Kevin and Bill Withers have a connection deeper than their voices. A song by Bill Withers\, says Kevin\, “instantly attaches itself to my soul.” The late Bill Withers “told me in a roughly two-hour conversation we had many things that (pardon the pun) lean on today. One of those nuggets of insight was to ‘tell the stories that make me feel most vulnerable\, that’s what people connect with.’ His story relates to my story. His songs relate to different points in time in my life like no other as an artist. I hope to someday have an impact on someone else’s world the way Mr. Withers has had an impact on mine. … I hope that I did the songs justice. Big love\, Brother Bill Withers\, and big love to you all.”\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4542/4543 for more detail.

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan.

His new work—created for his exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery—is personal and abstract. Started as an attempt to paint for himself\, away from the center of things and off at the edges\, they are from the spaces of private thought that slip into existence and just as easily slip away. They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed. The paintings allow me to observe myself looking. I am acutely aware of time. Maybe they are an invitation to speculate.\" UID:116414-21836776@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Black History Month,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621197@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240111T085322 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Investigate Labs DESCRIPTION:Step into our two Investigate Labs\, where you can use scientific tools and museum specimens to answer questions and solve problems.

This talk will be recorded for later viewing.\n\nAbstract: In this talk\, I will explore the interesting geometries that emerge in high-dimensional attraction basins\, which are important in applications such as protein folding\, cell differentiation\, and neural networks. Using simple networks of coupled oscillators\, I will show that high-dimensional basins are generally highly nonconvex and nonlocal\, with most of the basin volume concentrated in tentacle-like structures. Next\, I will show that introducing non-pairwise interactions in the network can make basins deeper but smaller—the attractors become linearly more stable but much harder to find due to basins shrinking dramatically. I will end with a few applications to neuroscience.

Justifiably\, several studies have investigated engineering student persistence and attrition\, especially during the first year\, and then informed the development of interventions to address the challenges. While those interventions have improved freshmen retention in some institutions\, less has been published on the impacts of these interventions on the sophomore student experience. In this study\, we examined the experiences of sophomore engineering students and explored how these experiences relate to their identities as engineers. We conducted this study using photovoice\, a methodology/intervention in which participants submit photographs to help describe their experiences and give recommendations on improving their experiences and resolving their concerns. Through empowering participants to co-construct the knowledge\, we were able to see what interest\, competence\, and recognition as engineers looked like from the student’s perspectives. This work has the potential to yield practical solutions that institutional stakeholders can implement\, such as intentionally creating cultures of well-being\, self-reflection\, and belonging.

Of all the new planets that have been discovered\, gas giants are the easiest ones for us to find – they are bigger\, brighter\, and more massive than any other kind of planet. This means that they are ideal targets for characterization techniques that can tell us about the planet formation process\, and they are so massive that they dominate the dynamics of their systems\, impacting the formation of other planets. Gas giants are an obvious place for us to start if we want to learn about the physics of planet formation.\n\nIn this talk I will describe my work using multiple observational techniques to explore the formation and evolution of gas giants. I will discuss how targeting directly imaged planets with high-resolution spectroscopy enables measurements of new planetary properties like rotation rates\, obliquities\, and detailed atmospheric abundances. These provide fundamental insights into the physics of gas giant formation\, such as the evolution of planetary angular momentum. I will describe how leveraging high-contrast imaging techniques to look for planets in their infancy rules out gravitational scattering as the origin of wide-separation gas giants\, and constrains the timing of gas giant formation and migration. I will also talk about how radial velocity searches for Jupiter analogs in systems with known inner planets reveal the impact gas giants have on the inner architectures of planetary systems\, and are a key step in the search for life on other planets. Finally\, I will highlight the important role that the next-generation Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will have in extending these high-resolution spectroscopy measurements to directly imaged ice giant and terrestrials worlds\, opening new windows into their formation histories and enabling searches for biosignatures in their atmospheres.

My seminar will focus on the development of metathesis mechanisms to access heteroatom-rich polymer backbones\, new editing tools to transform existing polymer backbones into different ones\, and both strategies and tactics to depolymerize commodity polymeric materials into valuable small molecules. Specifically\, I will discuss iridium-guanidinate catalyzed ring-opening metathesis of cyclic carbodiimides and the current directions toward diazene metathesis\, as well as an array of rearrangement transformations—including Ireland-Claisen and aza-Cope—applied to edit the backbones of polymers. Besides the focus on polymer backbones\, retrosynthetic logic applied to polymeric materials will be another common thread woven throughout this seminar\, as it is a central element of the research in the Zhukhovitskiy group.

