Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n \nan operetta by Johann Strauss II\nDirected by Grant Preisser\, University Opera Theatre\nConducted by Kirk Severtson\, University Philharmonia Orchestra\n\nScheming and devious plans run amuck to culminate in a hilarious comeuppance in this re-imagined\, gender-bent take on Strauss's light-hearted comedy filled with lush Viennese waltzes. Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207424@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Can We Keep It Up? DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, and due to unforeseen circumstances\, this event has been cancelled.\n\nCurbing corruption in Armenia was one of the main goals of the new Armenian government before the velvet revolution in 2018.

His main research focuses on anti-corruption strategies in European countries from a socio-economic perspective. Advanced in eight languages\, he held visiting positions at multiple European universities and is now at work pursuing a second PhD in Sociology at the University of Kiel. Dr. Simonyan was a Weiser Professional Fellow at the U-M Gerald Ford School of Public Policy in 2018\, and is 2019-20 visiting Fulbright Scholar at the U-M Ross School of Business.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel\, MAP\, or other another class)\, the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session. \n\nThe cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595\, however\, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:\n\nSunday\, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\nSunday\, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\nSunday\, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\n\nThe certification exam\, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26\, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business\, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate). \n\nOver the last two years\, all students who have taken the exam have passed!\n\nProject Management is a powerful skillset to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!\n\nREGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:\nhttp://myumi.ch/dO5Nl\n\nNOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.\n\nHOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event\, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.\n\nWhat is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation\, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management\, is similar to the exam-oriented\, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many\, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C\, B\, and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.\n\nFor more information\,\nVisit tauber.umich.edu or call 734-647-1333\nConnect via email to Diana Crossley dianak@umich.edu UID:73563-18261072@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73563 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Business,Chemistry,Economics,Education,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Entrepreneurship,Environment,Film,Graduate,Graduate School,immigration,Industrial and Operations Engineering,Information and Technology,Integrative Systems,Interdisciplinary,International,Japanese Studies,Materials Science,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Multidisciplinary Design,Natural Sciences,Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Pre-Law,Psychology,Public Health,Public Policy,Study Abroad LOCATION:Ross School of Business CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191216T121633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200329T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200329T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reflections: An Ordinary Day DESCRIPTION:UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n \nan operetta by Johann Strauss II\nDirected by Grant Preisser\, University Opera Theatre\nConducted by Kirk Severtson\, University Philharmonia Orchestra\n\nScheming and devious plans run amuck to culminate in a hilarious comeuppance in this re-imagined\, gender-bent take on Strauss's light-hearted comedy filled with lush Viennese waltzes. Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.

Public health doctor and activist Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is returning to his alma mater for a special event with the LSA Honors Program\, where Dr. El-Sayed will serve as the Fall 2020 DeRoy Professor. El-Sayed who began his undergraduate career with the LSA Honors Program\, was the 2008 U-M Commencement student speaker and a 2009 Rhodes Scholar\, among other notable achievements.\n\nHis forthcoming book\, \"Healing Politics: A Doctor’s Journey into Heart of our Political Epidemic\,\" diagnoses our country’s “epidemic of insecurity” and the empathy policy we’ll need to treat it. \n\n“Healing Politics is a token of appreciation for this state and its people\, who taught me so much over the past several years. I hope it captures the challenges we face—and the hope I’ve seen in the least likely places\,” said El-Sayed. “These are the insights I hope to bring to the classroom as the DeRoy Professor at the LSA Honors Program next fall. I’m excited to be back on campus\, where\, in many ways\, the intellectual roots of this book took shape when I was a student.”\n\nThe LSA Honors DeRoy Visiting Professorship was endowed by the Helen L. DeRoy Foundation in 1981 to make it possible for students to study with distinguished persons in business\, government\, labor\, law\, and various scholarly disciplines. Former DeRoy Professors include poet and critic Carmen Bugan and French economist Jacques Mistral. \n\nThis event is hosted in partnership with U-M LSA Honors Program\; Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships\; The Phi Beta Kappa Society\, Alpha of Michigan Chapter\; School for Environment and Sustainability\; Ford School of Public Policy\; School of Public Health\; School of Social Work.

Creative director Gillian Eaton and actor Malcolm Tulip\, faculty of the U-M School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance\, engage several of their students in this production at the Residential College’s Keene Theater (dates TBA).\n\nBased on collaboration with the staff at the U-M Heinz C.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

These tools are also used to program more “serious” applications that require interactive 3D graphics\, from mobile apps\, virtual and augmented reality\, computer vision and artificial intelligence\, and real-time CGI film production. \n\nUnity3D is a powerful and popular game engine for both hobbyist and professional projects\, able to compile a ‘game’ to almost any computer platform\, and free to download for non-commercial use. This workshop will show how you can use it to render data from research projects in a 3D interactive representation for user analysis and demonstration.\n\nIn this workshop\, we introduce the Unity3D workspace\, and prepare a demo that allows the user to load an example dataset and view it as a simple set of 3D representations. A basic familiarity with any computer programming language (C# will be used during the session) is recommended to get the most out of the workshop. To take part\, users will be responsible to bring their own laptop with Unity3D (available for Windows\, Macintosh and Linux) pre-installed. Additional project files will be provided to registered users ahead of the workshop date.

