They take the singer-songwriter tradition to a new level by crafting original songs which are emotive\, meticulously arranged\, and inspired by a world of idiosyncratic influences that never let a dull or predictable moment creep in.\n\nBuffalo Rose's lineup of Lucy Clabby (vocals)\, Margot Jezerc (vocals)\, Bryce Rabideau (mandolin)\, Malcolm Inglis (dobro)\, Jason Rafalak (upright bass)\, and Shane McLaughlin (guitar\, vocals) pushes itself and each other far beyond their perceived limits and blends their diverse and atypical approach to songwriting with the desire to see how unique a song can get and still feel like home. They use powerful vocal harmonies\, strong playing\, and an original vision to operate at every possible emotional level and put on dynamic live shows that are unforgettable experiences. They go from up and moving to sad and sweet and back again\, bringing the entire audience along.\n​\nThis combination of artistry and enthusiasm makes Buffalo Rose one of the most vital and important groups working today. Rather than play the folk music of the past\, the band gleefully combines genres and ideas together to move acoustic music forward to a new\, contemporary place without ever losing sight of its roots. Fans of Lake Street Dive\, Nickel Creek\, and Punch Brothers will find much to like in this crew. Anyone seeking compelling new acoustic music needs to join Buffalo Rose in the future right now.

Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm UID:134798-21875222@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134798 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room (1st floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250407T111911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250801T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250801T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carlo Vitale Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621662@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250718T162436 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250801T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250801T123000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Reconstruction\, simulation\, and analysis of large-scale neuronal connectivity of the mouse brain DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nRecent advances in spatial transcriptomics and connectomics are mapping out neurons in the mouse brain with increasing precision. However\, computational models have yet to fully leverage these data. This thesis presents multiple projects that bridge this gap by integrating multimodal data to analyze\, model\, and simulate large-scale neuronal dynamics in the mouse brain.\n\nFirst\, we introduce a network-generating algorithm that reconstructs microscopic brain connectivity by combining the molecular and spatial profile of neurons with mesoscopic projection data. A GPU-powered simulation platform is then constructed to simulate a computational model\, incorporating connectivity developed in conjunction with a detailed neuronal electrophysiology model.\n\nSecondly\, we validated the model by simulating the spatiotemporal dynamics of the mouse cortex in response to sensory stimuli\, successfully reproducing realistic patterns of cortical activity. Building on this\, we then examined the emergence of macroscopic traveling waves in the mouse cortex. The model successfully generated realistic traveling waves\, and we developed computational techniques to quantify their properties in the 3-D computational domain. We discovered that realistic connectivity promotes higher and more flexible macroscopic traveling waves compared to artificially constructed local or uniform networks. The level of macroscopic waves also depends non-monotonically on the coupling strength between neurons in the network and is most prominent during slow oscillations in the delta frequency band (0.5–4 Hz)\, which is an electrophysiological hallmark of sleep. Extending this work\, we also modeled how brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) induces synaptic changes in the cortical network that modulate local sleep activity. \n\nLastly\, with our experimental collaborators\, we developed an experimental-computational pipeline to map and analyze the most active neurons and networks in the mouse brain at different times of the day. Using activity-dependent genetic labeling\, light-sheet imaging\, machine learning segmentation\, and spatial transcriptomic matching\, we find distinct region- and layer-specific activation patterns of neurons in the mouse brain\, especially increased activity in layer 5 of the cortex during wakefulness. We also observe a dynamic shift in excitatory/inhibitory balance across the brain. We then defined a new computational method that introduces the \textit{active connectivity}\, which shows a reorganization of network hubs from subcortical to cortical regions during the wake period.\n\nTogether\, these studies contribute to the computational infrastructure that interfaces with multiscale\, multimodal data for next-level analysis\, modeling\, and simulation of the neuronal dynamics in the mouse brain.

