SUMMARY:Exhibition:Otsi’tsistó:sera - Native Plants and Planting Songs at the Carillon (Multimedia installation and Open House)
DESCRIPTION:The sonic/ecological exhibition *Otsi’tsistó:sera* takes its name from a new carillon composition by Dawn Avery\, a composer of Mohawk descent\, based on planting songs that Haudenosaunee women of the turtle clan sing to the seeds and plants as they grow their gardens. During this two-day “open house\,” visitors may enter the carillon all day and experience a belfry filled with music by Indigenous women and lush with native plants in both organic and virtual forms. Open 12-6pm.\n\nExplore the ecology of local native plants and keystone species and their Indigenous significance\, discover visual remnants of Michigan’s pre-logging forests\, and hear Avery’s *Otsi’tsistó:sera* as well as piano and carillon performances of Beverley McKiver’s *Canadian Floral Emblems* during live carillon concerts and at an on-demand listening station.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Organizations across sectors made anti-racist commitments. Where are we now?
DESCRIPTION:Strategies and programs were developed. Task forces and committees were created. What are the outcomes of these efforts so far? \n\nCatalytic moments such as the COVID pandemic\, the murder of George Floyd\, and the racial justice movements highlight the need to address systems of oppression that continue to disadvantage and harm communities of color. Organizations across sectors made commitments to adopt anti-racist strategies and dismantle systems. Join a discussion with scholars and community partners on the challenges and opportunities of anti-racism commitments and efforts. \n\nThis event is based on the special issue: Are Anti-Racism Efforts Having an Impact in Organizations and Communities? published by the Currents: Journal of Diversity Scholarship for Social Change. \n\nSPEAKERS\n\n-Claudia E. Cohen (President\, Third Alternative\, LLC)\n-Rev. Vernon Williams (Anti-Racism Committee member\; Assistant Pastor\, Fountain Baptist Church)\n-Whitney Peoples (Director of Diversity\, Equity\, & Inclusion\, U-M School of Public Health)\n-Charlyn Vandeventer (Health Equity Manager\, Washtenaw County Health Department)\n-Robert Sellers (Professor of Psychology and Education\, University of Michigan)\n-Lynn Wooten (President\, Simmons University)
