influence of individual star clusters on their host galaxy within the hydrodynamical code GIZMO. By employing sink particles that are able to accrete gas\, form stars and merge with one another\, I can represent stellar clusters built via gas accretion and in-situ star formation\, and hierarchical merging. I will demonstrate that this prescription leads to molecular clouds being shorter lived due to more destructive feedback\, and I will discuss what physics are required to reproduce the formation of star cluster populations in this scenario.

Since he first appeared in 1919’s The Curse of Capistrano\, this heroic Latino character has been righting wrongs in a romanticized nineteenth-century Los Angeles. Anthony Mora asks what we can make of Zorro’s popularity in a nation with such a long history of anti-Latine sentiment. Returning to Zorro’s origin story offers us a quirky view into the contradictory impulses that shaped popular understandings about the United States’ Mexican past and its Mexican present. \n\nAnthony Mora's principal research interests focus on the historical construction of race\, gender\, and sexuality in the US Southwest. His book Border Dilemmas explores how the first generations of Mexicans living in the United States grappled with the racial and national ideologies that circulated along the nineteenth-century border. He is currently writing a history of the fictional character of Zorro from 1919 to the present. The iconic character serves as a means of tracing changing representations of Mexican Americans\, historical memory\, and US regionalism.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

In this talk\, I will discuss the application of Floquet engineering for inducing novel non-equilibrium phases of matter in steady states of time-periodically driven semiconductors. The steady states are achieved due to the interplay between the coherent external drive\, electron-electron interactions\, and dissipative processes arising from the coupling to phonons and the electromagnetic environment. I will show that despite the highly non-equilibrium nature of these systems\, by judicially choosing the properties of the material\, the external drive\, and the environments\, their steady states can exhibit topological transport\, metal-to-insulator phase transitions and even strongly correlated phases such as a novel electronic liquid gyro-crystalline phase.

IVDs are complex\, heterogeneous structures that are prone to cumulative damage overtime due to a limited regenerative capacity. The accrual of IVD injuries leads to IVD degeneration\, which is associated with debilitating back pain. Successful healing of connective tissue injuries relies on temporally regulated immune cells that rapidly infiltrate damaged tissues and initiate regenerative cascades. These immune cells migrate into injured tissues and function as critical mediators of tissue regeneration and healing. However\, the identity of these immune cell subtypes\, their temporal coordination\, and their effect on the IVD healing response after acute injury remain understudied. The objective of this study is to prevent IVD degeneration by defining the role of infiltrating immune cells during the acute stages of IVD repair. The importance of immune cells in facilitating healing has been well characterized in many musculoskeletal (MSK) tissues\, such as bone and muscle\, where T lymphocytes have been shown to be critical mediators of repair\, but their role in IVD healing is unknown. Preliminary data show an important regulation of Cd3+ T cells in the IVD healing response that varies with sex where 12 week C57BL6 female mice with recurring waves of T cell infiltration during the acute IVD repair stages show less degenerative changes post injury than aged matched males. Therefore\, the hypothesis is that Cd3+T cells are essential for IVD healing in female mice. These studies will offer a targeted approach to modulate IVD repair by elucidating the sex-related differences in the types and temporal regulation of key immune cell subtypes important during IVD healing.\n\nBio:\n\nDr. Sade Clayton is a Burroughs Wellcome Fund PDEP and Rita Levi- Montalcini Post-Doctoral Fellow in Regenerative Medicine in her third year of her training at Washington University in St. Louis in the Orthopaedic Surgery department. Her PhD thesis work was conducted in the Cell\, Developmental and Integrative Biology department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham with Rosa Serra. There\, she identified a novel signaling pathway utilized by TGFβ during spinal column formation with an emphasis on spinal fibrous tissue development in mouse and chick embryo models. Her postdoctoral work in the labs of Simon Tang and Lori Setton aims to determine the function of the immune system in the development and repair of the intervertebral discs of the spine using RNA transcriptomics\, microscopy\, and flow cytometry in mouse and humans.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99085426766 UID:115357-21834565@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115357 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1311 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240123T080713 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Breakfast for Dinner DESCRIPTION:Come join us for everyone's favorite dinner party!