The usual answer has been domestic work\, but the field of slavery studies is in the midst of a historiographical turn toward the importance of sexual and reproductive labor. Enslaved women certainly performed these types of labor in medieval Mediterranean contexts\, and Professor Barker will introduce some of the sources that enable historians to understand these aspects of their enslavement. She will also argue that the framework of domestic\, sexual\, and reproductive labor remains insufficient to express the full range of enslaved women’s activities.\n\nHannah Barker is an associate professor of medieval history at Arizona State University. She studies connections between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean during the late medieval period\, especially the slave trade and the transmission of plague leading to the Black Death. Her book\, That Most Precious Merchandise: The Mediterranean Trade in Black Sea Slaves\, 1260-1500\, was published in 2019. It received the Paul E. Lovejoy Prize and the ASU Institute for Humanities Research book prize\, as well as honorable mentions for the Mediterranean Seminar’s Wadjih F. al-Hamwi Prize and the Middle East Medievalists book prize.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

The United Racisms of America: Conceptualizing\, Measuring and Understanding Anti-Black Human Rights Violations\, 1860-2010 DESCRIPTION:A great deal has been discussed about the different types and degrees of violence\discrimination directed against African Americans since they were brought to the United States. Unfortunately\, the work on this topic has largely been fragmented. We thus have separate literatures on slavery\, lynching\, Jim Crow (old and new)\, police violence\, disenfranchisement\, incarceration\, police violence and hate crimes. Despite suggestions that these are all manifestations of a singular underlying phenomenon\, there is very little empirical effort directed toward testing such an idea. Drawn from a larger research project on the consequences of racial violence funded by the Research Council of Norway\, the current talk explores whether and to what degree distinct forms of anti-Black human rights violations fit together in a coherent sense as well as how they vary across space and time. These data will not only shed much light on what was done to African Americans between the years 1860 and 2010 but it will also facilitate systematic evaluations of when things began to get worse and better\, what was the relative intensity of violations\, how long did bad/good periods last\, what are the legacies/consequences of anti-Black human rights violations as well as where efforts should be made to address PTSD\, reconciliation and/or reparations. This effort will also assist in the creation of a grand accounting of what has taken place by allowing individuals throughout the United States to provide their stories and archival material regarding what they experienced.\n\nThis event will not be live-streamed\, but a recording will be later shared.

These solutions can be stored symbolically and analytically continued to the real frequency axis. These advancements provide unprecedented access to correlation functions for both single and many-particle properties and have the potential to be applied to extension of density functional theory. However\, the path to the general application of these ideas is fraught with technical hurdles. We will review progress in diagrammatic methods as a whole and present calculations from our group in that context for the Jellium and 2D Hubbard models and discuss extensions to generalized multiband problems.\n\nIn particular our methodology provides access to response functions such as the optical conductivity. We will present a study of the frequency and temperature dependence of the optical conductivity in the weakly coupled two-dimensional Hubbard model using a renormalized perturbative expansion. The resulting conductivity shows a linear power law behaviour in the intermediate frequency regime. Moreover\, the associated transport scattering time and renormalized mass exhibit a Planckian behaviour.

The problem was posed by Leo Moser in 1966\, and the best known lower bound of 2.2195... was proved by Gerver in 1994\, by constructing a sofa whose boundary consists of 18 special curves. While it is conjectured that Gerver's sofa attains the maximum area\, the best published upper bound of 2.37 was proved by Kallus and Romik in 2018 using computer assistance.\n\nImproving upon the computer-assisted approach of Kallus and Romik\, we improve the upper bound to 2.32. Moreover\, without any computer assistance\, we prove a conceptually new upper bound of $1 + \pi^2/8$ = 2.2337... that is much closer to the lower bound of Gerver\, on a large subset of shapes which includes Gerver's sofa. We also discuss the possibility of making the upper bound of 2.2337... unconditional by building upon the approaches of the two results.

Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations. \n\n**New for 2023-24\, this workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session.

