SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:We Need to HEAR Them Out
DESCRIPTION:While the Washington Principles\, which turned twenty-five in 2023\, are admired for chaperoning the revitalized effort towards just and fair solutions for those dispossessed of their cultural property (for example\, the art\, books\, and Judaica plundered by the Nazis during World War II)\, they are also admonished for their inconsistent and weak enforcement. Addressing this issue more recently and aimed at filling in the gaps that stemmed from both inconsistent adherence to the Washington Principles and the limited scope of the 2016 HEAR (Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery) Act\, in 2022 the New York State Legislature passed a legislative package related to Holocaust education which included a provision requiring museums to acknowledge Nazi expropriated art. Anna Kaplan\, the former New York State Senator who introduced the law\, acknowledged scholars' concerns with the legislation and the law’s limitations. Kaplan concedes it is largely up to museums to implement and police the law themselves. \"We are hoping that museums will do the right thing.” Will they? \n\nConsidering the recent revisions to the Native American Graves Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and\, in the case of Nazi expropriated art\, the wave of museums seeking declaratory judgments to quiet title on World War II era cultural heritage property\, perhaps the answer is not on their own. As the restitution debate continues\, policy goals are articulated in pursuit of more ethical heritage practices and loopholes in law and policy continue to be exploited. Related decisions and enactments should be analyzed in the broader context of cultural heritage practices in order to encourage better intersectional methods in museums\, and the art and antiquities market by extension\, to create more effective legislation moving forward.\n\nhttps://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/we-need-to-hear-them-out-addressing-the-issue-of-nazi-expropriated-art-through-the-lens-of-recent-policies-and-practices/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:XR/XF: Extended Realities\, Extended Feminisms Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:XR/XF: Extended Realities\, Extended Feminisms brings together local\, national\, and international artists to create a site-specific multimedia exhibition and series of events on the University of Michigan campus and across the city of Ann Arbor. The exhibition will take place in various locations\, including a shipping container - the XR/XF pod - that will travel between 2 locations in Ann Arbor during the first two weeks of April.\n\nThe city of Ann Arbor has always been feminized. The story goes that in 1824\, John Allen and Elisha W. Rumsey founded the town and named it after their wives\, who were both named Ann. Since then\, the city has been anthropomorphized as a feminine body throughout the years. In the 1980s\, the University of Michigan’s football rivals in Ohio invented the infamous slogan\, “Ann Arbor is a Whore!” as a method to jeer at the opposition. Since then\, this offensive slogan has spread across the US and reappears every Fall during football season in Ann Arbor\, proliferating through both physical and digital objects. As one recent social media commenter notes: “That's what happens when you have a chick name for your city.”\n\nWith this project\, we strike/suspend gender from the city’s name: Ann Arbor is neither trophy wife nor whore. Instead\, we pose Ann Arbor as a feminist cyborg\, a feminist map\, and a creative\, participatory organism. We construct the body of the city differently\, with artistic intervention and cyberfeminist means: physical and digital installation\, activations of public space\, music\, performances\, and workshops. From the Bell Tower on central campus to the parking lot of the Liberty Annex\, we offer a creative activation that is both physical and digital and a fluid/complex/distributed image of the city through both XR and feminist means.\n\nCurated by Alina Nazmeeva and Yvette Granata. In collaboration with Tiffany Ng\, Tyler Musgrave\, Julie Zhu\, and Anıl Çamcı. Supported by the Arts Initiative at University of Michigan.