STS Speaker. All in the Family: U.S. Demography and the Origins of Neoliberalism DESCRIPTION:Neoliberalism is generally understood as an intellectual and political project to retool regulation to protect capital. Consequently\, scholars of neoliberalism have traced its progenitors and principles to the disciplines of economics and law. But new scholarship suggests compellingly that neoliberalism is not only a philosophy of government and markets but also a philosophy of care—one that upholds the private family (in lieu of the state) as the ultimate provider and underwriter of that care. Seen in this light\, an alternative history of proto-neoliberal ideas reveals itself among a corpus of social scientists whose work has gone unremarked in the historiography of those ideas: demographers. \n\nThis talk reframes postwar U.S. demography as a crucible in which the ideal of “family responsibility” for the costs of human welfare was first forged\, and global “family planning” as the technoscientific project through which that principle was eventually—and powerfully—instantiated. \n\nBio: Savina Balasubramanian is assistant professor of Sociology and Affiliate Faculty in Women’s Studies and Gender Studies at Loyola University Chicago. She is a historical sociologist of gender and science in transnational perspective. Her current book manuscript\, Intimate Investments: The Science and Politics of Family Planning in Cold War India\, tells the story of how American demographers pursued family planning in non-aligned India as an effort to serve U.S. goals to stifle the formation of a robust welfare state in the country—and how the Indian state implemented family planning in ways that conformed to and departed from demographers’ visions.

Advances in non-linear optics over the past decade allow single-investigator\, table top lasers to access radiation from 550 cm-1 in the infrared to the vacuum ultraviolet. When spectra are acquired using predissociation of weakly bound rare gas “tags\,” the resulting patterns are directly equivalent to absorption spectra of target ions at temperatures below 10 K\, and quenched close to their global minimum energy geometries. Taken together\, what emerges is a new and powerful structural capability that augments the traditional tools available in high resolution mass spectrometry. Currently\, these methods are being exploited to monitor chemical and physical processes in assemblies with well-defined temperatures and compositions. Recent applications\, ranging from the mechanisms of small molecule activation by homogeneous catalysts to the microscopic mechanics underlying the ultrafast spectral diffusion in water\, emphasize the generality and utility of the methods in contemporary chemistry. \n \n \n \n \n \nMark Johnson (Yale University) UID:72155-17948627@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72155 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191217T141400 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200330T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200330T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Get real time\, personalized support by with the Resume Lab.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

What’s different about recent evocations of knightly signage is their visibility on the Internet where they have become weaponized to attract members and demean enemies. \n\nThe goal of the lecture is first to discuss symbols in the medieval period. The professor will then discuss how such symbols have resurfaced in the Nazi era and in the contemporary environment to serve the political and propaganda goals of various movements.\n\nDr. Martin B. Shichtman is Director of the Center for Jewish Studies and Professor of English Language and Literature at Eastern Michigan University. He has been a fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and at Brandeis University’s Schusterman Institute for Israel Studies. Dr. Shichtman has co-authored two books\, co-edited two collections\, and published more than forty scholarly articles. He has presented more than 100 papers at international\, national\, and regional conferences. He is the recipient of EMU’s Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching and the Eastern Michigan University Alumni Association Award for Teaching Excellence.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207425@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