I am thinking through three distinct philosophical threads: Alain Locke’s ‘value theory\,’ Leonard Harris’ ‘insurrectionist ethics\,’ and Drucilla Cornell’s ‘imaginary domain.’ My purpose is to argue that a philosophical reading outside of fiscal interventions is to redefine how we critique Black social value through the intricacies of resistance\, occupancy of space\, and full citizenship for those who are historically racialized as Black. Therefore\, I will be looking at the art of talking back an ethical undertaking that will inform the reparative justice that will see Black people as fully humanized subjects. Arguably\, to think this through is to Imagine a domain of Black futurity and value.\n\nThis is a hybrid event UID:115731-21835441@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/115731 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Romance Languages And Literatures LOCATION:Off Campus Location - 4th Floor RLL Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240216T123216 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240201T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs: Investment Banking\, Private Capital Advisory - Virtual Information Session (2024) DESCRIPTION:Build a Solid Foundation with William Blair.\n\nAt William Blair we believe that investing in the growth and success of our employees iscritical to the success and growth of our clients – and the industry atlarge.\n\nIf you are currently a student interested in opportunities in Private Capital Advisory\, graduating between\nDecember 2025 - June 2026 and want to learn how William Blair’s programs can help jumpstart your career in investment banking\, we invite you to join us for an Information Session on February 1st from 5:00 - 6:00pm EST.\n\nLearn what it means to bepart of a culture of collaboration and accountability\, where you are empowered to choose your own path.\n\nYou must register via the William Blairlink above\; registering via Handshake will not register you for this event.

In 1979\, when the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia led to the ousting of the Khmer Rouge regime\, he fled with his family to Thailand\, spending four years in refugee camps before immigrating to the United States. Memories of traveling vast distances on foot and witnessing the devastation of war—broken bodies\, ravaged landscapes\, abandoned artillery\, ruined buildings\, and the breakdown of social and cultural institutions—underpin his early sculptural practice. While Pich studied painting\, earning a BFA from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst (1995)\, and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1999)\, he turned his attention to sculpture after returning to Cambodia in 2002 where he laboriously began working with local materials – bamboo\, old rafters\, rattan\, burlap\, beeswax\, broken utensils\, and earth pigments gathered from his local surroundings. Pich’s works have been collected and shown in many museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Guggenheim\, the Centre George Pompidou\, the Mori Art Museum\, M+\, and the National Gallery of Singapore\, as well as many international exhibitions including the 57th Venice Biennale (2017)\, Documenta 13 (2012)\, the 6th Asia Pacific Triennale (2009)\, the Setouchi Triennale (2022)\, and the Guangju Biennale (2023)\, among others. He lives and works in Phnom Penh\, Cambodia.\n\nPich’s work is featured in the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) exhibition Angkor Complex: Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia\, curated by U-M History of Art Professor Nachiket Chanchani and on view February 3 - July 2024. As crises of public health\, racial injustice\, economic instability\, and climate change spread worldwide\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, indebtedness\, and vulnerability. This mélange of unnerving emotions is hardly new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s population died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition. Bringing together more than eighty artworks spanning a millennium—including many on loan from collections worldwide—this landmark exhibition presents the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora and allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and of related upheavals and critically appreciate strategies evolved to nurture resilience.

The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Whether designing furniture or developing the ideas for sculpture\, the process has always been the same. Ideas begin as\nscribbled images that are then stretched and refined with CAD software. At its core\, much of the work studies the manipulation of simple geometry. Dunn looks at the form from different forced perspectives – exploding\, augmenting\, slicing\, repeating\, and lighting. This body of work is a study of perception\, sympathy\, hierarchy\, and reality. The “We Are Virus” series is an adaptation from an initial design where it continued to evolve and adapt through manipulation of parts and scale.\n\nPeter Dunn received his BFA from Wayne State University and MFA from University of Michigan.

His new work—created for his exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery—is personal and abstract. Started as an attempt to paint for himself\, away from the center of things and off at the edges\, they are from the spaces of private thought that slip into existence and just as easily slip away. They come from an internal conversation and contact with the world. \"When I am with them\,\" Riley explains\, \"I feel a tension between the spaces in the works being present but unnamed.

Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

The first step of RLHF involves learning human values using a reward model from ranking data. It is observed that the performance of the reward model degrades after one epoch of training\, and optimizing the language model too much against the learned proxy reward model hinders the true objective. This talk delves into these issues\, leveraging the theoretical insights from statistical decision theory to design improved reward learning algorithms. We also introduce advanced prompting techniques that generate high-quality synthetic ranking dataset for RLHF. By combining the high-quality RLHF dataset with our improved reward learning algorithms\, we created the open source language model Starling-7B\, which ranks first among all 7B models according to human evaluation in Chatbot Arena.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

This new spotlight surfaces research that has been conducted by many scholars for much longer\, highlighting their commitment to telling stories and honoring perspectives of diverse and minority communities. Their work reveals that while there is no unified queer experience in the region\, there is often a one-size-fits all state response to the reality of queer lives in many nations within the region. How can a queer-studies focus advance conversations about decolonization in East European and Eurasian Studies? To address this question\, Queer Focus will have six virtual panels featuring speakers from various disciplines and institutions. Panelists and participants will explore how gendered regimes were constitutive of Russo-centric relationships of power\, defining the region and how we study it\, as we collectively grapple with what it means to re-examine our current research\, teaching\, and institutional practices.\n\n*Panel 3 of the series will take a cultural view of queer studies within the region\, with a focus on cultural production and representation. * UID:117922-21840194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/117922 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:eastern europe,Gender,International LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240109T140626 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240202T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240202T120000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Data and AI Intensive Research with Rigor and Reproducibility (DAIR³) Training Program 2024 DESCRIPTION:About the program: Learn cutting-edge data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for biomedical and healthcare research\, ensure the rigor and reproducibility of your projects\, and network with fellow attendees from around the country!\n\nSupported by the National Institutes of Health\, the Data and AI Intensive Research with Rigor and Reproducibility (DAIR³) training program will be led by faculty and researchers from the University of Michigan\, the College of William and Mary\, Jackson State University\, and University of Texas San Antonio\; and cover the following:\n\n- Ethical issues in biomedical data science\n- Data management\, representation\, and sharing\n- Rigorous analytical design\n- The design and reporting of AI models\n- Reproducible workflows\n- Assessing findings across studies\n- Transformer-based AI for biomedical research\n\nWho should attend: university faculty members at any career level\, and \nresearch scientists (staff\, advanced postdocs and PhD students). \n\nWant to learn more?

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/63JV3\n\nThis paper extends a theory of disorientations to reveal how attempts to fix and control both water and people are disrupting once-fluid relationships between the Tonle Sap Lake and communities who have lived with-on the lake for generations. Using ethnographic and participatory mapping methods\, we examine the socio-ecological dynamics that preceded and succeeded in the forced relocation of three floating communities in 2018. It argues communities’ experiences challenge land-centric and event-centric understandings of displacement that pathologize fluid lifeways and fail to account for the materiality of water that has shaped floating villages\; multi-generational relationships with their wetland ecology. The concept of disorientations illuminates villagers’ experiences of relocation within a collapsing aquatic ecosystem–a collapse catalyzed by state efforts to impose fixity on both hydrological flow and community mobility. The lens of disorientations invites displacement debates to consider materialities of place—whether pulsing water or living\, shifting soils.\n \n Sopheak Chann is a visiting fellow at James Madison Colleges\, Michigan State University\, and a lecturer at the Department of Natural Resource Management and Development\, Royal University of Phnom Penh.

The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based treatment model for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The group is designed for parents and caregivers with children ages 5 and under who have diagnosed or suspected ASD or a Developmental Delay.\n\nThe parent training group is designed to teach parents these strategies to increase the number of intervention hours that young children receive. A secondary goal is to support parents of children with ASD/Developmental Delays and help them develop a community of parents in a similar life stage. Since it is a parent training group\, children are welcome but not required to attend.\n\nRequirements:\n1. In order to enroll in the group\, the caregiver must have a child ages 5 or under who has diagnosed or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder or developmental delay (e.g. speech delay\, Global Developmental Delay etc). \n\n2. Participating families must attend one group screening/orientation session prior to the start of the group\, to ensure that they are a good fit for the group. This initial screening appointment will last approximately 30-45 minutes.\n\nWhen: 12 – 1 p.m. Fridays\, beginning January 26 (10 weeks).\nWhere: Online via Zoom\n\nProspective clients should call UCCF at (734) 615-7853 to schedule their orientation/screening appointment.

