SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:QMSS Seminar with Dr. Amnon Cavari
DESCRIPTION:Join the Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences (QMSS) program for an engaging seminar with former QMSS visiting associate professor\, Dr. Amnon Cavari!\n\nDemocracy Under Pressure: How Crises Shape Public Trust in Government and Democratic Norms in Israel.\n\nIn the past two years\, Israel has faced two major crises that have reshaped public perceptions of democracy: the government’s attempt to consolidate power\, which sparked mass protests\, and the October 7 attack by Hamas\, which escalated into a full-scale war involving Hezbollah\, Iran\, and its regional proxies. These events\, unfolding under the same highly polarizing government\, provide a unique opportunity to examine how internal and external crises influence public trust in government\, perceptions of its powers and limitations\, and evolving views of democratic norms. Drawing on three years of monthly public opinion data\, I analyze the divergent public responses to these crises and their broader implications for democratic stability.\n\nThere will be an opportunity for a select number of current U-M undergraduate students to join Dr. Cavari for a casual dinner after the event. If you are interested in this opportunity and would like to sign up for the dinner (or be placed on a waitlist if it is currently filled to capacity)\, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/oKxhUtPiwgzGZUJ59.\n\nThis event is open to all students at U-M.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:German Film Series
DESCRIPTION:All Films screened in German with English subtitles.\n\nFebruary 3: *Kokon* (Cocoon\, 2020\, dir. Leonie Krippendorff)\nTime: food at 6\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: North Quad 2435\nBerlin-Kreuzberg is Nora’s microcosm. Nora\, the silent observer\, drifts around the monotonous housing blocks with her big sister and her friends\, witnessing events that seem to cross-fade in the summer light. Girls who want to be slim and pretty\, boys who say dumb things to provoke or because they are in love. Ruthless smartphone cameras and fragile teenagers. But Nora has her own way of looking at the world\, and when she meets Romy\, she realizes why. This film captures a summer of change. (Berlinale 2020)\n\nMarch 10: *Sonne* (Sun\, 2022\, dir. Kurdwin Ayub) \nTime: food at 6\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: North Quad 2435\nThree teenage girls from Vienna twerk in hijab and sing a pop song. A YouTube video of it makes them famous overnight\, especially among Kurdish Muslims. Yesmin\, the only one of the friends who is Kurdish herself\, begins to distance herself more and more from her culture. Nati and Bella\, on the other hand\, seem fascinated by a world that is strange to them. A film about young people caught between social media and self-discovery\, a story of rebellious young women. (Austrian Films)\n\nApril 7: *Oray* (2019\, dir. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay)\nTime: NO FOOD\, doors at 6:15pm\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: *State Theater*\nOray strives to be a better person but struggles with his shady past. His dream of being a good Muslim and the perfect husband is suddenly shattered while arguing with his wife. Oray goes to Cologne\, where he tries to rebuild his life in a new Muslim community. But he is constantly torn between his faith\, everyday reality and identity. (Pluto Film)\n\nOrganized by Germanic Languages & Literatures\nCo-sponsors: Max Kade German Residence and Alamanya Transnational German Studies Workshop

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.

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: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: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.
