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:Exhibition:Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775
DESCRIPTION:The William L. Clements Library is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition in recognition of the 250th Anniversary of the military hostilities that began the American Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord are firmly established in American memory as the culmination of a range of governmental\, political\, economic\, and social tensions that amplified in the decade leading up to 1775. In this exhibit\, visitors will have the opportunity to see original historical manuscript letters\, documents\, newspapers\, and artwork that reveal aspects of the bloody work of Empire and individual alike in April 1775.\n\nAmong the items on display will be Commander in Chief of the British Army\, General Thomas Gage's draft orders for the Concord Expedition\, April 18\, 1775\; a bundle of letters collected by former Sons of Liberty supporter Dr. Benjamin Church\, which he secretly turned over to British Army intelligence\; letters by Silas Deane\, John Hancock\, and Rachel Revere\; and much more.\n\nOpen weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Development and Application of Low-cost Technologies for Stroke Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Dr. Chandramouli Krishnan\n\nZoom registration: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/-O2KxTBkRny7lrYL585zIA\nPASSCODE: 099355\n\nAbstract\nStroke is one of the leading causes of adult-onset disability in the United States. Restitution of motor control and improved independence in daily life following a stroke is mediated by high dosages of intensive\, task-specific therapy. However\, adequate therapy is often limited by the high costs of outpatient therapy sessions and reduced third party coverage. As a result\, many stroke survivors must reduce their therapy dosage and do not achieve their full recovery potential. Rehabilitation devices\, such as robots\, present a unique opportunity to increase dosage by automating the repetitive features of rehabilitation\, tracking patient progression\, integrating gaming interfaces to increase patient engagement\, and expanding in-home therapy. Unfortunately\, many of these devices are highly complex\, motorized systems that are too expensive and bulky for clinical or in-home use. Therefore\, it is pertinent that researchers investigate ways to decrease the cost of rehabilitation devices while maintaining their utility in rehabilitation. Hence\, in this dissertation\, we designed\, developed\, and examined low-cost devices for stroke rehabilitation. We developed and examined three low-cost devices for stroke rehabilitation. The first device was SepaRRo\, a semi-passive planar upper extremity robot for stroke rehabilitation. SepaRRo uses controllable brakes to provide training forces to the user’s end-effector (i.e.\, hand) during targeted reaching that can either resist and steer their motion. Steering forces from SepaRRo have two potential applications in rehabilitation: guide a user onto a path to assist in learning a motor skill or steer a user away from a path so that they alter their muscle coordination. In this dissertation\, we examined the ability of SepaRRo’s steering forces to help users learn a motor skill and examined how steering forces could alter muscle coordination during functional resistance training in stroke survivors. The second device we developed and examined in this dissertation was the Hand eMBot\, a self-powered passive robot for hand rehabilitation. Here\, self-power refers to a class of stroke rehabilitation robots that use power from the less-impaired limb to assist the more-impaired limb. The Hand eMBot uses this principle to assist the more-impaired hand with finger flexion and extension. The Hand eMBot includes three coupling transmissions that couple the motion of the (i) thumbs\, (ii) index fingers\, (iii) all remaining fingers\, thereby allowing the self-power to assist in gross and dexterous digit motion. We demonstrated the ability of the Hand eMBot to reflect motion to the opposite limb\, alter corticospinal excitability\, and improve functional usage of the more-impaired hand in stroke survivors. The third and final device we examined was the NewGait®\, a commercially available passive elastic exosuit for post-stroke gait rehabilitation. The NewGait® system features a variety of attachable elastic bands that span the lower extremity joints whose stretching and relaxing during the gait cycle apply assistive torques to the wearer. In this chapter\, we examined the NewGait’s ability to supplement a post-stroke gait intervention and how it compared to a similar commercially available device. Collectively\, this dissertation will set a foundation of work for a new generation of low-cost devices for stroke rehabilitation that could increase the accessibility of cutting-edge technologies to patient populations and improve recovery outcomes.