At the center of this trend lies a claim that China’s future ought to be rooted in China’s own cumulative civilization\, especially in the Confucian learning traditions. This exceptionalist turn in intellectual culture has provided a new legitimizing ideology that the Chinese Communist Party has quickly adopted to reinvent itself as the inheritor of China’s cultural traditions. Making sense of this contemporary turn requires us to understand the deeper roots of modern Chinese national thought. Different from the dominant view that modern Chinese nationalism is a product of Western-style modernization\, this talk explores how the search for a Chinese cultural identity became central to the debates over political system and moral values in China in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. If “cultural identity” was an answer\, what was the question? Were there alternatives?\n \n Wen Yu is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in History from Harvard University in 2018. Her research focuses on China’s social and political thought\, ideological movements\, and intellectual culture from the seventeenth century to the present. Her dissertation\, \"The Search for a Chinese Way in the Modern World: From the Rise of Evidential Learning to the Birth of Chinese Cultural Identity\,” explores the roots and development of modern Chinese exceptionalism by tracing how the search for a Chinese cultural identity has become central to the intellectual debates over shared values in modern China. Her dissertation was awarded the 2017 Harold K. Gross Dissertation Prize.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Recent studies\, however\, have been plagued by the frequent rediscovery of old molecules. The underlying reason is that the vast majority of natural product biosynthetic genes in a given bacterium are not significantly expressed\, when cultured under standard laboratory conditions. These so-called ‘silent’ or ‘cryptic’ gene clusters represent a large reservoir of bioactive molecules and methods that access them would have a profound impact on natural products research and thereby on drug discovery. In this talk\, I will present new strategies that my group has developed for activating silent biosynthetic gene clusters. Application of these approaches to diverse bacteria has unveiled not only the products of silent gene clusters\, but also small molecule elicitors\, which in most cases are growth-inhibitory or antibiotic in nature. These insights have led to the idea that old antibiotics may be used to find new ones. In addition\, my group has been engaged in elucidating new transformations carried out by metalloenzymes during natural product biosynthesis. Recent reactions that we have discovered\, along with proposed mechanisms\, will be presented as well. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMohammad Seyedsayamdost (Princeton University) UID:67853-16960494@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67853 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200415T123020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200331T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200331T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab: Internship searching among COVID19 Uncertainty DESCRIPTION:*RSVP for this program.

Historically\, the primary metric of success within this system was the number of pounds of food distributed\, with limited attention to nutritional quality. However\, in recognition of the high rates of diet-related illnesses among the people receiving this food\, there is a growing movement to measure nutritional quality and promote healthier options. This presentation will describe efforts at the national\, state\, local\, and community levels to measure and encourage the distribution of healthier foods\, as well as research strategies to evaluate the impact of these changes. Finally\, lessons learned and friendly advice for new researchers interested in this topic will be shared.\n\n--\n\nFood Literacy for All is a community-academic partnership course started in 2017.

In this frank and necessarily lucid talk\, Zuboff defines the terms of surveillance capitalism as a new economic system\, pioneered at Google and later Facebook\, in much the same way that mass-production and managerial capitalism were pioneered at Ford and General Motors a century before. Zuboff speaks urgently to our need to protect ourselves in this unprecedented age\, and not try to resist or strike in the ways we did a century ago. Google\, Amazon and now fallen behemoths like Cambridge-Analytica aren’t going anywhere\, but as Zuboff expansively demonstrates\, we can create countermeasures to stave off the monopolistic workings of these companies. We have the power to demand more from these seemingly all-powerful corporations. If they want what we provide (data)\, they in turn will have to change their usage tactics. The citizen desire and the leverage is here\, Zuboff argues—and it’s in the companies’ best interests to change. Rather than facing the subject with worry or paranoia\, Zuboff argues for us to pay attention\, resist habituation\, and come up with novel\, innovative responses to the issue of surveillance capitalism\, as novel a system as we are likely to know.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Brodsky on the Horizon DESCRIPTION:This exhibit has been postponed due to COVID-19. We are working to reschedule Gluklya's campus visit\, but in the meantime\, enjoy this interview which was recently conducted by our alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79)\, curator and art advisor of Galerie Blue Square: https://youtu.be/QHO-gCuWQjY. \n\nIn \"Brodsky on the Horizon\" Gluklya will show the video from her latest project\, \"Carnival of Oppressed Feelings\,\" which was last exhibited in 2019 at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven\, the Netherlands. Several examples of her \"Utopian Clothes\,\" previously used in performances and workshops\, works on paper and other selected videos will be displayed as well. These works will visualize the artist's personal connection to Joseph Brodsky’s poems and writings. The exhibit will also depict Joseph Brodsky's time at the University of Michigan\, through reproduced photographs from the Ardis Records in Special Collections of the Hatcher Library.\n \nGluklya (Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya) is a visual and performance artist. Her manifesto states: “The place of the artist is on the side of the weak.” She uses clothing\, installations\, video\, participatory projects\, text\, and research to develop a concept of fragility. For Gluklya\, fragility is interpreted not as “delicate beauty” but as “invisible strength.” Her work explores topics of social exclusion\, untapped intuitive knowledge\, mind-body connections\, violation of human rights\, and stereotypes. Considered a pioneer of Russian performance art\, Gluklya is a co-founder of the Factory of Found Clothes (FFC) and the group Chto Delat (What is to be done?). In 2012\, FFC became the Utopian Unemployment Union\, a project that unites art\, social science\, and progressive pedagogy to give people from all social backgrounds an opportunity to make art together. Today\, the artist participates in many international shows including the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale (2015) and Positions #4 at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands (2018-19). She has been awarded numerous art prizes and grants\, including a fellowship from the Joseph Brodsky Fellowship Memorial Fund in 2014 and support from the Mondriaan Fund for recent projects.\n \nPresented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.
