SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Hands on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Direct and Inverse Scattering on Step-like Elliptic Backgrounds and Full Soliton Gases for the Focusing NLS Equation
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will present direct and inverse scattering for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with initial data approaching elliptic traveling waves as \(x\to\pm\infty\). Under suitable assumptions\, we characterize the scattering data and establish a uniquely solvable Riemann–Hilbert formulation. For a suitable class of reflectionless data\, this formulation also arises as a continuum limit of multisoliton solutions\, yielding a full soliton gas that remains nonvanishing at both spatial infinities.\nThis is joint work with Tamara Grava\, Robert Jenkins and Xiaofan Zhang.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Generative AI Availability\, Grades\, and Student Satisfaction at a Large University
DESCRIPTION:The spread of generative AI (GenAI) in higher education has raised concerns that students offload cognitive effort to AI\, earning high grades without learning. If this \"GenAI substitution hypothesis\" is true\, grades should rise disproportionately in GenAI-susceptible courses -- those relying more on assessments like take-home problem sets and essays rather than in-class exams. Substitution could also affect student satisfaction\, measured here as self-reported understanding and interest in the subject\, which prior research links to assessments. We test the substitution hypothesis using syllabus and administrative data from a large U.S. university (2016-2025\; 138\,386 students\; 72\,730 course offerings). We measure courses' GenAI susceptibility using a human-validated LLM pipeline to extract assessment types from syllabi\, and use a differences-in-differences design comparing outcomes across courses before and after ChatGPT's release\, while modeling COVID-19 pandemic effects as either persistent or transient. We find no significant differential effect of GenAI availability on grades overall or among previously lower-performing students. Effects on self-reported understanding are likewise insignificant\; effects on interest are significant only assuming transient pandemic effects. Our findings temper concerns that GenAI inflates grades and reduces students' satisfaction.\n\nAuthors: James M.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Why Didn't the U.S. Unemployment Rate Rise at the End of WWII? (with Shigergu Fujita)
DESCRIPTION:This paper investigates why the U.S. unemployment rate rose only a few percentage points despite the dramatic decline in government spending and other upheaval at the end of World War II. Using a new longitudinal data set based on archival sources and government surveys\, we study the many facets of this question. Our findings suggest the following answers. First\, the dramatic decline in government spending led to a significantly smaller decrease in GDP than predicted by standard Keynesian models. Instead\, private job creation surged as private activity was “crowded in” by the fall in government spending. Second\, even accounting for the smaller fall in GDP\, the unemployment rate rose much less than predicted by Okun’s Law. We develop a new decomposition method that reveals how unusual movements in labor force participation rates\, hours worked\, and productivity led to a breakdown in Okun’s law during the 1940s. Third\, the U.S. labor market worked with astounding efficiency: despite large sectoral shifts at the end of the war\, most of the workers who separated from their jobs moved directly into new jobs without experiencing unemployment. All of these factors lined up to create a post-war boom despite the largest fall in government spending in U.S. history.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:When Your Team Keeps Getting Stuck: Working With Tension\, Conflict\, and Challenging Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:The pace of work and the pressure to deliver create just the right conditions for tension to build in teams. You may leave interactions feeling frustrated\, wondering why your team keeps having the same conversations\, avoids the hard ones\, or allows small issues to escalate into major misunderstandings.\n\nIf only other people would pull themselves together\, everything would go smoothly\, right?\n\nHere’s something you may not realize: your communication style may be unintentionally contributing to the very dynamics that frustrate you.\n\nIn this session\, you will learn how to spot the patterns underneath your team’s stuck conversations — and what to do about them. We will explore the four modes of communication that show up in every conversation\, how missing actions create conflict\, and the five common stuck patterns that play out in teams every day.\n\nYou will leave with a practical framework you can use immediately — in your next meeting\, your next hard conversation\, or your next moment of “here we go again.”\n\nWhat you will learn:\n\nHow to shift the role you might be playing in your team’s stuck patterns\nHow to spot the communication patterns that keep your team going in circles\nThe four modes of communication present in every conversation\, and what happens when one goes missing\nThe five most common stuck patterns that show up in teams\nPractical moves you can make to change the conversation in real time

