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:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Modeling Biology on a Quantum Computer:  Deciphering the Mechanism of ATP Hydrolysis Using Quantum Hardware
DESCRIPTION:In-person: West Hall 411\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91050980639?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nThe ability to model biochemical reaction dynamics on quantum hardware would open the door\nto the virtually exact description of enzymatic catalysis\, accelerating the discovery of novel\ntherapeutics. However\, noisy hardware\, the costs of computing gradients\, and the number of\nqubits and gates required to simulate large systems present major challenges to realizing the\npotential of dynamical simulations using quantum hardware. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent\nefforts to model ATP hydrolysis\, a paradigmatic and clinically-important biochemical reaction\,\nusing quantum hardware. Key to our modeling is employing transfer learning to learn\napproximate force fields based on abundant data and then correcting those force fields using\ndata from quantum hardware. Using this technique and new embedding and downfolding\nmethods\, I will show how we can gain novel mechanistic insights into a variety of hydrolysis-\nrelated reactions and how these techniques can be adapted to other problems in biochemistry.\nThroughout this talk\, I will underscore the opportunities and challenges associated with using\nquantum hardware and how these can be addressed via the fruitful marriage of quantum\ncomputation and machine learning.\n\nBio:\nDr. Brenda Rubenstein is currently the Krieble Professor of Chemistry at Brown University. She\nwas named to Popular Science magazine’s 2021 Brilliant 10 list of the top early career scientists\nand C&amp\;EN’s 2019 Talented 12 list of early career chemists\, and has received a number of\nresearch and teaching honors including the Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award\, a Cottrell\nTeacher Scholar Award\, and a Sloan Research Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Scott Banta\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:B10 Auditorium \n\nBiotechnology for Critical Materials Production\n\nScott Banta\nProfessor and Chair of Chemical Engineering\nColumbia University\, New York\, NY\n\nScott Banta Ph.D. is Professor and Chair of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University.  He received his B.S.E. degree from the University of Maryland\, Baltimore County\, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Rutgers University.  He did a postdoctoral fellowship at the Shriners and Massachusetts General Hospitals and Harvard Medical School.  He began his faculty career in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University in 2004 and his research has focused on the engineering of proteins and peptides for various applications in areas including biocatalysis\, bioelectrocatalysis\, biomaterials\, gene and drug delivery\, biosensing\, and bioenergy. His group is also developing new biotechnology platforms for energy harvesting and conversion as well as metal and mineral processing.\n\n\nThe global transition towards electrification will require tremendous growth in the production of critical materials\, and biotechnology is providing new solutions to this grand challenge.  Metal oxidizing bacteria are critically important for the hydrometallurgical processing of copper\, gold\, and other sulfidic ores.  Approximately 20% of the world’s copper production involves microbial oxidation of minerals in the world’s largest bioreactors. We have pioneered the development of genetic tools for the engineering and application of the iron and sulfur oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic acidophile\, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. We gained new insights into their unique physiology and engineered them for new traits including accelerated growth\, enhanced bioleaching\, salt tolerance\, and critical material reclamation.  In addition to cells\, we are also invested in using biomolecular engineering to improve critical metal binding and separation.  We have recently developed new proteins for rare earth element and other critical material bioseparations under acidic conditions.  Throughout the talk I will highlight the substantial challenges and opportunities that come with the development of biotechnology solutions in this space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Yang Li
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGene expression evolution relies on regulatory mutations. Past studies suggested that optimizing gene expression by positive selection on cis-regulatory mutations is relatively easy because the corresponding adaptive landscapes are quite smooth. To what extent gene expression can be optimized via trans-regulatory mutations is\, however\, unknown. Analyzing the transcriptomes and proteomes of 16 yeast strains carrying all combinations of four auxotrophic mutations\, we respectively construct 5\,923 and 446 adaptive landscapes of mRNA and protein expressions where neighboring genotypes differ by a trans-regulatory mutation. We find that mRNA expression is less optimizable by trans-regulatory mutations than by cis-regulatory mutations due to a lower fraction of open adaptive paths via trans- than cis-changes\, which may partially explain why trans-regulatory changes are rarer than cis-regulatory changes in gene expression evolution. Interestingly\, the adaptive landscapes of protein expressions are substantially less rugged and thereby more navigable than those of mRNA expressions due to post-transcriptional buffering effects\, suggesting that\, for protein-coding genes\, the evolvability of gene expression is even higher than the current estimate from adaptive landscapes of mRNA expressions. This high evolvability may have contributed to the prominence of gene expression changes as a mechanism of evolutionary adaptation.