SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. 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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“The Tax Treatment of Housing as a Source of Racial Inequality”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host our own faculty member Joe LaBriola as he presents\, “The Tax Treatment of Housing as a Source of Racial Inequality.”\n\nAbstract: “In this talk\, I argue that the state contributes to cumulative advantage processes in United States housing markets through the tax treatment of homeownership\, which fuels house price growth and provides greater economic benefits to groups with high homeownership rates. I focus in particular on the effect of the mortgage interest deduction\, a federal tax expenditure that transfers tens of billions of dollars to homeowners each year\, on economic inequality between White and Black households. I document wide White-Black inequality in mortgage interest deduction benefits\, caused in large part by White-Black gaps in homeownership\, and demonstrate how the mortgage interest deduction has contributed to growth of the White-Black wealth gap in recent decades. However\, I also show that White-Black gaps in mortgage interest deduction benefits have narrowed over time\, due to falling mortgage interest rates and increases in the size of the standard deduction. These findings highlight how the effects of racialized tax policies depend on how institutional and macroeconomic conditions interact with racial gaps in factors that affect tax liabilities.”\n\nJoe LaBriola is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center\, where he is Faculty at the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics. His research examines the roots of social stratification in the contemporary United States\, with his current research focusing on the role of housing and housing policy in exacerbating racial and socioeconomic inequalities. Methodologically\, he uses econometric methods and microsimulation modeling to analyze survey and administrative data. His work has been published in leading sociology journals including the American Sociological Review\, Social Forces\, and Social Problems.\n\nLunch will be provided to all in-person attendees. Please RSVP to save your seat.

SUMMARY:Performance:Austin Zhu & Adam Lenhart\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Graduate students Austin Zhu & Adam Lenhart perform on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Peptide Encoded Chiral Inorganic Nanomaterials Talk
DESCRIPTION:From small molecules to entire organisms\, evolution has refined biological structures at the nanoscale\, microscale and macroscale to be chiral—that is\, mirror dissymmetric. Chiral nanoscale materials can be designed that mimic\, refine and advance biological chiral geometries\, to engineer optical\, physical and chemical properties for applications in photonics\, sensing\, catalysis and biomedicine. The idea that inorganic materials can be chiral seems to be counterintuitive. In this talk\, I will discuss about a new mechanism that can generate chiral nanomaterials based on the interaction between chiral peptides and high index plane of metal surface. The enantioselective interaction of chiral molecules and high-Miller-index facets can break the mirror symmetry of the metal nanocrystals. I will also discuss about interesting optical properties of these chiral gold plasmonic nanoparticles that was synthesized by the peptides and amino acid. The resulting 432 symmetric chiral morphology result in the highest dissymmetry factor (g) and the efficient coupling with other materials. I believe that this synthetic approach for the chirality control of inorganic nanomaterials can have a lot of potential to maximize the light-matter interaction\, resulting in many optical\, electronic and biological applications. \nReference)\n“Enantioselective Sensing by Collective Circular Dichroism\,” Nature. 2022\, 612\, 470. \n“Amino-Acid- and Peptide-Directed Synthesis of Chiral Plasmonic Gold Nanoparticles\,” Nature. 2018\, 556\, 360. \n\nProfessor Ki Tae Nam received his B.S. and M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Seoul National University\, and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT. He got the “outstanding PhD thesis award” from MIT. His PhD thesis was about the “virus-based battery” that has been highlighted as the first demonstration of virus based electrochemical devices. During his postdoc (2007-2010) at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab\, he studied peptide mimetic polymer to assemble two dimensional structures. Since 2010\, His group at SNU continue to pioneer the research area of bioinspired material science to make new functional materials for energy and optical applications. Recent innovations include the development of CO2 utilization chemistry (Nature Energy. 2021\, 6\, 733 and Nature synthesis. 2024\, 3 etc) and the peptide based synthesis of chiral nanomaterials (Nature 2018\, Nature 2022 and Nature Materials 2024). In 2022\, He received the POSCO Chung-am Award that is one of the most prestigious award in Korea. He is an associate editor for Nano Letters and will serve as one of the chair in MRS Fall 2027 Meeting.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Nanoscale Soft Matter Under Electron Microscopy
