At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

The SEC aims to create new and exciting opportunities for undergrads to develop their skills in exhibition-making and installations. \nExhibition Statement\nIn the midst of contemporary chaos there is a quieter\, more isolated struggle to find meaning. As we pursue consistency within our own art making practices\, we must nurture our yearnings for a sustainable community. Fleeting connections can be found in the in-betweens of time and space—cooking with others\, commuting\, etc.\nThe Eye of the Storm is an exhibition demonstrating various forms of individual and collective peacemaking and resistance. This show explores the ways we use creative rituals within the private and public spheres: exploring self identity\, advocating for justice\, fostering care for others and social bonding. The selected artworks reflect each artist's way of staying in motion and/or finding calm amidst complicated or difficult times. \nThis exhibition is organized and juried by SEC student curators Hana Ichikawa\, BFA '26 (lead)\; Urvi Joshi\, BA '26\; Elsie Rogers\, BFA '27\; Jacqueline Vinson\, BFA '27\; and Maggie Watson\, BFA '26. \nThe Eye of the Storm will be on display in the Stamps Gallery atrium from October 17 - November 1\, 2025\, and features work by the following Stamps students:\nSage Booth\, BFA '28Rachel DeVeyra\, BFA '26McKenna Finn\, BA '26Reese Ford\, BFA '26Abigail Garcia\, BFA '27Erin Malone\, BFA '27Summer Mansi\, BFA '27Margaret (Mags) McKinney\, BFA '28Ava Muntner\, BFA '27Mia Noel\, BFA '28Eliana Pettigrew\, BFA '26Oliver Lee St Cyr\, BFA '26Jesse Strohauer\, BFA '28 UID:137209-21879957@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137209 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251003T181516 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251030T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251030T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Untold Stories\, Part II: A Stamps Faculty Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 12 - December 13Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30-8:30 p.m.\nUntold Stories: Part II is the second in a series of three exhibitions featuring the work of faculty members from the Stamps School of Art &\; Design.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886779@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250826T101138 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251030T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251030T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Finding Refined Friends: The Magazine *Gayū* (1951–70) and Sinitic Poetry in Postwar Japan DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 555\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom.

Removing Phragmites has been a decades-long management goal as managers seek to restore native high marsh habitat and ecosystem functions and services. Phragmites removal and restoration efforts have proven beneficial for habitat and biodiversity – however\, its removal comes with uncertainties about the tradeoffs of removal and the implications for achieving marsh restoration goals. One potential approach for managing tradeoffs associated with Phragmites removal is to use prescribed fire\, which is a common method for vegetation removal. The burned biomass\, or “biochar\,” produced through this process may increase soil nitrogen removal and carbon and phosphorus storage\, which can help to counteract losses in ecosystem services due to Phragmites removal.\n\nIn collaboration with regional coastal managers\, this project compared salt marshes with and without a history of prescribed burns at Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve and area marshes to better quantify how fire impacts marshes and their biogeochemical ecosystem services. Recognizing that each manager prioritizes marsh ecosystem services differently\, the project assessed how prescribed burns influence a range of recreational\, physical\, biological\, and biogeochemical ecosystem services. A collaborative workshop brought together representatives from industry\, state\, federal\, non-profit\, and academic sectors for further conversation and to identify challenges and opportunities for effective Phragmites management. In this webinar\, the project team will share: 1) an overview of their technical work to establish some of the biogeochemical impacts of prescribed burns in salt marsh ecosystems\; 2) the results of their literature review assessing how prescribed burns to remove Phragmites impact a suite of salt marsh ecosystem services\; and 3) the outcomes of the collaborative Phragmites management workshop.

For much of the global population\, medical and their analytical tools remain far less advanced than the technologies used in daily life. To bridge this gap between everyday devices and medical innovation\, my research centers on three major themes: First\, I will present the development of a low-cost\, point-of-care automated diagnostic platform that enables multiplexed biochemical testing with an order-of-magnitude reduction in cost compared to currently available commercial platforms. Second\, I will discuss machine learning-enhanced biosensing for cancer diagnostics\, where our recent work demonstrates thousand-fold precision improvements through full-spectrum and multi-resonance modeling compared to conventional one-dimensional fittings. Finally\, I will introduce hybrid dynamic optogenetic–electrophysiology neural interfaces\, combining metasurface-based beam steering with minimally invasive carbon-fiber arrays for adaptive and chronic closed-loop neuromodulation.

