SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CREES Exhibition. Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya
DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n   \n   Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79). See more of her work here: https://www.diannebeal.com/curatorial.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkorian Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Informed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

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: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:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series Presents: Efforts to Reduce Nonresponse Error in Public Opinion Polling
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 29\, 2025 at 2:00-3:30 pm ET\n2:00-3:00 Seminar\n3:00-3:30 Questions and Collaboration\n\nRoom 1430BD\, ISR Thompson\n\nRSVP to attend\n\nAbstract\nDifferential nonresponse is a major threat to public opinion polls. In the past\, a person’s political outlook was not a particularly reliable predictor of whether they would participate in surveys. Now it is. Polling organizations are implementing numerous strategies to combat this challenge. This presentation covers the nonresponse challenge from the perspective of Pew Research Center\, a national nonpartisan polling organization. The talk will present data on the scope of the challenge in Pew polling\, which includes an address-based-recruited panel and an annual multimodal cross-sectional survey. It will also cover novel ways that Pew is trying to reduce nonresponse bias.\n\nBio\nCourtney Kennedy is Vice President of Methods and Innovation at Pew Research Center. She supervises the Center’s survey design and data science teams. Her research focuses on nonresponse\, weighting\, modes of administration and sampling frames. Kennedy has a doctorate from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree from the University of Maryland\, both in survey methodology. She received bachelor’s degrees from the University of Michigan in statistics and political science.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Bose-Einstein condensation of dipolar molecules
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, we have created the first BECs of dipolar molecules [1\,2]. We evaporatively cool a gas of sodium-cesium molecules to below 10 nanokelvin\, deep in the quantum degenerate regime. The BECs live for several seconds. This dramatic improvement over previous attempts to cool molecules is enabled by collisional shielding via microwave dressing\, suppressing inelastic losses by four orders of magnitude. We also observe that microwave dressing provides an exceptional level of tunability of dipole-dipole interactions\, enabling novel phases of matter in molecular quantum liquids. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss our experimental approach\, share latest insights\, and give an outlook on novel opportunities enabled by molecular BECs for many-body quantum physics\, quantum simulation\, and quantum computing. In addition\, I will give a brief overview of our broader efforts in quantum. These include recent advances on single atom trapping in metasurface optical tweezer arrays [3] and our collaborative efforts with Brookhaven National Lab to realize a quantum network in the greater New York area.\n\nReferences:\n[1] 	Bigagli\, Yuan\, Zhang\, et al.\, Observation of Bose-Einstein condensation of dipolar molecules\, Nature 631\, 289-293 (2024)\n[2] 	Bigagli\, et al.\, Collisionally stable gas of bosonic dipolar ground state molecules\, Nature Physics 19\, 1579-1584 (2023)\n[3]	Holman\, Xu\, et al.\, Trapping of single atoms in metasurface optical tweezer arrays\, arXiv:2411.05321 (2024) \n\nBio:\nSebastian Will is a professor of physics at Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Performance:Harry Manx
DESCRIPTION:“Manx’s real skill lays in creating a rare musical place where blues\, country\, folk and Indian classical music co-exist as some spirit force.” –Downbeat Magazine\n\nHarry Manx has been dubbed an “essential link” between the music of East and West\, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. His unique sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to.\n\nBorn on the Isle of Man\, Manx spent his childhood in Canada and left in his teens to live in Europe\, Japan\, India and Brazil. He honed his hypnotic live show on street corners\, in cafes\, bars and at festivals. But it was Indian music that captured his attention and in the mid 80s he began a five-year tutelage with Rajasthani Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy winner with Ry Cooder for A Meeting by the River). Receiving the gift of Bhatt’s custom-made\, self-designed Mohan Veena (a 20-stringed sitar/guitar hybrid) was the catalyst for Harry to forge a new path with his now signature east-meets-west style of music. \n\nPlaying the Mohan Veena\, lap steel\, harmonica\, stomp box\, and banjo\, Manx quickly envelops the audience into what has been dubbed “the Harry Zone” with his warm vocals and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of his original songs. It’s in the live setting\, Manx says\, that the bridge between “heavenly” India and “earthy” American blues is most effectively built. “Indian music moves inward\,” he explains. “It’s traditionally used in religious ceremonies and meditation\, because it puts you into this whole other place. But Western music has the ability to move out\, into celebration and dance. So when we play the Indian stuff on stage\, it has the tendency to draw people into something really deep\; they’ll get kind of quiet and spacey. Then we’ll play some more Western music\, and it grounds them once more\, they sort of come out of the mood the Indian music had put them in and get into the performance. I love to see that working — that effect on the audience. My goal has always been to draw the audience as deep as possible into the music.”\n\nBlend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues\, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you’ll get Manx’s unique “mysticssippi” flavour. It’s hard to resist\, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bandits on the Run
