SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shared Humanity
DESCRIPTION:Beginning Friday\, August 11th\, the exhibit Shared Humanity will be featured at the Greater Flint Arts Council from the Prison Creative Arts Project’s (PCAP) private collection. The artwork is for sale and will be on display through September 1\, 2023.\n\nAccording to Sarah Unrath\, Curator and PCAP's Community Engagement Specialist\, “The exhibition is designed to connect viewers to artists through the wide gamut of their human experiences. We all have dreams\, memories\, goals\, pasts. We all process emotions of anger\, joy\, grief\, and nostalgia. We have specially selected works that show a culmination of ways artists in prison have navigated the complex realities of being human.”\n\nThe curatorial staff at PCAP worked closely with artists who were formerly incarcerated to select works that would fit the theme of this exhibition and be of interest to the broader audience. Visitors will see works from familiar artists\, including Andy Wynkoop\, An ArtsyGuy\, RIK\, Roger (Free-Hand) Stephenson\, and many others.\n\n“This exhibition centralizes intersecting themes and multi-faceted layers of what it means to be human. Our hope is to challenge the lens through which the exhibit audience looks at people in prison. Coming out of a season that has worn us thin of human connection\, this exhibit presents a unique opportunity to engage in powerful dialogue inspired by the art in Shared Humanity\,” says Unrath\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Featured Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Collections Case display in the museum’s main atrium\, behind the mastodons\, to see Nature’s Pharmacy.\n\nAugust 2023–July 2024\n\nPlants and fungi play a vital role in medicine due to the diversity of chemical defense mechanisms they evolved to safeguard them against pathogens\, herbivores\, and competitors. From its inception\, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.