We have received notice that Rawad El Kontar will not be able to travel for the 10/30 seminar due to the government shutdown. We intend to reschedule Rawad’s seminar for a later date. Thank you for your understanding!\n\nHosted by Raed Al Kontar \n\nAbstract:\nUrban energy systems are growing in complexity as they respond to the challenges of planning location-specific energy transitions. However\, current modeling approaches often fail to capture the physical\, behavioral\, and systemic diversity required for effective localized planning and decision-making.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present integrated frameworks that combine bottom-up physics-based modeling with AI-driven analytics for characterizing urban energy systems. I will first show how the URBANopt platform has developed capabilities that enable coordinated analysis and co-design across buildings\, DERs\, and the grid. I will then discuss an AI-driven framework that automates input generation and supports dynamic scenario exploration.\n\nThese capabilities transform urban energy system planning by reducing the labor required for model generation\, scaling scenario exploration\, and improving accuracy for localized analysis. Together\, they form a scalable and adaptable framework that provides stakeholders with actionable insights for planning reliable and efficient energy transitions.\n\nBiography:\nDr. Rawad El Kontar is a Senior Research Engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). He is the lead developer of URBANopt\, DOE’s open-source urban energy modeling platform\, and the creator of the Urban Systems Generator\, an AI-driven framework that automates building-level data completion and scenario generation for city-scale energy modeling. With a multidisciplinary background spanning architecture\, building science\, and data science\, Rawad develops analytics and software platforms that integrate machine learning\, AI\, and energy simulation to accelerate the co-design and optimization of buildings\, distributed energy resources (DERs)\, and grid systems. His work supports stakeholders in advancing reliable and efficient energy.

The largest galaxies\, although relatively rare in number\, host many of the stars in the Universe and deep in their cores harbor the most extreme supermassive black holes. Today massive galaxies are old - their stars are red and dead and their dynamical structures are dispersion supported. While massive galaxies have long been expected to be relics of a much earlier formation time\, JWST is just now revealing their earliest histories\, including their formation hundreds of thousands of years after the Big Bang. In this talk I will describe my team’s observational efforts to identify and characterize massive galaxies in the distant Universe with JWST and throughout cosmic time\, including with the new Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph.

It is conjectured that when the strength of the potential is weak\, the solution should evolve diffusively as time goes to infinity. Previous approaches to this problem have hinged on diagrammatic expansions for the propagator. In this talk\, I will explain a new proof of this phenomenon for long but finite times that instead proceeds by studying certain self-consistent equations for the resolvent. The analysis requires techniques from random matrix theory as well as dispersive properties of the Laplacian. This is joint work with Reuben Drogin and Felipe Hernández.

Carnot groups admit the structure of a sub-Riemannian manifold. Thus\, to broaden the context\, a sub-Riemannian geodesic is a local arc-length-minimizing curve. A natural question is: What are the conditions for a geodesic to be a global minimizer? A curve is called a metric line if it is a globally minimizing geodesic\; an alternative term is “an isometric embedding of the real line.” The talk is devoted to presenting the results and ideas that inspired me to formulate a conjecture classifying metric lines in Carnot groups\, as well as the results obtained in this direction.

Our group is studying and harnessing soft materials to create devices (actuators\, sensors\, electronics) with tissue-like properties. For example\, gallium-based liquid metal alloys have remarkable properties: low melting point\, water-like viscosity\, low-toxicity\, and effectively zero vapor pressure. Despite being liquid\, these materials can be patterned into stretchable conductive circuits due to a thin\, oxide skin that forms rapidly on its surface. This oxide can also be separated from the metal as a way to print thin conductors and dielectrics at ambient conditions. In addition to soft electronic conductors\, we study soft\, stretchable ionic conductors called ‘ionogels’ that contain ionic liquids. We have found simple ways to improve the toughness of these materials. Taken together this work has implications for soft and stretchable electronics\; that is\, devices with desirable mechanical properties for human-machine interfacing\, soft robotics\, and wearable electronics.

