It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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  UID:84303-21621500@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241107T172312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wonders of Water Community Art Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Nov 29 2024 - Sun\, Jan 26 2025\, All day\nDive into the beauty and significance of North America's rivers with The Wonders of Water\, a community art exhibit that pays homage to the vital roles rivers play in our environment and society.

The film centers a seemingly impossible dialogue between Arno Michaelis\, a former Neo-Nazi gang founder and Pardeep Kaleka\, son of the Sikh Temple President\, Satwant Singh Kaleka\, one of seven people killed in the shooting attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) by a white supremacist in 2012. \n \nThe film installation explores what happens when – for over a decade – Pardeep and Arno committed to a path of restorative communication - to listen deeply and connect with what motivates each other in the genesis and aftermath of atrocity.\nHow does healing begin? From the toxic polarization\, division and extreme racist violence that resulted in one of the worst mass shootings at a religious site in American history\, Pardeep insists that complete healing must eventually be a collective process for all\, to liberate both sides.\nAt Stamps Gallery\, Impossible Conversations will be accompanied by a dialogue and research room as well as photomurals that expand on the themes of restorative justice\, gun violence\, and how to sustain difficult dialogues to combat extremism and toxic polarization. \nExhibition curated by Srimoyee Mitra. Impossible Conversations has been supported in part by the Arts Research: Incubation &\; Acceleration (ARIA) program of The University of Michigan Office of the Vice President Research and the Arts Initiative\, Institute of Firearm Prevention Pilot Grant\, the Stamps School of Art and Design\, and the University of the Arts London. \nExhibition Programs\nAn Opening Screening\, Talkback\, and Reception will take place on Friday\, January 17\, 2025 from 5:30 – 8 p.m.\, and a Symposium will take place on Saturday\, January 18\, 2025 from 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. \nAbout the Artists\nPratāp Rughani is a writer and non-fiction filmmaker. His work develops documentary practice to enable people of radically different perspectives come into relation\, sometimes in the aftermath of violence and atrocity for example in South Africa\, Aboriginal Australia\, Europe\, Rwanda and the USA. Configuring a pro-filmic space to enable shared “witnessing” and the path towards restorative justice is a driving force in “Impossible Conversations” evolving through his practice in over thirty documentary films and exhibitions for BBC TV\, Channel 4\, Modern Art Oxford\, galleries and activist groups. The ethics of giving sustained attention to the experiences of marginalized\, excluded or sometimes reviled “others” and bringing them in relationship to the broader culture is central to his research into ethics of storytelling and the development of “Restorative Narrative.”\nRughani writes widely on the ethics of creative practice\, serves on several editorial Boards\, has won awards for film\, teaching\, and research\, and is Professor of Documentary Practices at the University of the Arts\, London.\nDavid Chung is an acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker. His work focuses on how identities are shaped in immigrant communities and the challenges of refugees as they integrate into new homelands.\nChung has exhibited his drawings\, prints\, and video installations at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Asia Society\, the Walker Arts Center\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Gwangju Biennale\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Chung has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the National Board Film Board of Canada's Award for Best Documentary Film. He was the 2013 Kim Koo Visiting Professor at Harvard University. \nChung is a professor and the director of the MFA Graduate Program at the University of Michigan Penny W.

In September 2023\, four undergraduates united with a simple mission: to create a space for showcasing exciting new art work. They established a foundation and worked to build a buzz through outreach and excitement. The Stampede first hosted a pop-up exhibition (party) at a friend's house\, exhibiting 53 pieces of original work\, with food\, drink\, and music\, and a smashing turnout from the local community. They have since evolved\, developed an infrastructure\, and grown into a platform for dynamic art work.\nToday\, The Stampede curates and facilitates exhibitions and events that bring together artists\, writers\, and musicians. From pop-ups and art markets to concerts and gallery shows\, they provide a vibrant platform for creativity for the community. The organization has broken new ground on multiple accounts to pave new ways for artists today and tomorrow\; bridging the divide between student and school. Functioning as an artist collective\, The Stampede focus on creating large-scale artworks\, promotional materials\, and merchandise for their events.\nThis exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of The Stampede: its origins\, current endeavors\, and future aspirations. Since its inception\, The Stampede has continuously surprised with its growth and transformation. Committed to providing opportunities for artists\, they will keep hosting events for their community and friends.\nJoin The Stampede in their journey\; they invite you to... RUN WITH US!

