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:Exhibition:Colorism Multimedia Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Colorism comprises works of video\, still photography\, and sculpture questioning our psychosocial and biological ideas about skin color and treatment of people\, based on skin tones\, including within racial groups.

To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Ukrainian Women as Forced Migrants: Challenges and Pathways to Economic Independence
DESCRIPTION:Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/23nJe\n\nThe ongoing war in Ukraine has forced millions of people to seek refuge abroad. Poland is a primary destination for Ukrainian women\, while internally displaced women face unique challenges within Ukraine's labor market. This lecture investigates displaced Ukrainian women’s economic and social adaptation\, focusing on challenges such as linguistic barriers\, career disruptions\, and the intersection of caregiving responsibilities with labor market integration. Drawing on original research conducted from 2022 to 2024\, the presentation sheds light on innovative responses\, including entrepreneurial ventures and workplace adaptations in Poland\, as well as emerging trends and imbalances in Ukraine’s labor market\, where growing demand for women’s participation highlights new opportunities. By contextualizing the lived experiences of Ukrainian women\, the lecture offers critical insights into migration policy\, gender equality\, and pathways to economic independence in times of crisis.\n   \nJoining from Zoom\, Liudmyla Huliaieva is an economist and Fellow of the Global MIT At-Risk Fellows Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Holding a PhD in Economics from Kyiv National Economic University\, her research focuses on the economic resilience and financial independence of Ukrainian women forced migrants. Dr. Huliaieva has led over 20 European Union-funded projects addressing migration\, sustainable development\, and economic empowerment. Her academic journey includes fellowships supported by the Polish Institute of Advanced Studies\, the Polish Academy of Sciences\, the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen\, and the Kosciuszko Foundation. These experiences have enabled her to explore the socioeconomic adaptation of displaced women\, offering valuable insights into migration policy and gender equity. Combining academic expertise with practical project management\, Dr. Huliaieva actively contributes to international initiatives that empower women and marginalized groups\, positioning her as a key voice in discussions on sustainable development and social inclusion.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
