SUMMARY:Exhibition:Making it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project
DESCRIPTION:The Artist Pay Project is an anonymous journalistic series that examines how artists survive and thrive through anonymous money diaries. Developed by 2022-2023 Knight-Wallace and the Ford School's Center for Racial Justice Fellow Makeda Easter\, the series includes interviews with over 30 artists from various disciplines — including visual arts\, dance\, film\, and drag — to understand how much artists are paid for their work\, how work is priced\, and how artists feel about their overall financial security. Making it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project by Makeda Easter is a visually-immersive\, physical manifestation of this work\, advocating for both the value of art in our society and higher wages for working artists. \n\nMaking it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project is sponsored by the U-M Arts Initiative and Impact Studio.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit explores the characters of Mrs. Dalloway through the lens of WWI and its aftershocks. It looks at those who fought in the trenches and those who watched from afar.\n\n[The exhibit includes references to suicide and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder\, which might be distressing for some visitors. Viewer discretion is advised.]\n\nWhile all of the action in Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece takes place on a single day\, as preparations are made for Clarissa Dalloway’s evening party\, Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing takes us in the characters’ minds all the way from English drawing rooms to colonial India to the trenches of World War I.\n\nCheck today's Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours: https://myumi.ch/PkQ2x

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Kelly Church & Cherish Parrish: In Our Words\, An Intergenerational Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 13 – December 7\, 2024Opening Reception: September 19\, 2024\n\nKelly Church &amp\; Cherish Parrish: In Our Words\, An Intergenerational Dialogue is a major exhibition that centers the subjectivities of two contemporary Indigenous artists whose practices have sustained and bolstered the relevance of the age-old Anishinaabe practice of black ash basket-making in the 21st century. The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Performance: Your Name Is a Song
DESCRIPTION:This fall\, Department of Theatre & Drama assistant professor Shavonne Coleman and a troupe of SMTD theatre & drama students are touring her adaptation of the children’s book *Your Name Is a Song*\, originally written by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow\, to schools throughout the area. Audiences are invited to join Coleman and the company for a single public performance on North Campus. \n\n*Your Name Is a Song* tells the story of Kora-Jalimuso\, a young girl starting a new school. Her name becomes a source of contention on her first day\, as students and teachers – both well-meaning and otherwise – continually mispronounce it\, impacting her sense of belonging. By the end of the day\, her frustration and anger bubble over. Luckily\, her mother arrives just in time to pick her up and teach her a valuable lesson.\n\nOriginally commissioned by Seattle Children’s Theatre\, *Your Name Is a Song* is a collaboration featuring music by Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit and assistance from the New Harmony Project. \n\nPerfect for families\, *Your Name Is a Song* has a running time of about 45 minutes.

SUMMARY:Performance:Berliner Philharmoniker
DESCRIPTION:The Berliner Philharmoniker returns to Hill Auditorium the weekend before Thanksgiving for two concerts. The first of two concerts highlights Korngold’s heart-tugging violin concerto\, Rachmaninoff’s first orchestral masterpiece\, Isle of the Dead\, and Dvořák’s dramatic Symphony No. 7\, which the London journal Athenaeum declared at its 1885 premiere “not only entirely worthy of his reputation\, but one of the greatest works of its class produced in the present generation.”\n\nWorld-renowned violinist Hilary Hahn\, originally scheduled to perform\, will be unable to appear due to unforeseen health circumstances. UMS is delighted to present the exceptional violinist Benjamin Beilman as her replacement for this highly anticipated performance.\n\nIn an effort to mitigate traffic congestion following the U-M football game\, this performance will also now begin at 8:00 pm (previously slated to begin at 7:30 pm).\n\n\nPROGRAM\nSergei Rachmaninoff Isle of the Dead\, Op. 29\nErich Korngold Violin Concerto in D Major\, Op. 35\nAntonín Dvořák Symphony No. 7 in d minor\, Op. 70