This live playback through malfunction is reminiscent of sound artist and composer Annea Lockwood’s *Piano Transplants* (1968- ) series where the piano has the capacity to continue sounding without the presence of a human performer as the natural elements transform its materiality\, functionality\, and the physicality of its sound. \n\nVisual and sonic references to idyllic nature\, a cottagecore aesthetic\, and representations of the mediated musicality of her sound are abundant across Taylor Swift’s *folklore* and *evermore* album releases\, including the audiovisual settings for her music videos\, the paramusical imagery of her official lyric videos\, and the stagecraft of her live performances. This talk examines three audiovisual events as eco-sonic media to address the entangled ecological meanings encoded in Swift’s musical and paramusical expression in one of her most recent “eras”: The sound design of *folklore* and *evermore*\, including Swift’s duet with Justin Vernon on “exile\,” the woodland stagecraft and worldbuilding of the televised 63rd Grammys performance\, and the rewilded moss-covered piano and gothic nature of The Eras Tour *folklore* and *evermore* sets. This talk takes Swift’s work as a cue to develop novel approaches to listening for and interpreting sonic environments in mediated spaces.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nKATE GALLOWAY is Assistant Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Her in-progress monograph *Remix\, Reuse\, Recycle: Music\, Media Technologies\, and Remediating the Environment* examines how and why contemporary artists remix and recycle sounds\, music\, and texts encoded with environmental knowledge. Her work is published in *American Music*\, *The Soundtrack*\, *Ethnomusicology*\, *MUSICultures*\, *Tourist Studies*\, *Sound Studies*\, *Feminist Media Histories*\, *Popular Music*\, and *Twentieth-Century Music*\, among other venues. She has co-edited two special journal issues (*American Music* and *Twentieth-Century Music*) with K. E. Goldschmitt and Paula Harper that address the creative and social phenomena of internet music communities and practices of listening to the internet. Galloway is also co-editor of two forthcoming collections: *Music and Sonic Environments in Video Games: Listening to and Playing Ludic Soundscapes* with Elizabeth Hambleton and *Taylor Swift: The Star\, The Songs\, The Fans* with Christa Bentley and Paula Harper. \n\n*This program is organized by the Department of Musicology at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.* UID:113870-21831843@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Free,Lecture,Music,Research,Scholarship,Talk LOCATION:Burton Memorial Tower CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231130T162030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UM EMS Club November Mass Meeting DESCRIPTION: UID:115538-21834969@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115538 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Michigan League 3rd floor Koessler Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231215T183114 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T183000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:2024 Backcountry Trails Program information session DESCRIPTION:Do you seek adventure and challenge in a spectacular outdoor environment while getting paid and kickstarting your career?

His performance practice and visual work find roots in Black knowledge\, objects\, history\, and archives. His work focuses on the possibility of the “life within things” and redeems spaces that have been left behind. He is the founder of the Rebuild Foundation\, an artist-led\, community-based platform for art\, cultural development\, and neighborhood transformation whose mission is to demonstrate the impact of innovative\, ambitious and entrepreneurial cultural initiatives enriched by three core values: Black people matter\, Black spaces matter\, and Black objects matter.\nGates will be speaking as part of the Arts &\; Resistance Theme Semester\, which features the exhibition Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield\, South Carolina\, currently on view at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA). This landmark exhibition includes more than 60 objects representing the work of African American potters in the decades surrounding the Civil War as well as several contemporary works from leading Black artists\, including Gates\, whose work connects the past to the present. The exhibition is a reckoning with the central role that enslaved and free Black potters played in the long-standing stoneware traditions of Edgefield\, South Carolina. It is also an important story about the unrelenting power of artistic expression and creativity\, even while under the brutal conditions of slavery. Hear Me Now highlights the joy\, struggle\, creative ambition\, and lived experience of African Americans in the 19th-century American South.\nGates’ presentation also serves as the kick off to a day-long convening on the issues raised by the exhibition. Organized in partnership with exhibition co-curator and U-M Professor of History\, Jason Young\, the convening will take place on Friday\, December 1\, at UMMA: find complete details at umma.umich.edu.\nGates has exhibited and performed at Biennale Architettura 2023\, Venice\, Italy (2023)\; Fondazione Prada\, Venice\, Italy (2023)\; The New Museum\, New York\, (2022)\; The Aichi Triennial\, Tokoname (2022)\; The Serpentine Pavilion\, London (2022)\; The Victoria and Albert Museum\, London\, UK (2021)\; Whitechapel Gallery\, London\, UK (2013 and 2021)\; Tate Liverpool\, UK (2020)\; Haus der Kunst\, Munich (2020)\; Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis (2019)\; Palais de Tokyo\, Paris\, France\; Sprengel Museum Hannover\, Germany (2018)\; Kunstmuseum Basel\, Switzerland (2018)\; National Gallery of Art\, Washington D.C.\, USA (2017)\; Art Gallery of Ontario\, Canada (2016)\; Fondazione Prada\, Milan\, Italy (2016)\; Whitechapel Gallery\, London\, UK (2013)\; Punta della Dogana\, Venice\, Italy (2013) and dOCUMENTA (13)\, Kassel\, Germany (2012).

