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:Workshop: Weeping Trees' Tales: Narratives of *Hevea Brasiliensis\,* the Global Rubber Boom\, and the Political Ecology of Empire
DESCRIPTION:This is a workshop associated with a talk that takes place later the same day\, from 4:00pm - 5:30pm.\n\nThis talk traces how rubber-producing plants became a global commodity\, and it emphasizes the disastrous environmental impact and brutal labor exploitation that ensued as a result. I analyze visual and textual narratives of the rubber-producing tree hevea brasiliensis\, and I propose a speculative mode of analysis based on shifting scientific paradigms on plant intelligence and plant behavior.  I also discuss the role of key figures like William Jackson Hooker—the English botanist and director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew who successfully domesticated hevea seedlings\, paving the way for the development of rubber plantations in British colonies in Southeast Asia and\, in the process\, contributing to the collapse of the Amazonian rubber boom—and Roger Casement—the Irish diplomat known for his harrowing accounts of the violent labor regimes in the Congo Free State and the Peruvian Amazon propelled by the rubber economy. The talk further shows the links between botany\, plant commodification\, and imperialism.\n\nOlimpia E. Rosenthal is Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University. She is a scholar of colonialism in Latin America\, specializing in literary and cultural production that reflects material practices of domination\, the long-term effects of colonization\, and the ways in which imperial power has been challenged and contested. Her first book\, Race\, Sex and Segregation in Colonial Latin America (Routledge 2022)\, examines the emergence and early development of indigenous segregationist policies in Spanish and Portuguese America. The book shows that segregationist measures influenced the material reorganization of space\, shaped colonial processes of racialization\, and contributed to the politicization of reproductive sex. She has also organized a series of international conferences\, including one on Subaltern Studies at Indiana University’s Gateway Center in India\, and she recently co-organized the Sawyer Seminar Global Slaveries\, Fugitivity\, and the Afterlives of Unfreedom. Her current book project examines the political ecology of the Amazonian rubber boom.

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. This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? 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.
