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: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:Lecture / Discussion:2025 ChE Graduate Students' Choice Lecture
DESCRIPTION:U-M ChE faculty and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nA reception with light refreshments will be held in the B32 lobby from 11-11:30 a.m.\n\nSeminar Abstract: \"Sticky liquids make soft solids\"\nThis talk will describe observations of unexpected interactions among fluids of different sorts that can result in new soft solid materials.  It will also describe new measurement methods that enable the study of these phenomena.  The observations include water-in-oil emulsions that remain stable in the absence of any surfactant whatsoever\, phase separation of proteins that result in liquid and gel drops and the observation that biopolymer gel networks in living cells have all the hallmarks of worm-like micelles\, and network structure widely studied in surfactant and diblock copolymers systems.\n\nAbout David Weitz:\nDavid A. Weitz is the Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University\, where he has established a renowned career in the field of soft condensed matter physics and microfluidics. He earned his Ph.D. in physics at Harvard in 1978 under the mentorship of Prof. M. Tinkham. Before joining Harvard\, Weitz was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a physicist at Exxon Research and Engineering Co. His research contributions\, such as developing Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy and pioneering work in microrheology\, have significantly advanced the understanding of complex fluids and soft materials.\n\nWeitz's lab at Harvard is at the forefront of studying the physics of soft condensed matter\, which includes work on colloidal dispersions\, foams\, and emulsions. The lab is also dedicated to advancing microfluidic techniques for the synthesis of new materials and complex biochemical assays. The team explores the mechanics of biomaterials and cell rheology\, striving to innovate in the fields of encapsulation and fluid dynamics.\n\nWeitz's prolific academic and scientific contributions have been recognized by his election to several prestigious organizations. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering\, as well as a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Chemistry. Additionally\, he is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Physical Society\, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Beyond his research and teaching\, Weitz has served on numerous scientific advisory boards\, including as chair of the Gordon Research Conference Board of Trustees since 2019\, with his tenure extending as chair in 2025. His distinguished career includes numerous awards\, such as the 2024 Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science from The Franklin Institute and recognition as a Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher from 2018 to 2023. Weitz has published over 868 papers\, led the founding of more than 20 startups\, and created popular courses at Harvard\, such as \"Science and Cooking\,\" which has attracted more than five million video views.