A scholar\, an activist\, and a prolific writer\, Scarborough penned essays on politics\, travel\, art\, books\, and the place of classical studies in the education of African Americans during his career. \n\nThis pioneering Black classicist is the subject of the latest installment of the Kelsey in Focus program\, curated by T. G. Wilfong and on display throughout Black History Month. In this Flash Talk\, Professor Ronnick—who has conducted extensive research on Scarborough—will highlight the life and work of this remarkable but little-known historical figure\, all the while shedding light on his connections to museum founder Francis W. Kelsey\, the world of academia and classical studies during the late 19th century\, and African American history. \n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects.

Join us for the third seminar of the series: Climate Vulnerability & Health — How are we Responding?\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Pimentel Walker and Dr. Junghans will explore innovative housing solutions for climate resilience in self-built settlements in São Paulo\, Brazil and Bucaramanga\, Colombia.\n \nRegister: https://myumi.ch/Qqy5E\n\n—\nFull description: \nHeat is a growing health risk aggravated by expanding urbanization\, an increase in high-temperature extremes\, and demographic changes. Communities living in precarious settlements are disproportionately vulnerable to extreme heat. Although building techniques to improve indoor thermal comfort can be an adaptation option\, we lack design research tailored to the realities of self-built homes. Design research for passive cooling frequently stems from building standards in the Global North. In the Global South\, these strategies target middle-class buildings\, with higher-end formal construction built by design professionals and engineers.\n\nThis pilot project conducted an ethnographic account of auto-construction practices and constraints in two informal and precarious settlements in São Paulo\, Brazil\, and Bucaramanga\, Colombia. The computational simulations identified interventions that theoretically improve occupant thermal comfort by increasing air velocity and lowering indoor temperatures\, ultimately reducing heat stress. Our collaborative research in Burkina Faso has already implemented interventions\, and it is in the assessment stage. However\, are all identified passive cooling strategies equally feasible and responsive to community expectations? Working with community members and their advocacy networks\, we plan to co-develop passive cooling strategies that are desirable and achievable\, amplifying the voices of low-income residents in the policy agendas for climate and housing justice.

Zoom registration is required at: http://myumi.ch/j73q4\n\nThis event focuses on Soren Mau’s new book Mute Compulsion\, which argues that capitalism survives crises because of the historically unique form of abstract and impersonal power that is set in motion by the subjection of social life to the profit motive. Unlike the forces of violence or ideology that directly acts upon individuals\, Mau argues that economic power as a unique form of capitalist domination shapes the material and social environment in such a way as to indirectly compel people to produce and reproduce capitalist social relations. In the course of his argument\, Mau intervenes in debates covering several topics including: value form theory\, logistics and supply chains\, agricultural production\, ecology and the metabolic rift\, biopolitics\, crisis theory\, technology and humanism\, theories of the body\, biopolitics\, social reproduction and surplus populations\, and theories of the empirics of power.\n \n This event will bring together scholars from various disciplines including History\, Philosophy\, Political Science\, Cultural Studies\, and International Studies\, to engage in Mau’s interdisciplinary arguments that revolve around his central thesis of mute compulsion. The aim is to stimulate fresh insights across disciplines concerning the economic logic and domination specific to capitalism. Therefore this event has the potential to attract interest across disciplinary lines and to encourage collaboration at the University of Michigan. To this end\, we also hope to publish an edited collection of interdisciplinary essays on Mute Compulsion in collaboration with the event’s participants and other U-M scholars in different fields of research. This event will consequently be of interest to various departments within the University of Michigan community given its interdisciplinary focus and timeliness.\n \n Given that the main topic in Mute Compulsion is global capitalism\, this event also entails an international perspective that will speak to the University’s diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body. This event has panelists from the United States\, Canada\, Denmark\, and Mexico whose collective scholarship and research focuses on different global issues ranging from colonialism\, nationalism\, war\, ecology\, cosmopolitan socialism\, and the planetary commons. This event’s international perspective aims to synthesize knowledge about global issues that cross regions to offer a more comprehensive understanding of the world. Moreover\, as the inaugural event of International Studies’ new annual workshop series\, this event will help further the program’s commitment to developing interventions into complex international issues. This international perspective will encourage further collaboration between different national scholars and we hope to use this event to solicit additional perspectives and topics from the Global North and Global South for the proposed edited collection of essays on Mute Compulsion.\n \n This event will also be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students interested in enriching their pedagogical experience at the university. Students will have the opportunity to dialogue with junior and senior academics about their expertise in order to build knowledge in their own respective fields. They will also benefit by learning from the impressive and cutting edge scholarship of an upcoming major theorist writing in the critical tradition. We hope that students will be inspired by the new ideas generated during this event to further their own interests and scholarship during their study at the University of Michigan.\n \n Event Program\n The event involves two panels of three discussants each followed by a keynote talk by Soren Mau. Each panel will be an hour long (15 minutes per discussant followed by a 15 minute Q&A). There will be one 15 min break between panels. The keynote will be approximately 30-45 minutes with 15-20 minutes for Q&A.\n Panel 1 (1:00pm-2:00pm)\n Dr. Matt McManus\, Lecturer in Political Science\, U-M\n Lacey Slizeski\, PhD candidate in Political Science\, U-M\n \n Break (2:00pm-2:30pm)\n \n Panel 2 (2:30pm-3:30pm)\n Marion Trejo\, PhD candidate in Political Science\, York University\n Dr. Dave Zeglen\, Lecturer in International Studies\, U-M\n Jasmine Chorley-Schulz\, PhD candidate in Political Theory\, University of Toronto\n \n Keynote (3:30pm-4:30pm)\n Dr. Soren Mau\, Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy\, Aarhus University\n \n Panelist Biographies\n \n Søren Mau is a philosopher who specialises in Marxist theory.

