SUMMARY:Performance:Sonata Amabile
DESCRIPTION:Join SMTD faculty Matt Albert\, violin and Matthew Thompson\, piano\, as they perform Texu Kim’s Sonata Amabile.

He is active as a pianist\, conductor\, author\, and teacher.

Dr. Thompson’s first book\, The Video Game Phenomenon: Press Ab to Play\, is forthcoming (Intellect Publishing\, 2026). He has viral performances of K-ArtSong with millions of views and his research in this field (koreanartsongresource.com) led to today’s collaboration.\n   \n   Violinist and violist Matt Albert is the Chair of Chamber Music at the University of Michigan. He was a founding member of Eighth Blackbird\, with whom he received numerous awards\, including first prizes at the Naumburg\, Concert Artists Guild\, Coleman\, and Fischoff Competitions\, and three Grammy awards.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.
