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:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: Overview of the lattice of torsion classes
DESCRIPTION:A torsion class is a collection of modules for an algebra that is closed under quotients and extensions. It turns out that many combinatorial objects can be realized as torsion classes for certain algebras\, and the containment order on torsion classes recovers interesting partial orders on those objects. We will give a brief introduction to several examples\, including the Tamari lattice\, the weak order\, and the oriented exchange graph of a cluster algebra. We will also outline the schedule for the first half of the semester.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: Character sheaves for unipotent groups & easy algebraic groups
DESCRIPTION:An algebraic group is called \"easy\" if every geometric point is contained in the neutral connected component of its centralizer. In 2006\, Boyarchenko and Drinfeld conjectured that a unipotent group is easy if and only if its L-packets of character sheaves are singletons. In 2013\, Boyarchenko proved the \"only if\" direction. In this talk\, we sketch a proof of the converse. Along the way\, we give a characterization of easy algebraic groups via their Asai twisting operators. No prior knowledge of character sheaves is assumed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Riemann's Existence Theorem
DESCRIPTION:If you search for statements of Riemann’s Existence Theorem\, you will find many seemingly different statements which all might deserve their own name. These statements\, which go under the name RET\, range from the existence of nonconstant meromorphic functions on compact Riemann surfaces to the classification of finite branched covers via fundamental group monodromy. Also related is the fact that all compact Riemann surfaces are algebraic. In this talk\, I will explain how these different concepts are closely related (while using as little analysis as possible).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Breaking Newton’s Law: Using Dusty Plasma to Investigate Anisotropic Forces
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe stability of structures and transport of energy are affected by the forces acting between elements in the system. We are used to thinking of forces in terms of Newton’s third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. However\, there are some systems where the forces appear to be non-reciprocal\; the objects exert different forces on each other. Such an interaction is possible when the interaction is anisotropic. In this case\, the force between two particles depends on their relative orientation. Anisotropic interactions are known to arise in some of the most interesting complex systems\, including proteins\, electrorheological (ER) fluids\, and liquid crystals. Here\, we study anisotropic interactions in a complex\, or dusty\, plasma. We use numerical models of the interactions between ions and dust to learn the form of the anisotropic interaction potential. We can then use this potential to model the dynamics of interacting dust particles without modeling the ions. We compare the results of our models to experimental data collected in laboratory experiments conducted here on earth and on the International Space Station.\nThis work was supported by the US Department of Energy\, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (DE-SC0024681) and National Science Foundation (PHY-2308742\, PHY-2308743).\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nLorin Swint Matthews is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Baylor University and Associate Director of the Center for Astrophysics\, Space Physics\, and Engineering Research. She received her Ph.D. in Physics from Baylor University in 1998. She worked for Raytheon Aircraft Integration Systems from 1998-2000 as a multi-disciplined engineer in the Flight Sciences Department\, where she worked on NASA’s SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) aircraft. In 2000\, she joined the faculty at Baylor University. Her areas of research include numerical modeling and experimental investigations of the charging and dynamics of dust in astrophysical and laboratory plasma environments\, for which she received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2009. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.\n\nThis seminar is free and open to the public. It will be conducted in person and on Zoom\, please check MIPSE website for details: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2526.php

