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:Performance:EECS Juneteenth Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan community is invited to attend the sixth annual EECS Juneteenth Celebration on Thursday\, June 19\, at 11:00 a.m. in the Arthur Miller Theatre* in the Walgreen Drama Center\, followed by lunch in the Gerstacker Grove.\n\n*Due to space restrictions in Arthur Miller Theatre\, tickets for this event are limited and will be handed out on a first come\, first served basis. Each attendee will receive a ticket to the program and a ticket for the food trucks.\n\nThe theme of this year’s event is Celebrating Excellence and Innovation for an AI Future. \n\nThe program will include: \n\nLive performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by Nadia Johnson (School of Music Theatre and Dance) accompanied on piano by Herbert Winful (EECS)\nReading of the Emancipation Proclamation by members of the Graduate Society of Black Engineers and Scientists   \nFireside chat with Erin Teague (BSE CE ’04\, MBA – Harvard ’08)\, Chief Product Officer\, Character.ai.\nRemarks by EECS department leaders \nPresentation of the ECE Willie Hobbs Moore Alumni Lectureship award to Erin Teague \nFinale – Choreographed performance of “Rise Up” by Nadia Johnson (voice) and Alana Howard (SMTD-dance) \nThe EECS department has partnered with three food trucks – Good Eats\, Nacho Average Tostado\, and Motor City Sweet Treats\, to offer lunch in the Gerstacker Grove. Guests will choose between Good Eats and Nacho Average Tostado for lunch\, and can get dessert from Motor City as well. \n\nGuests will also be treated to a carillon performance by university carrolinist Prof. Tiffany Ng\, as well as a performance by Bichini Bia Congo Dance Theater Company.\n\nJuneteenth\, celebrated on June 19th\, is a national holiday that marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston\, Texas\, announced the end of the Civil War\, and freed 250\,000 slaves in Texas. This was two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had formally freed slaves in the Confederate states. Juneteenth is considered by many as the country’s second independence day.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Coordination Chemistry Approach to the Design of Boron-Doped Conjugated π-Electron Materials
DESCRIPTION:The incorporation of boron into conjugated organic molecules has emerged as a useful strategy to elicit valuable optical and electronic properties which cannot be observed with the analogous all-hydrocarbon systems. Therefore\, these types of molecules are currently being studied for various optoelectronic applications\, including organic light-emitting diodes. We have synthesized\, structurally characterized\, and assessed the aromaticity and optical properties of unusual borafluorene and borepin cations\, radicals\, and anions. Our primary goal has been to isolate molecules in rare electronic states and to provide a link between structure and function. We have now initiated efforts aimed at understanding the chemical reactivity of these boron-containing rings\, including their reactivity with energy-relevant small molecules. Recently\, we discovered that borenium ions can be tailored such that the serve as viable stimuli-responsive materials\, possessing thermochromic and/or luminescent properties. This lecture will cover our most recent results in these research areas\, including new studies on boraacenes and π-extended multi-boron-doped systems. If time permits\, other research areas will be discussed\, such as our efforts in heavy group 15 element bond activation chemistry.

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.