At a time when the world is deeply divided\, when diverse perspectives and experiences are being weaponized by fear\, Nickleson’s paintings meticulously build another world - one mark\, one brush stroke at a time. Layering colors and mark-making that draw on prehistoric forms and symbols\, Nickleson seeks a new futurity that acknowledges the losses\, and co-existence that build on our differences and commonalities. Sara has been consistently building her visual vocabulary and we are excited to see where she will go next.” \nEnvision: The 2025 Michigan Artist Initiative is curated by Srimoyee Mitra with the assistance of Joe Rohrer.

Across ten warmly combative tracks\, she fights for grace and connection amidst the anxieties\, desires\, heartbreaks\, and joie de vivre of being young in America’s heartland. Tracks like “Whitefish Bay” and “The Prettiest Things” echo the forests and waters of the Upper Peninsula and the bluegrass and folk influences Ani grew up immersed in\, while title track “Girlfriend” triangulates her current temperature somewhere between Liz Phair\, Waxahachee\, and Ratboys. Comparisons\, however\, always fall short. Compelling\, humming\, and hungry\, Ani’s indie-folk songwriting is 100% her own\, and definitely not to be missed.\n\nNorth Ingalls is a seven-piece indie folk-groove sound. All members of the band hail from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and met through the School of Music. The original music of North Ingalls is a vibrant patchwork of seven unique individual sounds\, each coming together to celebrate and reflect their personal experiences. The band has gained a devoted following for its deeply honest and detailed narrative lyrics\, brought to life by their emotionally raw vocals and rich\, full-bodied sound.

Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

Young Faizah\, excited for the first day of school with her new backpack and light-up shoes\, is especially thrilled because it’s her older sister Asiya’s first day of hijab. However\, not everyone views Asiya’s beautiful blue hijab with the same admiration.

Along the way Allison has received accolades from international press as well as her peers at home winning Folk Music Ontario's \"Songs From The Heart\" and multiple Canadian Folk Music Award nominations including “Traditional Singer of the Year”.\n\nAllison is now touring her album “Words of Love” joined by Canadian and US Grand National fiddle champion Shane Cook and CFMA Solo Instrumental Artist of the Year and Canadian Grand Master Step Dance champion Kyle Waymouth. Live shows confirm the depth of talent in a glorious mix of beautiful story songs\, electrifying fiddle tunes and dazzling step dance united by the trio’s warm and frequently humourous stage presence. Woven through performances are Allison’s original songs which fit so perfectly into the treasury of folk music that they could easily be mistaken for traditional numbers. \n\nAllison and her trio carry audiences away to another time then dance them home again.

Advances in marine ecosystem technologies\, which include the use of passive acoustic monitoring\, have enabled the Hudson River Reserve to address critical management challenges including understanding how fish species use the estuary\, monitoring species population dynamics of protected and endangered animals\, and creating engaging communication tools that inspire public stewardship of key fish species. The management of key fish within the estuary is a priority for the Hudson River Reserve\; data deficiencies and critical questions remain for several key species\, particularly related to spatial\, temporal and seasonal patterns of habitat use. To address these needs\, this collaborative research project implemented a passive acoustic monitoring approach that targeted these information gaps within the reserve sites and adjacent estuarine habitats. \n\nIn this webinar\, members of the project team will share findings\, including characterization of a diverse range of soundscapes across latitudinal and salinity gradients along the Hudson River\, and comparisons of sounds from tributary and wetland habitats to those of the main channel of the river. They will also discuss their collaborative approach and how the project has strengthened relationships among regional partners\, students\, and intended users.

They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm UID:134798-21875227@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134798 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room (1st floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250407T111911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250806T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250806T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carlo Vitale Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s.

As Alvin puts it in the liner notes\, those road trips informed the music they made on TexiCali:\n\nFrom one part of the borderland to another\, through concrete swaths of traffic\, tract homes and shopping malls\, across vast rocky deserts of Joshua trees\, saguaros and ocotillo\, speeding by forgotten battlefields\, remote mining towns\, corrido barrooms\, cinder block churches and abandoned houses filled with abandoned dreams\, past Mission San Xavier del Bac\, Cochise’s Stronghold and Apache Pass\, into the shimmering lights of El Paso/Juarez before the seemingly eternal emptiness of West Texas\, traveling those 1\,400 miles somewhere between Nothingness and Everything.

