Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities UID:143613-21893497@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143613 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Afro-brazilian Studies,Area Studies,Art,brazil,Center For Latin American And Caribbean Studies,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260224T144435 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260203T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260203T100000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Chair Aerobics/Stretch\, Strength & Balance/Zumba DESCRIPTION:Lifetime Fitness classes are offered at Briarwood Mall in the JCPenney wing every Monday-Friday from 9-10am.

Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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.

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.

These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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.

We infer an effective energy landscape from the data by fitting the inverse Ising model (also called a Boltzmann machine and pairwise maximum entropy model) and represent each observed system state as the position of a \"ball\" constrained to move on that surface. From the estimated landscape we compute\, statistical-physics‑inspired indices\, such as basin structure\, barrier heights\, dwell times\, transition rates\, and susceptibilities\, to characterize collective organization\, metastability\, and transition dynamics in the original time series. I illustrate the approach with neuroimaging examples in health and disease.

The model generates a unique equilibrium for given initial conditions but multiple steady- states. We show that: (i) even in the presence of Pigouvian environmental taxation\, targeted sectoral subsidies are generally necessary to implement the social optimum\; (ii) small\, targeted industrial policy may bring large welfare gains\; (iii) a government which is unable to subsidize greenification in more than one sector or price carbon at its true social cost should primarily target downstream sectors\; (iv) overinvesting in greenification in the wrong upstream branch may derail the overall transition towards greenification. Finally\, we calibrate our model to decarbonization of heavy duty transportation (trucking\, aviation\, etc.) via hydrogen. We find that\, absent industrial policy\, the economy can get stuck in the “wrong” steady-state with CO2 emissions vastly above the social optimum even with a Pigouvian carbon price in place.

However\, the provisions designed to battle insider trading built into Chinese law were a melange of ill-understood foreign (mostly US Supreme Court jurisprudential) doctrines\, equally ill-suited to punishing insider trading (and \"tipping\" or \"tippee trading\") as it appears in China's contemporary securities markets. That dissonance led to what can only be understood as baseless\, or illegal\, enforcement of the prohibition by China's securities regulator and criminal prosecutors against types of trading not captured by the statutory (legal) prohibition\, especially after the market crashes in China in 2015-16\, when there was tremendous pressure on the Politburo to show state action in response to popular fury. In 2020\, China revised its Securities Law\, but in ways that still fail to address the rampant illegality of civil and criminal enforcement against trading behavior that is not\, under any legal analysis\, captured by the statutory insider trading prohibition. This presentation will describe the 20 year old problem\, offer simple statutory and regulatory remedies that have so far escaped the Chinese legislator\, and consider what this kind of legally baseless enforcement by the state in one corner of one post-Reform market means for China's Socialist rule of law program.\n \n Nicholas Calcina Howson is the Pao Li Tsiang Chair Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School who works and writes on Chinese law and legal institutions\, Chinese legal history\, market regulation in the PRC\, administrative law\, and People's Court jurisprudence. A graduate of Williams College and the Columbia Law School\, he is a former partner of Paul\, Weiss\, Rifkind\, Wharton & Garrison LLP\, where he worked out of that firm's New York\, Paris\, London and Beijing Offices\, finally as a managing partner of the firm's Asia Practice based in the Chinese capital. Howson has also taught at the Berkeley\, Columbia\, Cornell\, and Harvard Law Schools\, and served as a consultant on Chinese law matters to the Ford Foundation\, the United Nations Development Programme\, the Asian Development Bank\, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\, and has advised the National People’s Congress of the PRC on the amendment of the PRC Company Law and the PRC Securities Law. He acts regularly as a Chinese law expert or party advocate in US and international litigations and/or US government enforcement actions.

