SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way. Demonstrations are free and appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above. Schedule subject to change.\n\nExplore the unseen lives of owls in this hands-on demonstration. Together\, we will use museum specimens to learn about some of owls’ unique adaptations\, like big eyes\, specialized ears\, quiet wings\, and sharp claws. What do these adaptations tell us about how owls eat? How are these modern raptors related to dinosaurs? Find out what an owl pellet is (Hint: it's not poop!) and dissect a real owl pellet to learn about the owl's diet. Come and discover the role of these birds of prey in the food chain!\n\nSpecial demos on February 15 and 16.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Lunar New Year Shows
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live presentation exploring a variety of Lunar New Year topics. The show covers how the traditional Chinese calendar assigns both animals and elements to each person's birth year. It also discusses the differences between lunar and solar calendars\, as well as how the Chinese calendar is a combination known as a lunisolar calendar. Members of our local Chinese and Taiwanese communities will present the traditions and ways in which their families celebrate the new year.\n\nThis event is in partnership with the Lieberthal Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Artist Talk with Jarod Lew: Strange You Never Knew
DESCRIPTION:Hear from artist Jarod Lew on his first solo exhibition\, Strange You Never Knew\, on view at UMMA from Feb 1—June 15\, 2025. The exhibition features works from three of his recent photography series\, as well as a newly created video installation. All of the works on display were inspired by Lew’s discovery that his mother was engaged to Vincent Chin\, who was murdered by two autoworkers in Highland Park\, Michigan in 1982. Chin’s death and the subsequent controversial court ruling galvanized the Asian American civil rights movement in Detroit and beyond. \n \nBorn in Metro Detroit\, Michigan\, Lew draws on photography to explore intergenerational encounters with diasporic loss\, displacement\, and postmemory. Through this exploration\, his work contends with the performativity of race and its instability as a locus of meaning. Lew deftly employs numerous aesthetic strategies—such as lighting\, portraiture\, and constructed tableaus—to confront the complexities and incoherencies of race and racial belonging. Each image explores the tension between history and fantasy as a constructed moment of remembrance.\n \nHis practice not only represents an often-overlooked community within Metro Detroit\, but also reimagines how he fits within the Asian American diaspora. In doing so\, Lew creates a new kind of family album for himself and the Asian diaspora in the midwest. \n \nFree and open to the public.  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Jarod Lew
DESCRIPTION:Jarod Lew is a Chinese American artist and photographer from Metro Detroit\, Michigan. Lew draws on photography to explore intergenerational encounters with diasporic loss\, displacement\, and postmemory. Through this exploration\, his work contends with the performativity of race and its instability as a locus of meaning. Lew deftly employs numerous aesthetic strategies—such as lighting\, portraiture\, and constructed tableaus—to confront the complexities and incoherencies of race and racial belonging. Each image explores the tension between history and fantasy as a constructed moment of remembrance.\nLew’s talk focuses on his first solo exhibition\, Strange You Never Knew\, on view at the University of Michigan Museum Art from February 1–June 15\, 2025. This exhibition includes works from three of his photography series\, Please Take Off Your Shoes\, In Between You and Your Shadow\, and Mimicry\, as well as a newly created video installation. All of these works were inspired by the discovery that the artist’s mother was the fiancée of Vincent Chin who was murdered by two autoworkers in Highland Park\, Michigan in 1982. Chin’s death and the subsequent controversial court ruling galvanized the Asian American civil rights movement in Detroit and beyond. His practice not only represents an often-overlooked community within Metro Detroit\, but also reimagines how he fits within the Asian American diaspora. In doing so\, Lew creates a new kind of family album for himself and the Asian diaspora in the midwest. \nLew has been awarded the PDN Emerging Photographer award in 2016 and has been shortlisted for the Aperture Portfolio Prize in 2021. His photographs have been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery\, Cantor Art Center at Stanford University\, Blaffer Art Museum\, the Center for Photography Woodstock\, Design Museum of London\, and Philharmonie de Paris. His works are held in public and private collections including the Bowdoin University Art Museum\, Cantor Arts Center\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Harvard Art Museum\, Kadist\, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art. Lew’s work has been written about in Aperture\, Artforum\, Elephant Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. Lew holds an MFA in photography from the Yale School of Art.\nPresented in partnership with University of Michigan Museum of Art. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.
