SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Birth Joy
DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy. The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:IPAH at 25
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-day conference marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the University of Michigan’s Interdepartmental Program in Ancient History.\n\nThe conference will bring together invited speakers from the University of Michigan alumni community and institutions across North America and Europe to reflect on major transformations in the study of ancient history over the past several decades. Speakers will consider the evolution of their own scholarship and the broader disciplinary shifts that have shaped graduate training\, research methods\, and the expanding horizons of the field.\n\nMORNING SESSION\nRedefining Ancient History: Boundaries\, Connections\, and Scales\n \n9:00-9:30 AM: Brendan Haug\n“Introductory Remarks: Is there a Science of Ancient History?”\n \n9:30-10:15 AM: Nathanael Andrade\n“From ‘Greek and Roman’ to ‘Ancient’: Implications of the Shift”\nThe transformation of the Interdepartmental Program for Greek and Roman History (IPGRH) into the Interdepartmental Program for Ancient History (IPAH) reflects broader changes in how ancient historians conceptualize both their subjects and their discipline. Drawing on my own research\, this paper explores the shifts in approaches to ancient peoples as subjects of empires\, members of confessional communities\, and participants in a connected Afro-Eurasian world\, while considering questions of who has the authority to study and claim their pasts.\n \n10:15-11:00 AM: Denise Demetriou\n“A Connected Ancient Mediterranean World: The Challenges and Rewards of Bridging Disciplinary Divides”\nAdopting a Mediterranean perspective and bridging the traditional disciplinary divide between Classics and Ancient Near Eastern studies can illuminate neglected dimensions of ancient history\, including patterns of population and cultural interaction. This paper reflects on the challenges and rewards of such interdisciplinary approaches and considers their implications for the future direction of the field.\n \n11:00-11:45 AM: Jenn Finn\n“All (Royal) Roads Start in Ann Arbor: The Grammar of Imperial Legitimacy between Classics and Cuneiform Studies”\nAcross four millennia\, rulers from the ancient Near East to Rome appropriated the cultural heritage and monumental landscapes of the past to construct imagined boundaries of imperial authority. Drawing on research that bridges Classics and Assyriology\, this paper examines such practices as a form of soft power fundamental to imperial strategy and legitimacy.\n \n11:45 AM-12:30 PM: Peter Bang\n“Matching the Global with the Local: Ancient History between Macro and Micro”\n \n \nAFTERNOON SESSION\nWriting Ancient Histories: Narratives\, Experiences\, and Contemporary Relevance\n \n2:00-2:45 PM: Cam Grey\n“Social Historians Telling Stories”\nHow do social historians reconcile the particularity of individual anecdotes with the ambitions of grand historical narratives? This paper reflects on the tensions and occasional convergences between these modes of storytelling and considers the kinds of histories we can\, could\, and should construct from disparate forms of evidence.\n \n2:45-3:30 PM: Emily Lamond\n“The Ancient Body in Question”\nRecent scholarship has increasingly approached disability in antiquity not simply as a medical condition but as a culturally constructed category shaped by social expectations and individual circumstances. Moving beyond familiar representations of Roman society as uniformly hostile to disabled bodies\, this paper explores how disability could shape different dimensions of everyday experience and invites historians to reconstruct ancient individuals' relationships with their bodies in richer\, more contextually sensitive ways.\n \n3:30-4:15 PM: Adriaan Lanni\n“Interdisciplinary Approaches to Ancient Law at UM and Beyond: Juries as a Check on Politicized Prosecutions in Athens and Today”\nBuilding on Michigan’s longstanding tradition of interdisciplinary legal history\, this paper explores how comparisons between ancient and modern legal systems can illuminate both Athenian law and contemporary legal problems. Focusing on politically motivated prosecutions in classical Athens\, it argues that Athenian juries exercised a form of prosecutorial discretion rather than simply engaging in jury nullification\, and considers what this comparison might teach us about the potential of modern juries to check politically motivated prosecutions.\n \n4:15-5:00 PM: Katherine Blouin\n“The Moral of the Story: On Doing Ancient History in Times of Collapse”\n\n5:00-5:30 PM: Wrap-up celebration

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Like the flowing river
DESCRIPTION:Artist Tomoyuki Ueno creates individual works and installations where nature appears to be in an endless conversation with form\, one echoing the other\, a repetition. They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 27 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Beyond who knows whom: Three-way social network analysis
DESCRIPTION:Network data involving three roles (e.g.\, sender\, receiver\, and target or perceiver) can be represented as a three-dimensional array. Such three-way networks arise naturally in social science research\, but their analysis poses challenges. Although substantive questions often involve social mechanisms driving network change\, no longitudinal methods for three-way networks currently exist. Moreover\, data collection on three-way networks places a heavy burden on respondents\, so sometimes only partial information is available. This talk presents two methodological contributions that start to address these limitations: a longitudinal model for fully observed three-way network data\, and an inferential framework that uses two-way network data to learn about three-way relations. I will illustrate through applications what new empirical questions these methods enable us to address.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibition | Ancient Abstractions: Roman Visual Trends Beyond Naturalism
DESCRIPTION:The lifelike naturalistic bodies of Greek and Roman sculpture have been a source of wonder since the Renaissance. Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.*
