Rather than asking “what if…?” questions of historical events when the outcomes are already known\, promissory speech says “if only… then…” as a way of linking present policy actions to anticipated future results. Drawing on examples from Japan and the United States\, Professor Thomas will show how recent efforts to reframe children’s historical consciousness reflect a dubious promissory premise: “If only the kids had more national pride\, then all of our problems would be solved.\"\n\nJolyon Baraka Thomas is associate professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Faking Liberties: Religious Freedom in American-Occupied Japan (University of Chicago Press\, 2019) and Drawing on Tradition: Manga\, Anime\, and Religion in Contemporary Japan (University of Hawaii Press\, 2012). Thomas’s current research projects include the monograph Difficult Subjects: Religion and the Politics of Public Education under the US-Japan Security Alliance\, a co-authored book called Animating Action\, and the co-edited New Nanzan Guide to Japanese Religions.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Yet\, disentangling spectral signals and extracting an intuitive picture of how excitations form\, move\, and exchange energy is one of the deepest and most persistent challenges of physical chemistry. In this talk\, I will offer two vignettes on our work developing and applying approaches to predict and understand spectral features in molecular and nanomaterial systems. In the molecular world\, I will show how our recent advances in condensed phase spectroscopy enable us to decipher a long-standing puzzle in porphyrin photophysics: why and how do the Q bands involved in energy transfer in photosynthesis and artificial energy conversion split? In the nanomaterial world\, I will highlight how we have been able to demonstrate how the unusual photophysics of atomically thin 2D materials enables hot carrier extraction for photocatalysis. Then\, I will illustrate how addressing the challenge of hot carrier extraction enabled us to develop a simple scheme to disentangle the signals of exotic quasiparticles that explain the tunability of the optical behavior of these materials as a function of potential\, laser fluence\, and time.

Indeed\, twisted bilayer graphene hosts flat topological bands\, but these bands host concentrated charge density\, experimental signs of fluctuating magnetism\, and signs of unconventional superconductivity. The emergence of fluctuating moments is particularly surprising\, as localized Wannier states do not exist in topological bands. I will discuss a model for the twisted bilayer graphene flat bands that centers the concentration of charge density and\, relatedly\, the concentration of Berry flux. After establishing good quantitative agreement with more microscopic models\, I will show how the model hosts parametrically decoupled flavor moments. These flavor moments are tied to Wannier states that are power-law delocalized\, with infinite localization length\, that nonetheless have parametrically small overlap with each other. I will conclude by discussing some experimental implications for this picture.

It remains mysterious in many ways and is of particular interest because of its relation to quantum invariants of knots and links such as the Jones polynomial. In recent work\, I came across a relationship between this representation and a moduli space of Euclidean cone metrics on spheres (think e.g. convex polyhedra) first examined by Thurston. After introducing the relevant definitions\, I'll explain a bit about this connection and how I used the geometric structure on this moduli space to exactly identify the kernel of the Burau representation after evaluating its formal parameter at complex roots of unity. There will be many pictures!

The nth symbolic power P^(n) of P can be geometrically interpreted as the set of regular functions of R that vanish to order n at the generic point of V(P). With this geometric insight\, if P\subseteq Q are prime ideals within the non-singular locus of Spec(R)\, then the Local Zariski-Nagata Theorem states P^(n)\subseteq Q^(n) and translates into a natural criterion for vanishing order along non-singular algebraic sets: functions vanishing to order n at the generic point of V(P) must vanish to order at least n at the generic point of V(Q).\n \nHowever\, when Q is a singular prime\, the behavior of vanishing orders becomes less intuitive. Huneke\, Katz\, and Validashti's Uniform Chevalley Lemma rectifies this scenario by providing a constant C\, depending on Q\, such that if a function vanishes to order Cn at the generic point of V(P)\, then it must vanish to order at least n at the generic point of V(Q).\n \nIn our exploration of uniformity in Noetherian rings\, we introduce the Uniform Izumi-Rees Property\, which eliminates the dependency of the constant C on Q in the Uniform Chevalley Lemma. Furthermore\, we establish that normal domains essentially of finite type over a field enjoy the Uniform Izumi-Rees Property.