\n\n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Implementing EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interface Access to Commercial Speech Generating Devices\nAbstract:\nBrain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have long been considered a promising option for people with complex communication needs.  However\, most BCIs remain in the laboratory and the few BCIs on the market are not integrated into the clinically useful augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices available from long-established companies.  With small business funding from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders\, Dr. Jane Huggins from the University of Michigan and Dr. Katya Hill from Gannon University have been working closely with an AAC device manufacturer to create wearable BCI access to an existing product line of speech generating devices.  These efforts have produced a BCI add-on accessory that can access the language features of the speech generating devices. Laboratory and in-home testing focused on realistic communication tasks shows the effectiveness of the BCI for real-world communication and challenges and areas for future improvements. \nBio:\nDr. Huggins has been active in brain-computer interface (BCI) research since 1994. Her dissertation research on electrocorticogram (ECoG) for BCI access to assistive technology resulted in the founding of the University of Michigan Direct Brain Interface Laboratory\, which she has led since 2007.  Dr. Huggins trained in computer engineering and biomedical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Michigan. She also completed a clinical rehabilitation engineering internship at the University of Michigan\, giving her a unique combination of skills for the development of BCI access to assistive technology and augmentative and alternative communication.  Her current focus is on making electroencephalogram (EEG)-based BCIs interfaces practical for people who need them. Ongoing research directions include interfacing BCIs to commercially available assistive technologies\, improving BCI response time and no-control performance\, identifying features and support necessary for successful independent BCI use by people with physical impairments\, identifying the design preferences and priorities of potential BCI users\, BCI applications in cognitive testing\, and the identification and accommodation of user-specific characteristics that affect BCI function. She is particularly interested in the often ignored topic of how BCIs can remain available for communication but unobtrusive during periods when the user is not actively trying to make selections. Dr. Huggins was a founding member of the board of directors of the Brain-Computer Interface Society and now serves on the BCI Society's Communications Committee. Outside the lab\, Dr. Huggins enjoys knitting\, genealogy\, birdwatching\, cooking for her husband\, and being Mom to her college-age children.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Surface and Atmospheric Biosignatures in the Era of the ELTs and HWO\"\n\nIndependent lines of evidence will be required to support the detection of life beyond Earth. Adding to current methods\, missions such as the Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) and the Habitable World Observatory (HWO) will observe terrestrial exoplanets in reflected light. In this talk\, I present the opportunity for surface and cloud biosignatures to act as complementary signatures of life to atmospheric biosignatures\, integrating laboratory spectroscopy\, field studies of extreme environments\, and reflectance spectrum modeling. I focus on how biological pigments\, microbial surface communities\, and atmospheric microorganisms change planetary albedos and observability. Using polar and high-altitude analog environments on Earth\, I explore how Earth’s biosignatures can help strengthen the interpretation of biosignature detections on a wider scale. This work provides a framework for incorporating surface and cloud biosignatures into reflected-light observations\, informing strategies for the ELTs\, HWO\, and other life-detection missions.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Sword and Scroll: Three Centuries of Chinese Martial Arts Fiction
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese literary genre of wuxia 武俠 (martial arts fiction) poses an enduring challenge for translators\, as no single English term captures the essence of the xiake 俠客 — the Chinese martial arts hero. The xiake is defined less by extraordinary physical power and more by a commitment to justice and individual freedom\, often prioritizing moral action over societal law and hierarchy. Rooted in ancient texts\, the moral codes and martial skills of the xiake have fascinated generations of readers. The genre remains the most widely read form of popular literature and has inspired contemporary Kung Fu films and xiuxian 修仙 (cultivation) novels.\n\nThis Third Thursday\, join the Asia Library staff to explore three centuries of the rich wuxia tradition\, from its flourishing in the mid-Qing dynasty to the 21st century. On display are representative literary works—both translations and Chinese originals—tracing the development of the genre\, alongside academic scholarship on its historical context\, narrative aesthetics\, and cultural impact. We would also like to share the legacy of these stories through adapted films\, DVDs\, and comic works that capture the collective memories of wuxia across generations of readers.