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: D-affinity of flag varieties in positive characteristic
DESCRIPTION:A smooth projective variety X is called D-affine if every left D-module is globally generated over D (the sheaf of differential operators) and has vanishing higher cohomology. A well known result of Beilinson-Bernstein asserts that over the field of complex numbers flag varieties of semi-simple algebraic groups are D-affine. So far\, Flag varieties are the only known examples of smooth projective D-affine varieties. Moreover\, Kashiwara-Lauritzen showed that over fields of positive characteristic the grassmannian Gr(2\,5) is not D-affine and the classification of D-affine flag varieties remains an open problem.\n\nIn the first part of the talk\, I will briefly recall the basics of D-affine varieties. Then\, I will survey both the problem of classification of D-affine varieties over fields of arbitrary characteristic and the problem of classification of D-affine flag varieties in positive characteristic.  Finally\, I will present my recent result: Over a field of positive characteristic the smooth even-dimensional quadric hypersurface of dimension at least four is not D-affine. This result implies that various other flag varieties fail to be D-affine and refines a previous result of A. Langer who showed that odd-dimensional quadrics are D-affine if the characteristic of the base field is sufficiently large.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAS Book Talk. Between Armenian(s): A Conversation with Arakel Minassian
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the re-launch of our graduate student Arakel Minassian’s co-written book *Sahmanakhagh(kht): Hayerenn u hayerēně [Border-play: The Armenian and the Armenian]*. In this book\, Arakel and Armenia-based writer Anahit Ghazaryan narrate a moment in time that found Arakel navigating life in Armenia as a Lebanese-Armenian diasporan from Canada. Written as a set of correspondences between Arakel and Anahit on topics ranging from everyday interactions to specific musings on language and dialect\, the book also narrates a meeting between the two major standards of Armenian – Arakel’s Western Armenian\, the standard of much of the post-genocide Armenian diaspora\, and Anahit’s Eastern Armenian\, the standard of the post-Soviet Armenian Republic. Written in their respective dialects (and their different orthographies)\, Anahit and Arakel’s dialogue illustrates the growing and complicated interactions between these two standards at the same time as it stages a discussion on diaspora\, home\, and the various meanings of Armenianness in the present-day. First published in Yerevan in 2022 with a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation\, *Sahmanakhagh(kht)* is now in its second printing. This event will feature a discussion with Arakel Minassian in English\, as well as readings in both Armenian and English translation. Books will be available for purchase.\n   \n   Arakel Minassian is a PhD student in the University of Michigan’s Department of Comparative Literature. His research focuses on 20th century Armenian literature and how writers creatively and differently engage Armenian and non-Armenian traditions across locales as diverse as Istanbul\, Paris\, and Soviet Yerevan. Looking at nodes like multilingualism\, diaspora\, and world literature\, he tries to find novel ways of reading 20th century Armenian literary history. Arakel has also published several translations from Armenian\, including Zabel Yesayan’s 1918 book *The Agony of a People *and Yeghishe Charents’ 1920 poem *Vision of Death*\, among other works.\n   \n   Webinar ID\n   924 1095 7575\n   https://umich.zoom.us/j/92410957575\n   \nCosponsor: National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.\n   Email: -- armenianstudies@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Annual Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture | Still Struggling to Cross That Bridge: Connecting the US and African Civil Rights Movements
DESCRIPTION:Hala Al-Karib is the Regional Director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) and is the Donia Human Rights Center’s inaugural Raoul Wallenberg Human Rights Practitioner Fellow.  In her lecture\, Ms. Al-Karib will reflect on her experiences advocating for human rights in the African context and how it mirrors the fight for civil rights in the United States.\n\n\"I grew up in the diminishing shadows of the African liberation movements. My childhood recollections were filled with long political debates among my parents\, their friends\, older cousins\, and uncles about memories of leaders like Biko of South Africa\, Senghor of Senegal\, Nkrumah of Ghana\, Nyerere of Tanzania\, Nasser of Egypt\, and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo. Naturally\, this history has shaped my political consciousness.\n\nLater in my life\, I discovered that at the same time\, another liberation movement was unfolding across the Atlantic\, where young men and women of African descent were challenging a system that disregarded their humanity\; they also vigorously strived for equality\, justice\, and human rights. In this conversation I am going to have with you\, I will seek to illustrate how the quest for liberation and decolonization in Africa parallels the civil rights movement in America\; both movements are reflecting our extended struggle to cross over that bridge towards a peaceful and just society.\"\n\nCommentator\n\nCarina Ray\nA.M. and H.P. Bentley Chair and Associate Professor of African History\, Department of History\, U-M\n\nThis is event is free and open to the public and is in-person only.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Sampling with Langevin Dynamics: Theory\, Algorithms\, and Limitations
DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces the overdamped Langevin stochastic differential equation as a method for sampling from complex probability distributions\, with brief historical context from statistical physics. We begin by deriving the infinitesimal generator of the Langevin diffusion and the associated Fokker–Planck equation\, which governs the evolution of probability densities. This correspondence allows us to characterize invariant (stationary) distributions and to analyze qualitative dynamical behavior\, including probability flow and transition times between modes of the distributions.\n\nExploiting the special Gibbs form of the stationary distribution\, we show how overdamped Langevin dynamics can be used as a practical sampling mechanism for high-dimensional target distributions. We then compare classical Metropolis–Hastings algorithms with Langevin-based methods\, highlighting their respective strengths\, such as improved scalability with data through gradient information\, as well as their limitations\, including discretization bias and sensitivity to step size. We conclude with remarks on challenges that arise when applying Langevin-based samplers to latent-variable models\, such as latent Dirichlet allocation and tree-structured latent variable models\, where other methods such as Variational Inference perform much quicker with great results.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Thompson Sampling Algorithm for Stochastic Differential Games
DESCRIPTION:We study a stochastic differential game with $N$ competitive players in a linear-quadratic framework with ergodic cost\, where $d$-dimensional diffusion processes govern the state dynamics with an unknown common drift (matrix). Assuming a Gaussian prior on the drift\, we use filtering techniques to update its posterior estimates. Based on these estimates\, we propose a Thompson-sampling-based algorithm with dynamic episode lengths to approximate strategies. We show that the Bayesian regret for each player has an error bound of order $O(\sqrt{T\log(T)})$\, where $T$ is the time-horizon\, independent of the number of players. This implies that average regret per unit time goes to zero. Finally\, we prove that the algorithm results in a Nash equilibrium.

SUMMARY:Performance:Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería
DESCRIPTION:One of the audience favorites from UMS’s 23/24 season was the UMS debut of México’s Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería\, led by the dynamic conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto. The sheer exuberance and palpable joy from the musicians were felt throughout the audience\, which remained on its feet long after the performance ended\, cheering for more.\n\nWe’re delighted to bring the orchestra back to Hill Auditorium\, this time with dynamic trumpet soloist Pacho Flores\, who performs two different works for trumpet and orchestra\, including Paquito D’Rivera’s Latin Grammy Award-winning Venezuelan Concerto. Born in Venezuela and growing up in the country’s famous El Sistema program\, Flores makes his UMS debut in this concert\, which features rarely heard orchestral works by leading composers from the Americas.

SUMMARY:Performance:FRÄNDER
DESCRIPTION:Sounds from traditional Swetish and Estonian folk music with echoes of Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull.\n\nFRÄNDER plays modern acoustic folk music forged in the deep forests of northern Sweden. With seductive harmonies\, heavy grooves and mesmerizing energy the band creates a unique musical landscape filled with mystery and charm. Combining their modern influences with the sounds of tradition\, they find their creative freedom within the expressive modern sound of Nordic folk music and the traditional music of their ancestors. FRÄNDER is not interested in merely reproducing the past but strives to find new ways into the future.\n\nThey convey their music with a tremendous joy of playing\, a powerful energy and\, of course\, enviable instrumental skills. They captivate their audience. ” - Ando Kiviberg\, Founder\, Viljandi Folk Festival
