SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Meeting:Lingering in the Wound: Sadism and Confusion as Aesthetic Practice
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: April 3\, 4pm - 6pm\nWorkshop: April 4\, 11:30pm - 1pm\n\nContrasting the logic that wounds only produce suffering and that\, therefore\, the proper approach to trauma is the reparative\, Saketopoulou draws our attention to the concept of traumatophilia\, which conditions a differently textured relation to injury. In this talk\, she turns to art that lingers in the wound not in order to address/heal the injury but to graze against it\, even to risk re-opening it in the interembodied space of the theatre. Such art is not after healing or repair: it risks\, rather\, an exposure to traumatic intensities that cannot be captured through anamnesis\, intensities that have a fugitive relationship to being grasped or understood\, and which\, importantly\, exert a sadistic force on the artist and the audience. That such sadism is also tender is not a contradiction\, but the very condition of a kind of sadism we might think of as aesthetic. Drawing on the first part of the Cadela Força trilogy by Carolina Bianchi and the art collective Cara de Cavalo\, Saketopoulou explores how wound and aesthetics meet through an ethical form of sadistic practice conjugated not through clarity\, understanding\, or catharsis but through the courting of confusion.\n\nAvgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst who lives and works in New York City. She completed her analytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, where she also teaches. Her published work addresses issues around trauma\, gender\, and sexuality. She is the author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk\, Race\, Traumatophilia (NYU Press\, 2023) and co-author with Ann Pellegrini of Gender Without Identity (Unconscious in Translation 2023). \n\nThank you to our co-sponsors: \nInstitute for the Humanities\, UMOR\, and LSA DEI Office

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Dear Colleagues:  Diversity\, equity & inclusion initiatives are legally defensible and here is how higher education should respond.
DESCRIPTION:Recent Executive Orders and the Department of Education’s “Dear Colleague” letter have introduced new legal considerations for higher education institutions committed to fostering diverse\, equitable\, and inclusive learning environments. What are the actual legal obligations stemming from these federal actions — and how should institutions interpret and respond to them? \n\nJoin our discussion with legal and policy experts to unpack the legal context of these directives. This session will provide guidance for the higher education community on how to understand the legal scope and limits of federal directives\, navigate potential risks\, and uphold academic freedom and institutional autonomy with evolving legal parameters.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Towards a Decolonial Methodology
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Serhii Plokhii’s work in deconstructing imperial Russian historical narratives\, this workshop questions to what extent state-centered approaches have bound the historical imagination of our various fields and defined the topics that count as significant. Via utilizing ulterior archives\, including: the publications of Iranian student activists in 1970s’ France\, novels of famous Kyrgyz authors\, folk songs connected to plantation labor\, and imagined conversations with SS commanders – our four speakers each seek to “decolonize” hegemonic narratives\, and\, in so doing\, create decolonial methodologies for research.\n\nPanelists:\n\nChandrica Barua (Graduate Student\, English Language and Literature\, University of Michigan)\nAzhar Dyussekenova (Graduate Student\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\, University of Michigan)\nKeanu M. Heydari (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nSara Ruiz (Graduate Student\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\, University of Michigan)\nSikandar Kumar (Postdoctoral Fellow\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, University of Michigan)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Presentation:From Lubaina Himid to the Battle of Bamber Bridge: Curating and Narrating Black Atlantic Stories in British Museums and Communities
DESCRIPTION:Visiting Fulbright Scholar Professor Alan Rice (DAAS\, UMICH) will discuss a range of his work as curator\, academic and activist in Lancashire\, Great Britain. As a scholar of the Black Atlantic he has curated and co-curated exhibitions with Black British artists including the Turner Prize winner\, Lubaina Himid\, Godfried Donkor\, textile artist Althea McNish and rising stars Jade de Montserrat and Lela Harris. This talk will showcase these curatorial interventions including work with the Whitworth on their Trade and Empire exhibition where together with his co-curators he used extant objects to tell new stories about slavery and exploitation. \n\nMore recent work in Lancaster focuses on its history as the fourth largest slave port and uses the work of Black British artists to challenge the elision of difficult histories. He will discuss how he\, together with Lancaster Black History Group\, uses the work of Himid\, de Montserrat and Harris to get African Atlantic representation into the heart of the museum. His final short case study will show how together with Preston Black History Group he has worked with the community in Bamber Bridge to memorialise the widely forgotten story of a mutiny against Jim Crow segregation by African American troops in a small village in Lancashire. Overall\, he will discuss the importance of activist interventions as an academic and curator.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Pilot Grant Lightning Talks: Expanding Housing & Health Research
DESCRIPTION:Housing Solutions for Health Equity is a research initiative at the University of Michigan School of Public Health\, led by Dr. Roshanak Mehdipanah. At HSHE\, we envision a world where decent\, safe\, affordable\, and healthy housing is available to everyone. However\, we know our state and nation are far from realizing that vision. We understand that living conditions and location impact many aspects of people’s lives\, including their health. We also understand that inequities in access to decent\, safe\, affordable\, and healthy housing persist in Michigan and across the United States. As a part of our work\, we developed a pilot grant program to fund researchers who are interested in exploring housing and health related topics. During this webinar\, we will hear from our three grantees – Dr. Kate Bauer\, Associate Professor of Nutritional Sciences\, Dr. Margi Dewar\, Professor Emerita of Urban and Regional Planning\, and Dr. Joe LaBriola\, Research Assistant Professor at the Institute for Social Research –  who will discuss their projects and findings.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Population dynamics and universal statistics of tumor-inhabiting bacteria
DESCRIPTION:Environments such as the ocean\, the soil\, and the human body support tremendous microbial diversity. Uncovering the mechanisms by which a large number of microbial species can coexist on limited resources remains an important open problem. Here I will discuss this problem in unique context: bacteria that inhabit tumors. Bacterial colonization of solid tumors is widespread\, but how the tumor environment affects bacterial growth (and vice versa) is poorly understood. Our experimental collaborators infect mouse tumors with DNA-barcoded bacteria\, creating competition among thousands of clonal bacterial \"species\". We find that after an initial expansion period\, clone sizes exhibit universal power-law statistics. These statistics are robust across experiments and collection times\, and unique to bacteria grown in the tumor environment rather than in liquid culture. Combining population ecology with nonequilibrium statistical physics\, we develop a mechanistic theory of intra-tumor bacterial growth that includes an infection bottleneck\, local growth constraints\, global resource competition\, and environmental noise. Our simple physical theory captures the dynamics and the statistics of the experiments\, explains the uniqueness of the observations to the tumor environment\, and represents an important step in quantitatively characterizing the tumor microbiome.