Hsieh\, \"Hearing with the state: Noise and Technologies of Post-authoritarian State Apprehension in Taiwan\" DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a guest lecture by Jennifer C. Hsieh\, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nSince the earliest implementation of noise-control regulations in 1920s New York City\, the governance of noise has exposed the gulf between the meaning and materiality of sound. Scholars of noise have argued that noise-control engineering ignores human hearing by measuring noise using quantitative values. While this assertion appears to close the chapter on the underlying contradictions of noise\, an examination of Taiwan's management of low-frequency noise – sounds that are perceptible to the ear but undetectable by decibel meters – suggests that noise remains a contested object in terms of its classification in bureaucratic systems and the handling capacity of infrastructure. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Taiwan's Environmental Protection Administration and legislative records around the time of the 1980s democratic transition\, I analyze the techno-sensorial mediation between acoustic devices\, an apprehensive state apparatus\, and embodied citizen hearers that shift the socio-material relations of noise governance into a mode of \"hearing with the state\,” one that amplifies the postauthoritarian conditions of modern-day Taiwan.\n\nFACULTY BIO\n\nhttps://lsa.umich.edu/anthro/people/faculty/socio-cultural-faculty/jchsieh.html UID:140757-21887579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140757 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Free,Interdisciplinary,Lecture,North Campus,Research,Scholarship,Talk LOCATION:Earl V.

Her artisanal approach to technology brings science to street level\, creating sculpture\, conceptual fashion\, performance\, and film that imagine hypothetical worlds and provoke exploration of who we are and where we're headed.\n\nIn parallel with her gallery and museum focused art practice\, McRae thrives as a strategic and versatile thought partner to brands\, research institutes\, and Hollywood writers' rooms—including Blade Runner 2099. Renowned for her agility in connecting far-reaching dots\, she brings a multiplayer mindset to thought experiments and technology’s evolving\, plural ecosystem. Her work has been acquired by SFMOMA\, the National Gallery of Victoria\, Powerhouse Museum\, and TextielMuseum\, and has been exhibited globally at leading institutions including Centre Pompidou\, Venice Biennale\, Milan Triennial\, MMCA Seoul\, MAXXI\, MIT Museum\, Het Nieuwe Instituut\, HEK (Haus der Elektronischen Künste)\, the London Science Museum\, Design Museum Holon\, and Honor Fraser Gallery.\n\nMcRae is a Visiting Professor at SCI-Arc and Arizona State University\, where she co-directs a Futures Incubator for architecture students exploring hybrid creative practices. As a TED Fellow and mentor to emerging thinkers in technology and the liberal arts\, she challenges students and collaborators alike to reimagine the future through speculative design.\n\nIn her talk Future Sensitive\, McRae explores how technologies like CRISPR may reshape humanity in the coming decades\, redefining social structures and the nature of reproduction. Asking provocative questions—such as who will design reproductive habitats when humans are no longer born in bodies\, but in labs—she uses narrative prototyping to examine how science fiction can drive real-world discourse. These investigations lie at the heart of her practice\, opening new and interdisciplinary avenues for architecture\, design\, and human identity in an increasingly engineered world.\n\nWith support from Design Core Detroit\, and the Michigan Institute for Data and AI in Society. \n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books.

Inspired by the existential absurdity of being alive\, the failures of assigned roles\, and the blurred boundaries between play and performance\, the work explores the combustible territory between childhood imagination\, adult consequence\, and theatrical illusion.\n\nWhat does it mean when children play at war\, or love\, or death – enacting dramas they barely understand? And what happens when those same dramas become real\, lived\, or staged? Is the stage any less real than the battlefield\, the bedroom\, or the family dinner table? THE LONG FALL lives in this surreal overlap\, where innocence and impact are tangled\, where performance is both survival and surrender.\n\nSet against an original electronic score by Marshall Chadbourne\, the myth of the American mission – of family\, of purpose\, of safety – fractures. No promise can truly be kept. No victory comes without shadow. And still\, we try. We fail. We try again. Our lives tumble forward in the chaotic current of time\, and even as we fall through space\, we brazenly and optimistically reach for one another. These exquisite moments of connection\, caught between descent and delay\, are the flashes of meaning against all odds.\n\nMy process begins with the body. Behavior that rises into high physicality becomes a portal into the surreal\, emotional\, and mythic. The pressure between bodies becomes a kind of truth-teller. The audience is present – not just as observers\, but as witnesses\, co-dreamers\, and sometimes accomplices.\n\nCreation is collaborative\, volatile\, and alive. I bring movement\, text\, images\, themes\, and tasks\; the ensemble brings their interpretations – wild\, grounded\, broken\, ecstatic. We construct a world from fragments and contradictions. A world that drifts between war-torn realities and absurd dream-states. Where the nuclear family is both icon and ruin. Where love is earnest and unspeakable. Where we fail beautifully\, collapsing forward\, haunted and held.\n\nTHE LONG FALL does not seek to tell a linear story\, but to inhabit a state – a falling\, looping\, breaking\, trying. It is a meditation on fragile persistence\, on the way human beings continue inside impossible conditions.