I will discuss two ideas that make use of surprising properties of coherent radiation to open new directions for detection\n\nFirst is intensity interferometry\, which relies on the second-order coherence of light. By recording photon counts rather than electromagnetic fields at a telescope\, intensity interferometry admits longer baselines in the optical and thus greater precision than traditional interferometry. I will describe the Extended-Path Intensity Correlator (EPIC): a proposed telescope array that extends the scope of intensity interferometry. Combined with advances in spectroscopy and single-photon detection\, EPIC can achieve unprecedented precision in astrometry with applications including exoplanet detection and black hole measurements.\n\nSecond is superradiance: stimulated emission of radiation from an absorbing body. I will discuss how rotating black holes\, through the process of superradiance\, become laboratories in the sky for ultralight bosons including the elusive QCD axion. When a boson's Compton wavelength is comparable to the horizon size of a black hole\, the black hole spins down and converts energy into an exponentially growing cloud of bosons. Depending on the bosons' interactions\, the resulting systems can be visible across the spectra: emitting gravitational wave radiation\, populating the galaxy with axion waves\, or appearing as novel pulsar-like objects in the sky.

This yields a general mechanism for producing new incidence theorems and generalizing the known ones. \n\nThis is joint work with Pavlo Pylyavskyy [arXiv:2305.07728].

This modification is driven by the reactivity of the Earth’s rocky shell in near-surface conditions. Modified (or altered) rocks contain information about former climates even in the deep-past (i.e.\, Archean) when traditional marine sedimentary proxies are challenged due to their proneness to resetting. The water-rock reactions can be traced through geological time using the isotope exchange between silicates [SiO 4- —based structures] and H 2 O\, where isotopes of O have masses 16\, 17 and 18 Dalton. In this quest\, my colleagues and I use O-isotopes as tracers of this fluid reactivity in shallow continental and oceanic crust. Using triple O-isotope geochemistry (δ′ 18 O and Δ′ 17 O) and in-situ isotope methods\, we have looked at some of the oldest examples of Yellowstone-type systems\, where the heat of magma and surface waters produced distinct low-δ¹⁸O altered rocks. Such materials represent a chemically resilient isotope fingerprint of ancient atmospheric precipitation that is in turn reflective of climate in distant geological past (i.e.\, in absence of better proxies). In the presentation I show a recent case study on a magmatic-hydrothermal complex of Neoarchean age that recorded precipitation with δ¹⁸O as low as -18 ‰. High-precision U-Pb zircon ages constrain this record at 2673.5 ± 0.3 Ma. This strategy is used to create temporally constrained quantitative climate reconstructions that aid understanding of continental landmass elevation\, relative plate orientation and atmospheric gas content. I will also present some of our recent work on marine sediments that are traditionally used for paleoclimate reconstructions but suffer from diagenetic alteration. Some recent progress on experimental bulk rock-water exchange will be highlighted. Using tectonic and triple O-isotope context\, I show that not every sample can be used to reflect Earth’s surface conditions in a straightforward manner. Instead\, a new set of questions can be designed to study crustal conditions with materials that are susceptible to alteration.