With her highly personalized language of characters\, faces\, creatures\, and messages\, Martin invites viewers to actively engage in the creative process. Using drawing as a physical stream-of-consciousness\, her work is characterized by a unique freedom\, expressed through the possibilities of her chosen ‘canvas’ – whether a piece of paper or textile\, a sculptural surface\, wall or screen.\n\nMartin is a designer\, curator\, cultural facilitator\, choreographer\, performer\, teacher\, and more. She has collaborated with iconic brands such as Vitra\, Max Mara\, Tiffany & Co\, and B&B Italia\, and in 2021 The North Face launched a Shantell Martin collection featuring her drawings inspired by pieces from their Search & Rescue archive. She has also collaborated with legendary artists such as Pulitzer Prize-winning performance artist Kendrick Lamar and acclaimed designer Kelly Wearstler. \n\nFrom design\, fashion\, and celebrity collaborations to positions at MIT Media Lab\, NYU\, Columbia University’s Brown Institute\, and choreographing a ballet at the Boston Ballet\, Martin’s drawn LINE constantly evolves. Creating new connections\, she explores themes such as intersectionality\, identity\, and play. \n\nIn addition to solo shows at renowned art institutions including the 92Y Gallery in New York City\, the iconic Albright Knox Gallery\, and the New Britain Museum of American Art\, Martin has carved a path for herself as a producer and visual artist. At the Brown Institute for Media Innovation\, she created a large-scale wall installation and worked with the Institute’s research group to explore how visual and computerized storytelling might influence media and technology innovation.

Some of the greatest American playwrights – such as Arthur Miller\, David Mamet\, and Eugene O’Neill – were directly influenced by Chekhov.\n\nAfter a prolonged absence following the death of her son\, noblewoman Lyobov Ranevskaya returns to her estate and finds the cherry orchard on the estate in full bloom. Despite this outward sign of prosperity\, her home is on the verge of financial ruin. Along with her brother\, Gaev\, Lyobov struggles to maintain the façade of gentility as their world crumbles around them.\n\nWritten by Anton Chekhov\nTranslated by Paul Schmidt\nDirected by Daniel Cantor\n\nFUN FACTS: Is *The Cherry Orchard* a comedy or a tragedy? It depends on who you ask. According to artlark.org\, “The original intention of Chekhov was for *The Cherry Orchard* to be a comedy\; yet\, [Constantin] Stanislavsky [famous actor/director and creator of the eponymous Stanislavsky method\, known as ‘method acting’] turned it into a tragedy.” Russian literature scholar Svetlana Evdokimova quotes Stanislavsky as saying\, “‘This is not a comedy\, not a farce\, as you wrote\; it is a tragedy\, whatever outlet for a better life you may have offered in the last act… I hear you saying: “Wait a minute\, but this is a farce…” No\, for an ordinary person this is a tragedy.’” Yet this conflict is what makes *The Cherry Orchard* such good theatre. As Evdokimova says\, “Clearly\, the source of the comic lies not in the play’s fabula or situation\, not in what happens\, but in how it happens and to whom it happens. The enigmatic\, captivating\, and almost mesmerising effect that *The Cherry Orchard* continues to exert on its audience is to be found in its good-humoured but foolish protagonists – both charming in their gullibility and pathetic in their utter confusion.” UID:108345-21819376@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/108345 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Comedy,In Person,North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240402T181639 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240404T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240404T210000 SUMMARY:Auditions:[Cancelled] Robert Wesley Mason\, voice DESCRIPTION:This performance has been cancelled and will be rescheduled.

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.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment. \n\nAbout the artist:\nSusan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature\, culture\, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection\, documentation\, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats\, including installation\, video\, prints\, and drawings\, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.\n\nCampbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium\, Germany\, Switzerland\, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US\, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Queens Art Museum\, Crystal Bridges Museum\, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit\, Grand Rapids Art Museum\, the Detroit Institute of Arts\, The Drawing Center\, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.\n\nCampbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts\, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts\, the Jentel Foundation\, Beisinghoff Print Residency\, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, New York Public Library\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Toledo Museum of Art\, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.\n\nThis project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

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.

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.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. 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. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817773@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andrea Carlson Future Cache DESCRIPTION:In Andrea Carlson Future Cache\, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors\, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15\, 1900. 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:114750-21833469@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.