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).

Yet\, from these ingredients\, robust life emerges. Understanding this paradox demands new mathematics that bridges mechanistic models that capture molecular-scale stochasticity with statistical approaches for extracting patterns from large-scale\, noisy\, heterogeneous data. This talk presents a case study in bridging these gaps to infer gene expression dynamics from static spatial patterns of mRNA molecules in cells. The approach links spatial point processes for individual molecule locations with tractable solutions to stochastic partial differential equations. This framework combines the strengths of mechanistic insight with the power of modern data science\, enabling discoveries from challenging biological datasets while raising mathematical questions about inference in stochastic systems. I will conclude with future directions in connecting spatial stochastic dynamics with biological data more broadly.

The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. \n\nRegister for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/8rRqG.\n \nBuilding on his book *The Time of Laughter: Comedy and the Media Cultures of Japan*\, Professor Humphrey examines how comedy and laughter’s timing have shaped media temporality in Japan from the television era to the present. He demonstrates that\, despite fundamental changes in media over the past half-century\, comedy and its laughter have been indelible forces in informing beliefs and debates on media in Japan. Unifying while sowing discord\, drawing in viewers while simultaneously alienating them\, comedy and laughter speak to the inner contradictions of media.\n \n David Humphrey is an associate professor of Japanese and global studies at Michigan State University\, where he also serves as director of the Japanese Studies Program. Additionally\, he is an affiliate of the Center for Japanese Studies at U-M. He is the author of *The Time of Laughter: Comedy and the Media Cultures of Japan* (U-M Press\, 2023) and has published numerous articles in journals\, including *the Journal of Japanese Studies\, Media\, Culture & Society\, and AsiaScape*. Currently\, he is working on a second book that examines AI and discourses of media attention in Japan.\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Despite its promising applications\, our comprehension of the in-vivo neural mechanisms underlying this novel neuromodulation technology remains in its early stages. Our research endeavors in the lab aim to bridge this knowledge gap\, extending from rodent to nonhuman primate models and humans. In my presentation\, I will introduce some pivotal contributions made by our lab towards understanding the changes of in-vivo neuronal responses\, inter-neuronal correlations\, and brain network modulations elicited by tFUS stimulation. I will showcase our intracranial electrophysiological recordings from rodent and monkey models\, revealing nuanced brain responses to specific stimulation parameters. Furthermore\, we have translated tFUS devices and methodologies for the noninvasive modulation of human motor\, somatosensory\, and visual systems\, measured through electroencephalography (EEG)-based source imaging with improved spatial specificity. Beyond influencing specific brain functions\, I will also present our ongoing investigations into tFUS applications for modulating pain-related behaviors in a humanized sickle cell mouse model and for improving visual-motion responses and human cognitive attention in a brain-computer interface among a group of healthy human participants. These studies not only underscore the versatility of tFUS in neuromodulation but also highlight its therapeutic potential across domains of neurological function and behavior.\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486 UID:131264-21868048@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131264 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1130 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250122T183148 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Organisational meeting DESCRIPTION:.

While numerous quantum algorithms have been proposed to tackle this problem\, they often demand substantial quantum resources\, making them impractical for early fault-tolerant quantum computers. The talk will begin with a quantum oracle that transforms the quantum eigenvalue estimation problem into a classical signal processing problem. I will then introduce a simple classical subroutine for solving this problem\, which surprisingly achieves state-of-the-art complexity results. Additionally\, I will review the performance of traditional classical algorithms for this problem and share new insights gained from our study.

