SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Evolution of Campus\, 1838-1963: A Cartographic Celebration of U-M's History
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the campus’ history and architecture and explore the campus that might have been. This exhibit highlights the U-M Ann Arbor campus\, both before its creation and throughout its continuous evolution. Featuring the work of famous architects such as Alexander Jackson Davis\, Albert Kahn and Eero Saarinen\, the exhibit presents maps\, plans\, architectural drawings\, proposals\, and photographs of the campus throughout its evolution.  \n\nThis exhibit was originally part of a larger exhibit displayed from July 2017 to January 2018 to commemorate U-M's bicentennial.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 9\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\nDanesh Moazed\, PhD\nProfessor and HHMI Investigator in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Sue Hammoud\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n\n__\n\nDanesh Moazed\, Ph.D.\, is a Professor and HHMI Investigator in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School.  He is a member of the Harvard Biophysics Program and the Harvard Initiative for RNA Medicine (HIRM). He received his undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California in Santa Cruz and performed postdoctoral studies at the University of California in San Francisco.\n\nThe Moazed lab studies how genes are silenced and how silencing is epigenetically inherited across generations.  The lab’s interests revolve around diverse pathways of heterochromatin-mediated gene silencing in yeast and mammalian cells.  Work in budding yeast focuses on the structure and function of a diverged and relatively simple form of heterochromatin\, which requires only three Silent information regulator (“Sir”) proteins that form a histone deacetylase and chromatin-binding complex.  Work in fission yeast focuses on a conserved example of heterochromatin that requires the nuclear RNA interference (RNAi) machinery\, other RNA processing pathways\, Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) homologs\, and histone-modifying enzymes.  In mammalian cells\, the work is focused on HP1-mediated and other heterochromatin formation pathways.  The lab uses approaches ranging from genetics and genomics\, biochemical purification and reconstitution\, and structural biology for their studies.  Ultimately\, the lab seeks to understand the conserved fundamental principles that govern the assembly\, function\, and epigenetic propagation of heterochromatin.