\n\nThird Thursdays at the Library is a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of this month's Third Thursday locations — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The History of Psychedelics and Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the Michigan Psychedelic Center's 2026 Seminar Series: Psychedelics — From Cells to Society. Learn more about the series at https://michiganpsychedelic.med.umich.edu/education-events/. \n\nAbout the Talk:\nPsychedelic drugs now serve as instrumental tools in modern neuroscience for understanding the neural correlates and causes of consciousness. Often underappreciated is the vital role that psychedelics played in shaping the fundamental discoveries of monoamine neurotransmission during the mid-twentieth century. The profound psychoactive effects of mescaline and LSD sparked a paradigm shift in thinking that ultimately led to an evolution in our understanding of the biochemical basis of behavior and etiology of mental illness. \n\nThis talk will provide a historical exploration of the powerful influence that psychedelics had on prominent researchers whose work on monoamine neurotransmission revolutionized the way we think about the role of neurochemistry in behavior. In parallel\, we will examine the often-interwoven influence that psychedelics had on psychiatric researchers\, whose search for a psychedelic-like endogenous psychotogen in mental disorders like schizophrenia refocused the field from psychoanalytic explanations to explosive advances in psychopharmacology.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nNick Denomme\, PhD\, is a postdoctoral scholar studying the effects of psychedelics on cortical synaptic plasticity and dendritic integration with Drs. Robert Malenka and Boris Heifets at Stanford University. He received a PhD in pharmacology from the University of Michigan and has had a lifelong interest in psychoactive substances as powerful tools to understand how the brain generates the mind.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Ignatz Waghalter and the Negro Symphony Orchestra (1938-40)
DESCRIPTION:David Goldfarb\, independent scholar and host of \"Encounters with Polish and Ukrainian Literature\,\" a YouTube program sponsored by the Polish Cultural Institute in New York\, will give a talk coinciding with the Martin Luther King memorial holiday\, entitled \"Ignatz Waghalter and the Negro Symphony Orchestra (1938-40).\" This is a strange and fascinating story. The talk will take place in the Modern Languages Building\, Room 3308\, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM.\n\n\nAbout the Talk\nComposer William Grant Still published an essay in 1939\, “A Negro Symphony Orchestra\,” imagining the possibilities that could be opened by having an all-Black orchestra of national stature that would be an inspiration to Black youth “and to America as a whole\,” and would introduce new energy into classical music by involving musicians skilled in jazz. His dream was consonant with the ideas of W.E.B. DuBois\, who in “The Souls of Black Folk\,” argued that classical music played an essential political role in the “uplift” of the race\, and nineteenth-century educator James Monroe Trotter\, who saw classical music as a means of demonstrating the right of African Americans to participate in American democracy as “full-fledged citizens.”\nThere had been a number of African American orchestras by that time\, but just such an ensemble with international ambitions had formed in Harlem in 1938 and incorporated officially as “The Negro Symphony Orchestra\,” curiously under the baton of conductor and composer Ignatz Waghalter (1881-1949)\, who found himself in New York after fleeing Nazi Germany. Waghalter came from a Warsaw family of Jewish musicians\, klezmorim who played weddings and circuses. He had smuggled himself illegally into Germany as a teenager to study classical music and rose to prominence as the director of the Deutsches Opernhaus in Berlin from 1912-23. He also served as a visiting conductor for major institutions from the National Opera in Riga to the New York State Symphony. In New York he joined forces with leading figures in the Harlem Renaissance including James Weldon Johnson\, Judge James S. Watson\, orchestra manager Leviticus Lyon and conductor A. Jack Thomas to form “The Negro Symphony Orchestra.” Waghalter composed a choral work with lyrics by Judge Watson called “America\, Our Shining Light\,” addressing themes of bigotry\, racism\, anti-immigrant sentiment\, and the hope of America. When the orchestra collapsed after the outbreak of World War II\, Waghalter was working on a composition specifically for this orchestra\, called the “New World Suite.” This presentation will discuss what archives at Yale and in New York reveal about the orchestra and Waghalter’s collaboration with it.\n\nAbout David A. Goldfarb\nDavid A. Goldfarb is an independent scholar of Polish literature and literary theory\, and a literary translator from Polish to English. He produces and hosts the monthly video series “Encounters with Polish and Ukrainian Literature\,” supported by the Polish Cultural Institute New York\, now entering its sixth year\, and is a writer for a documentary film about Polish-Jewish composer Ignatz Waghalter and the Negro Symphony Orchestra in Harlem. His main current translation project is Agata Tuszyńska’s “The Black Handbag” and he has a residency from the Polish Book Institute to work on Tuszyńska’s novel about Bruno Schulz’s fiancée\, Józefina Szelińska\, in Warsaw this summer. From mid-2010 to the end of 2013\, he was Curator of Literature and Humanities Programming at the Polish Cultural Institute in New York\, a diplomatic mission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. Prior to that he was an Assistant Professor of Slavic Literatures and Comparative Literature at Barnard College\, Columbia University.