Parsons Lecture 2024: Water\, Copper\, Earth Beings\, and Empire: Late Prehispanic Political Ecology in the High-Altitude Atacama Desert DESCRIPTION:Late Intermediate Period (ca. 950 – 1400 AD) farmers in the high-altitude\, hyperarid Atacama Desert of northern Chile sustained their communities by carefully managing land\, water\, and flocks and by maintaining good relations with powerful\, tutelary earth beings (mallkus). When the Inka entered this area in the early 15th century\, they took over the region’s productive copper mines\, built roads and state installations\, and reconfigured agriculture. Our collaborative project\, which focuses on sites between the upper Loa and Salado rivers\, investigates farming in this seemingly marginal environment. We additionally explore how agriculture and social relations (between people\, and between people and mallkus) were transformed by Inka intervention in access to water and copper minerals\, two resources around which life in this region revolved in the past as in the present. A focus on these two substances helps us to understand local organization and transformations under Inka rule\, and at the same time\, requires us to rethink purely economic explanations for imperial incorporation and actions.\n\nFrances Hayashida is Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Latin American and Iberian Institute at the University of New Mexico. Throughout much of her career she has studied late prehispanic political economy and ecology in desert regions of the Andes\, first in Lambayeque on the north coast of Peru\, and more recently\, in the high-altitude Atacama of northern Chile. With Andres Troncoso and Diego Salazar\, of the Universidad de Chile\, she co-edited Rethinking the Inka: Community\, Landscape and Empire in the Southern Andes (2022\, University of Texas Press)\, which highlights the theoretically innovative and empirically rich research of South American scholars on the Inka in Qullasuyu\, the vast and diverse southern sector of the Inka Empire.

They are committed to simply being themselves\, not chasing fame or brass rings\, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. “Music to cure what ails you” was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them\, and that is as true now as it was then. They’ve traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6\,000 shows\, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy’s Center’s Millennium Stage. They’ve recently begun referring to their career and touring as “Defiantly Hopeful.” In part due to their long career\, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them. “Folk music is\, at its heart\, defiantly hopeful!” founder David Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s\, at the confluence of Pete Seeger\, Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences\, than fame or money: this is our community of choice\, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.” Tonight’s show features the Mustard’s Retreat 2.0 duo of Tamulevich and Libby Glover\, who come to The Ark with a new album\, “By Request.”\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4334/4335 for more detail.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833416@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

How have their perspectives shaped the enduring stories of our history and visions of the past?\n \nYou’re Welcome is a three-part installation and dynamic intervention that exposes the histories and narratives of the land occupied by the University of Michigan and UMMA’s neoclassical building\, Alumni Memorial Hall. A large-scale commission from artist Cannupa Hanska Luger on the exterior of UMMA’s building asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making\, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems\, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories. \n \nLuger communicates stories of 21st-century Indigeneity\, sovereignty\, and anti-colonialism while offering critical cultural analysis through deep engagements with materials\, environments\, and communities. In addition to the exterior commission\, a gallery exhibition places Luger’s works of art in conversation with objects in UMMA’s collection\, allowing for discussion and thinking on long histories of collecting practices\, environmental degradation\, and the afterlife of colonialism. And\, a monument classroom from nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab invites the community to come together and examine how historic structures on the University of Michigan’s campus uphold social and cultural systems and narratives.  \n\nLead support for this project is provided by Teiger Foundation\, the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M Office of the President\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the U-M Marsal Family School of Education\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, Michigan Humanities\, and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621199@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240111T092357 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240203T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240203T121500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sea Monsters DESCRIPTION:The film follows a curious and adventurous Dolichorhynchops – familiarly known as a ‘dolly’ – as she travels through the most dangerous oceans in history.

Come to Chelsea's arm balancing workshop! Arm balances are some of the most fun\, exciting\, and challenging postures in the yoga practice. Most require a degree of open hip flexibility\, but don't let this deter you from starting this playful practice now! Using a refined and strong Chaturanga Dandasana\, the arm balance workshop will commence with a Vinyasa flow to warm up the body and neuro-pathways of the mind. Afterward\, we will begin exploring arm balances on the back (supine) to understand optimal skeletal alignment before taking flight.