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. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n  UID:86001-21795854@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86001 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Faculty,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240328T163416 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Seminar Series: Joe Hogan\, Carole and Lawrence Sirovich Professor of Public Health\, Professor & Chair of Biostatistics\, Department of Biostatistics & School of Public Health\, Brown University DESCRIPTION:Successful implementation of antiretroviral treatment programs in sub-Saharan Africa has transformed HIV and AIDS from an emerging global health catastrophe to a manageable chronic condition. The HIV care cascade is a conceptual model describing key milestones in successful delivery of care and treatment for people living with HIV. These include diagnosis of HIV\, linkage and retention in care\, initiation of antiretroviral therapy\, and suppression of viral load. Many care programs\, such as AMPATH in western Kenya\, have implemented electronic health records with point-of-care interface for visualizing patient records and entering data in real time. This has improved the ability of care providers to track outcomes and\, where necessary\, intervene to improve them.\nIn this talk we describe development and implementation of a Bayesian decision support module geared toward maximizing retention in care – a critically important component of the cascade. The goal of the project is to identify in advance those patients at high risk for missed visit\, interruption in treatment\, and loss to follow up. The project involves building and validating predictive models derived from an electronic health record system\, embedding the models in the EHR back end to generate real-time predictions of missing a scheduled visit\, and using the predictions to activate pre-visit outreach by clinic staff. Our model addresses several idiosyncrasies in the data\, such as competing risks\, discontinuous hazard functions\, and missing predictors. We describe how to use the posterior predictive distribution to generate various types of insights\, such as flagging patient-level features that explain risk classification and identifying optimal timing for the next appointment. We also show the implementation of the model at the point of care and describe our plans for evaluating the impact of the decision support process.\n\nThis is joint work with Arman Oganisian and Nick Lewis at Brown University\, and Ann Mwangi at Moi University in Eldoret\, Kenya.

Upon modeling participants’ choice of order price and order type\, I identify their latent value distributions from observed orders and trades. The model flexibly allows for dynamics\, risk aversion\, and default behavior. Counterfactual simulations suggest the observed exchange attains substantially lower trade surplus than the benchmark of periodic uniform-price market clearing. Droughts exacerbate the gap in surplus per unit traded between the observed exchange and the benchmark. I assess the role of volume frictions\, price shading\, and temporal dispersion in explaining the gap.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Jean Coven Speakers Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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:84303-21621252@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:20240405T102030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:2024 Graduate Student Appreciation Week DESCRIPTION: UID:120243-21844464@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/120243 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:OGPS Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240327T120101 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:20th Annual Michigan Geophysical Union DESCRIPTION:MGU is a friendly forum designed to showcase and reward outstanding student research in various aspects of Earth (oceanic\, atmospheric\, geophysics\, climate etc...) and Space sciences\, as well as foster interdepartmental dialogue and camaraderie.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/W281w\n\nNor Ismah introduces a novel approach to examining fatwas (Islamic legal opinions) within the context of Indonesia\, with the aim of contributing to the broader field of Islamic Studies on fatwa-making. It advocates for a redirection of research attention towards women's fatwa-making\, emphasizing their lived experiences and the specific locales where they issue fatwas. By integrating Islamic studies frameworks with anthropological research and gender studies\, my presentation challenges the conventional concentration on male-dominated institutions\, highlighting the grassroots level practice of issuing fatwas\, particularly by women.\n \n She contends that fatwa-issuing institutions exhibit gendered structures that marginalize women from significant roles and recognition as Islamic scholars. Consequently\, an exploration of women's fatwa-making necessitates an examination of various interaction sites between female muftis and those seeking fatwas. These interactions unveil dynamic shifts in women's experiences\, religious authority\, and everyday fatwa-making practices influenced by context-specific resources. The active participation of women disrupts traditional norms\, challenging gendered structures within fatwa-making institutions.\n \n Additionally\, it signifies the evolution of doctrinal changes and ethical practices\, transforming fatwas from static outcomes into a dynamic and inclusive realm of interaction\, innovation\, and Islamic authority. The presentation argues that the success observed in Indonesia holds paramount importance for a comprehensive understanding of Muslim women's experiences in contemporary Muslim society. To achieve a holistic perspective\, the study recommends shifting the focus away from the Middle East and expanding research to encompass Muslims in other regions\, particularly Southeast Asia\, where the most populous Muslim country is situated. This shift is envisioned to offer a well-rounded depiction of the diverse experiences of Muslim women beyond the conventional geographical center of Islam.\n \n Nor Ismah is Deputy Director of the Institute of Southeast Asian Islam at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University in Indonesia. She holds a Master’s degree in Southeast Asian Studies from the School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa\, completing her studies in 2012 with the support of the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program. From 2016 to 2023\, she pursued her PhD studies at the Leiden University Institute for Area Studies (LIAS)\, sponsored by the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education under the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia. Nor Ismah’s research focuses on Islam\, women's knowledge production\, and media. In recognition of her scholarly achievements\, Nor Ismah was awarded the Co2libri Early Career Researcher Fellowship at the Institute of Asian and African Studies\, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2023. She received the prestigious 2023-2024 Association of Asian Studies Gosling-Lim Postdoctoral Fellowship in Southeast Asian Studies\, which is hosted by and has brought her to the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

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.

