SUMMARY:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 21 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Performance:Baird Carillon Rededication Recital
DESCRIPTION:Experience the return of the landmark 53-bell Charles Baird Carillon\, which went silent this summer for replacement of the 30 largest clappers as well as a restoration of the great steel frame from which the 43 tons of bells are suspended. Guest artist Jonathan Lehrer\, University Carillonist of Grand Valley State University and Michigan State University\, will perform the rededication recital\, beginning with the first full performance of \"The Victors\" on the Baird Carillon since the 2017 U-M Bicentennial as a duet with U-M University Carillonist Tiffany Ng. \"The Victors\" will also be livestreamed to SMTD's YouTube channel.\n\nLehrer's program includes \"To The Sun\,\" an interactive 10-minute performance for carillon and audience cell phones celebrating data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe. The U-M Frankel Detroit Observatory will coordinate a solar observation station at the base of the carillon throughout the recital\, weather permitting. Their solar telescope provides magnificent views of sunspots\, prominences\, and more.\n\nThe outdoor audience listening space is Ingalls Mall\, and listeners are advised to dress for the weather. Tours of the bell chamber will begin after the conclusion of the recital around 4:00 pm. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs\, and is not ADA accessible.\n\n*This event is supported by an Arts Initiative Project Support (AIPS) grant.*\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nJON LEHRER is the sixth University Carillonist of Michigan State University and the second University Carillonist of Grand Valley State University. A laureate of five international competitions for carillon (including the Queen Fabiola\, the Nederlandse Klokkenspel Vereniging\, and the Alexius Julien Baroque competitions)\, he is now a prolific soloist on the global stage\, with a CV that includes touring overseas on behalf of the Canada Council for the Arts\, teaching masterclasses at Universities across the nation\, and performing hundreds of shows on the North American renaissance festival circuit. Jon studied carillon with Geert D’Hollander\, Eddy Marien\, Koen Cosaert\, and Ellen Dickenson and holds degrees from Yale University and the Royal Carillon School of Belgium. Having recently retired from data science and cancer research\, he is focused on creating moments of beauty for busy university communities\, growing the carillon art\, and helping to train the next generation of expressive carillon virtuosi. Jon lives in Michigan with his partner Christy and their two cat-café adoptees\, Henry and Juliet.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter
DESCRIPTION:As people working in the humanities and the arts\, we know our work matters–to our fields\, to our disciplines\, and to society. We have seen how the arts and humanities transform perception\, provide expertise\, and help people grapple with the biggest questions about what it means to be human and to live in an increasingly interconnected\, yet often divided world. And\, in both the arts and humanities\, we know UM faculty are contributing to their disciplines in deeply meaningful ways. \n\nYet\, for all we know about these positive effects\, arts and humanities research is often imagined to be at odds with the metric-driven language of “impact”--a term often seen as imposed from fields outside the arts and humanities. At the same time\, “impact” has become the dominant framework for measuring the value of academic research. As a result\, arts and humanities faculty are often called upon to describe our “impact” in ways that are legible to University leadership and funding imperatives\, even as we feel uneasy about how to answer such calls in ways that are authentic to our work. How do we avoid finding ourselves outside terms that are increasingly important in the fight for the continued growth and resilience of higher education in the U.S?\n\n“What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter” is a series of events slated for October 29 & 30 on UM’s Ann Arbor campus. A joint initiative of the UM Arts Initiative\, Office of Vice President of Research (OVPR)\, and the Institute for Humanities\, the gathering will serve arts and humanities faculty seeking more ways to discuss their work in terms that are legible within the ascendant impact paradigm\, while also ensuring that those terms are authentic to our disciplines\, methods\, and creative practice. Through a public conversation\, facilitated workshop\, keynote from UM leadership\, and a panel with funders\, the 1.5 day long event will bring together experts–those engaging “impact” in their research\, those in leadership\, and those community partners with whom we work–and put them in conversation with arts and humanities leadership and researchers at the University of Michigan. In addition to allowing our communities to come together to elaborate what “impact” means on our terms\, this event is also designed to help humanities and arts faculty recognize how they could become more competitive in University grant opportunities\, including the Strategic Initiative Fund\, the Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) program\, Humanities Institute Fellowship\, and a range of other internal and external funding initiatives.