He is a global business leader and supply chain executive with over 25 years of experience and progressive achievement across multiple industries (food & beverage\, QSR and CPG). Join us for dinner and a great conversation with our guest speaker.\n\nThe Black Industrial Engineers (BIndx\, pronounced BIND-ex) group is composed of IOE students and faculty who come together informally for meaningful conversations and fellowship to promote learning\, mentoring\, and networking. The BIndx program was initiated to promote a learning space where students feel comfortable engaging with faculty. Meetings occur as informal monthly discussions to help form relationships between faculty and minoritized students.  Also\, BIndx hosts a diverse group of guest speakers throughout the semester with a specific focus to facilitate conversations\, build connections\, and empower self-reflection.\n\nDinner from KG's Grill will be served ONLY to those who RSVP. \nDue to capacity constraints\, this event is limited to 40 people.\n\nPlease RSVP HERE if you plan to attend by Friday\, January 10 at 4:00pm: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2UTuOb6m3jxnYndEyoJnWz3Q3186XvRcNIREHLDg289VXiQ/viewform

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture | Dyeing to Know: Studying Colors in Karanis Textiles
DESCRIPTION:Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse\, a color Pantone says\, “nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee\, answering our desire for comfort.” While Kelsey Museum conservators are fairly sure that Mocha Mousse was not a favorite color in Roman Egypt—a culture that\, sadly\, also had no experience of either chocolate or coffee as delectable comfort foods—Pantone’s Classic Blue (2020) and Viva Magenta (2022) would have been strong contenders. \n\nIn this talk\, Kelsey Museum Conservator Suzanne Davis will present initial findings from a study of dyes in textiles from the Roman Egyptian town of Karanis\, Egypt. This study is a subset of a larger project to look at color in the Kelsey Museum’s collections. Among other things\, it has revealed that the textile workers of Karanis were highly sophisticated in their application and manipulation of color and that favorite colors for embellishing fabrics were a classic navy blue\, a bright and bold red\, and a wide range of pinks and purples—all skillfully modulated to achieve specific decorative effects. \n\nThis event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided before the lecture\, which will begin at 6 PM.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) lectures are free and open to the public. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Rashaad Newsome
DESCRIPTION:Rashaad Newsome is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blends several practices — collage\, sculpture\, video\, music\, computer programming\, and performance — to form an altogether new field. He seamlessly merges art\, code\, film\, and community-building to create immersive experiences that explore the intersections of Blackness\, queerness\, and futurism. Using the equalizing force of sampling\, he crafts compositions that surprise in their associative potential and walk the tightrope between identity politics\, social practice and abstraction. \nAssembly\, his groundbreaking exhibition and film\, brings together dancers\, artificial intelligence\, animation\, collage\, sculpture\, holography\, and soundscapes to reimagine collective liberation. Central to this work is Being\, the Digital Griot—an AI-powered entity that embodies radical storytelling. Acting as both mirror and provocateur\, Being demonstrates AI's potential as a tool for liberation rather than control. \nNewsome will offer an in-depth exploration of the conceptual frameworks and processes behind Assembly and Being. He will discuss how his work dismantles systems of oppression and reimagines physical and digital spaces as arenas for liberation. Through dynamic storytelling\, dance\, and the collaboration between human and non-human performers\, Newsome pushes artistic boundaries while sparking critical conversations about how art and technology can shape futures beyond binary thinking\, paving the way for a more liberated world.\nNewsome has exhibited and performed in galleries\, museums\, institutions\, and festivals throughout the world\, including The Whitney Museum\, Brooklyn Museum\, MoMA PS1\, SFMOMA\, New Orleans Museum of Art\, Centre Georges Pompidou\, and the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture. He has received multiple honors and awards for his work\, including a 2014 Headlands Center for the Arts Visiting Artist Residency\, and a 2011 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award.\nIn tandem with Newsome’s appearance in the Penny Stamps Series\, the Institute for the Humanities is hosting Chimera\, an immersive exhibition built around a newly commissioned film of the same name. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation. Chimera opens directly following this event at the Institute for the Humanities gallery with an opening reception and artist meet and greet. Chimera will be on view from January 16 through February 28\, 2025 at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. \nPresented in partnership with the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.
