SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Soviet Sultanate Book Discussion with Paolo Sartori_Central Asian Studies
DESCRIPTION:I write with fantastic news - on October 23rd\, 2024 at 12:00pm the Central Asian Studies RIW will be holding a moderated Zoom discussion with Dr. Paolo Sartori of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna to discuss his new book\, A Soviet Sultanate: Islam in Socialist Uzbekistan (1943‒1991). Participants should come having read\, or at least partly read\, this book (feel free\, in fact\, to simply read the introduction and conclusion\, or any parts relevant to your own research before coming!). Dr. Sartori will briefly introduce his work (3-5 minutes) and the remaining time will be spent as an open q and a\, in which anyone in attendance can ask him any question they want about Sartori's new book\, the research that went into it\, his methodology\, what he sees as its interventions in the field\, and broader historiography pertaining to Islam in Soviet Central Asia. Due to the nature of this event\, the Central Asian Studies RIW is also happy to announce that we are giving out free (PDF) copies of A Soviet Sultanate - if you want one\, please simply reply to this email or email me directly and I will send you a copy. The Zoom Q and A with Dr. Sartori will run from 12:00pm to 1:20pm. Please register for the Zoom here to attend: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0od-mgpzIrGN1Gss4j3hl_VM77YYoRddxK . The Austrian Academy Sciences Press describes this book as \"the first English-language social history of Islam in Soviet Central Asia after WWII\, and it focuses on a key question: what did it mean to be a Muslim in Socialist Uzbekistan? The notion that in the eyes of many Soviet citizens Socialist Uzbekistan was an abode of Islam forms the book’s framing device for understanding how the atheist project of the Soviet empire ultimately failed\, but also how it simultaneously helped shape the range of meanings of Muslimness. The book’s central aim is to tell an epic narrative of resilience\, resistance and subversion\" (see the rest of their description here: https://verlag.oeaw.ac.at/en/product/a-soviet-sultanate/99200960?name=a-soviet-sultanate&product_form=5363 ). Dr. Sartori is a Senior Research Associate at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. There he is a fellow at their Institute of Iranian Studies and currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient\, the Journal of Central Asian History (Brill) and as the Chairman of the Committee for the Study of Islam in Central Eurasia (https://www.oeaw.ac.at/sice). His main research interests are: the history of knowledge production about Islam in the Russian Empire\, with a special focus on the formation of archives in the post-Petrine era\; and Soviet Muslimness\, with special attention devoted to Central Asia after the Second World War. We are very pleased and honored that he is able to make time to hold this event with us\, and we hope you all are also able to attend.