As a young curator specializing in Roman art at the Kelsey Museum\, Professor Gazda was given the task of publishing the statuette. In her article\, which appeared in 1981 alongside the excavation reports\, she dated the statuette to the late antique period based on its style\, archaeological findspot\, and cultural context in Carthage of the period of St. Augustine. \n\nAlthough her conclusion was surprising at the time\, since then\, the Ganymede has appeared regularly in scholarship on late antique art. Then\, in 2013\, the statuette was stolen from the museum that U-M’s team had built at the archeological site and where the Ganymede had served as the centerpiece. Thanks to Interpol\, the statuette was recovered in 2017. Now\, after 40-plus years\, Professor Gazda is working on another article in which she assesses the influence of the Carthage Ganymede on the field of late antique art history and presents an object biography of the changing meaning and value of the statuette from antiquity to the present day. Her talk will focus on her current research.\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. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.

The exhibition will take place in various locations\, including a shipping container - the XR/XF pod - that will travel between 2 locations in Ann Arbor during the first two weeks of April.\n\nThe city of Ann Arbor has always been feminized. The story goes that in 1824\, John Allen and Elisha W. Rumsey founded the town and named it after their wives\, who were both named Ann. Since then\, the city has been anthropomorphized as a feminine body throughout the years. In the 1980s\, the University of Michigan’s football rivals in Ohio invented the infamous slogan\, “Ann Arbor is a Whore!” as a method to jeer at the opposition. Since then\, this offensive slogan has spread across the US and reappears every Fall during football season in Ann Arbor\, proliferating through both physical and digital objects. As one recent social media commenter notes: “That's what happens when you have a chick name for your city.”\n\nWith this project\, we strike/suspend gender from the city’s name: Ann Arbor is neither trophy wife nor whore. Instead\, we pose Ann Arbor as a feminist cyborg\, a feminist map\, and a creative\, participatory organism. We construct the body of the city differently\, with artistic intervention and cyberfeminist means: physical and digital installation\, activations of public space\, music\, performances\, and workshops.

We investigate what these features imply in the context of a repeated strategic interaction. First\, we show that opportunities for intertemporal trade may expand the set of feasible payoffs relative to that in a static interaction. Two distinct sources for such trade are identified: endogenous heterogeneity in the players’ rates of time preference and a hedging motive pertaining to the intertemporal distribution of risk. The set of equilibrium payoffs may on the other hand shrink drastically as many efficient outcomes become unsustainable no matter the level of patience. This “antifolk” result occurs when the players prefer stage outcomes to be positively correlated rather than independent across time. Intuitively\, such preferences make it inefficient to offset short-term losses with future gains\, while this is needed to ensure that security levels are met on path. We also establish a folk theorem: if security levels are met on path\, such play can be sustained in a subgame perfect equilibrium provided that the players are sufficiently patient.\n\nThis talk is presented by the Economic Theory Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Mark Harms Fund and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Most coarse-grained (i.e. two fluid) models only solve for one-point moments\, limiting reproduction of important two-phase flow statistics. In this talk\, we present set of equations describing the evolution of these flows that include fluctuating components of filtered fields --- a description of the level of clustering present in these flows. For dilute heavy particles settling in homogeneous isotropic turbulence\, the averaged filtered drag and filtered Reynolds-stress like term that dictates enhanced settling is correlated to this description of volume fraction fluctuation. A data-driven approach that efficiently traverses parameter space in direct numerical simulations to inform closures is proposed\, providing both descriptive insights and directions for future modeling. Further\, a numerical crossflow experiment is proposed\, yielding several advantages over traditional forced homogeneous isotropic turbulence for the study of turbulent particle-laden flows. The filtered volume fraction is shown to be valuable in that it may enable better fits for unclosed quantities related to particle drag and particle-phase momentum flux in coarse-grained simulations.\n\n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:114771-21833586@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114771 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240401T081409 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Belyi's theorem DESCRIPTION:Belyi’s theorem states that a smooth projective complex algebraic curve (i.e. a compact Riemann surface) can be defined over a number field if and only if it can be expressed as a branched covering of the projective line ramified over at most 3 points\, providing a purely topological characterization of an arithmetic condition.

