Stacey L. Kirby: The Bureau of Personal Belonging (Ann Arbor Edition)
Exhibition Dates: September 27 - November 8, 2025
Opening Performances: September 27, 1-5 p.m.Closing Performances: November 8, 1-5 p.m.
Stacey L. Kirby’s The Bureau of Personal Belonging is a series of interactive performances set within immersive installations and activated by viewer participation. The work fosters dialogue on identity, community, and civil engagement. Through bureaucratic forms, papers, postures, language, and aesthetics, audiences are invited to participate in respectful dialogues and playful interactions with the artist. As the 2025 Roman J. Witt Artist-in-Residence, Kirby spent 12 weeks on campus from January through March of 2025 meeting with students, faculty, and staff from the Stamps School and across U-M. Based on these conversations, Kirby devised a site-specific installation that seeks to amplify the voices of the U-M community, uphold the value of democratic civic engagement, and highlight the power of art in building solidarity and mutual respect.
