Search Engines is funded by the U-M Arts Initiative and the DISCO Network\, housed in the Digital Studies Institute. In the last year\, Search Engines brought artists such as Astria Suparak\, Beth Coleman\, Morehshin Allahyari\, Paul Preciado\, and Molly Soda to the Ann Arbor campus for workshops\, performances\, and panel discussions.\n\nThe Search History zine mediates on the implications of an increasingly digital world and asks questions like: How does art help us redefine what technology is? What is your vision of the future and how can art and technology make it a reality? And how do interdisciplinary practices in technology expand traditional knowledge production and storytelling?\n\nSearch History Vol. 2 is titled and themed \"Into the Rabbit Hole.\"\n\nThe Search History Zine Launch will include conversation\, food\, and reading from zine contributors. Join us on Friday\, October 3rd\, 3PM-5PM ET in Weiser Hall 10th Floor or on Zoom to celebrate the launch of Search History Vol. 2!\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

The Coastal Ocean Environment Summer School In Nigeria and Ghana (COESSING\; https://coessing.org) has been held for one week every year since 2015. COESSING alternates between Ghana and Nigeria. We held our tenth anniversary COESSING in Ghana in August 2025. From 2025-2028\, the West African COESSING school will be embedded within the large Ocean Margins Initiative (OMI) research project (~9M USD)\, supported by Schmidt Sciences. OMI funding allows for \"big ocean science\" to be done on an unprecedented scale in the Gulf of Guinea. The connections developed within the COESSING summer school were essential in the genesis of the Schmidt-funded OMI project\, and COESSING will serve as a meeting and networking forum for that project. Plans to hold the 2026 COESSING in Nigeria are already underway. Over ten years\, we have had about 1000 in-person participants and about 250 in-person instructors at COESSING. Instruction has evolved towards hands-on research tracks in areas such as Marine Plastics\, Physical Oceanography\, Biogeochemistry\, Fisheries Management\, and the Ocean Margins Initiative. In September 2025\, we held the inaugural Coastal Ocean School in the Western Indian Ocean (COES-WIO)\, at Technical University of Mombasa\, again with a focus on research tracks. COES-WIO featured about 75 in-person participants from around the Western Indian Ocean region\, and about 20 in-person instructors from around the world. We have funding to run COES-WIO in 2026. Pending further funding\, we plan to rotate the school around different schools in the region. Our summer schools hosted in Ghana\, Nigeria and Kenya allow scientists from the US\, Europe\, and elsewhere to travel to African countries\, and see the challenges and opportunities in conducting ocean science in Africa for themselves. Countless collaborations\, small and large\, have been set up as a consequence of these schools. We are having ongoing discussions about creating more such schools in different parts of the world\, including Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands region.

By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm UID:139264-21885208@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139264 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Newman Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250813T140554 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251003T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251003T210000 SUMMARY:Performance:Nigamon/Tunai DESCRIPTION:In the heart of a forest of sound\, Canadian artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian artist Waira Nina deliver a poetic manifesto inspired by the bonds of friendship and solidarity.\n\nNigamon / Tunai (the words translate to “song” in the Anishinaabemowin and Inga languages) is an immersive performance ritual rooted in the presence of the natural world and co-exists with the audience\, who are in close proximity to the performers on the Power Center stage.\n\nAt the crossroads of friendship and resistance\, the two women invite us to listen deeply and to understand the knowledge and struggles that link their respective cultures: the depletion and plundering of natural resources that are core to their existence.\n\nInterweaving immersive performance and audio documentary with Indigenous knowledge and voices\, this mesmerizing new theatrical work invites audiences into ritualized listening\, and to feel the sound vibrations emitted by the surrounding water\, stones\, copper\, and tree trunks. Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets?

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879696@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250922T152041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251004T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251004T220000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Michigan Arts Festival DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Arts Festival will run from September 25 to October 26\, 2025\, across U-M’s Ann Arbor\, Dearborn Detroit\, and Flint campuses and at select community venues.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm UID:139265-21885209@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139265 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Newman Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250813T140554 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251004T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251004T160000 SUMMARY:Performance:Nigamon/Tunai DESCRIPTION:In the heart of a forest of sound\, Canadian artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian artist Waira Nina deliver a poetic manifesto inspired by the bonds of friendship and solidarity.\n\nNigamon / Tunai (the words translate to “song” in the Anishinaabemowin and Inga languages) is an immersive performance ritual rooted in the presence of the natural world and co-exists with the audience\, who are in close proximity to the performers on the Power Center stage.\n\nAt the crossroads of friendship and resistance\, the two women invite us to listen deeply and to understand the knowledge and struggles that link their respective cultures: the depletion and plundering of natural resources that are core to their existence.\n\nInterweaving immersive performance and audio documentary with Indigenous knowledge and voices\, this mesmerizing new theatrical work invites audiences into ritualized listening\, and to feel the sound vibrations emitted by the surrounding water\, stones\, copper\, and tree trunks. Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets?

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets?

