SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:UROP Research Scholars Application now open
DESCRIPTION:The UROP Research Scholars Program is designed for students who want to expand on their first year UROP experience and participate in UROP for a second year at an advanced level. In this program\, students build upon the knowledge gained in a first undergraduate research experience to further explore the connections between research\, a liberal arts education\, and communicating skills to advance their future professional goals. Students are expected to explore various written and oral possibilities for communicating their research process\, identifying the limits set by the discipline and the opportunities that lie beyond.\n\nApply at: https://myumi.ch/uroprs

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mary Sibande
DESCRIPTION:Sophie/Elsie is part of a series in which South African artist Mary Sibande (b. 1982) explores her family’s history. Three generations of Sibande women were employed as domestic workers in Apartheid South Africa\, which Sibande references through Sophie’s blue and white uniform—a dress synonymous with the profession there. Though not quite part of the born-free generation (the name given to children born after the start of Nelson Mandela’s presidency in 1994)\, Sibande was able to dream of life choices that were inaccessible to her ancestors. These dreams are acted out by her alter-ego Sophie\, a life-size fiberglass figure cast in the artist’s own likeness. Sibande created Sophie/Elsie in 2009 in honor of her great-grandmother\, who was given the Western name Elsie because her masters couldn’t be bothered to learn her African name. While closing her eyes\, Sophie imagines herself as an orchestra conductor\, as a superhero\, as a businesswoman. Here\, her maid’s uniform transforms into the dress of a Victorian queen\, complete with billowing cape and dramatic train. \n \nAt a time when indoor visits are limited\, UMMA is proud to be able to share Sophie/Elsie with our community. Eventually\, she will take center stage in a reinstallation of the permanent African galleries\, opening in fall 2021. The reinstallation will feature UMMA’s historical collection of African art\, as well as recent acquisitions of contemporary artworks from artists based in Africa and in the diaspora. \n \nThis museum purchase was made possible by Joseph and Annette Allen. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Garden of Earthy Delights: Ceramic Sculptures by Ann Arbor Potters Guild at Matthaei Botanical Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the synergy between nature’s beauty and complexity\, and in partnership with the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, artists from the Ann Arbor Potters Guild created work centered around Michigan’s natural landscapes and specifically for the Great Lakes Garden at Matthaei. Potters Guild artists created eight free-standing sculptures using the full range of traditional ceramic methods and tools\, the potter’s wheel\, press molds\, coil building\, slab construction\, and sculpting. Depictions range from naturalistic and representational\, to abstract\, as well as a whimsical nod or two to the timeless role of fantasy and myth in humankind’s communion with nature. Exhibit is free but scheduled reservations are required to visit the botanical gardens. Use this link to book your visit: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050f4aadad22a2fd0-matthaei1
