SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) - Committing to Change
DESCRIPTION:Global Accessibility Awareness Day is a virtual accessibility event on Thursday\, May 15\, 2025\, aimed at engaging in conversation\, thinking\, and learning about access and inclusion. This year’s event is sponsored by the University of Minnesota and co-sponsored by the University of Illinois system and the University of Michigan. The year’s theme is “Committing to Change” considering the many ways we\, our departments\, our colleges and universities\, and communities can commit to making the changes needed to be more inclusive. The event is organized by a volunteer group of dedicated University employees.\n\nDirector of Disability Equity and ADA Coordinator Allison Kushner and Senior Accessibility Specialist Erin Metz will present \"Creating Awareness & Empowering Change: Building a Campus-wide Disability Awareness Program\" on Track C of Session 1. This presentation focuses on how to develop and implement a comprehensive disability awareness training program designed to educate a university community on its disability compliance obligations but also foster a culture of disability inclusion and accessibility. This presentation by UM's Disability Equity Office will highlight the key challenges\, successes\, and impacts of implementing its own disability education and training program. Participants will gain insight into leveraging their available resources to build a training program\, including creating a strategic mission and roadmap for implementation\, and how to utilize objective data to gain buy-in and enthusiasm for growth from key stakeholders.