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Staying True to You: Discover the Power of Your Middle Self and Live with Confidence\, Integrity\, and Peace of Mind\nSpeaker: Patricia Faison Hewlin\nTuesday\, September 15\, 2026\n2:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET\nFree and Online | Registration required to obtain login information\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/11Emx\n\nPositive Links: \nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, running for over 22 years with 165 sessions\, is one of the most-watched speaker series at Michigan Ross. Positive Links features distinguished scholars sharing leading ideas in the science of thriving. Learn how to ignite the science of extraordinary organizations catalyzed by human thriving\, together with our community of researchers\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nIn recent years\, we have seen an increase in conversations related to two extremes in the workplace. On one side is the pressure to express the “whole self\,” while on the other is the pressure to conform. The desire to fit in can particularly lead to suppressing one’s personal values and pretending to embrace organizational values\, a behavior Hewlin has termed as creating “facades of conformity.” Both extremes of authenticity and conformity carry distinct risks and potential harm to our well-being. In this session\, Hewlin bridges decades of her empirical research and real-world application to help people navigate these tensions. Drawing from her book\, Staying True to You\, she introduces a revolutionary concept: The Middle Self. Attendees will learn how the Middle Self serves as a powerful framework to comfortably manage the daily trade-offs between authenticity and conformity\, leaving them with actionable strategies to cultivate personal integrity and peace of mind.\n\nAbout Hewlin:\nDr. Patricia Faison Hewlin is an award-winning behavioral scientist with 20+ years of experience researching authenticity and conformity around the world. Currently a Professor of Social-Organizational Psychology at the Teachers College of Columbia University\, Dr. Hewlin holds her PhD in organizational behavior and MBA in finance from New York University’s Stern School of Business. Her work has been featured in mainstream media\, including the Huffington Post\, The Times (UK)\, Harvard Business Review Online\, and The Globe and Mail. In addition to her research and teaching\, Dr. Hewlin is also a professional consultant who works with major companies\, as well as arts organizations.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nPositive Links Speaker Series Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2026-27 Positive Links Speaker Series.\n\nPositive Links Series Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Revealing Strain and Disorder in Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides Using Hyperspectral Photoluminescence Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Spatial variations in strain and disorder can strongly influence the optical and electronic properties of two-dimensional materials\, even when the samples appear uniform under conventional microscopy. In this talk\, I will show how hyperspectral photoluminescence imaging can map these variations across complete transition-metal dichalcogenide heterostructures. By recording a densely sampled spectrum at each spatial position\, we extract the energies and linewidths of excitons\, trions\, and biexcitons in hBN-encapsulated MoSe₂ and WSe₂ devices. The resulting maps reveal smooth strain gradients\, localized wrinkles and ripples\, and changes produced by thermal cycling. In particular\, resonance linewidth emerges as a sensitive probe of disorder and unresolved strain variations that may be difficult to identify from photoluminescence intensity or peak energy alone. Measurements across several device architectures and fabrication processes demonstrate how this approach can assess optoelectronic uniformity\, identify regions suitable for targeted experiments\, and connect device-scale fabrication quality with local excitonic properties.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Cultivating a Global Radical Imagination at the Grassroots: Communist Women’s Mobilization in Mid-20th-c. Assam/Eastern Bengal
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. If you would like to attend via Zoom\, registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/2jjGN\n\nThis talk examines the lives and political projects of young women activists in 1930s–40s Sylhet who were drawn to join the Communist Party. Among them was Hena (Dutt) Das\, who remained in (East) Pakistan after Partition\, and who would be politically and socially engaged in Bangladesh until her death in 2009. In this talk\, Shehabuddin will focus on the revolutionary education and experiences that first brought Hena Dutt and her teenage classmates to the Communist Party\, how they understood and inhabited communism in their daily lives\, and how their personal and political histories complicate ideas about religious and national belonging\, about the much-described tug between communism and feminism\, and about the relationship between the personal and the political.\n\nElora Shehabuddin is professor of gender & women's studies\, director of global studies\, and director of the Subir and Malini Chowdhury Center for Bangladesh Studies at UC Berkeley. Her last book\, *Sisters in the Mirror: A History of Muslim Women and the Global Politics of Feminism* was selected as a 2022 Choice Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association and awarded the 2023 Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy Book Prize from the Association for Asian Studies. She currently serves as co-editor of the *Journal of Bangladesh Studies* (Brill)\, on the editorial board of the Cambridge University Press book series\, *Muslim South Asia* and as president of the Association for Asian Studies.\n\n*Image Credit: Waseka Nahar/HerStories*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The 39th Graham Hovey Lecture with Christopher Baxter of Spotlight PA
DESCRIPTION:A special Democracy Week event.\n\n\"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press\, and that can not be limited without being lost.\" - Thomas Jefferson\n\nTwo hundred fifty years ago this summer\, a group of delegates in Philadelphia signed a document that risked everything on a single conviction: that ordinary people\, given truthful information about those in power\, could govern themselves. But that promise is harder to keep every year. The Information Age has transformed into information overload\; it’s more difficult than ever to know what to trust\, and in cities and towns across America\, there are far fewer independent reporters demanding government transparency and holding our officials to account.\n\nJoin Christopher Baxter\, 2016 Knight-Wallace Fellow and founder of the Pennsylvania nonprofit newsroom Spotlight PA\, for a discussion on how local news lost its way\, why the future of our free society and the future of a free press are inextricably linked  — as the founders understood in 1776 — and what journalists and the public can do to ensure the press can fulfill its constitutional role in service to \"We the People.