\n\nThursday\, October 29\, 4:30-6:30\nWhat Works Now: arts and humanities advocacy in the impact paradigm \nPendleton Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor) \na public discussion about making the best case for the arts and humanities with leading voices\, including \nProfessor Jill Dolan\, Annan Professor Emeritus of English\, Princeton University\nArtist\, Curator\, and Organizer Ryan Myers-Johnson\, Executive Director and Founder of Sidewalk Detroit\nProfessor Shelome Gooden\, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research in the Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences and Related Fields\, University of Pittsburgh\nJennifer Rupp\, President & CEO\, Michigan Humanities\n\nFriday\, October 30\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n9-11:30\n“Impact” in Our Own Words: a workshop for arts and humanities faculty\nArts and humanities faculty bring current project ideas and experiment with ways of discussing “impact” \n\n11:30: Lunch served\n\n12-12:45: Keynote lunch talk with Vice Provost for Arts & Humanities Sara Blair\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n1-2:30\nMaking the Case: Funders on Arts and Humanities Impact\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\nHear from internal and external funders on how “impact” plays a role in their granting process

SUMMARY:Performance:Korean Performing Arts Initiative | 유일한 Ilhan New: His Life in Music and Story - Featuring Original Songs by Lisa Sung
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening of music and storytelling celebrating the remarkable life of Ilhan New\, a Korean American entrepreneur\, philanthropist\, and University of Michigan alum. This musical performance is presented in conjunction with the Nam Center for Korean Studies’ international conference\, “Transpacific Lives in an American Century: Ilhan New as Method\,” exploring New’s life and legacy across Korea and the United States.\n\nBorn in Pyongyang\, New came to the United States at a young age and grew up in the Midwest.

In 1922\, he co-founded La Choy with his Michigan friend Wally Smith. Returning to Korea in 1926\, he established Yuhan Corporation\, a pharmaceutical company that reflected his commitment to public health and social responsibility. During and after World War II\, New also contributed to Korea’s independence efforts and the rebuilding of the nation through education\, philanthropy\, and public health initiatives. His life offers a compelling lens through which to explore migration\, identity\, entrepreneurship\, and the enduring connections between Korea and the United States.\n\nFeaturing original songs by Lisa Sung\, this performance brings New’s extraordinary story to life through music and narrative\, inviting audiences to reflect on the personal experiences and historical forces that shaped his legacy.\n\nPerformers\n- Lisa Sung — Composer and piano\n- Jeong Min Huh — Tenor\n- Brynn Hilliker — Bass\n- Cecilia Fornuto — Soprano\n- Harrison McComb — Saxophone/Flute\n- Nicholas Classen — Trombone\n- Max Wetterlen — Drums\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu.

DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 21 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Autumn in Verse: A Poetry Workshop W/ Caroline Harper New
DESCRIPTION:Join us for \"Art in the Arb\"\, a special workshop series designed to welcome U-M students\, staff\, and faculty to Nichols Arboretum through a shared arts experience. In this poetry workshop\, artist Caroline Harper New will guide us through a series of writing meditations that ask us to reflect on our relationship to the natural world. We will think about time\, memory\, and seasons of transition\, as well as the ways in which we become entangled with the beings around us. You will have the opportunity to read poems by others and share our own work. Everyone is encouraged to explore Nichols Arboretum before or after the workshop. No prior art or writing experience is required\; all levels are welcome.  All materials are provided. Bring your curiosity and love for the outdoors!\n\nArtist Bio:\nCaroline is a scholar and artist from southwest Georgia. She is the author of A History of Half-Birds (Milkweed Editions\, 2024) and If I Call This Cave a Garden (YesYes Books\, forthcoming 2027).\n\nHer creative work is rooted in the precarious landscape of the Gulf Coast\, where her practice spans poetry\, sculpture\, painting\, film\, choreography\, and the tendons in between. As a Ph.D. student in anthropology\, she studies in beyond-human entanglements\, ruptures in temporality\, and death and extinction in wetlands. She earned her M.F.A. in Poetry at the University of Michigan.\n\nLocation details: \nThis session takes place at the entrance to Nichols Arboretum located at 1610 Washington Heights.  Upon entering the Arb\, look for the James D. Reader Center\, a large white farmhouse. Follow the ramp or stairs to the main entrance with the green door.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Don't Let The Sun\": Chamber Choir & University Choir
