Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
2025-08-26 09:00 - 20:00 (America/Detroit) | Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room (1st floor)
We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. 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.

Rainbows 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.

Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:
Sunday, 2-8pm
Monday-Thursday, 9am-8pm
Friday, 9am-4pm

Exhibition:Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Linocuts by Meredith Stern
2025-08-26 09:00 - 16:30 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th floor
Fifteen linocuts, each representing an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, show artist Meredith Stern's interpretation of these articles.

Originally drafted in 1948 by representatives from across the globe, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights outlines 30 rights that the United Nations General Assembly asserts should be protected worldwide. This declaration has been translated into 500 languages.

In 2017, the Joseph A. Labadie Collection acquired one of only 28 printed sets of Stern's linocuts. To see the complete set of 30 linocuts, request this item from the Joseph A. Labadie Collection (https://myumi.ch/4mJJd) for viewing in the Special Collections Research Center.

Exhibition:Beyond Survival
2025-08-26 10:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location - Graphics Gallery
Join us for Beyond Survival, an exhibition of works by incarcerated artists in Michigan presented by PCAP co-founder Janie Paul and the Flint Institute of the Arts. The exhibit opens May 30th and runs through September 14th.

The pieces span nearly 30 years, many of them having been featured in our Annual Exhibition.

"Through drawings, paintings, and sculptures made with simple materials, artists expose the harsh realities of incarceration while imagining life beyond prison. These works reveal a longing for home and family, joy and beauty, connections to nature, flights of the imagination, and journeys toward freedom—acts of creation made despite and in direct response to carceral conditions."

Workshop / Seminar:Shining Light on a Statistical Dark Age: Postal Activity in Antebellum America
2025-08-26 14:30 - 15:50 | Lorch Hall - 201
American economic historians generally believe US modern economic growth began before 1840, was broadly based (not driven by a single activity such as cotton cultivation or the railroad), and the acceleration was gradual (rather than a sudden takeoff). These claims are treated as conjectures rather than solid conclusions because the census did not publish good economic data before 1840. But the earlier period was not a "statistical dark age," as sometimes asserted. From 1817 on, systematic statistics on postal activity are available at the local level at high frequencies. This paper assembles these data and asks what we can learn.
