SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marianetta Porter: Breath\, Fragment\, Return
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Juana Williams\, this exhibition examines how Marianetta Porter uses everyday objects\, fragments\, and embodied memory to make absence an active\, living presence while challenging linear histories. Rooted in African American experience\, her practice treats what is discarded\, overlooked\, or missing not as loss\, but as a source of meaning that continues to act on the present. Through her process and materials\, Porter reveals how memory is carried in the body and embedded in ordinary things. Her work also resists forward-moving notions of time\, instead presenting a diasporic temporality in which past\, present\, and lived experience circulate together through repetition\, touch\, and recall. In doing so\, Porter proposes a vision of history as unfinished\, memory as active\, and absence as a force that sustains connection and shapes the present. \n\nMarianetta Porter is a visual artist and product designer whose research and creative practice are grounded in the study of African American history\, culture\, and representation. Through the language of visual art\, she draws connections between historic memory and contemporary African American life\, giving voice to the history of the African diaspora while acknowledging its central influence on the birth and flourishing of American culture.\n\nHer work has been exhibited nationally at institutions such as the Indianapolis Museum of Art\, the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry\, the Spoleto Festival\, the Harriet Tubman Museum\, and the Hampton University Museum of Art.\n\nShe earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Hampton University and her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. The recipient of numerous awards\, Porter is Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan’s Stamps School of Art and Design.\n\nJuana Williams is a curator and writer whose work explores the intersections of cross-border intellectual history\, cultural memory\, and identity formation as expressed through modern and contemporary art from Africa and its diasporas.\n\nWilliams has held curatorial and academic appointments at organizations including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, Library Street Collective\, Wayne State University\, and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art. Her curatorial projects have been presented at institutions across the United States and France\, including the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, the Muskegon Museum of Art\, Palais de Tokyo (Paris)\, and the Westmoreland Museum of American Art. In addition\, she has presented lectures at various museums and universities and contributed to numerous exhibition catalogs. Her work has been written about in publications such as Artsy\, Beaux Arts Magazine\, Condé Nast Traveller\, Michigan Chronicle\, and Observer. Williams holds a BA in Fine Art and an MA in Art History from Wayne State University.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_June 17\, 2026 (12pm-3pm EST)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test takes approximately three hours in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the first two portions of the test. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.How is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.Where can I view my results? Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking the test. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Please note that only students who are participating in the Spring/Summer orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student\, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 121\, 201\, 221\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 122\, 202\, 222\, 402\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of Standard Arabic (fuSHa).If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Up\, Up\, And Away: A History of Ballooning in America
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit examines the history of balloon flight in the United States from Blanchard’s first ascension to the early twentieth century. In the age of bird’s-eye views\, which imagined a perspective on American cities and towns from high in the air\, balloonists were the only people who actually had the opportunity to see what the growing nation looked like from above. As the nineteenth century progressed\, ballooning became a lucrative (if dangerous) business\, as crowds gathered to watch balloons launch\, and to see aeronauts risk their lives high in the air. Over time\, the image of the hot air balloon proliferated in American print culture\, being used to sell goods ranging from thread to canned beef. We hope that this exhibit conveys some of the thrill that would have come from seeing people fly for the first time.\n\nOn view May 22-August 28\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:You Next
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Duderstadt Center Gallery presents “You Next”\, a duo exhibition by Thede Ambrose and Kate Donoghue\, curated by Nathan Byrne.\n\nOpening: Friday\, May 29th 6-9pm\nClosing: Sunday\, June 28th 2-5pm\n\nArtifacts\, Illusion\, and the Speculative mediate the exchange between Thede Ambrose and Kate Donoghue’s practices.\n\nReferencing both personal and found documentary and advertisement imagery\, Donoghue investigates the vacuous and hauntingly banal underbelly of commercial aspirations\, constructing paintings that collapse expectations of consumerism into innate and corrupted desires.\n\nAmbrose navigates mediated violence\, spirituality\, and the abject\, manifesting in perverse articulations of belief and reality. Imagistic sculpture and installation are generated through an expansive material interest\, and an extensive archive of found imagery.\n\n“You Next” presents the collisions of these practices. Cautionary tales\, dreams\, and fantasies of objectification come to a head in this collaboration between the two artists.\n\nGallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday\, Noon-6pm and Sunday Noon-6 pm

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hann Lecture in Ornithology: “Trait-based Insights into the Dynamics of Biodiversity”
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2026 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS)\, Dr. Marta Jarzyna will give the Hann Lecture in Ornithology. The free\, public talk is titled\, “Trait-based Insights into the Dynamics of Biodiversity.”\n\nJarzyna is an associate professor in the Department of Evolution\, Ecology and Organismal Biology at Ohio State University.\n\nTrait-based ecology has long been heralded as a framework capable of providing mechanistic insight into biodiversity dynamics and thereby enabling predictions of future biodiversity states.\n\nYet despite decades of development\, the promise of trait-based ecology remains largely unrealized.\n\nIn this talk\, the macroecologist and biodiversity scientist will draw on examples from her own research to critically examine where this promise has and has not been fulfilled.\n\nUsing avian systems as a case study\, Jarzyna demonstrates how incorporating functional traits into biodiversity metrics can reveal patterns that traditional species richness measures obscure.\n\nIn particular\, she shows that trait-based approaches uncover seasonal dynamics in bird communities — shifts in functional composition across the year that species counts alone would miss entirely.\n\nThese findings illustrate both the potential of trait-based ecology and the persistent gap between its theoretical ambitions and empirical application.\nJarzyna’s research focuses on understanding the processes that drive biodiversity dynamics across spatial\, temporal\, and taxonomic scales.\n\nShe holds an M.S. in environmental science from Warsaw University of Life Sciences and a dual Ph.D. in fisheries and wildlife and ecology\, evolutionary biology\, and behavior from Michigan State University\, and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world\, advance research and education\, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nFounded in 1909\, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive\, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so the community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.
