SUMMARY:Tours:Wonder Walk at the Arb: The Wonder of Peonies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for informal Wonder Walks through the W.E. Upjohn Peony Garden during peony season. Each walk offers a broad overview of the garden and the many stories peonies can tell through color\, fragrance\, petal forms\, and names. Depending on the timing of bloom\, you may catch early varieties opening\, peak display\, or later-season favorites. These relaxed walks are a chance to spend time in the garden\, learn more about the collection\, and enjoy the season as it unfolds.\n\nThese walks are FREE\, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group\, we may split into two groups to deliver the same content at different levels of engagement.\n\nWe will meet outside the Reader Center at Nichols Arboretum. In the event of rain\, the walk will be canceled.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marianetta Porter: Breath\, Fragment\, Return
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Juana Williams\, this exhibition examines how Marianetta Porter uses everyday objects\, fragments\, and embodied memory to make absence an active\, living presence while challenging linear histories. Rooted in African American experience\, her practice treats what is discarded\, overlooked\, or missing not as loss\, but as a source of meaning that continues to act on the present. Through her process and materials\, Porter reveals how memory is carried in the body and embedded in ordinary things. Her work also resists forward-moving notions of time\, instead presenting a diasporic temporality in which past\, present\, and lived experience circulate together through repetition\, touch\, and recall. In doing so\, Porter proposes a vision of history as unfinished\, memory as active\, and absence as a force that sustains connection and shapes the present. \n\nMarianetta Porter is a visual artist and product designer whose research and creative practice are grounded in the study of African American history\, culture\, and representation. Through the language of visual art\, she draws connections between historic memory and contemporary African American life\, giving voice to the history of the African diaspora while acknowledging its central influence on the birth and flourishing of American culture.\n\nHer work has been exhibited nationally at institutions such as the Indianapolis Museum of Art\, the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry\, the Spoleto Festival\, the Harriet Tubman Museum\, and the Hampton University Museum of Art.\n\nShe earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Hampton University and her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. The recipient of numerous awards\, Porter is Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan’s Stamps School of Art and Design.\n\nJuana Williams is a curator and writer whose work explores the intersections of cross-border intellectual history\, cultural memory\, and identity formation as expressed through modern and contemporary art from Africa and its diasporas.\n\nWilliams has held curatorial and academic appointments at organizations including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, Library Street Collective\, Wayne State University\, and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art. Her curatorial projects have been presented at institutions across the United States and France\, including the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, the Muskegon Museum of Art\, Palais de Tokyo (Paris)\, and the Westmoreland Museum of American Art. In addition\, she has presented lectures at various museums and universities and contributed to numerous exhibition catalogs. Her work has been written about in publications such as Artsy\, Beaux Arts Magazine\, Condé Nast Traveller\, Michigan Chronicle\, and Observer. Williams holds a BA in Fine Art and an MA in Art History from Wayne State University.