Rising surface temperatures likewise guarantee new conditions of drought and flood\, exacerbated by a slowing jet stream that will tend to stall weather systems in unpredictable ways. Our changing cryospheres and hydrospheres promise misery to millions across the planet. But they also reveal forms of material connectivity that could potentially be mobilized in the struggle against climate change and the petroculture that produced it. In this presentation\, we juxtapose Cymene Howe’s elemental ethnography of the transformation of ice into water in the Arctic with Dominic Boyer’s research on how Houstonians are seeking to adapt to the increasing presence of stormwater in their lives. We discuss a concept we call “hydrological globalization” to highlight the elemental connections and cultural impacts that follow from the redistribution of water across the planet. We also highlight how hydrological precarity creates new possibilities for alliances across the world built out of shared Anthropocene experiences like droughts\, fires and flooding.\"\n\nDominic Boyer is an anthropologist\, media maker and environmental researcher who teaches at Rice University where he served as Founding Director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Research in the Human Sciences (2013-2019). He recently published Energopolitics (Duke UP\, 2019)\, which analyzes the politics of wind power development in Southern Mexico and Hyposubjects (Open Humanities Press\, 2021)\, an experimental collaboration with Timothy Morton concerning politics in the Anthropocene. With Cymene Howe\, he made a documentary film about Iceland’s first major glacier (Okjökull) lost to climate change\, Not Ok: a little movie about a small glacier at the end of the world (2018). In August 2019\, together with Icelandic collaborators they installed a memorial to Okjökull’s passing\, an event that attracted media attention from around the world and which caused The Economist to create their first-ever obituary for a non-human. During 2021-22 he held an artist residency at The Factory in Djúpavík\, Iceland\, and was a Berggruen Institute Fellow in Los Angeles working on a project on “Electric Futures.” His most recent book is titled No More Fossils (U Minnesota Press\, 2023) a discussion of fossil fuel fossils and what is to be done about them.\n\nCymene Howe is Professor of Anthropology and Founding Co-Director of the Science and Technology Studies Program at Rice University. Her books include Intimate Activism (Duke 2013) and Ecologics: Wind and Power in the Anthropocene (Duke 2019)\, and the co-edited collections Anthropocene Unseen (Punctum 2020)\, Solarities: Elemental Encounters and Refractions (Punctum 2023)\, and The Johns Hopkins Guide to Critical and Cultural Theory. Her research has been funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation\, the Fulbright Commission\, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and she was awarded The Berlin Prize for transatlantic dialogue in the arts\, humanities\, and public policy. Her current research examines the changing dynamics between people and bodies of ice in the Arctic region and sea level adaptation in coastal cities around the world. Out of her research in the Arctic region\, she co-created documentary film Not Ok: A Little Movie about a Small Glacier at the End of the World (2019) and the memorial for Okjökull\, the world’s first funeral for a glacier fallen to climate change.

DESCRIPTION:During the different stages of my career - from being a physics student to being a researcher in materials science - diversity\, equity\, inclusion and accessibility have taken different meaning\, increasing importance and growing attention. Through personal experiences and through learning the experiences of others\, I have come to realize the significant impact of DEIA on our career paths and on our lives\; the major influence of role models in our choices\; the importance of mentoring\; and the power of making time and space for difficult conversations. \nWhile investigating radiation-matter interactions and the world of materials and how we can improve them\, I have learnt that open-mindedness and lifelong learning are necessary not only in our research but also in how we create fertile environments for meaningful education\, impactful research and groundbreaking innovation. In this seminar I will talk about my career path in radiation effects and about ways and activities to improve the DEIA culture in STEM education and research.\nWork was supported by the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences\, a US Department of Energy\, Office of Science User Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and by the U.S. Department of Energy\, Office of Science\, Basic Energy Sciences\, Materials Sciences and Engineering Division.\n\nBio\nEva Zarkadoula is R&D Staff in the Center for Nanophase Materials Science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Some of the greatest American playwrights – such as Arthur Miller\, David Mamet\, and Eugene O’Neill – were directly influenced by Chekhov.\n\nAfter a prolonged absence following the death of her son\, noblewoman Lyobov Ranevskaya returns to her estate and finds the cherry orchard on the estate in full bloom. Despite this outward sign of prosperity\, her home is on the verge of financial ruin. Along with her brother\, Gaev\, Lyobov struggles to maintain the façade of gentility as their world crumbles around them.\n\nWritten by Anton Chekhov\nTranslated by Paul Schmidt\nDirected by Daniel Cantor\n\nFUN FACTS: Is *The Cherry Orchard* a comedy or a tragedy? It depends on who you ask. According to artlark.org\, “The original intention of Chekhov was for *The Cherry Orchard* to be a comedy\; yet\, [Constantin] Stanislavsky [famous actor/director and creator of the eponymous Stanislavsky method\, known as ‘method acting’] turned it into a tragedy.” Russian literature scholar Svetlana Evdokimova quotes Stanislavsky as saying\, “‘This is not a comedy\, not a farce\, as you wrote\; it is a tragedy\, whatever outlet for a better life you may have offered in the last act… I hear you saying: “Wait a minute\, but this is a farce…” No\, for an ordinary person this is a tragedy.’” Yet this conflict is what makes *The Cherry Orchard* such good theatre. As Evdokimova says\, “Clearly\, the source of the comic lies not in the play’s fabula or situation\, not in what happens\, but in how it happens and to whom it happens. The enigmatic\, captivating\, and almost mesmerising effect that *The Cherry Orchard* continues to exert on its audience is to be found in its good-humoured but foolish protagonists – both charming in their gullibility and pathetic in their utter confusion.” UID:113751-21831541@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/113751 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Comedy,In Person,North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240402T121643 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:University Symphony Orchestra DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Kiesler\, conductor\n\nPROGRAM\n\nMahler\, Symphony No. 5 UID:108747-21820347@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/108747 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240402T181642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240405T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Victoria Pinto\, voice DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate Victoria Pinto performs a vocal recital.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

