SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Survival
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Beyond Survival\, an exhibition of works by incarcerated artists in Michigan presented by PCAP co-founder Janie Paul and the Flint Institute of the Arts. The exhibit opens May 30th and runs through September 14th. \n\nThe pieces span nearly 30 years\, many of them having been featured in our Annual Exhibition.\n\n\"Through drawings\, paintings\, and sculptures made with simple materials\, artists expose the harsh realities of incarceration while imagining life beyond prison. These works reveal a longing for home and family\, joy and beauty\, connections to nature\, flights of the imagination\, and journeys toward freedom—acts of creation made despite and in direct response to carceral conditions.\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Critical Visualities Book Showcase & Future Visioning
DESCRIPTION:To wrap up the summer kickoff series\, participants will have the opportunity to purchase an academic text of their choosing (in some way related to visual studies/cultures) through Critical Visualities' funds. The first 10 respondents will be allotted up to $100 per person for their book purchase. In order to participate\, you must submit your book selection through this form by 11:59 PM Thursday\, May 29th. Books will be distributed to the address the participant provides.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dissecting the High Energy Plasma Environment of Sagittarius A
DESCRIPTION:The crowded central parsecs of our Galaxy offer a unique environment to study accretion physics\, plasma dynamics\, star formation\, and more. Within arcseconds of central supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*)\, colliding stellar winds from Wolf-Rayet stars in the nuclear star cluster generate a hot plasma reservoir from which Sgr A* accretes. Given this abundance of accretion material\, the SMBH radiates at a lower luminosity than expected. At larger angular scales\, the extended Sgr A* plasma environment overlaps in our line of sight with the supernova remnant Sgr A East. Through Chandra spectroscopy and imaging\, I examine the extended X-ray plasma at multiple scales. To investigate the spectrum of the accretion flow\, I perform forward-modeling of High Energy Transmission Grating-Spectrometer (HETG-S) data\, accounting for the accretion geometry and instrumental effects. We found that a Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flow (RIAF) model fit to the quiescent HETG-S spectrum indicates an outflow balancing inflowing material and a sub-solar iron abundance. Synthetic spectra from smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations of the stellar‐wind plasma fit equally well\, but the two scenarios will only be distinguishable with future microcalorimeters that have high spatial resolution. Lastly\, I use data-driven signal separation techniques to analyze Chandra imaging data of the extended emission around Sgr A*. In particular\, the supernova remnant Sgr A East may yield insight into the recent history of star formation\, dust physics\, and feedback in the Galactic Center. In this work\, I separate Sgr A East from the cooler plasma around Sgr A*. Through comparison with a wide range of multiwavelength datasets\, we assess the spatial and spectral relationships among the observed structures and discuss the physical implications.

SUMMARY:Other:Moth Eden
DESCRIPTION:Explore \"Moth Eden\,\" an evocative art exhibit by Anne Erlewine\, running from April 19 to July 6\, 2025. ‘Moth Eden’ is a series of works exploring the relationship between the sacred reverence of the female form depicted as landscape and the conditioned tension of objectification contrasted by omission through eclipsing desire with the natural essence of bloom and nectar as it pertains to moth sustenance.\n\nAnne Erlewine\, an artist from Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, cultivated her artistic talents from an early age\, inspired by her fine artist grandmother. Her creative journey was further developed at the University of Michigan\, where she studied art and writing.