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879697@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251006T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251006T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

This week will include presentations from Davis Elordi (History) and Yueling Li (History of Art). Lunch will be provided\, so please remember to register through Sessions if you are thinking of coming. The abstracts and titles for their talks are included below. \n\nDavis Elordi (History): Dual Converso Prophets and the Improvisation of Faith\n\nThis paper explores the cultural\, theological\, and class differences between the extant writings of colonial Latin America’s only two “crypto-Jews.” Crypto-Jew is a historiographical label applied to individuals\, baptized in the Catholic Church\, of clandestine Jewish heritage accused of practicing the “Law of Moses” and the faith of their ancestors. This paper seeks to disprove previous scholarly assertions of a collective identity and emphasize these crypto-Jews' differences. Questions of identity and class among this group remain largely unexplored outside Iberia\, in part because reading with the archival grain encourages the scholar to identify groups of mercantile \"Jews\" secretly colluding against the Spanish Empire.\n\nLuis de Carvajal\, el mozo\, and Francisco Maldonado de Silva’s writings provide a contrast to the typical documentation of Ibero-American crypto-Jews. Both freely professed their adherence to the Law of Moses\, and they left behind writings containing their religious beliefs and radical self-reinventions\, inspired by Roman Catholic texts. Carvajal left behind a memoir when he was executed in 1596\; Maldonado de Silva wrote hundreds of letters and journals\, of which we only possess three pieces of writing after his death in 1639. Carvajal\, posturing as a member of Spanish nobility\, and Maldonado de Silva\, an educated surgeon\, reflect the differences within their social standings. They reflect the limits and potentialities of biblical exegesis in the Spanish Empire\, as they both improvised forms of religiosity. \n\nYueling Li (Art History): Writing in Sino-Islamic Arts in Ming and Qing China\n\nMy project explores epigraphic traces of Islam in China from the 16th to 19th century\, paying particular attention to manuscripts\, ceramics\, and portable vessels. I argue that development in script\, format and decoration of Sino-Islamic manuscript played a role in consolidating the formation of a local identity and fostering a sense of belongingment for Muslims in Ming and Qing China\, when the intersection of ethnicity\, religion\, class and language struck a delicate balance. Available colophons also testify to active participation of women in the production and transmission of Islam in 17th century China\, supporting contemporary accounts and records in mosques. In parallel to the stylization of book arts\, Arabic and Persian inscriptions on Chinese porcelain\, embroidery\, bronze and jade transforms imperial and common objects to carry an extra layer of significance\, as vessels for ritual and everyday use\, sources of magic and protection\, markers of Muslim identity\, and expressions of individuals’ faith. In other words\, this project aims to push forward an understanding of the macroscopic transmission of religious and intellectual knowledge\, and the socio-political networks of Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) China through a microscopic and material lens.

Chris Fraley DESCRIPTION:R. Chris Fraley of the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign joins the RCGD Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships.\n\nThere are vast individual differences in the ways in which people relate to significant others in their lives. Some people\, for example\, are relatively secure in their relationships: They are comfortable opening up to others and having others depend on them. Other people\, in contrast\, are insecure: They are uncomfortable depending on others and worry that others will not be available when needed. Social and personality psychologists refer to these kinds of individual differences as \"attachment styles.\" In this talk R. Chris Fraley will review research on why some people are more secure than others. This talk convers five conclusions that have emerged from research over the past two decades-- with discussion of some of the challenges and opportunities involved in changing people's attachment styles.\n\nR. Chris Fraley is a Professor at the University of Illinois's Department of Psychology. He received his PhD from the University of California\, Davis in 1999 in Social-Personality Psychology. In 2007 he received the American Psychological Association's Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology in the area of Individual Differences. In 2025 he received the Carol and Ed Diener Mid-Career Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. He has served as an Associate Editor at the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.\n\nChris's research involves the study of attachment processes in close relationships\, personality dynamics and development\, and research methods (with an emphasis on open science and dynamic modeling). The majority of his research is focused on understanding why some people are more secure than others in their close relationships\, the implications of attachment (in)security for psychological well-being and relationship functioning\, and how attachment patterns change over time.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nHumans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have. \n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

I will review Elkies’ proof and explain how his strategy of intersecting with CM cycles can be adapted to our setting. I will also discuss some of the techniques in our proof to study the local properties of the CM cycles.

In 2022\, Casals et al. showed that the coordinate rings of these varieties carry a cluster structure by using weaves\, a diagrammatic calculus created in connection to symplectic knot theory. In 2025\, motivated by results in link homology\, Gorsky et al. constructed splicing maps identifying certain principal open subsets of a braid variety with a direct product of smaller braid varieties and conjectured these maps behave well with regards to the cluster structure. In this talk\, we explain these results and propose a weave construction that helps study the cluster structure behavior under the splicing map.

Theories of Human Emotion DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will trace the way scientific thinking about the relation between cognition and emotion has changed from Darwin to the present. Some questions that researchers have struggled with are 1) Are emotions adaptive or maladaptive? 2) How do thinking and feeling influence each other? 3) How many emotions are there? 4) Are human emotions universal or culturally variable?\n\nAbout the speaker: Phoebe C. Ellsworth is a professor of Psychology (emerita) at the University of Michigan. She is interested in how emotions are produced by people’s perceptions of their situation and its relevance to their well-being\, and in how individuals and cultures differ in their emotional experience. She received her PhD in Psychology from Stanford University. She is a member of the American Academy or Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Science.\n\nNote that this talk is free and open to the public and will take place at the Ann Arbor District Library's Downtown Branch.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879698@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251007T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251007T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.