DESCRIPTION:We are fascinated with nanoscale soft matter\, which crosses the boundaries of synthetic and living systems and defies simple mean-field theories or coarse-grained models. In this talk\, I will show a few of our recent case studies\, with new understandings provided by our multimodal “electron videography.” The first is the measurement and significance of interactions beyond nearest neighbors in colloidal nanoparticles in and out of equilibrium. These interactions not only determine the phase behaviors of nucleation and crystal growth\, but the phonon mode structures if we treat nanoparticle self-assemblies as a new type of mechanical metamaterials. We establish accordingly the rules of nanoscale phonon manipulation in complex and new assembly structures such as Maxwell lattice with floppy modes and moiré lattices with angle-dependent band structures. The second is the measurement and design of structural heterogeneity of nanoparticles\, polymers\, and biological systems. We show that scaling theory needs to be coupled with atomic functional density theory to predict\, for example\, nanopatterning of polymers on surfaces. We also show the spatiotemporal fluctuations of proteins and cells during interactions\, which can impact greatly the function and efficacy of interactions. The third is the existence and generation of defects and strain in crystalline nanomaterials\, let them be catalysts or electrodes. Atomic lattices are “softened” in these systems\, leading to extended strain patterns in three dimensions that we visualize at the nanoscale. All these new observations are aligned with our push of electron videography and automation to make the invisible visible\, and we see this as the beginning of a more comprehensive understanding and utilization of nanoscale soft matter.\n\nBiography: \nProf. Qian Chen is currently a professor and Racheff Scholar in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Habitat Heartbeats: Listening to What Oysters and Mussels Can Tell Us about Southern California Estuaries
DESCRIPTION:Southern California’s estuaries can experience large swings in water quality due to events like freshwater inflow\, sewage spills\, and estuary mouth closures. The Tijuana River NERR (TRNERR) monitors several estuaries in San Diego County to better understand how biological communities respond to changes in water quality. Through an iterative process with TRNERR and other users\, this project team co-developed a biosensor monitoring system that uses shellfish (oysters and mussels) as biosentinels. Alongside state and local land managers and other wetland and aquaculture professionals\, the team designed an open-source electronic sensor that attaches to shellfish and monitors gaping behavior and heart rate. These metrics that can be used as indicators of physiological stress in response to environmental changes.\n\nIn this webinar\, the project team will describe their collaborative process within the team and with additional potential end users. Potential users included resource managers\,  aquaculture practitioners\, and research biologists working with these bivalves in other settings. The team will describe the basic components of the biosensor equipment and approaches used in the field and lab for gathering and analyzing data. Data from the focal estuaries will be used to illustrate individual and group responses of the biosentinel bivalves to rapidly-shifting water quality conditions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Stability and Moduli on Kuznetsov Components of Cubic 5-Folds
DESCRIPTION:Bridgeland stability is notoriously hard to construct on varieties of dimension > 2. One promising workaround is to focus on the Kuznetsov component of Fano varieties — a residual piece of the derived category that often captures the essential geometric information. In this talk\, I will explain the construction of stability conditions on Kuznetsov components using the machinery of quadric fibrations introduced by Bayer–Lahoz–Macrì–Stellari. I will illustrate how this technique applies to cubic 5-folds as a new higher-dimensional example. In the second part\, I will then describe properties of the associated moduli spaces. In particular\, they admit immersions into hyper-Kähler varieties with Lagrangian image\, generalizing a geometric construction of Illiev–Manivel.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macroscopic market making
DESCRIPTION:Trade execution and market making are two central problems in algorithmic trading that have largely been studied in separate literatures. In this talk\, I present a unified approach that addresses both problems simultaneously in three steps.\n\nWe introduce a macroscopic market making model à la Avellaneda-Stoikov\, using continuous processes for orders instead of discrete point processes. Since the impact of a single market maker on price is typically negligible\, we then develop the corresponding game formulation. Finally\, we can connect traders with market makers.\n  \nSubsequently\, we present our mathematical contributions. The goal is to derive the global well‑posedness of the optimal control/Nash equilibrium. The discussion addresses topics in game theory\, non‑smooth analysis\, FBSDEs\, and Riccati equations.\n\nReferences:\nIvan Guo\, Shijia Jin\, and Kihun Nam\, Macroscopic Market Making.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception for *Tukilile Vaa*
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening reception of Kaloki Nyamai’s debut Michigan exhibition *Tukilile Vaa* immediately following his Penny Stamps Lecture at the U-M Museum of Art. See the exhibition\, meet the artist\, and enjoy some light refreshments. All are welcome!\n\nAbout the exhibition:\nKaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Performance:Latin@ Culture Show 2026
DESCRIPTION:Latinidad Sin Fronteras celebrates the constantly evolving and boundless tapestry of Latinidad\, identities which transcend physical borders\, language\, and generations. This production strives to honor our pasts\, uplift our present voices\, and imagine a collective future rooted in resilience\, joy\, and creativity.\n\nLCS 2026 will create a blend between heritage and futurism by taking a look at the stories\, music\, and traditions which have shaped us while simultaneously envisioning how Latinidad will continue to grow and transform itself in the near future. This theme recognizes that our identities are not restrictive. It does not follow a “one size fits all” model but rather\, encompasses a constellation of experiences and truths - ranging from the Afro-Latine and Queer identities to those of being first generation or indigenous - which are all connected and bridged through shared histories and dreams.\n\nLatinidad Sin Fronteras invites our community to feel\, remember\, and imagine together – to truly explore and understand what Latinidad means when it is sin fronteras and free to become and transcend to what we desire and make it to be.
