SUMMARY:Film Screening:Va' Pensiero: Storie ambulanti (Walking Stories) by Dagmawi Yimer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Va' Pensiero: Storie ambulanti (Walking Stories) (2013)\, followed by a conversation and Q&A with Ethiopian-Italian filmmaker Dagmawi Yimer.\n\nA leading voice in migrant cinema in Italy\, Yimer is also a co-founder of the Archivio delle Memorie Migranti\, a collective project dedicated to documenting migration from the perspectives of migrants and preserving their stories as part of Italy's contemporary cultural memory.\n\nVa' Pensiero follows the lives of Senegalese street vendors in Italy while examining anti-Black racism\, migration\, labor\, and everyday forms of exclusion. Beginning with the aftermath of the 2011 racist attack in Florence that killed two Senegalese men\, the film explores how migrant communities negotiate belonging within contemporary Italian society. Through multilingual testimony—including Italian\, Wolof\, and French—and observational documentary practice\, Va' Pensiero challenges conventional narratives of migration by foregrounding the voices and lived experiences of migrants themselves.\n\nThe screening will be followed by a conversation with Yimer about the making of Va' Pensiero\, documentary filmmaking as a form of witnessing and political storytelling\, and the representation of migration and Black life in contemporary Italy.\n\nThe event is part of “Migration\, Memory\, and the Politics of Witnessing: A Residency with Filmmaker Dagmawi Yimer\,” October 7–9\, 2026. For more information please write to gricco@umich.edu and amberbal@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Amy Franceschini / Futurefarmers
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAmy Franceschini is an artist and designer whose work facilitates encounter\, exchange\, and tactile forms of inquiry by calling into question the \"certainties\" of a given time or place where a work is situated. An overarching theme in her work is a perceived conflict between \"humans\" and \"nature\". Her projects reveal the history and currents of contradictions related to this divide by challenging systems of exchange and the tools we use to \"hunt\" and \"gather\". Using this as a starting point\, she creates relational objects that invoke action and inquiry\; not only to imagine\, but also to participate in and initiate change in the places we live.\n\nIn 1995\, Franceschini founded Futurefarmers as a collaborative platform to consider the social\, political\, and environmental organization of space. Futurefarmers use various media to deconstruct systems to visualize and understand their intrinsic logics\; food systems\, public transportation\, education. Through this disassembly\, they find new narratives and reconfigurations that form alternatives to the principles that once dominated these systems.\n\nFuturefarmers work is based in enmeshed acts of wandering and material processes. In the context of public art works\, they cultivate public life in place\, rather than inserting pre-determined forms and concepts into public space. They do so through a process-led approach\,inviting materials and communities to arrive and intersect at a specific site or situation. Through time and the practiced presence of Futurefarmers\, the meeting place of people and materials transform from provisional arrangements into durable forms and functions of their work\n\nFranceschini is a 2009 Guggenheim Fellow\, a 2019 Rome Prize Fellow and a 2017 recipient of the Herb Alpert Award for Visual Arts. She is the author of A Variation on the Powers of Ten\, For Want of a Nail\, and\, most recently\, Silicon Forest in 2026. Franceschini received a BFA in Photography from San Francisco State University and an MFA from Stanford University. She has taught in the visual arts graduate programs at California College of the Arts in San Francisco and Stanford University\, and in the Master of Eco-Social Design at the Free University in Bolzano\, Italy. \n\nWith support from Design Core Detroit\, Detroit UNESCO City of Design\, and U-M Student Life Sustainability. \n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n
