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:110231-21824646@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.

You can sign up to receive Kelly's draft and RSVP for lunch here: https://forms.gle/LECbaJrEQJkivQsG8\n\nKelly will present her chapter\, \"Performative Typography and the Threat of Metaphorical Identity in the Poetry of Douglas Kearney.\" Abstract: Metaphors move\, or\, etymologically\, “carry over.” At the level of the poetic line\, the metaphor is the consummate change-maker. Metaphor is always staving off its dismissal as a mere decorative rhetorical figure\, but modern critics and philosophers have affirmed its force. Nietzsche argues that metaphors constitute our notion of “truth”\; Lakoff thinks of metaphor as a mechanism essential to language and conceptualizing the world\; and Sontag concludes it is a force that both intervenes in\, and is shaped by\, societal attitudes. Despite this\, recently metaphor has come under attack by poet Douglas Kearney as a figure that resists\, rather than inducing\, change. In his book of poetics Optic Subwoof (2022)\, Kearney argues the metaphorical relation promises false equivalency\, substituting one form of suffering for another. As such\, metaphors offer the reader a narcissistic reflection rather than a true encounter with difference. This article considers Kearney’s resistance to metaphor in the context of debates about the (im)potency of the aestheticization of suffering (Sontag) and humanistic empathy (Hartman) as engines for social change. It then turns to analyze Kearney’s own poems in light of his stated poetics. Does his visual poetry avoid the metaphor he is so suspicious of? If this poetry isn’t doing metaphor\, what is it doing? And why might his form of visual poetics\, or what Kearney calls “performative typography” be the structure he chooses as his intervention in today’s experimental poetic field?

A vast empirical literature has documented that\, in Global North contexts that afford greater choice and material abundance\, selves are more independent–prioritizing personal interests and autonomy in their preferences and behavior. However\, the social psychological literature suffers from glaring gaps in low resource Global South contexts where selves are likely higher in interdependence–prioritizing relationships\, roles and obligations in their preferences and behavior (Thomas & Markus\, 2023). An agenda on ‘culturally wise’ interventions seeks to fill this gap by experimentally comparing different culturally grounded approaches across diverse sociocultural contexts. Building on theoretical principles of wise interventions (Walton & Wilson\, 2018) and culture match (Stephens et al.\, 2012)\, culturally wise interventions are attuned to how culturally specific models of self\, motivation\, and relationality can exert powerful effects on meaning making and behavior. Through experimental evaluations of such intervention approaches in understudied contexts\, this research agenda seeks to advance a more comprehensive account of human behavior as well as strategies for promoting psychosocial and economic well-being around the globe. This talk will focus on how culturally wise approaches in sub-Saharan Africa can be leveraged to mitigate poverty and inequality. \n\nCatherine Thomas of the Research Center for Group Dynamics and the University of Michigan\, co-organizer of the Group Dynamics Fall 2023 Seminar Series with Shinobu Kitayama\, closes the series.\n\nGroup Dynamics Fall 2023 Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe\nDo our cultural contexts influence our psychology and behavior — and if so\, how? In this RCGD series\, we delve into the socio-ecological\, histo-cultural\, and economic dynamics shaping the diversity of selfhood and its associated cognitive\, emotional\, and motivational processes. We go beyond the traditional East and West focus to include a wide range of cultural groups. This series will elucidate the implications of psychological diversity across the globe for policies in international relations\, politics\, economics\, business\, immigration\, and other relevant domains.\n\n\nOrganized by Shinobu Kitayama and Catherine Thomas\nAs permissions allow\, seminars from this series are later posted to ISR's YouTube playlist.\n\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\nThe series runs Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\n\n\nAbout the Group Dynamics Seminar Series\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included discussions in “Law and Psychology\,” “Racism and Discrimination\,” “Social Media\,” and “Political Polarization.” The series is offered by the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)\, at the Institute for Social Research.

