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:Lecture / Discussion:Japanese Medical Aid\, Iranian Blood\, and the Diplomacy of Genetic Racialism
DESCRIPTION:In 1966\, Japan’s Overseas Technical Cooperation Agency (OTCA) established an office for “medical cooperation\,” which recruited Japanese medical schools to participate in international aid projects to strengthen scientific\, as well as political\, ties with countries across Asia and Africa. Gifu University Medical School was selected to work in Iran\, launching a flow of Japanese personnel and scientific equipment to the laboratories of Tehran University. While Iranian scientists were primarily interested in receiving technical aid\, Japanese scientists were eager to conduct joint fieldwork projects. The organization of a joint expedition to northern Iran in 1972 exposed a series of tensions in the Japanese-Iranian collaboration. The team eventually collected blood samples from thousands of Iranian villagers to screen them for pathologies. Then\, most of these blood samples were shipped to Japan\, where they had a surprising afterlife. Circulating through laboratories in Tokyo\, Nagasaki\, and Osaka\, the Iranian blood was incorporated into a research project to analyze genetic variation within Japan’s own population\, and data from the samples featured in Japanese publications hypothesizing about the origins of the Japanese race. Meanwhile\, in publications with Iranian co-authors\, the meaning of the genetic data had to be re-negotiated according to Iranian understandings of racial identity.\n\nElise K. Burton is an associate professor for the Institute of the History & Philosophy of Science & Technology at the University of Toronto. She is the author of Genetic Crossroads: The Middle East and the Science of Human Heredity (Stanford University Press\, 2021). She is currently working on multiple projects examining the history of 20th-century scientific collaborations across Asia and the Middle East\, including the history of Japanese archaeological and genetic expeditions in West Asia\, the linked histories of physical anthropology in India and Iran\, and the history of ancient DNA studies in Egypt. She is also one of the co-editors of Isis\, the flagship journal of the History of Science Society.
