SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

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.

The exhibit opens May 30th and runs through September 14th. \n\nThe pieces span nearly 30 years\, many of them having been featured in our Annual Exhibition.\n\n\"Through drawings\, paintings\, and sculptures made with simple materials\, artists expose the harsh realities of incarceration while imagining life beyond prison. These works reveal a longing for home and family\, joy and beauty\, connections to nature\, flights of the imagination\, and journeys toward freedom—acts of creation made despite and in direct response to carceral conditions.\"

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

At a time when the world is deeply divided\, when diverse perspectives and experiences are being weaponized by fear\, Nickleson’s paintings meticulously build another world - one mark\, one brush stroke at a time. Layering colors and mark-making that draw on prehistoric forms and symbols\, Nickleson seeks a new futurity that acknowledges the losses\, and co-existence that build on our differences and commonalities. Sara has been consistently building her visual vocabulary and we are excited to see where she will go next.” \nEnvision: The 2025 Michigan Artist Initiative is curated by Srimoyee Mitra with the assistance of Joe Rohrer.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Combinatorics of Quiver Mutations
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nA cluster algebra is a ring defined by combinatorial data: a quiver (directed graph) viewed up to mutation equivalence. Mutations are a particular kind of quiver transformation. A central open question in cluster combinatorics is that of detecting whether two given quivers are mutation equivalent. We approach this problem from two directions. First\, we construct new arbitrarily long mutation cycles\, i.e.\, sequences of mutations transforming a quiver into itself. These cycles give a barrier to greedy algorithms for deciding mutation equivalence. We show that a plethora of such cycles can be constructed using quivers that possess reddening sequences. Second\, we introduce new mutation invariants that yield necessary conditions for mutation equivalence. In many cases\, these invariants provide a quick way to establish that two quivers are mutation inequivalent\, or that a given quiver cannot be mutated into an acylic one.\n\nThis event will be hybrid format. The in-person presentation will be in West Hall 210.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frontiers in Scientific Machine Learning Seminar 17: SALSA-RL: Stability Analysis in the Latent Space of Actions for Reinforcement Learning
DESCRIPTION:Date: July 11\, 2025\, 12 pm - 1 pm\nThis is a hybrid event. To join via Zoom: Meeting ID: 978 2352 7756\, Passcode: Enter last year in format YYYY\n\nTo join in person: 2004 Lay Auto Lab. Refreshments will be available!\n\nAbstract: Modern deep reinforcement learning (DRL) methods have made significant advances in handling continuous action spaces. However\, real-world control systems--especially those requiring precise and reliable performance--often demand interpretability in the sense of a-priori assessments of agent behavior to identify safe or failure-prone interactions with environments. To address this limitation\, we propose SALSA-RL (Stability Analysis in the Latent Space of Actions)\, a novel RL framework that models control actions as dynamic\, time-dependent variables evolving within a latent space. By employing a pre-trained encoder-decoder and a state-dependent linear system\, our approach enables interpretability through local stability analysis\, where instantaneous growth in action-norms can be predicted before their execution. We demonstrate that SALSA-RL can be deployed in a non-invasive manner for assessing the local stability of actions from pretrained RL agents without compromising on performance across diverse benchmark environments. By enabling a more interpretable analysis of action generation\, SALSA-RL provides a powerful tool for advancing the design\, analysis\, and theoretical understanding of RL systems.\n\nBio: Romit Maulik is an Assistant Professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State).

SUMMARY:Performance:Chatham Rabbits
DESCRIPTION:New Music!\n\nThere is something warm and instantly familiar about the beloved roots duo Chatham Rabbits. Partners in music and life\, Chatham Rabbits’ Austin and Sarah McCombie blend their personal histories through deft songwriting and a history that comes from building a life together. Leaning into each other's strengths\, their songs present a congenial\, collaborative spirit that has captured the pure adoration of fans along the way and earned them praise from Garden & Gun Magazine\, American Songwriter\, and No Depression.\nTheir artistry hinges on a fervent desire to connect with others through the music that first brought the pair together. Steeped in the regional traditions of their North Carolina home\, Chatham Rabbits’ musical pursuits represent a new age of roots music.\n\nThe duo recorded and released their beloved debut album\, \"All I Want From You in 2019\,\" and this set the standard for their sophomore release\, \"The Yoke is Easy\, The Burden is Full\,\" the centerpiece song from which\, “Oxen\,” was named “Top Folk Song of 2020” by Paste Magazine.\n\nNurtured by central North Carolina’s fertile\, influential music scene\, Chatham Rabbits’ sound continued to evolve on their expansive third album\, \"If You See Me Riding By\" (2022)\, which was simultaneously released with a television series\, \"On the Road with Chatham Rabbits\,\" on PBS-NC. The McCombies' ingenuity during the Covid-19 crisis led to the creation of their mobile concert experience\, \"The Stay at Home Tour\,\" which took the duo to 194 neighborhoods in 2020-21. The pair comes to The Ark with their latest album\, “Be Real With Me.”
