SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Aviram Reichert Piano Master Class
DESCRIPTION:Guest pianist Aviram Reichert (Seoul National University) will present a master class for talented students from the SMTD piano performance programs. \n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nAcclaimed for his deeply intelligent interpretations\, phenomenal technique and ravishing tone – AVIRAM REICHERT won the Bronze Medal at the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1997\, after winning several major competitions in Japan\, Korea\, France\, and Germany. His accomplishments brought him numerous concert engagements in the Asia\, the United States\, South Africa\, Europe and Israel where he has been earning immense applause for 30 years.\n\nFollowing a performance of Brahms’s first piano concerto and Manuel de Falla’s evocative *Nights in the Gardens of Spain* with the Grand Rapids Symphony under the baton of David Lockington\, Reichert was described as “a big player with all the tension of a coiled spring suddenly unsprung….He has heft and he has poetry.” With over 30 concerti in his repertoire Reichert performs frequently with leading orchestras in the USA\, Israel\, Japan\, Korea and South Africa. He has been regularly featured artist at Durango’s Music in the Mountains festival\, performing concerti and chamber music for over 25 years.\n\nReichert has performed throughout the United States\, Israel\, South Africa\, Asia\, and in Europe\, where an appearance at the Herkules-Saal in Munich elicited an enthusiastic “ovation” and high critical praise. Festival performances include the Ruhr and Epinal Music Festivals\, Tokyo Summer Festival\, Seoul Spring Festival\, Bear Valley CA\, Durango and Steamboat Springs CO\, Ravinia Festival\, the Fontana and the Gilmore Keyboard Festivals. A fine chamber musician\, he has collaborated with artists such as Anne Akiko Meyers\, Maya Beiser\, Guy Braunstein\, Yuri Gandelsman\, Vadim Gluzman\, Dylana Jenson\, Bill Purcell and Philippe Quint.\n\nReichert can be heard on a Harmonia Mundi CD featuring highlights of his prize-winning solo performances at the Van Cliburn Competition\, a Jerusalem Music Center label (JMC) featuring Schubert sonatas\, a Mozart concerti CD with the Music in the Mountains Festival Orchestra\, conducted and performed from the keyboard. He has also recorded Gershwin’s *Rhapsody in Blue* with the Spectrum Brass\, Brahms cello sonatas with Young Hoon Song and Brahms clarinet sonatas and songs with Ron Selka.\n\nIn addition to his busy concert career\, Reichert is a sought-after teacher\, who is frequently invited to conduct masterclasses in Japan\, China\, Korea\, South Africa\, France\, Israel and the United States.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Becoming Sensitive: The Pedagogy of Smelling and the Environmental Politics of Sensitivity
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines how different social and technological bodies—including e-waste workers\, environmental scientists\, and E-noses—perceive and engage with the pervasive toxic smell in Guiyu\, an e-waste recycling hub in China severely affected by the chemical pollution produced through e-waste processing. The residual smell of crude e-waste recycling practices functions as a sensory modality that traces the environmental violence of the global e-waste economy. It exemplifies what I call \"\"secondhand extraction\"\": a form of extraction within the recycling economy that not only generates but also mediates an alternative\, secondary\, yet equally powerful set of material\, environmental\, and political relations.\n\nI argue that the concept of environmental sensitivity is key to understanding both the lived experience of chemical saturation and China’s model of environmental governance as it takes on distinct meanings across contexts. On the one hand\, it refers to a subjective\, bodily quality—the degree of sensitivity of one’s olfactory faculties. On the other\, it operates as a scientific metric for measuring a community’s vulnerability to environmental hazards\, which in turn shapes the state distribution of land use and ownership. To grasp the complexities of local environmental politics in China\, we must understand how these two layers of sensitivity\, bodily and bureaucratic\, intertwine paradoxically.\n\nTinghao Zhou is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Michigan Society of Fellows and Assistant Professor of Film\, Television\, and Media at the University of Michigan. He received his Ph.D. in Film and Media Studies from the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His research focuses on the intersections of media theory\, environmental humanities and justice\, science and technology studies\, critical infrastructure studies\, and digital cultures in China and beyond. His current book project\, _At the Ends of Media_\, explores the material and political impacts of the global media economy on local communities\, labor conditions\, and ecologies. He currently serves as Associate and Review Editor of _Media+Environment_.