DESCRIPTION:“they zip from indie-pop to folk-soul with several stops in between.” –American Songwriter\n\nBandits on the Run are a musical trio comprised of Adrian Blake Enscoe\, Sydney Shepherd\, and Regina Strayhorn\, known for their distinct combination of cello\, guitar\, accordion\, and found-percussion with sophisticated three-part harmonies and rotating lead vocals. The Brooklyn-based outfit sprang from a chance encounter while busking in NYC's bustling subways and burst onto the national stage in 2019 when their song\, \"Love in the Underground\,\" was featured on the NPR Tiny Desk Contest's Top Shelf\, with the esteemed tastemakers at the station proclaiming\, \"the band orchestrates a symphony of sound and story through its impressive musicianship and marvelous harmonies.\" \n\nAfter recording their 2021 EP\, Now Is The Time\, with producer Ryan Hadlock (Brandi Carlile\, The Lumineers)\, the Bandits took to the screen\, devising a short musical film\, Band At The End Of The World\, commissioned by Prospect Musicals. Since then\, they have continued to explore the nexus of indie-folk music and theatrical storytelling\, composing music for the Netflix animated series\, Storybots\, scoring the movie\, The Same Storm\, adapting several songs from texts by William Shakespeare for a production of As You Like It\, and receiving an NEA grant for a new musical with Prospect Musicals\, all the while touring the globe with appearances at the Cambridge Folk Festival\, Floydfest\, Summerfest Milwaukee\, Americanafest\, F1 Singapore Grand Prix\, Mile of Music\, and the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival.\n\nBandits on the Run are currently working on the stage musical adaptation of the novel What's Eating Gilbert Grape in association with MCC Theater\, alongside actor-musician Christopher Sears and Academy Award Nominee Peter Hedges\, who wrote the original book and screenplay.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bassel & The Supernaturals
DESCRIPTION:“With a powerful message\, Bassel & The Supernaturals bring fans on a soulful journey that is brilliant in every way”  –Huffington Post\n\nBassel & The Supernaturals tells the story of Bassel Almadani's experience as a first generation Syrian-American using soulful melodies\, funk inspired rhythms\, and captivating lyrics regarding love\, loss\, otherness\, and the war in Syria. They made their national television debut in May 2024 as part of a new PBS docuseries starring Dule Hill entitled The Express Way\, regarding the transformative power of the arts.\n\nBassel & The Supernaturals evoke joy and thoughtfulness in diverse audiences throughout hundreds of cities across North America. In addition to performing in major festivals\, performance halls\, concert series\, and clubs\, the group works closely with organizations on events and residencies that build awareness and empathy for Syrian refugees and immigrants. Deeply inspired by Otis Redding\, Bassel uses the stage as a vehicle to unite his listeners and share the story of his cultural duality. A substantial portion of their proceeds benefit the Karam Foundation\, a non-profit organization focused on building a better future for Syria.\n\nThey continue to tour the country\, spreading a message of hope through their music wherever they travel.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gabe Lee // King Margo
DESCRIPTION:Fresh songwriting out of Nashville\n\nEqual parts classic songwriter and modern-day storyteller\, Gabe Lee has built his own bridge between country\, folk and rock. Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. Raised by Taiwanese parents in Nashville\, TN\, he left home during his teenage years and headed to Indiana\, where he obtained college degrees in literature and journalism. Lee launched his career as a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee\, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high-profile opening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell\, Los Lobos\, Molly Tuttle\, and other artists who\, like him\, blurred the lines between roots-rock\, country\, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all\, he drew upon the narrative skills he'd sharpened as a student. If albums like Honky-Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfolded like autobiographical entries from his road journal\, then Drink the River shows an even broader range of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn't just writing songs about himself\; he's writing songs about all of us. And maybe\, in doing so\, he can bring us a little closer together. \n\nKing Margo is a magnetic alt-country/Americana act based in Nashville\, TN. Their album “Waters Rise” is filled with what Saving Country Music proclaims as “interesting and curious textures throughout\, unique and unexpected approaches to songs\, and inspired songwriting graced by soaring performances.” The heart of the group is duo Lucciana Costa and Rachel Coats\, though they often bring their friends along for a full band experience. King Margo is a road-tested band through and through\, and they are known for putting on a high-energy show complimented by thoughtful songwriting.
