SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way. Demonstrations are free and appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above. Schedule subject to change.\n\nExplore the unseen lives of owls in this hands-on demonstration. Together\, we will use museum specimens to learn about some of owls’ unique adaptations\, like big eyes\, specialized ears\, quiet wings\, and sharp claws. What do these adaptations tell us about how owls eat? How are these modern raptors related to dinosaurs? Find out what an owl pellet is (Hint: it's not poop!) and dissect a real owl pellet to learn about the owl's diet. Come and discover the role of these birds of prey in the food chain!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield\, South Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Confront the past and celebrate the creative voices of an untold chapter of American history.\n \nHear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield\, South Carolina is a landmark exhibition of more than 60 objects representing the work of African American potters in the decades surrounding the Civil War. \n \nIt 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—and about the joy\, struggle\, creative ambition\, and lived experience of African Americans in the 19th-century American South.\n \nThe exhibition features many objects rarely seen outside of the South\, bringing together monumental storage jars by the enslaved and literate potter and poet Dave\, later recorded as David Drake (about 1800–about 1870)\, along with rare examples of the region’s utilitarian wares and powerful face vessels by potters once known but unrecorded. \n \nThe inclusion of several contemporary works from leading Black artists links the past to the present in Hear Me Now. Established figures like Theaster Gates and Simone Leigh\, as well as younger\, emerging artists like Adebunmi Gbadebo\, and Woody De Othello have contributed to the exhibition. Working primarily in clay\, these artists respond to the legacy of the Edgefield potters and consider the resonance of this history for audiences today.\n \nCurated by Jason Young\, Professor of History\, University of Michigan\; Adrienne Spinozzi\, Associate Curator\, American Wing\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art\; and Ethan Lasser\, John Moors Cabot Chair\, Art of the Americas\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\n\nhellow\n\nhellow\n\nHear Me Now is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, with support from the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Henry Luce Foundation.\n\nLead support for UMMA's presentation of the exhibition is provided by Michigan Engineering\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the Americana Foundation\, the U-M College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, the U-M Inclusive History Project\, and Michigan Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by Larry and Brenda Thompson and Melissa Kaish and Jonathan Dorfman. \n\n \n
