SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Butch Closet
DESCRIPTION:In the multi-media installation *The Butch Closet*\, artist Phranc illustrates her life stories as a queer artist\, Jewish lesbian folk singer\, and \"cardboard cobbler.\" By meticulously re-creating personal objects and pieces of clothing out of paper\, cardboard\, thread\, and paint\, she revisits her own history\, contextualizing her experiences as an iconic performer\, and maker\, constructing\, reconstructing\, and re-imagining her image against a larger historical context of second-wave feminism and queer activism. The institute's presentation of *The Butch Closet* is the second iteration of the project\, offering a more intimate and immersive engagement with Phranc's sculptural works. As part of the installation\, visitors can peer into a closet built in the center of the gallery designed by the artist. Conceptually\, the space shifts from inside to outside\, public and private\, and explores themes of visibility and that which remains inaccessible or unseen.\n\nAbout the artist:\nPhranc is a jewish lesbian folksinger and queer artist who uses song\, painting and sculpture to champion personal identities and illustrate the struggle\, survival\, and victory of the queer individual. An internationally acclaimed and award winning performer. Phranc’s work integrates humor and a butch lesbian aesthetic. Her current project\, Phranc Talk: The Butch Closet\, is a multi-media memoir that spans her 40-year career. Phranc lives and works in Santa Monica\, California and Vancouver\, British Columbia.\n\n*Phranc is the 2024 Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Noon at Night Presents: Refuse Refuse Radio
DESCRIPTION:Noon at Night presents a day of participatory climate emergency adaptation workshops\, culminating in a speculative fiction radio theatre performance in Winter 2025.\n\nPlease join us at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor's campus Friday\, October 11\, 2024 to map the unique climate disaster vulnerability among our communities and collectively design creative responses towards adaptation.\n\nSPOTS ARE LIMITED\; JOIN FOR ONE WORKSHOP OR ALL DAY!\n\nThroughout the day\, workshop participants will build an acoustic archive of our material and relational discards that will be placed in a time capsule\, refusing a condition of panic and precarity and recognizing those things and people that we typically dispose of as integral to our interdependent sustenance. The time capsule will then travel to the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s campus in November 2024\, augmented by UW workshop participants\, and reemerge as a speculative fiction radio theater performance on both the UM and UW campus radio stations Winter 2025. Prompted by \"what-if\" scenarios\, this experimental participatory performance will dramatize current and impending climate catastrophes - and our ability to adapt together.\n\nNoon at Night\, situated within University of Michigan Student Life Sustainability\, is in collaboration with participants from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\, and non-campus communities. \n\nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE\n9:30-10:30am: Intention setting (the Arb -  Huron River Landing)\n11am-12:30pm: Knowledge Mapping & Instructions for the Future with guest artist Jen Rae (Design Lab 1 at the Duderstadt Center)\n1-2:30pm: Relaying breath & seeds with Shiloh Maples (Strawbale House\, Campus Farm)\n3-4:30pm: Familial re-membering with dawn weleski (Windows Lounge\, Palmer Commons)\n5-6:30pm: Dinner\, time capsule transmission\, and film screening of Antarctica 3 by collaborating artist Syrus Marcus Ware\n\nThis event is sponsored by LSA Year of Sustainability & the Planet Blue Student Innovation Fund

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