\nHe holds a doctorate in Comparative Literature from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He has published articles on Bruno Schulz\, Zbigniew Herbert\, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz\, Mikhail Lermontov\, and East European cinema in such journals as “East European Politics and Societies\,” “Indiana Slavic Studies\,” “Philosophy and Literature\,” “Prooftexts\,” “The Polish Review\,” “Slavic and East European Performance\,” and “Jewish Quarterly\,” and he has published book chapters on Jozef Wittlin\, Witold Gombrowicz\, and Nikolai Gogol and Giuseppe Arcimboldo. He has written the introduction and notes for Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilych” and “Other Stories” and Turgenev’s “Fathers and Sons” for the Barnes and Noble Classics series\, and for the Penguin Classics edition of “The Street of Crocodiles and Other Stories” by Bruno Schulz.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: This lecture explores the question of Black political activism and racial representation in Brazilian politics. In the last 40 years\, affirmative action\, racial inequality\, and racial discrimination have entered the national political agenda. Black activists have long demanded specific policies to improve the social\, economic\, and political situation of Afro-Brazilians. The implementation of affirmative action policies in higher education has emphasized the significance of race\, class\, and social inclusion. Black politicians and leaders are often the most committed defenders of affirmative action and pro-racial equality policies. This lecture will focus on leading Black activists and organizations and their demands for social change. Afro-Brazilians are dramatically underrepresented among Brazil’s political elite. This presentation will also examine the degree to which Black elected and appointed officials prioritize Afro-Brazilians in their work. Which political parties and states of the country have produced more Afro-Brazilian government officials? Workers’ Party/PT presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rouseff have appointed more Black cabinet members than other presidents. Despite advances in racial representation\, Afro-Brazilians remain in a fragile socio-economic and political situation. Their concerns and welfare are not top priorities for Brazil’s most powerful and influential leaders.\n\nBIOGRAPHY: Dr. Ollie Johnson is a scholar of Black political experiences across the Americas. He is a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Wayne State University\, where he has taught courses such as Black Social and Political Thought and Pan Africanism: Politics of the Black Diaspora. His primary fields of inquiry are African American\, Afro-Brazilian\, and Afro-Latin American politics\, with particular expertise in Black political activism\, representation\, and the transnational dimensions of Black political movements. Dr. Johnson received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California at Berkeley\, an M.A. in Political Science from UC Berkeley\, an M.A. in Brazilian Studies from Brown University\, and a B.A. in Afro-American Studies and International Relations from Brown University. His research is published in numerous journal articles and book chapters\, as well as in his authored and edited books\, including Brazilian Party Politics and the Coup of 1964 (2001)\, Black Political\n\nTo attend this lecture via Zoom webinar\, visit https://umich.zoom.us/j/92980196679

SUMMARY:Performance:Denitia
DESCRIPTION:“Fusing elements of country\, folk and rock\, Denitia establishes a newfound American utopia” –NPR\n\nOn her new album\, Sunset Drive\, Denitia shares her story of going after something new — a life back in Nashville\, where she attended college\, immersed in both the city’s roots music scene and the community of the artist collective Black Opry — while experiencing the menagerie of emotions that come with leaving behind what you knew and starting over. Across the album\, she draws from the country and alternative rock music she listened to growing up outside of Houston\; the songs of artists such as the Eagles\, Vince Gill\, Waylon Jennings\, Joni Mitchell\, Dolly Parton\, and Neil Young\, ever present in her life\; and the decade she spent entrenched in Brooklyn’s indie music scene. \n\nDenitia’s music has been featured in the films Nanny and The Invitation\, as well as in the series Better Things (FX)\, Broad City (Comedy Central)\, Dear White People (Netflix)\, Shrinking (Apple TV+)\, and The Terminal List (Amazon). She has toured extensively with the Black Opry Revue\; been invited to perform at the National Museum of African American Music and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville\; and shared stages with Jason Isbell\, Amythyst Kiah\, Joy Oladokun\, and Allison Russell\, among other artists. \n\nIn 2023\, Denitia earned one of five spots in a residency hosted by the Black Opry and WXPN\, was named to Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country class\, and was one of three artists selected for CMT and mtheory’s Equal Access cohort. And the momentum continued in 2024: Denitia was one of CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country\; was named an artist to watch by the Nashville Scene\; made her Grand Ole Opry debut and opened shows for Mickey Guyton in 2024. Denitia was a featured vocalist in Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony.
