SUMMARY:Exhibition:Respond/ Resist/ Rethink 2023
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Fall 2023 Theme Semester: Arts &amp\; Resistance\, Stamps Gallery is partnering with the U‑M Arts Initiative to expand the 4th annual Respond/Resist/Rethink student art exhibition. All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one&#039\;s personal politics\, an artwork&#039\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process. A final list of artworks were chosen for the exhibition by a Selection Committee made up of U-M faculty\, staff\, and students. \n\nThe 2023 RRR Selection Committee members are: \nPedram Baldari\, Jim Cogswell\, Laura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Adrienne Frank\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Quinn Hunter\, Ikalanni Jahi\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, Kathi Reister\, Chloe Schans\, and Grace Sirman. \nThe 2023 RRR Curatorial Committee members are: \nLaura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Kathi Reister. \nThe 2023 RRR Organizing Committee members are: Chris Audain\, Adrienne Frank\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Joe Rohrer.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Blessings of the Mystery
DESCRIPTION:The Blessings of the Mystery examines themes of socio-economic\, environmental activism\, encounters between history and memory\, Indigenous rights\, and the formation and distribution of knowledge. The exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio\, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories\, connections\, and tensions present in West Texas through film\, sculpture\, installation\, collage\, and drawing. \nThe experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories\, reenactments\, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization\, migration\, and ecological precarity\, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias\, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas\, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4\,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry\, infrastructure\, and private property. \nEmerging from the research to create the film\, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools\, series of drawings and collages\, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos\,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. The watercolors\, rarely seen plein air paintings\, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas\, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding\, erosion\, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa\, the University of Texas at Austin\, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts\, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories\, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.
