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.

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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

Using a combination of materials that are historically perceived as precious John's work distorts\, disrupts\, and re-contextualizes perceptions of materials and their values. His work is at once \, colorful \, playful \, layered and deeply self-reflective in its personal narrative.

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.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

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.

Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

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:84303-21621530@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:20250123T102240 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250227T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250227T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Inclusive Teaching When You Have Strong Opinions DESCRIPTION:Do you have strongly held beliefs?

In this talk\, I will discuss how quantum simulation has deepened our understanding of quantum many-body chaos\, thermalization\, and their breakdown\, with a focus on ergodicity breaking due to quantum many-body scar states. I will then discuss a recently proposed nonequilibrium quantum phase—strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking—uncovered through quantum simulations of open quantum systems. Finally\, driven by the potential applications of weak ergodicity breaking and quantum simulators in quantum metrology\, I will highlight our recent efforts to combat the noise in quantum metrology.\n\nBio:\nDr. Cheng-Ju Lin is an RQS (Robust Quantum Simulation) postdoctoral fellow at the University of Maryland. He received his Ph.D. in physics from Caltech and was a postdoctoral researcher at the Perimeter Institute before his current position. His research lies at the intersection of quantum information and condensed matter physics\, focusing on quantum simulations of nonequilibrium dynamics—including quantum ergodicity\, its breakdown\, and nonequilibrium quantum phases—as well as their applications in quantum technology.

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).

Prior to UC San Diego\, he was an ELBE Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD). With research at the intersection of soft matter and biophysics\, Tzer Han is interested in understanding how nonequilibrium forces lead to spatiotemporal organization in living matter\, and in turn\, how biological regulation harness this self-organizing capacity to make functional forms.\n\nAbstract\nNonreciprocity in biological and synthetic active matter gives rise to distinctive material properties\, such as odd material moduli\, sustained wave propagation\, and transverse responses. In this talk\, I will first highlight the odd elastodynamics that emerge in a living chiral crystals composed of thousands of spinning starfish embryos. Combining experiments\, theory and simulations\, we demonstrate that the formation\, dynamics and dissolution of these living crystals are controlled by the hydrodynamic properties and the natural development of embryos. Remarkably\, living chiral crystals exhibit self-sustained chiral oscillations as well as unconventional deformation response behaviors recently predicted for odd elastic materials. Building on these insights\, we developed a bioinspired robotic swarm with programmable nonreciprocal interactions. Our experiments demonstrate that tuning the interaction strength can transition the system from a solid-like state with odd vibrational modes to a fluid-like regime with edge states. Strikingly\, robot pairs exhibit emergent oscillatory dynamics and phase synchronization\, both essential to drive odd wave propagation in many-body collectives. Together\, these findings illustrate how nonreciprocity in living and robotic matter can enable nonequilibrium phases of chiral active matter with non-classical emergent properties.

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.

For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!

He works at the intersection of stochastic analysis\, machine learning and quantitative finance. His primary research areas are continuous-time stochastic processes and probabilistic ranking models. Tang’s current research interest is to improve the efficiency of machine learning algorithms using stochastic tools\, and to develop robust AI methodology for the emerging fintech market. Examples include diffusion generative modeling\, analysis and design of blockchain mechanisms\, and the curse of dimensionality in large interacting particle systems.\n\n Abstract: Recently\, there has been growing interest in guiding\, or fine tuning pretrained diffusion models or LLMs for specific purposes\, e.g.\, aesthetic quality of images\, functional property of proteins\, and downstream tasks in finance and operations management. In this talk\, I will discuss several (principled) approaches\, encompassing conditional guidance\, regularization and reinforcement learning. Some applications will also be presented. The talk is based on a series of joint work with my students Haoxian Chen and Hanyang Zhao\, as well as my colleagues David Yao\, Henry Lam.

I will discuss two avenues where our understanding of photochemical hazes and condensation clouds has advanced for exoplanetary atmospheres. Both kinds of aerosols fundamentally shape the atmospheric chemistry of a variety of exoplanets\, with subsequent impacts on observations from a variety of facilities\, including JWST. First\, I will present results on the properties of photochemical haze particles produced from laboratory studies and the ways we may begin untangling these properties with JWST’s instrumentation for the most promising planetary targets. Second\, I will focus on updates to our understanding of exoplanet clouds. Clouds made of silicate materials are thought to be the dominant cloud species that affects our interpretations of hot Jupiters\, but the underlying laboratory data typically used for such interpretation does not fully capture the complexity of these materials. I will discuss my recent efforts to properly account for this complexity by considering mineral polymorphs and non-spherical cloud particle models. Properly accounting for the full chemical and physical complexity of both condensate and photochemical aerosol particles in exoplanet atmospheres will let us use them as atmospheric tracers of planetary conditions.