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Vigilant Ground\" - Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Senior Concert
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Dance presents *Vigilant Ground*\, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance concert at the Performance Studio Theatre. Tickets are free and will be available at the door an hour before the start time. The concert features choreography and performance by graduating seniors Paige Ashley\, Anastasia Bredikhina\, Annie Laforet\, Madison Rogers\, & Mya Waple\, and lighting by Robert Farr-Jones. \n\nPaige Ashley’s *Tree Roots* is a combined solo and group work that explores our past selves through memories. Her solo work takes on the perspective of what it means to forget the past and the isolation that comes with this state of mind. In contrast\, Paige’s group dance brings with it a flood of memories from her childhood. Through moments of tenderness and love\, Anna Bodescu\, Alyssa Hernandez\, Stella Lansill\, Kennedy Marshall\, Megan Piagentini\, Claire Schick\, and Caitlyn Wade explore the idea that our present self is made up of every single past experience\, and to meet our present self is to also meet all of our past selves.\n\nInspired by the fast paced spycraft of the Mission Impossible movie franchise\, Anastasia Bredikhina’s *Rogue Nation* presents a high voltage ensemble work for six dancers. The cast\, Madeline Deck\, Emerson Forbes\, Bri Hicks\, Jessica Serres\, Brooke Shaw\, and Olivia Weber perform thrilling\, evasive physical maneuvers with a dynamism and stealth that promises to entertain and surprise. The dancers dodge and deflect obstacles while navigating intricate pathways around each other\, tapping into the renegade aspects of going rogue. In her solo work\, Escalate\, Anastasia explores self-discovery through the mindset of the mythological siren\, luring the audience towards her display of physical intensity. The idea of deceptive intentions plays out in captivating ways.\n\nAnnie Laforet’s group work\, *echoes of Him*\, explores the lasting effects of growing up catholic. The work breaks apart religious trauma and catholic guilt to find what lies underneath. Laforet and her dancers\, Cynthia Cao\, Leah Kropp\, Nathan Mannella\, Carly Perrino\, and Isabella Garber toe the line between heaven and hell to find what is right and wrong. Original projection art by Elle Schwinderson.. Laforet’s solo\, Mary’s World\, is a dance dedicated to Laforet’s mother\, Mary\, who overcame intense trauma after being hit by a car and left in a coma when she was just fifteen. Against all odds\, Mary woke up from the coma\, learned how to walk again\, and took her life into her own hands.\n\nMadison Rogers’ *Fight or Flight* touches on themes of survival and what it means to feel “safe” when confronted with environmental or psychological dangers. Dancers\, Eve Anderson\, Natalia Gomez\, Gabby Kiminyo\, Megan Piagentini\, Claire Schick\, Amelie Vidrio\, & Caitlyn Wade ask how we endure\, persist\, and outlast these challenges. In keeping the memories of her late father close\, Rogers’ solo explores the complicated way that fight-or-flight responses manifest in the body.  \n\nIn Mya Waple’s group\, *Channel Surfing*\, dancers indulge in a funky\, dream-like aesthetic that centers around a complex love story. Transitioning between live performance and film elements\, dancers Brooke Forrey\, Chloe Kim\, Curry Jackson\, Gabriella Walker\, Landrie Adams\, Madeline Deck\, Megan Piagentini\, Mallory McKenna\, Olivia Weber\, and Peyton Price\, will take the audience on a journey through time and space. Waple’s solo\, The Billboard Says…\, explores nostalgia and all its complexities. It captures the bittersweetness of reflecting on the past\, while simultaneously diving head first into what has yet to come.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jesus Christ Superstar
DESCRIPTION:Step into a bold new interpretation of Jesus Christ Superstar\, the electrifying rock opera that captures the final days of Jesus\, told through the eyes of Judas. Our production dives deep into the humanity of these iconic figures\, revealing how their relationships and decisions are shaped by the systems of power around them.\n\nIn an effort to create new opportunities and push boundaries\, many roles have been gender-bent\, allowing women and AFAB performers to shine in vocal parts that challenge and inspire\, while also offering a new lens on these characters. This approach breaks from tradition\, distancing the figures from their biblical origins and presenting them as complex\, relatable people.\n\nWe aren’t telling a biblical or historical tale here—this is Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s work of fiction\, and our production treats it that way. Any resemblance to real-life events or people is purely coincidental\, as every artistic decision was made to serve this story. Experience the rock opera that continues to challenge and inspire—like you've never seen before!

SUMMARY:Performance:John Proctor Is the Villain
DESCRIPTION:Written soon after the #MeToo movement entered the national conversation\, this momentous\, touching\, and laugh-out-loud funny play explores themes of trust\, betrayal\, and the abuse of power as experienced by a group of high school friends. Set in a small Georgia town where everybody knows everybody else’s business\, *John Proctor Is the Villain* focuses on the students in a high school literature class\, and particularly on a group of girls who have strong and sometimes complicated friendships with each other. As the students discuss Arthur Miller’s *The Crucible* with their beloved teacher Mr. Smith – and as they explore\, in an after-school club\, what feminism means to them – they begin to see echoes between this classic American play about the Salem witch trials and events unfolding in their world. As those events come to a shocking climax\, their assessment of the heroes and villains in *The Crucible*\, and in their own lives\, changes forever.\n\nWritten by Kimberly Belflower\nDirected by Halena Kays\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+

SUMMARY:Performance:Mr. B
DESCRIPTION:Born in Flint and a true Michigan institution\, Mr. B (Mark Braun) is a rare living link to the early days of boogie woogie\, having learned directly from legends like Little Brother Montgomery and Blind John Davis. He plays in concert halls\, he plays outdoors\, he’s even played on a piano he towed by swimming out to Mackinac Island\, but wherever you hear him\, it’s an exciting show. Each year Mr. B stops in at The Ark for a Thanksgiving weekend concert\, and it always brings something new. If you’re a regular at these November shows\, note that this year’s is the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