They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm UID:134798-21875228@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134798 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room (1st floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250407T111911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250807T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250807T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carlo Vitale Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s.

Why this intermediate and not its close analog? Why this NP\, optimized for the producer organism’s survival in its ecological niche\, and not a close analog\, optimized for therapeutic use? The vast numbers of options surrounding all possible choices exceed human capacity for evaluation. Our group has begun to make these decisions with the aid of computation. These calculations\, which contain numerous approximations\, are not taken at face value\, but instead subjected to experimental interrogation. If correct\, however\, computational predictions can greatly simplify our choice of reagent\, choice of intermediate (subTGT)\, or even choice of NP target (TGT).

While their 2016 album drew its inspiration from the fusion of traditional Irish music\, French chanson\, and American roots music\, CIRCUS BOY is resolutely more adventurous\, as evidenced by their original compositions as well as by the added punch and sonic elements that were brought to the project by producers Lude and Renson. \n\nWilfried Besse’s vocals are supported as usual by the driving rhythm section of Josselin Fournel (percussion)\, Sébastien Saunié (bass) and Nicolas Besse (guitars)\, and the trad-Irish influence remains evidenced through the whistles of Jacob Fournel\, the bodhran of his brother\, Josselin\, and the nimble accordion playing of Nicolas’ brother\, Wilfried. But CIRCUS BOY represents a more powerful and bigger musical vision for the band\, made possible by the introduction of piano\, drums\, and brass as new sonic elements. That said\, the Irish music tradition is not complete without the presence of a fiddle or two\, and on CIRCUS BOY Doolin’ includes three of the best European fiddlers of the genre: Niahm Gallagher\, Niall Murphy\, and Guilhem Cavaillé\, himself a founding member of the band.

It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm UID:134798-21875229@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134798 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room (1st floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250407T111911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250808T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250808T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carlo Vitale Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s.

Together as members of the original David Grisman Quintet\, The Montreux Band\, Psychograss\, and their Duo - and individually as members of The Turtle Island String Quartet\, Edgar Meyer’s Short Trip Home group\, The Republic of Strings\, and others - it is fair to say they have influenced more than three generations of musicians\, setting up the playing field for groups such as Punch Brothers\, Aoife O’Donovan\, Hawktail\, Sierra Hull\, and generations of jam bands such as The Infamous Stringdusters and Greensky Bluegrass. \n\nDarol and Mike have created their own way of speaking - through their instruments. When discussing the Duo’s live performances\, people often use phrases like “synergy\,” “magical space\,” “sounds like 5 people playing\,” or “space travelers.” Their connection and shared repertoire goes very deep\, developed over 45 years of music-making in a huge variety of music styles and settings.

Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight razor”. \n\nTheir eponymous first album - featuring the Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to PPL’s trademark cowpoke “Sad Luke” - has been hailed as a “major early influence in the emerging popularity of Country-Rock music”. Their second effort\, the multi-platinum “Bustin’ Out” brought us the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”\, along with other gems of the genre. With “Two Lane Highway”\, nine more albums and countless shows\, a legacy has been forged and enriched\, highlighting contributions from several noteworthy members\, including original co-founder George Ed Powell\, Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers\, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill\, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (3 Top-20 singles)\, top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and a host of other guest appearances from Chet Atkins\, Johnny Gimble\, EmmyLou Harris\, David Sanborn\, Eagle Don Felder\, Nicolette Larson\, Rosemary Butler\, Jenifer Wrinkle\, Jeff (Birdman) Kirk\, Mat Britain and many more.\n\nNow in their sixth decade\, Pure Prairie League continues to lead the way for the new generation of Country/Rockers such as Keith Urban\, Nickel Creek\, Wilco\, Counting Crows and so many others that cite PPL as a major influence. \n\nNow\, with the release of their new album “Back On Track” PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs that complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day.