\"\n\nThis is an in-person event and will not be live-streamed. However\, a recording of the lecture will be available on our website following the event.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nChristopher Baxter is the CEO\, president and founding editor of Spotlight PA\,  a nonpartisan\, nonprofit newsroom producing investigative and public-service journalism for Pennsylvania\, where he oversees all aspects of the organization. His work as an investigative reporter and editor has prompted meaningful change\, prompting new laws and regulations\, criminal investigations\, resignations and legislative hearings. He received the 2014 Livingston Award for local reporting for an investigation that exposed how weak oversight allowed New Jersey private schools for students with disabilities\, despite being fully funded by taxpayers\, to engage in questionable spending practices. As a 2016 Knight-Wallace Fellow\, Baxter explored how to support\, promote and integrate enterprise journalism in digital-first newsrooms.\n\nAbout the Graham Hovey Lecture\nThe annual Graham Hovey Lecture recognizes a Knight-Wallace journalist whose career exemplifies the benefits of a fellowship at the University of Michigan and whose ensuing work is at the forefront of our national conversations. The event is named for the late Graham Hovey\, director of the fellowship program from 1980 to 1986 and a distinguished journalist for The New York Times.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Reaching the People: Visual Storytelling for Access & Action
DESCRIPTION:Edward Ginsberg Center and The Stamps School of Art + Design's Roman J. Witt Short Term Visiting artist program present a special event with Ariel Aberg-Riger\, Director of Creative Strategy & Design for the City of Buffalo\, NY and author of the award-winning book America Redux: Visual Stories from our Dynamic History. \n\nWe live in a visual world where people increasingly access information through images and video. How do we turn narratives and data into clear\, compelling visuals that move people to participate in civic life and work for social change? Join us for a special Democracy Week event with designer and author Ariel Aberg-Riger\, exploring how visual storytelling can make information more accessible and actionable. At this hands-on event\, participants will learn how images\, design choices\, data\, narrative and context all work together to communicate ideas to broad public audiences. We’ll look at examples of visual storytelling and data visualization that deepen public understanding of complex issues while opening pathways for action. We’ll also practice creating our own visual stories as a way to bring information to life for the public! All materials provided\, no specific expertise necessary. This event is designed for students\, faculty\, researchers\, artists\, designers\, communicators\, and anyone interested in civic engagement and public scholarship.\n\nDinner is provided and available at 5:30pm.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Blow Up\" - Work-in-Progress Dance Showing
DESCRIPTION:*Blow Up* is a site-specific project exploring immigration\, uprooting\, adaptation\, and the pressure to succeed in a new environment. At the center of the work are inflated boats – objects that can represent movement and transition\, but also aspiration\, instability\, protection\, and the fragile illusion of success. This work-in-progress showing presents material developed during a 10-day creative process with students\, using inflated boats as symbols of movement\, instability\, aspiration\, and transformation.\n\nJoin us on September 15 at 7:30 pm at the Dance Building\, Studio 1 to experience this new iteration of *Blow Up* and the discoveries that emerged through the collaborative research process.

SUMMARY:Performance:Road Trip! A Live Stage Production and Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nJoin us for a kickoff of the Parental Advisory Toolkit and our live stage performance: Road Trip!\nWe are proud to launch Parental Advisory: A toolkit for modern families to support youth substance use prevention\, from your friends at OPEN and HBOM.\n\nAbout Road Trip:\nCar rides and couch time can be great opportunities for conversation. A Michigan family is driving Up North and you are in the backseat in our production of Road Trip: A Parental Advisory Initiative.\nRoad Trip is presented in three acts\, with six fantastic professional actors playing the role of parent and youth.\n\nThroughout the show\, a track list of popular songs and shows will be played\, and the cast will press pause to discuss the song or show's portrayal of drugs and alcohol. Our goal is for you to feel like you could see yourself starting similar conversations with your children. Even if they don’t engage right away\, it doesn’t mean they didn’t hear you. You are planting important seeds that can really make a difference.\n\nAfter the performance\, we will have an open discussion and Q&A with three expert panelists and the Parental Advisory/HBOM/OPEN team. Panelists include:\nCharles Graham\, PhD\, LCSW\, University of Michigan\, Adolescent Addiction Disorder Expert\nJohn Steffenson\, C. S. Mott Children's Hospital\, Michigan Medicine\, Music and Occupational Therapist\nVicki Kavanaugh\, CPS\, Arbor Circle\, Prevention Manager\, Prevention and Advocacy Division\n\nAbout Parental Advisory:\nToday’s caregivers are raising young people in a world with social media\, high-potency legal cannabis\, vaping devices\, counterfeit or poisoned pills and increasing concerns about youth mental health. Many parents grew up in simpler times\, when warnings and campaigns focused on fears rather than honest conversation.\n\nThe world has changed\, but one thing has not: Young people need trusted adults who listen\, stay informed\, set clear boundaries\, and stand beside them when things get hard.\nParental Advisory is here to help you and your family navigate the modern world of substance use prevention. Visit www.miparentaladvisory.org to find the complete toolkit.

