SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Mentorship Under the Microscope: The Art of Being a Mentor & Mentee
DESCRIPTION:Mentorship is often framed as a one-way transfer of knowledge\, but in reality\, it is a dynamic\, reciprocal process. Additionally\, postdocs and graduate students often serve in a dual capacity with roles as a mentor and mentee. This mentorship retreat examines mentorship as a practice that requires reflection and skill-building from both sides of the relationship. We will talk strategies and best practices about what it means to balance being both a mentor and a mentee in a research environment.\nA complimentary breakfast and lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Momentary Landscape
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition\nDiane Lavoie’s large-scale textile artworks are made entirely from up-cycled materials and are often placed in direct visual conversation with the natural landscape. Through the artist's choice of materials and visual subject matter\, the springtime installation *Momentary Landscape* is intended to emphasize important work surrounding sustainability\, climate change\, and environmental issues through the arts. The project is scheduled to unfold in the lobby of the South Thayer Building during exam week\, offering students and visitors a restorative\, reflective\, and joyful experience through public art installation.\n\nAbout the artist\nDiane Lavoie is a North American visual artist based in Berlin\, Germany. Her art represents a dialogue between the natural and artificial world\, and explores the boundaries between reality and perception. In her practice\, Lavoie creates large-scale\, textile representations of natural environments in contrast and connection with the actual environs surrounding them. Lavoie holds an MFA in painting from California State University Long Beach and a BFA in illustration from Massachusetts College of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private and public collections in the US and Europe.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Master's Thesis Defense Seminar> An in vivo model for mammary-specific claudin 7 knockout
DESCRIPTION:The mammary is a highly plastic organ that undergoes epithelial remodeling several times over the course of a mammal’s lifetime. Physiological development of the mammary is well established in literature\, but the role tight junctions play in shaping the mammary gland is less understood. Development of epithelial tissues depends\, in part\, on the adherence of cells to maintain tissue integrity while remodeling. Claudin 7\, a tight junction protein expressed in the developing epithelia\, exhibits a strong presence in mammary epithelia. In this thesis we explore potential roles of claudin 7 in epithelial remodeling. We used a Cre/flox system to design an in vivo mammary-specific Cldn7 knockout. We validated our mouse line genotype using PCR genotyping. We used carmine alum staining\, hematoxylin and eosin staining\, and immunofluorescent staining to visualize wild type and Cldn7 Cre/flox mammary glands. This thesis furthers the knowledge of mammary gland morphogenesis by providing a foundation for a new approach to mammary remodeling in vivo.