This has wide reaching consequences for politics when it comes to issues like misinformation and polarization\, but it is also changing public perceptions of what news media are and challenging traditional understanding of the role of news media in democracies. Using panel survey data from 2020 and 2024\, we examine two seemingly contradictory phenomenon: how information abundance can lead to news avoidance and how strong emotional reactions to politics can lead to disengagement. Together\, these studies highlight how social media may be shaping both how Americans define news and how they engage with it in the contemporary political information environment. \n\nBio:\nAriel Hasell is an Associate Professor of Communication and Media at the University of Michigan. Broadly\, her research examines how the contemporary media environment influences exposure to information about science and politics\, the effects of that exposure on knowledge and beliefs\, as well as public engagement with science and politics in society.\n\nMeeting ID: 929 6502 5837\nPasscode: 770619 UID:144317-21895152@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/144317 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Digital Media,Information and Technology,Media,Political Communication,Social Media LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430BD CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260123T121656 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260203T132000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260203T135000 SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Lenhart\, carillon DESCRIPTION:Graduate student Adam Lenhart performs on the Ann & Robert H.

These conversations include policymakers\, educators\, researchers\, and parents\, but children themselves are rarely included. The purpose of this talk will therefore be to explore what we know about children’s own perspectives on their digital privacy\, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence. We’ll cover what they notice\, care about\, and understand as it relates to online privacy and data security\, and what researchers can explore next to continue child-centered conversations about how best to keep children safe online.\n\nDr. Lauren N. Girouard is a National Science Foundation postdoctoral research scholar at the University of Michigan and Harvard University\, where she works with Drs. Susan Gelman\, Ying Xu\, and Jenny Radesky on projects examining children’s beliefs about AI chatbots and how those beliefs translate into digital literacy in home and classroom environments. She graduated with her PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Louisville in May 2024. Her work broadly examines how 4- to 17-year-old children think about\, trust\, and learn from emerging technologies and AI. \n\nAdd this event to your Google calendar.\nhttps://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit/copy/MnRpdnA0Z3JpYzRhMWM2Y241NXMwNmdzYzYgdW1pY2guZWR1X2ZkczI0Z2V2cGE0MnY5NTc2bG5wZTJjbWxrQGc UID:144046-21894585@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/144046 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Ai Literacy,Artificial Intelligence,Children,Community Service,computer science,Data Science,Digital Culture,Digital Studies,digital technology,Discussion,Education,Ethics,Family,Free,Genai,Generative Ai,health,Health & Wellness,health care policy,health policy,Human Rights\, Sustainability\, Social Impact,Humanities,In Person,information and technology,information policy,information science,information studies,information technology,Its,michigan it,pediatrics,Psychology,Public Health,Research,Social Impact,social influence,Social Media,social science research,Social Sciences,Sociology,Talk,technology LOCATION:Michigan League - Michigan Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260105T151134 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260203T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260203T171500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Oxyanion Reduction with Iron Catalysts DESCRIPTION:The development of synthetic models that mimic the highly specialized coordination spheres of metalloenzymes remains a primary goal in inorganic synthesis\, particularly for the reduction of kinetically inert oxyanions. This work describes the design and reactivity of a bio-inspired nonheme iron framework\, [N(afaCy)3Fe]OTf2\, emphasizing the role of secondary coordination sphere interactions in facilitating challenging multi-electron/multi-proton transfer processes. By tailoring the ligand architecture to stabilize reactive intermediates\, we demonstrate the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxyanions (NO3– and NO2–) to N2 or NH3. Mechanistic insights obtained through isotopic labeling\, spectroscopic characterization\, and computational analysis identify a key hydroxylamine intermediate\, illustrating how structural modifications to the iron center dictate divergent reaction pathways. Furthermore\, the complex demonstrates a distinct selectivity profile in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)\, favoring a two-electron/two-proton pathway to produce hydrogen peroxide\, an uncommon result for nonheme iron catalysts that underscores the influence of the local chemical environment on redox transformations. These results highlight the importance of precise structural control in the synthesis of iron-based complexes for the transformation of diverse chemical feedstocks and the advancement of sustainable catalysis.