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).

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

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:114750-21833470@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.

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. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n  UID:86001-21795855@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86001 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Faculty,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240406T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240406T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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:84303-21621253@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:20240327T111334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240406T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240406T140000 SUMMARY:Other:Walking Her Path\, Participatory Sound Walk for XR/XF DESCRIPTION:RSVP Here: https://bit.ly/3IWxM5m\n\nWalking Her Path is a public soundwalk experience. Participants will engage in the exploration of their sonic environment\, with a focus on listening from a perspectives shaped by the experiences of womanhood and gender dynamics. This activity involves walking\, listening and recording\, serving as an intentional exercise in auditory examination. During the soundwalk\, participants will be invited to actively listen to both the cacophony and the subtleties of everyday life through a feminist lens. They will be prompted to tune into sounds that may symbolize the experiences of womanhood\, empowerment\, or oppression. For example\, the sound of footsteps might symbolize independence and determination\, whereas the noise from construction sites or the abrupt blare of car horns might be seen as symbolic of societal interruptions or aggressive intrusions. Attendees will be equipped with handheld field recorders and encouraged to capture sounds that resonate with them personally. Moreover\, participants will be encouraged to provide narrations during the soundwalk\, articulating their reasons for selecting particular sounds and what those sounds represent to them.\n\nThis event is part of a greater series called\, \"XRXF: Extended Realities\, Extended Feminisms.\" Learn more here: https://xrxf.net/.

The exhibition will take place in various locations\, including a shipping container - the XR/XF pod - that will travel between 2 locations in Ann Arbor during the first two weeks of April.\n\nThe city of Ann Arbor has always been feminized. The story goes that in 1824\, John Allen and Elisha W. Rumsey founded the town and named it after their wives\, who were both named Ann. Since then\, the city has been anthropomorphized as a feminine body throughout the years. In the 1980s\, the University of Michigan’s football rivals in Ohio invented the infamous slogan\, “Ann Arbor is a Whore!” as a method to jeer at the opposition. Since then\, this offensive slogan has spread across the US and reappears every Fall during football season in Ann Arbor\, proliferating through both physical and digital objects. As one recent social media commenter notes: “That's what happens when you have a chick name for your city.”\n\nWith this project\, we strike/suspend gender from the city’s name: Ann Arbor is neither trophy wife nor whore. Instead\, we pose Ann Arbor as a feminist cyborg\, a feminist map\, and a creative\, participatory organism. We construct the body of the city differently\, with artistic intervention and cyberfeminist means: physical and digital installation\, activations of public space\, music\, performances\, and workshops. From the Bell Tower on central campus to the parking lot of the Liberty Annex\, we offer a creative activation that is both physical and digital and a fluid/complex/distributed image of the city through both XR and feminist means.\n\nCurated by Alina Nazmeeva and Yvette Granata. In collaboration with Tiffany Ng\, Tyler Musgrave\, Julie Zhu\, and Anıl Çamcı. Supported by the Arts Initiative at University of Michigan.