He is Principal Tuba of the Syracuse Orchestra and spends his summers on faculty at the Round Top Music Festival in Round Top\, Texas and as Principal Tuba of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa Cruz\, California.\n\nBenavidez has performed across North America\, Europe\, and Japan. He has appeared as a concerto soloist with various ensembles\, including the Albany Symphony Orchestra\, the United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own”\, the Aspen Music Festival Orchestra\, and the Eastman Wind Ensemble. His debut solo album *Emblems* won Silver Medals in the Classical Album and Solo Instrumentalist categories of the 2018 Global Music Awards. The *International Tuba Euphonium Association Journal* described it as “an impressive and highly entertaining record” on which Benavidez “shreds with enthusiasm\, exuberance\, and precision.” His second album *Storyteller* won Silver Medals in the Classical Album and Solo Instrumentalist categories of the 2022 Global Music Awards and was named a finalist for the 2023 ITEA Roger Bobo Award for Excellence in Recording. *Fanfare* described the album as “splendidly eloquent […] a masterclass in expressiveness.”\n\nAs an orchestral tubist\, Benavidez has performed with the symphony orchestras of Charleston\, Charlotte\, Jacksonville\, Philadelphia\, Rochester\, Santa Fe\, Sarasota\, Tallahassee\, and Utah. He is the only tubist to have been awarded the Orchestral Fellowship and the New Horizons Fellowship at the Aspen Music Festival where he was a student for six summers\, held the principal tuba chair in the festival orchestra\, and was the winner of the Aspen Music Festival concerto competition.\n\nBenavidez was the distinguished recipient of the Horace H. Rackham Merit Fellowship for doctoral studies at the University of Michigan and was presented with the University of Michigan Paul Boylan Award for outstanding accomplishments and significant contributions in the field of music. As a scholar\, Benavidez was awarded the McKnight Faculty Fellowship to complete his research on the most significant solo repertoire for tuba\, culminating in a critical volume that will be published by Oxford University Press. He serves as Editor-in-Chief for the *ITEA Journal* and was the editor for *Flow Studies* through Mountain Peak Music\, a daily routine regimen for tuba.\n\nAs one of today’s leading educators\, Benavidez is frequently invited to present master classes and perform as a guest recitalist at preeminent universities\, workshops\, and conferences. Notable invitations have included Indiana University\, the University of Michigan\, Yale University\, Rice University\, the Kunitachi College of Music in Tokyo\, the Bern University of the Arts in Switzerland\, the Lyon Conservatory of Music\, the Paris Conservatory of Music\, and multiple International Tuba Euphonium Conferences. He was awarded the Florida State University Teaching Award in 2021 for exceptional teaching and mentorship.

Yet the performance explores the uncharted geographical and stylistic spaces between the points of that triangle. Through diverse repertoire such as haunting Uyghur folk tunes from Xinjiang\, polyphonic songs from the Iberian Peninsula\, and classical forms from the Ottoman court\, we experience moments when these three musical traditions reached out to engage with one another. Guided by three plucked-string specialists joined in collaboration by mutual curiosity and friendship\, listeners will hear musical dialogues that can only take place in real or imagined \"borderlands\" where cultural boundaries blur and creativity know no bounds.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ENSEMBLE\n\nLucas Harris\, lute\; Ronnie Malley\, oud\; Wen Zhao\, pipa\n \nEach member of THE LUTE LEGENDS COLLECTIVE is a committed carrier of an ancient musical tradition\, whether it be the virtuosic modal improvisation of the Middle East\, the intricate polyphony of the European Renaissance and Baroque\, or the picturesque musical depiction of nature from China. Though instruments such as the oud\, lute\, & pipa each have evolved a distinct set of techniques and sounds\, the recognition that our beloved instruments are “long-lost cousins” invites us into a new kind of musical conversation based on mutual curiosity and friendship. The Lute Legends Collective is our way of reuniting our instruments in a cross-traditional musical experiment for the twenty-first century.\n\nLucas Harris & Wen Zhao\, directors\nhttp://www.lutelegends.com UID:137864-21880926@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137864 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Culture,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Earl V.
