SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Threads of Heritage: Syrian Textiles as Living History
DESCRIPTION:View \"Threads of Heritage: Syrian Textiles as Living History\,\" a cultural exhibit exploring the artistry\, symbolism\, and regional diversity of traditional Syrian garments. Featuring handcrafted pieces from cities such as Hama\, Aleppo\, Homs\, and Saraqib\, the exhibit highlights textile practices that reflect identity\, memory\, and cultural continuity. Many of these traditions are increasingly at risk of disappearing\, making preservation efforts especially urgent. \n\nThis exhibit\, on display in the rotunda of the Clark Library\, follows a live presentation held on March 30 and offers you an opportunity to engage with Syrian textile heritage as both an artistic and historical narrative.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Symposium on Judaism and Film
DESCRIPTION:This symposium celebrates the forthcoming 38-chapter volume The Oxford Handbook of Judaism and Film edited by Olga Gershenson. This volume offers the first comprehensive survey of the flourishing interdisciplinary field\, while challenging the geographic and conceptual boundaries of Jewish cinema. For too long\, the field has circled around a narrow set of places and stories\, about immigration\, assimilation\, antisemitism\, and the Holocaust. This Handbook proposes a broader\, more capacious understanding of Jewish film—one that moves past the assumption that Jewishness on screen must be mimetic\, historical\, or tied to the US\, Europe\, and Israel. Highlighting new research on Jews on and off screen in India\, Ethiopia\, Turkey\, Mexico\, the Arab world\, and beyond\, the contributions show how Jewishness operates as a global interpretive mode rather than a fixed set of themes. This expanded lens reveals how Jewish frames of thinking\, cultural practices\, and historical experiences structure filmmaking and spectatorship across wildly diverse geographies and contexts. The result challenges old stereotypes and opens up a bigger\, more complex world of Jewish film.\n\nThis symposium is an experimental and experiential format. Instead of formal presentations\, we will have three kinds of sessions: Salons\, Classrooms\, and Screenings.\n\nSUNDAY\, APRIL 19\nMichigan League\, Koessler Room (3rd Floor)\n10:00 - 10:30 AM		Welcome\n10:30-11:15 AM		Session 1: Judaism in Hollywood Biblical Epics\n11:30 AM - 12:30 PM 	Session 2: Jews in Indian Cinemas\n12:30 - 2:15 PM		Lunch Break\n2:15 - 3:00 PM		Session 3: Reading Jewish Films as Jewish Texts \n3:15 - 4:15 PM		Session 4: Disability films and the Aftermath of the Holocaust\n4:30 - 5:15 PM		Session 5: Pedagogy\, Judaism\, and Film\n\n\nMONDAY\, APRIL 20\nMichigan Union\, Wolverine Room (3rd Floor)\n10:00 - 10:45 AM		Session 6: Fashion and Whiteness in American Jewish Immigration Films\n11:00 AM - 12:15 PM	Session 7: Judaism on Screen: from “Off the Derech” to Haredi \n12:15 - 2:00 PM		Lunch Break \n2:00 - 2:45 PM		Session 8: Erwin Leiser’s Holocaust Documentary \"Mein Kampf\" (1960)\n3:00 - 4:00 PM		Session 9: Jewish Film Festivals\n4:15 - 5:00 PM		Session 10: Jewishness in Post-Stalinist Soviet Cinema and TV\n\nRackham Graduate School\, Amphitheater (4th Floor)\n6:30 - 8:30 PM	        Film Screening: \"Sabbath Queen\" (2024\, dir.

He is torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and becomes a drag-queen rebel\, a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul\, a pop-up experimental congregation. Sabbath Queen joins Amichai as he reinvents religion and ritual\, challenges patriarchy and supremacy\, champions interfaith love\, and stands up for peace and an end to the Occupation in Israel/Palestine.\nTrailer\n\n\nTUESDAY\, APRIL 21\nMichigan League\, Koessler Room (3rd Floor)\n10:00 - 10:45 AM		Session 12: Ethiopian Jews on Screens\n11:00 AM - 12:15 PM	Session 13: Jews in Arab Cinemas\n12:15 - 2:00 PM		Lunch Break\n2:00 - 2:45 PM		Session 14: Transnational Dybbuks\n3:00 - 4:00 PM		Session 15:  Jewish British Cinema\n4:15 - 5:00 PM                Session 16: Jewish-Muslim Relations in Film\n		\nRackham Graduate School\, Amphitheater (4th Floor)\n6:30 - 8:30 PM		Film Screening:  \"My One and Only\" (2025\, dir.