The log canonical threshold (lct) of the pair (X\,Y) is a positive rational number which measures the singularities of Y\, and the study of this quantity is an important topic in birational geometry with connections to the minimal model program. In positive characteristic\, one instead typically studies the F-pure threshold (fpt) of a pair. When R is a F-finite ring and I an ideal of R\, the quantity fpt(R\,I) measures how far the ring R/I is from being strongly F-regular.\n\nIn 2014\, Demailly and Phan defined an invariant of a pair (R\, I) in terms of certain mixed multiplicities of the ideal I and showed that this invariant is a lower bound on the log canonical threshold. In the case of a pair (R\, I)\, where R is a polynomial ring and I is an ideal generated by a homogeneous regular sequence\, we classify exactly when the log canonical threshold is equal to Demailly and Phan's invariant.

In 2017\, just months after Donald Trump took office\, Eminem appeared in a BET “Cypher\,” a freestyle rap session where emcees show off their skills\, and used the entirety of his allotted time to accuse President Trump of being a cowardly racist who represented an immediate threat to the American people. Less than three months ago\, Eminem took the stage again\, this time at a Detroit rally in support of Kamala Harris. He once again called out Trump as a threat to the country and introduced former president Barack Obama\, who began his speech by rapping lyrics from one of Eminem’s most famous songs\, “Lose Yourself.” Despite Eminem’s stated support for Democratic candidates and his rejection of Trump\, the white rapper also has been claimed by Republican politicians including Marco Rubio and Vivek Ramaswamy. In fact\, early in his career\, Eminem branded himself as a politically incorrect provocateur who\, as the title to one of his first songs put it\, “Just Don’t Give a Fuck.” By emphasizing contradictions in whiteness\, particularly with respect to class\, Eminem’s early commercial recordings\, along with his semi-autobiographical 2002 film *8 Mile*\, cast him as an angry underdog. Thus\, despite his recent efforts to position himself firmly in opposition to Donald Trump\, much of Eminem’s early work aligns well with the cultural logic of conservative grievance politics. This lecture explores these contradictions and examines how Eminem can be claimed by politicians on both sides of the aisle. Why was Eminem’s music and legacy open to being adopted by both Democrats and Republicans during the 2024 presidential campaign? How do Barack Obama and Vivek Ramaswamy\, both of whom chose to rap the opening lines of “Lose Yourself” at different campaign events\, draw on hip hop history to bolster their respective positions? What does Eminem’s relevance twenty-five years after his mainstream debut tell us about hip hop’s political evolution? And\, finally\, what can hip hop teach us about recent trends in electoral politics that have seen more people of color\, especially young men\, identifying with the GOP?\n\nGUEST SPEAKER BIO\n\nLOREN KAJIKAWA is Associate Professor and Chair of the music program at the George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts & Design.

DESCRIPTION:Seating is Limited. Please register in advance to attend. \n\nIn the inaugural year of the MIDAS Data and AI in Society Lecture Series\, the general public is welcome and encouraged to attend. No prior experience with AI is required.\n\nGenerative artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGPT can have conversations that seem eerily human. But\, could they ever be conscious? Just as importantly\, why does it matter? Even as AI experts\, neuroscientists\, and philosophers debate these questions\, AI innovation keeps marching on. In this talk\, Toyama discusses some of these issues as they pertain to moral personhood\, the question of if and when machines should be treated with moral considerations similar to those given to people: Should there be concern about harming AI systems? When should an AI system be held responsible for its actions? What does it mean to hold a machine responsible? As with so much about consciousness and morality\, consensus is elusive\, but the Toyama also presents his own opinions and arguments for how he believes these questions should be decided.

Major changes that took place included the restructuring of synagogue architecture with the removal of the women’s gallery\, the redefinition of community through women’s volunteerism\, and the introduction of women's religious leadership\, which also challenged conventional theology. Historically and today\, American Judaism -- in dialogue with American society and other models of religious practice -- has constantly evolved and transformed in an effort to match the ever-moving target of gendered expectations for religious behavior and practice.
