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:84303-21621386@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,UMMA,Museum,History,Exhibition,European LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240814T154032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240910T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240910T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macro Seminar: Tuesday\, September 10 DESCRIPTION:-- UID:124275-21852833@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124275 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Macroeconomics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240925T063342 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240910T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240910T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:A&M's Consumer & Retail Group | Company Presentation | FT & InternRoles DESCRIPTION:Please also register using the following link:https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4DA5AA28A0FBCE9-50886454-amcrgAlvarez &\; Marsal (A&\;M) is a premier independent global professional services firm specializing in providing turnaround management\, restructuring\, performance improvement and corporate advisory services. Established five years ago\, A&\;M’s Consumer &\; Retail Group continues to experience high growth.  A&\;M’s Consumer and Retail Group combines the best of A&\;M’s bias toward action and practicality with deep industryexperience from bringing together management consultants and operators. Our purpose is to translate our experience\, innovative thinking and bias for action into tangible results for our clients\, putting themon the right side of this disruption\, and positioning them for long termsuccess. The work we do:\nGrowthStrategy &\; Implementation\nLarge Scale Transformation\nM&\;A\, Carve-out and Post-Merger Integration\nOperations\nMerchandising &\; Assortment Optimization\nInterim Leadership\n Who will you be working with?We are not a typical consulting firm.