Mass Flight from and in Ukraine: A Game Changer in International Refugee and Migration History? DESCRIPTION:The mass flight from and in Ukraine indeed deserves to be labeled as a major \"refugee crisis” for Europe. The talk will take this case as a point of departure\, but then zoom back a century into the aftermath of World War I\, when refugees from Ukraine and Russia were formative for international refugee politics and international law. The lecture will then analyze who was accepted as a refugee over time and who was not\, and why Ukrainian refugees have been received surprisingly positively since the beginning of the second Russian-Ukrainian War.\n\nThe open door policy in Europe since February 2022 is based on the reaction to mass flights from the former Yugoslavia. The history of Croatia and Bosnia from 1991 to 1995 are also important points of reference to understand Ukraine's predicaments in its struggle against Russian neo-imperialism and fascism. Another recurring topic of the lecture will be the dialectic between humanitarian and utilitarian refugee politics and how they might be combined. The countries of origin are usually set aside once the mass flight has occurred and play only a minor role in migration history. This must change in the case of Ukraine\, where the return of refugees and other ways to strengthen human capital should be a major consideration.\n \nPhilipp Ther is Professor of Central European History at the University of Vienna\, where he also founded the Research Center for the History of Transformations (RECET).

Myotonic dystrophy (DM)\, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)\, and spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a few examples of repeat expansion diseases. RNA processing (pre-mRNA splicing) pathways are negatively impacted in these diseases with specific changes in pre-mRNA splicing proposed to lead to symptoms observed in affected individuals. Many of the projects in the lab combine biochemical\, molecular\, and genomic approaches with cellular and other model systems to understand the mechanisms through which these diseases alter pre-mRNA splicing. Through screening approaches\, small molecules have been identified that reduce the levels of the repeat expansion RNAs and rescue mis-splicing in DM and SCA cell and animal models.\n\nKeywords: Myotonic Dystrophy\, Spinocerebellar Ataxias\, Alternative Splicing and RNA Binding Proteins UID:109682-21822697@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/109682 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences LOCATION:Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building - Kahn Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231130T110545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231204T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231204T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Search Engines | \"Octavia Butler AI: Other Radical Possibilities of Technology\" DESCRIPTION:Please register in advance for the online Zoom Webinar here: \nhttps://myumi.ch/Z3Vqy\n\nPlease register for the physical meeting space at the University of Michigan’s Central Campus: \nhttps://myumi.ch/EPMmG\n\nTalk Abstract\n\n“Meanwhile blackness means to render unanswerable the question of how to govern the thing that loses and finds itself to be what it is not.” Harney & Moten\, The Undercommons\n\nMy argument in this project is to make AI more wild\, not less.

A History of 'Impairment' DESCRIPTION:“Impairment” is a key term in Anglophone disability studies and medical discourse\, referring to physical difference\, limitation\, or injury. When disability scholars and activists critique the definition of impairment\, they generally place the concept in the genealogy of medicalization and inappropriate pathologization. Yet as this talk will show\, the history of impairment is as bureaucratic and actuarial as it is medical. \n\nPopularized by the American life insurance industry in the early twentieth century\, \"impairment\" indicates rating as well as diagnosis—the attachment of value\, risk\, or financial loss to particular traits. Specifically\, impairment emerged as a form of information for corporate surveillance when life insurance companies joined with the Library Bureau in the 1890s to pool data on “impaired risks” among applicants. \n\nThis talk is drawn from a forthcoming article by Mara Mills and Dan Bouk\, written after years of speculation among the authors that our areas of expertise—the history of disability and technology (Mills) and the history of life insurance (Bouk)—have more than a passing affinity.\n\nBio: Mara Mills is Associate Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication at New York University and founding co-director of the NYU Center for Disability Studies. She is also a founding editorial board member of Catalyst: Feminism\, Theory\, Technoscience. She is recently co-editor of Testing Hearing: The Making of Modern Aurality (Oxford 2020)\, Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (NYU 2023)\, and a forthcoming special issue of Osiris on \"Disability and the History of Science\" (2024).

Yes\, some of their lyrics are sung in Hebrew. No\, it isn’t a gimmick or a parody. And\, no\, it’s not klezmer music. Now that we’ve got that straight\, let’s hear Nefesh Mountain for what it really is: a soulful\, euphoric\, folk-flavored outpouring of hope and joy\, propelled by the kind of crisp\, crystalline picking that gives lyrics wings. It’s a distinctively Nefesh Mountain sound. Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg have attracted high-powered musicians on their recordings\, including Sam Bush\, Jerry Douglas\, Tony Trischka\, and David Grier\, aided by Nefesh Mountain’s touring band members\, Alan Grubner on fiddle and Tim Kiah on bass. A dazzling picker in his own right\, Eric provides lead guitar and banjo throughout\, while Doni soars with some of the most melodic\, incisive and soul-stirring vocals we’ve heard since Mary Travers first took the spotlight. Come out and hear the band’s inspiring new version of the Allman Brothers’ “Revival”!\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4324/4325 for more detail.