SUMMARY:Performance:On A Winter's Night
DESCRIPTION:Four songwriting greats\, in the round.\n\nPresenting the Reunion Tour of “On A Winter’s Night” from veteran singer-songwriters that remain among the brightest stars of the singer-songwriter movement for the past three decades. In 1994 Christine Lavin gathered them together\, along with folk and Americana artists to showcase music of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD\, followed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades\, with fond memories of their touring days together. The winter season is again celebrated by these unique and popular performers\, back together by popular demand. \n\nPATTY LARKIN She redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics and vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her\, “soundscape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her\, “evocative and sonic shading.” She has been described as\, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune)\, “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly)\, and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter). Recently an Artist-in-Residence at Berklee College of Music – and now on the faculty at Fine Arts Work Center – Larkin reflects\, “I have been energized by the poets\, writers\, and artists I have met while teaching\, and find myself on a journey to break down some of the predictable pathways that songs can travel.” Bird in a Cage\, her 14th CD now available\, puts poems from ten notable poets to song\, including US Poet Laureates William Carlos Williams\, Stanley Kunitz\, Kay Ryan\, Robert Pinsky\, and Billy Collins\, for a new and haunting collection that pulses with the magic of lyricism. Poems are made to be shared aloud\, and with Bird\, Patty takes up that tradition and sets it aglow.\n\nCLIFF EBERHARDT One of the most original songsmiths currently on tour\, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist whose penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond and Richie Havens\, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditional and contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s out on tour solo or with a small band\, Eberhardt’s guitar playing\, singing\, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling\, thought-filled\, emotional roller coaster of a concert. \n\nJOHN GORKA Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the leading singer-songwriter of the New Folk movement\,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk scene. Originally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival\, in 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he released his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know. Boston Globe penned Gorka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative originality of his songs.” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Project’s Best Singer-Songwriter CD of the Year for Before Beginning (Red House Records). 2018 brought his latest release\, and 14th of his career\, True In Time (Compass Records). True In Time (Compass Records).\n\nLUCY KAPLANSKY “A truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs” (New York Times). Blending country\, folk and pop styles\, Lucy has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh\, whether singing her own sweet originals\, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons\, or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic voice has been featured in film and on television\, including commercials like Chevrolet’s iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charting singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records\, she has topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers\, Lucy has sung on countless records\, performing with Suzanne Vega\, Bryan Ferry\, Nanci Griffith\, and Shawn Colvin.

SUMMARY:Performance:This Is The Kit
DESCRIPTION:“her music is like a pretty country house with all manner going on below stairs” –The Guardian\n\nIn today's fast-paced mid-apocalyptic world it can feel like a waste of time to speak about time at all. Why dwell on the past when we could just live in the present because the future won't shut up about how bad it's going to be?\n \nBut with This is the Kit aka Kate Stables (songwriter / banjo strummer / pinhole camera lover / Winchester UK born Paris dweller)\, we're going to have to give time just a modicum of consideration. Because not only is Kate still here and making albums of cataclysmic honesty and welcoming tonal embraces\, they are continuing to grow\, which is probably the only smart way to move forward through time.\n \nThis Is The Kit's music places companionship at a premium\, so being welcomed into its space feels like an obvious privilege\, on record and in concert hall with her stellar supporting cast of Rozi Plain (bass)\, Jamie Whitby-Coles (drums) and Neil Smith (guitar).  And at this current point in our confusing history\, continuing to be here at all\, to stand tall and make music to gather to\, that's a heroic act. Joyful survival as an act of time-wasting\,  I'll take that any day of the week. Look to This Is The Kit to spend at least one day of your week this year\, I guarantee it will be time well wasted.