The identification and quantification of these reactive species within complex reactive mixtures are crucial for developing a fundamental\, chemically accurate description of complex atmospheric and combustion systems. Criegee intermediates (CIs)\, carbonyl oxide reactive intermediates formed during the ozonolysis of unsaturated organic compounds\, possess the unique ability to add both carbon and oxygen mass to the co-reactant through either 1\,3-dipolar cycloaddition or insertion mechanisms. These mechanisms can lead to the production of high-molecular-weight\, low-volatility products\, which have been associated with the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) in just a few reaction steps. Their unimolecular decomposition is recognized as a significant source of OH in the atmosphere.\nThe reaction networks of C1 to C7 CIs formed in the ozone-assisted oxidation reaction of a series of C3 to C7 acyclic and endocyclic alkenes were investigated in an atmospheric pressure jet-stirred reactor to elucidate the influence of CIs carbon number and reactive environment on the distribution of products and the formation of high-molecular-weight\, low-volatility compounds. Molecular beam high-resolution mass spectrometry\, tunable synchrotron single-photon ionization\, and ab initio threshold energy calculations were employed for the detection and identification of gas-phase reactive intermediates and final products. Temperature-dependent analysis employing DART ionization-Orbitrap mass spectrometry was utilized to facilitate the detection of high-molecular-weight\, low-volatility reaction products.\nThe ozone-assisted oxidation of acyclic C3 to C7 alkenes was observed to lead to complex CIs reaction networks that encompass both unimolecular and bimolecular reactions. For instance\, formaldehyde oxide CIs were predominantly observed in the ozone-assisted oxidation of 1-propene and 1-butene\, resulting in the formation of products corresponding to sequential CIs additions to co-products such as water\, alkenes\, aldehydes\, alcohols\, and carboxylic acids. However\, oligomerization did not appear to be favored by increasing the CIs carbon number. Notably\, no evidence for the formation of bimolecular products was observed in the case of long-chain CIs formed in the ozone-assisted oxidation of endocyclic alkenes\, specifically C5 to C7 alkenes. Instead\, long-chain CIs were observed to undergo unimolecular decomposition followed by autooxidation.\nThe outcomes of our research represent a significant advancement in understanding the CIs reactive behavior in complex reactive environments where multiple co-reactants are present. This information provides valuable insights for future kinetic modeling endeavors that can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the role and reactivity of CIs in the gas-phase to heterogeneous environments.

Randomly arranged books\, each containing exactly 410 pages\, fill the Library of Babel’s infinite expanse of interlocking hexagonal rooms\, encompassing all knowledge that currently exists or may exist in the future while paradoxically offering no true enlightenment. Shaw and Kahane invite audiences to contemplate the joy\, grief\, wonder\, and bewilderment that spring from a life oversaturated in information.\n\nPROGRAM\nCaroline Shaw and Gabriel Kahane The Library of Babel (UMS Co-Commission)\nAdditional works to be announced UID:121966-21847858@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121966 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:American Culture,Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,concert,Culture,Energy,Folk Music,In Person,Literary,Mindfulness,music,performance,piano,Social,Storytelling,UMS,university musical society,Voice,Well-being LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Rackham Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250123T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T210000 SUMMARY:Other:Revive DESCRIPTION:Come and discover hidden gems in the Bible!  Every Thursday night\, 7:30-9:00PM\, we will have Revive at 2210 ABC in the Michigan Union.  Our usual agenda for this event includes singing\, hearing a spoken message\, and having breakout discussion.  This is a great opportunity to meet others who love the Lord Jesus and to learn more about His Word!  See you there!! 🙂\"Your word is a lamp to my feet / And a light to my path.\" (Psalm 119:105) UID:130344-21865785@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130344 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Michigan Union, 2210 ABC (Second Floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250123T180022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T213000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Let's Discuss: Gun Control! - Roundtable Weekly Meeting DESCRIPTION:Roundtable is a nonpartisan club that helps students develop their political views through research\, reflection\, and discussion.