DESCRIPTION:WORLD PREMIERE\n\nComposer Theodore Wiprud and librettist Richard Wesley have created an oratorio examining a widespread expression of racism in America\, documented in the landmark book *Sundown Towns* by the late sociologist and historian James Loewen.\n\nConducted by Director of University Choirs Eugene Rogers\, *Don’t Let the Sun*\, for chorus\, vocal soloists\, and orchestra\, will run approximately 90 minutes (plus intermission). It tells the story of “sundown towns” where residents drove out or actively excluded specific groups from residing there (from being in a town after sunset) through ordinances\, signs\, and acts of violence. Sundown towns excluded Black people\, and in some cases\, Chinese Americans\, Jewish people\, Native Americans\, Latinas/os and other racialized groups. Since the 19th century these towns have been prevalent throughout the U.S. and especially in the Midwest\, West\, and East.\n\nThese policies did not completely disappear over time. The attitudes that drove them morphed into housing “covenants\,” redlining\, discrimination within the post-war FHA and discrimination in the granting of bank loans. The results of these decisions and policies haunt our country to this very day. *Don’t Let the Sun* will shine a light on this difficult chapter in America’s ever-expanding history\, and help audiences engage productively with “hard” histories.\n\nMr. Loewen’s *Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism* is the definitive history of these phenomena. Another source is the “History and Social Justice” website launched by Dr. Loewen\, which has had nearly one million visitors over the last three years\, and continues to amass cases and first-hand accounts. Librettist Richard Wesley’s text is inspired by the voices of individuals impacted by sundown towns and more recent policies\, examining the harm experienced by both the excluded and the excluders\; and recent efforts by many sundown towns to reckon with their past and shape a better future.\n\n*\"Don't Let the Sun\" was commissioned with support from an Arts Initiative Project Support (AIPS) grant\, an Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) grant\, the U-M Brehm Choral Commissioning Fund and generous support from the Department of History\, the Department of American Culture\, and the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.*\n\n–––\n*Parking / Traffic alert for attendees:*\nhttps://smtd.umich.edu/2026-construction\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS\n\nTHEODORE WIPRUD is a composer\, an educator\, and a researcher on the musical community’s work toward equity and inclusion. Many of his works address social issues\, including vocal works like *American Journal* (Robert Hayden) and *A Georgia Song* (Maya Angelou)\; and orchestral works like his Violin Concerto *“Katrina”\; Wind of Many Voices*\, responding to the troubled history of South Dakota\; and a second Violin Concerto *“on the brink”* exploring climate grief and climate action.  \n\nRICHARD WESLEY is a playwright and screenwriter whose many plays deal with social-historical moments. He wrote the libretto for Anthony Davis’ Pulitzer Prize-winning opera *Central Park Five*. Mr. Wesley has received numerous awards including the NAACP Image Award for Best Picture (for *Uptown Saturday Night*) and the National Black Theater Festival’s August Wilson Playwright Award. He teaches at New York University.

SUMMARY:Performance:“Small Dance Party” – MFA Thesis Dance Concert by Kei Tsuruharatani
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance presents *Small Dance Party* by Master of Fine Arts in Dance candidate Kei Tsuruharatani. This event is an immersive performance installation that shifts the focus of dance from exterior virtuosity to interior listening. An improvisational score will be performed at 6:45 pm and 7:45 pm. Guests are invited to come and go whenever during those two hours.\n\n*Small Dance Party* investigates the intersection of trans/queer studies and dance studies by centering softness\, attunement\, and the ordinary as radical sites of inquiry. While acknowledging the highly virtuosic performances often found in queer communities\, this project offers an alternative: a queer dance space that values quiet listening to the body and the environment. By framing dance as an art of attention in space and time\, the installation turns toward the mundane movements of everyday life. Outside the bounds of traditional entertainment\, dance becomes a critical\, living lens to examine transness – revealing the internal movement that happens while transitioning.\n\nDuring the event\, with music composition by Molly Jones\, participants and observers are invited into a shared meditative space. The installation asks attendees to yield control: rather than commanding the body\, participants are invited to listen to what the body has to say. By engaging with the rhythm of the internal body\, the sway of gravity\, and the expansion of breath\, *Small Dance Party* creates a deeply somatic environment for queering body\, movement\, and stillness.\n\nThis project is being held in partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts in Dance degree requirements. It was made possible by support from the Department of Dance\, William Braddan McClellan\, Jr. Fund in Dance\, Excel Lab & Career Center\, SMTD Wellness Program\, Eisenberg Family Depression Center\, and the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.
