SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CAS Workshop. 14th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop in Armenian Studies: “The Archive in Theory and Practice in Armenian Studies”
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Armenian Studies’ 14th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop brings together emerging scholars from diverse disciplines to critically engage with the concept of the archive in Armenian Studies. While archival theory often conceptualizes archives as repositories of collective memory\, history\, or knowledge\, this workshop explores both institutional and non-traditional archives\, questioning how they are formed\, preserved\, and accessed. Through an interdisciplinary lens\, participants will examine the role of archives in shaping Armenian history\, cultural identity\, and scholarship\, as well as the limitations and biases inherent in archival practices. By addressing the challenges of archival silences\, displacement\, and the role of digital tools in preservation\, this workshop aims to foster new approaches to archival research.\n\nThe panels will cover a wide range of topics\, including new methods in access and digitization\, materiality and contact within the archive\, the role of state and counter-archives\, and local communities’ preservation practices. Participants will engage with case studies on liturgical hymn organization\, handwritten text recognition\, and digital community archiving\, among other innovative research projects. Additionally\, a special conversation with personal archivist Anahit Toumajan will offer insights into alternative archival practices outside institutional settings. A guided tour of the University of Michigan’s Armenian special collections will provide hands-on engagement with rare books and manuscripts\, further enriching the discussion on archival methodologies and resources.\n\nThe workshop will culminate in a keynote lecture by Dr. Elyse Semerdjian\, whose research on \"embodied archives\" offers a feminist critique of archival practice in Armenian Studies. Her work examines how physical and material remnants\, such as scars and tattooed texts\, function as historical records\, challenging conventional notions of archival preservation. By bringing together scholars\, archivists\, and practitioners\, this workshop seeks to advance critical conversations about the past\, present\, and future of archives in Armenian Studies\, fostering a more nuanced understanding of how history is documented\, remembered\, and reinterpreted.\n\n=========================\nDAY 1 — Friday: April 4\, 2025\n=========================\n\n9:00-9:30 AM — Introductory Remarks: Emma Avagyan (Middle East Studies)\, Nazelie Doghramadjian (Information)\, Allison Grenda (History of Art)\, Gottfried Hagen (Middle East Studies)\n\n9:30-11:00 AM — Panel 1: New Methods in Access\, Preservation\, and Digitization of Armenian Heritage\nDiscussant: Bogdan Pavlish\, University of Michigan\n● Vardan Sargsyan\, University of Michigan. “Unlocking the Sharaknots’: A New Approach to Organizing Armenian Liturgical Hymns”\n● Chahan Vidal-Gòrene\, Calfa\, École Nationale des Chartes-PSL. “A Case Study on the Application of Handwritten Text Recognition to Mekhitarist Archives”\n\n11:00-11:15 AM — Break\n\n11:15 AM-12:45 PM — Panel 2: Beyond Text: Materiality and Contact within the Archive\nDiscussant: Christiane Gruber\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Gasparyan\, Tufts University. “Reimagining Access to Armenian Sources: The Value of Facsimiles in Art Historical Research”\n● Tsovinar Kuiumchian\, University of Oxford. “‘My house is full of ghosts’: Textile Archive as a Transgenerational Contact Zone”\n\n12:45-2:00 PM — Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n2:00-3:00 PM — Panel 3: Conversation with Mrs. Anahit Toumajan\, Armenian Language Teacher & Personal Archivist\nModerators: Nazelie Doghramadjian\, University of Michigan\; Michael Pifer\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Toumajan\, who is an Armenian language teacher and personal archivist in the Armenian community here in Michigan\, will discuss her work preserving and arranging Mihran Toumajan’s archive. Mihran\, born in 1890\, was one of the five pupils of Gomidas and went on to become a famous composer and musician himself. Throughout his life\, he kept detailed correspondence with his family\, friends\, and fellow pupils. Through his letters and journals\, we learn more about his childhood\, his family’s purchase of his first piano\, his lessons with Gomidas\, and well as his capture and exile during the Armenian Genocide. In conversation with PhD student Nazelie Doghramadjian and Marie Manoogian Professor of Armenian Language and Literature Michael Pifer\, Anahit Toumajan will discuss her work on this invaluable archive in her home\, and how her work may be different from institutional archiving. She will also discuss some special materials within the archive that are full of emotion\, personality\, and history.\n\n3:00-3:30 PM — Break\n\n3:30 PM - 4:45 PM — Library and Special Collections Tour\nLed by U-M Librarians Brendan Nieubuurt\, Armine Kirakosyan\, and Beth Snyder [for workshop participants only]\n● The University of Michigan's Hatcher Graduate Library and Special Collections Research Center is a gem on our campus and for the Center for Armenian Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CREES Exhibition. Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya
DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n   \n   Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79). See more of her work here: https://www.diannebeal.com/curatorial.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkorian Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Informed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Democracy's Information Dilemma
DESCRIPTION:What do we know about the connection between information and democracy\, both domestically and globally? Democracy’s Information Dilemma confronts this question by investigating why democracy depends on accessible and reliable information\, and how disinformation can undermine democracy.\n\nExperts will explore the ways the new information environment influences democratic participation—and how local journalism and education can empower citizens with knowledge.\n\nThis forum unites researchers and practitioners to work towards solutions to build a sustainable information environment for a thriving democracy.\n\nhttps://democracy.umich.edu/events/democracys-information-dilemma/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.
