SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Addressing Discrimination in the Asian Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:This event is intended for K-14 Educators.\n\nFree to participate via Zoom!\n\nJust fill out the Google Form: https://bit.ly/umicheastasia21\n\nWhat are the Asian and Asian-American discrimination issues that students\, teachers\, and individuals are struggling to understand in today’s globalized world? How do teachers interweave the politics of immigration into world history and civics curriculum?  What makes a place a home for someone\, and how do we build on the storyscapes of the under-written histories of anti-Asian racism and Asian-American identity?\n\nRemoving the screen from “over there\,” experts in Area and Asian-American studies will explore identity\, immigration and nationality and provide a discussion forum for applying these ideas into classroom use.  Content covered will include snapshots from mid-19th century-20th century histories of China\, Japan and Korea\; the push-pull factors for immigration\; exclusionary immigration policies\; and the nuances of Asian American identity.  Insights will be made into Asian-ness as well as “Asian-Americanness\,” with one of the takeaways being the “hyphen\" in hyphenated ethnicities\, the middle ground to individuality and self.\n\nFORMAT:\n\nA virtual learning event through morning mini-talks followed by conversation/Q&A and an afternoon collaborative discussion forum bracketed according to grade level. \n\nSuggestions for pre-workshop reading will be available. \n\nResources and books available through the U-M Books for Peaceful Purposes Grant.\n\nLooking forward to another amazing interactive day of knowledge\, expertise and networking... the outreach team at TVI East Asia Centers\, University of Michigan

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibt runs through December 12\, 2021.\n\nMaking art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project\, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some\, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration\, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.\n\nMartín Vargas\, artist and curator of this exhibition\, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work\, but also during select Art Lab studio hours\, which will feature several of the artists working in person.\n\nConnections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas\, Vanessa Mayesky\, Scott Tompkins\, Nico Slowik\, Kimiko Uyeda\, and Jenna VanFleteren.

SUMMARY:Performance:14th Annual Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:Proof of COVID vaccination required for entry. By purchasing a ticket you agree that you and your guests will comply with all laws\, orders\, ordinances\, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by the State of Michigan\, the County of Washtenaw and The Ark\, including any guidelines in place at the time of the show. Attendees who do not comply will be asked to leave. Policies will be updated as circumstances and requirements change in our community. Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show. \n\nIt happens in the middle of Michigan in the heart of December. Since 2007\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. \"Ebird\"is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together\, and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered\, and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including Ragbirds' original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon and it shows no signs of slowing down.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:U-M Chamber Choir and UMMA present: Considering Matthew Shepard on DPTV channel 56
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register: http://www.dptv.org/livetv/?cmpgn=urhc.\n \nCon­sid­er­ing Matthew Shep­ard is an evoca­tive and com­pas­sion­ate musi­cal response to the bru­tal mur­der of Matthew Shep­ard in 1998\, one of America’s most noto­ri­ous anti-gay hate crimes. Shepard’s tragic death ulti­mately led to the cre­ation of the Matthew Shep­ard Foun­da­tion and pro­vided a cat­a­lyst for leg­is­la­tion that expanded the def­i­n­i­tion of a hate crime to include sex­ual ori­en­ta­tion. In 2009\, Con­gress passed the Matthew Shep­ard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Pre­ven­tion Act. Com­poser Craig Hella John­son had a pro­foundly per­sonal reac­tion to both the mur­der and its res­o­nance. The Shep­ard fam­ily and Foun­da­tion engaged with John­son to cre­ate the Grammy-nom­i­nated ora­to­rio\, Con­sid­er­ing Matthew Shep­ard\, which draws from frag­ments of Shepard’s per­sonal diary. \n \nIn Novem­ber 2021\, the U‑M School of Music\, The­atre & Dance and UMMA cre­ated filmed a live performance of the U‑M Cham­ber Choir per­form­ing the ora­to­rio under the direc­tion of award win­ning con­duc­tor Eugene Rogers\, acclaimed stage direc­tor Matt Kunkel\, and Emmy-award win­ning film pro­ducer Bob Berg\, with pianist Scott VanOr­num\, pro­duc­tion designer Har­ri­son Hof­fert\, and nar­rated by Priscilla Lind­say. The live per­for­mance was pre­sented as part of the UMMA exhi­bi­tion Oh honey…A queer read­ing of the col­lec­tion and the 50th anniver­sary of the U‑M Spec­trum Center. \n \nTune in to Detroit Public Television channel 56 to see the film of the performance. It will also be available online through DPTV.org. \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\nMedia Sponsor: Between The Lines/Pridesource
