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  UID:84303-21621273@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History,Art,UMMA,Museum,Exhibition,European LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240515T063108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240430T111500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240430T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:J&J WiSTEM2D Presents - Study Break - Developing High Performance Habits DESCRIPTION:Johnson &\; Johnson WiSTEM2D Presents - Study Break - Developing High Performance Habits\n\nFeeling stressed about finals?

This talk will be recorded for later viewing.\n\nAbstract: We present and analyze a dynamic evolution-oriented model of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in a (homogeneous) population. Unlike previous such models\, we use alleles at the various virus sites as our basic building blocks – an approach that we find more natural and more effective in studying virus evolution. Even though it is restricted to two virus sites with two alleles at each site\, our approach uncovers many insights about virus evolution\, including the effects of parameter choices on the timing and patterns of strain evolution\, the staying power of the initial (seeded) strain\, and the key roles that immunity plays.
