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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics | Organic Optical Materials: From Solar Cells to Light-Emitting Diodes
DESCRIPTION:Versatile organic optical materials are widely used\, for example\, in OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TVs. These materials\, which convert electricity to light and vice-versa\, continue to improve\, but questions remain concerning electron and energy transport processes. Understanding ultra-fast (femtosecond) and small-scale (nanometer) processes in these systems is crucial for improving performance in optical and electronic applications.  In this presentation\, Professor Goodson will describe the results of studies of light-matter interactions in organic materials using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy to investigate energy transport and its importance to electronic devices we rely on daily.\n\nJoin us in person or via live stream: https://myumi.ch/ErXD3\n\nMore information about the Saturday Morning Physics Lecture Series is available on our website: https://myumi.ch/9gmgn

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

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).