An opening reception with food\, conversation\, and community will be held on November 30th from 6-8pm. \nAbout the ArtistFatema Haque (she/her) is a Bangladeshi American writer\, educator\, and fiber artist based in Michigan. A self-taught fiber artist\, Haque’s art celebrates the legacies of the Bangladeshi diaspora: those who immigrate\, those who don’t\, and the memories they carry with them wherever they go. Each intricate portrait requires anywhere from 30-100 hours of work\, is done entirely by hand\, typically on fabric she naturally dyed with plants and food scraps. She is inspired by the artistic legacies and resourcefulness of her aunts and grandmothers\, who created hand-embroidered goods that were never formally recognized as art.

Brace yourselves for a Jersey-fied twist on the operatic classic as we transport *Gianni Schicchi* from the cobblestone streets of 13th-century Florence to the sun-soaked shores of 2005 New Jersey! Picture this: a tale of money\, greed\, and the eternal clash between the old guard and the new wave\, all set against the backdrop of big hair\, bigger attitudes\, and the inescapable allure of the Jersey shore. \n\nGianni Schicchi\, the real Florentine legend plucked straight from Dante's *Inferno*\, is reborn in a high-spirited satire that's part cunning deceit\, part operatic rollercoaster. Get ready for a libretto that's more Sopranos than Puccini\, as we explore the timeless themes of wealth\, family\, and the pursuit of that elusive American Dream. \n\nAnd who could forget the show-stopping aria \"O mio babbino caro\,\" a powerhouse performance that'll leave you breathless and reaching for those gelato-scented tissues. Join us for a night of operatic mayhem where tradition meets modernity\, and where New Jersey's own Gianni Schicchi proves that even in the Garden State\, the drama is as grand as the arias!

She speaks no lines and is probably a typo. \n\nIn Aditi Kapil’s *Imogen Says Nothing*\, Imogen is a woman in Elizabethan England whose life is changed by the opportunity to appear in a performance of *Much Ado About Nothing* – an opportunity reserved solely for men. Imogen appears on stage as a woman playing a man playing a woman. To make matters more complicated\, Imogen is also a bear. \n\nA revisionist comedy in verse and prose\, this feminist hijacking of Shakespeare investigates the voices that have long been absent from the theatrical canon\, and the consequences of cutting them. \n\n*Imogen Says Nothing* premiered on January 20\, 2017\, at the Yale Repertory Theatre\, which also commissioned the play\, in New Haven\, Connecticut.\n\nWritten by Aditi Kapil\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip\n\nFUN FACTS: Aditi Kapil took the title from a piece of dialogue in *Much Ado About Nothing*. Beatrice\, when describing Benedick\, says\, “The one is too like an image and says nothing.” \n\nAditi Kapil discusses the development of Imogen at Yale here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZc0lWwiqI UID:108267-21819194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/108267 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Comedy,Culture,Diversity,In Person,Social Impact,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231130T180012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T203000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Swing Ann Arbor Swing II: November Swingout Bootcamp DESCRIPTION:WHAT: It’s back again for a second month! In this course\, we will build on the Lindy Hop essentials of Swing I and learn how to do a swingout. Swingouts are a fundamental (and by far the most recognizable) move of Lindy Hop! They require dancers to hone their connection with a partner and can lay the groundwork for many new moves. We will dedicate most of the time in this class to cleaning up the swingouts you will learn in the first few weeks. We will also focus on musicality and teach you a few fun swingout variations (time permitting).  COURSE PREREQUISITES: Swing I or equivalent. You should feel comfortable switching between 6-count and 8-count Lindy Hop\, have experience with some basic variations (e.g. yoyos\, Lindy circles)\, and feel confident about your musicality and connection. We will not expect you to know how to do a swingout yet – we will teach you to do one! WHEN: 7:30pm-8:30pm on Thursdays (11/2\, 11/9\, 11/16\, 11/30) WHERE: Mason Hall Room 1401\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor  INSTRUCTORS: Sarah Redman & Steve Losh  PRICING:General Admission 4-Week Pass: $40SAA Member 4-Week Pass: $30Individual Class: $12Acceptable forms of payment: cash\, check\, or PayPal REGISTRATION: Please register in advance by filling out this short form: https://tinyurl.com/SAANovProgressives\ UID:114110-21832358@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114110 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Mason Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231130T011135 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231130T210000 SUMMARY:Performance:Vadim Monastyrski\, piano DESCRIPTION:Vadim Monastyrski\, visiting professor of music with the Department of Piano\, performs a recital.

Clay drew inspiration from their personal “unfinished business” and literature from the 1960s counterculture in making the work. \n\nInspired by the photography of Justine Kurland titled “Girl Pictures”\, Claire Schick’s\, *Sisters I Never Had*\, depicts a cast rebelling\, playing\, and lavishing in each other's company within nature. Schick’s solo\, *The Ballad of Big Trees*\, is in honor of Henry Cowell State Redwood Park in Santa Cruz\, California\, which holds a special place in Claire’s family and life.\n\nThis concert will be performed Thursday\, November 30 through Saturday\, December 2\, 2023.
