SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Fernando Laposse
DESCRIPTION:Fernando Laposse specializes in transforming humble natural materials into refined design pieces. He has worked extensively with overlooked plant fibers such as sisal\, loofah\, and corn leaves. Laposse’s works are the result of extensive research which culminates in objects of “endemic design” where materials and their historical and cultural ties to a particular location and its people take center stage. He often works with indigenous communities in his native Mexico to create local employment opportunities and raise awareness about the challenges they face in a globalized world.\nLaposse’s projects are informative and educational and touch on topics such as sustainability\, the loss of biodiversity\, community dissolution\, migration\, and the negative impacts of global trade in local agriculture and food culture. He does so by documenting the issues and announcing possible resolutions through the transformative power of design.\nLaposse’s projects have been exhibited in the Triennale di Milano\, the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum\, The Design Museum in London\, the Victoria and Albert Museum\, and the World Economic Forum\, among others. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Design Museum Gent\, Le centre national des arts plastiques\, Musée des Arts Décoratifs\, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the National Gallery of Victoria\, and the Victoria &amp\; Albert Museum. Laposse studied at Central Saint Martins in London as a product designer and currently lives and works in Mexico City.\nPresented in partnership with Design Core Detroit. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Radio.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading and Q&A with Sawako Nakayasu
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters24\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in UMMA's Stern Auditorium). Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nBorn in Japan and raised in the US\, Sawako Nakayasu is an artist working with language\, performance\, and translation. Her newest books of poetry include *Pink Waves* (Omnidawn\, 2023)\, a finalist for the PEN/Voelcker award\, and *Some Girls Walk Into The Country They Are From* (Wave Books\, 2020)\, both of which engage the intersection between writing and translation. *Settle Her*\, which was written on the #1 bus line in Providence\, Rhode Island on Thanksgiving Day of 2017 on the occasion of her cutting ties with normative Thanksgiving celebrations\, is forthcoming from Solid Objects. \n\n“Invisible Losses\,” a text-based performance\, was performed in 2023 as part of Translated Bodies\, a translation performance event curated by Gabrielle Civil at the Velocity Dance Center in Seattle. It has also been reimagined and published as a web-based work on oral.pub. Her pamphlet\, Say Translation Is Art (Ugly Duckling Presse\, 2020)\, which encourages the untethering of translated texts from conventional relationships to their source texts\, has been taught\, translated\, or performed in the US and in Europe – including as a spoken word performance by Danielle Zawadi in Dutch translation\, at the Dutch Foundation for Literature’s Annual Translation Convention in 2022. \n\nNakayasu’s translation of the Japanese modernist poet Sagawa Chika\, *The Collected Poems of Chika Sagawa*\, supported by the NEA and published by Canarium Books in 2015\, received the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation\, the Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize\, and was a finalist for the National Translation Award in Poetry. It was subsequently acquired by Penguin/Random House for their Modern Library series and republished in 2020 in a new edition with updated introduction. *Poet Sagawa Chika: Late Gathering*\, currently under development with the Brown Digital Publications Initiative\, is a born digital\, scholarly publication based on Sagawa’s poetry and legacy. \n\nNakayasu teaches in the Literary Arts department at Brown University\, where she teaches poetry\, translation\, and interdisciplinary art.\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you.
