Wright will present a talk exploring the NERS Mural\, a collaborative\, multi-year artwork located in the tunnel connecting the Cooley Building and the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project. The mural stands as a visual reflection of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences\, highlighting its history\, values\, and forward-looking research through the lens of student creativity.\n\nThe NERS Mural is a living artwork composed of student-driven panels added annually through the NERS 250 Introduction to Nuclear Engineering course. Each panel is developed in close collaboration with sophomores\, who contribute their ideas through questionnaires\, group discussions\, and concept development workshops. Their perspectives shape the themes\, imagery\, and symbols that appear on the wall\, ensuring the mural is not only about the department\, but created by its community.\n\nWright will discuss the artistic process behind the mural\, including the decision for the panels to read from right to left in reference to Japanese narrative traditions. This design choice honors the department’s historical ties to Japan and underscores its global connections.\n\nThe talk will also highlight the origins of the project\, which was sparked by former department chair Todd Allen and realized through partnerships with NERS leadership and the University of Michigan Arts Initiative. Together\, the mural and its ongoing additions serve as a lasting expression of the intersection of art\, science\, and education within NERS.\n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

In an RCT of role play simulations\, those assigned to a Balancing Voices approach versus business-as-usual reported higher levels of key precursors of social capital — procedural fairness and legitimacy of authority figures. The estimated effects are especially positive for those who played roles other than administrator. Accordingly\, schools that more explicitly and formally balance the interests of different stakeholders in their decision making may be able to cultivate greater flows of social capital to improve instructional practices and student outcomes\, including equity.

Stoimenow strengthened Fox’s conjecture to log-concavity (without internal zeros) in 2005. Fox’s conjecture remains open in general with special cases settled by Hartley (1979) for two-bridge knots\, by Murasugi (1985) for a family of algebraic alternating links\, and Ozsvath and Szabo (2003) for genus 2 alternating knots\, among others. We will show how to prove Fox’s conjecture for special alternating links by lifting the Alexander polynomials of these links to\"nice” multivariate polynomials with 0\,1 coefficients. The terms of the lift correspond to integer points of a generalized permutahedron\, allowing for an application of the theory of Lorentzian polynomials developed by Branden and Huh (2019). This talk is based on joint works with Hafner and Vidinas.

Adverse Selection and Flexible Moral Hazard (by Henrique Castro-Pires\, Deniz Kattwinkel\, and Jan Knoepfle) DESCRIPTION:We characterize incentive compatible mechanisms in environments with hidden types and flexible hidden actions. Our approach introduces extended recommendation schedules that specify prescribed actions also off-path\, after misreports. This approach yields a tractable and complete characterization of incentive compatibility\, which includes a generalized integral monotonicity condition capturing the interaction between adverse selection and moral hazard. We demonstrate the usefulness of the characterization across a range of contracting problems.

Land surface hazards like landslides and earthquake surface rupture occur in particulate systems of sands and rocks. Coastal scour and erosion occur one grain of sand at a time. Even wildfire spread into communities at the wildland urban interface occurs through the wind-driven flow of millions of discrete firebrand particles. This presentation will showcase how our research group represents various hazards as fundamentally discontinuous particulate systems using the discrete element method (DEM). DEM uses relatively simple contact physics to model how discrete particles interact and the motions of these particles resulting from their interactions. With the aid of modern high-performance computing systems\, we model discontinuous systems composed of millions of discrete particles\, including particles of irregular shape and size to elucidate how these factors affect the macroscopic properties traditionally used to characterize material behaviors in constitutive models. Our simulations show how with simple boundary conditions\, we can replicate complex mechanics of landslide runout\, shear rupture propagation through soil\, and firebrand accumulation in simulations validated not only on laboratory experiments but also on observed case histories. Our virtual experiments advance the understanding of natural hazards in a broad range of fields including civil engineering\, mechanics\, geology\, and seismology. \n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:141901-21889616@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141901 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260306T133125 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260320T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260320T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

The aim of the bigger project is to present a big picture account that brings together the metaphysical\, moral/rational\, and political aspects of free agency in relation to each other. The first part is about the metaphysics of the free will problem. The middle\, the topic of this talk\, is about rational or intentional agency. And the third part is about political freedom. The aim of the talk is to present an account of practical rational capacities that shows how the idea of acting under rational constraints gets us (part of) an account of free will\, as well as to say a little about how I see this as relating to the metaphysics\, especially the intuitive idea that\, when the agent acts\, the future is (at least in some ways) open. \n\n\n\nLucy Allais is a philosopher who holds academic positions at both the University of the Witwatersrand and Johns Hopkins University. Her research interests include the philosophy of Immanuel Kant as well as forgiveness\, punishment\, and bioethics.

Through this lack of compartmentalization\, the bacterial DNA or nucleoid\, is free to act as a platform for both organization and coordination of complex bacterial structures and processes. A lack of a membrane boundary also increases the influence that the metabolic state of the cell can have on the DNA. The ParA family of ATPases is a well characterized family of positioning systems that is known to use the nucleoid as a matrix to organize chromosomes\, plasmids\, chemotaxis arrays\, and bacterial microcompartments (BMCs). One of the best characterized BMCs is the carboxysome. Carboxysomes are proteinaceous structures that encapsulate the enzyme ribulose-1\,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). Cyanobacteria and some chemoautotrophs use carboxysomes to enhance carbon fixation\, maximizing the amount of carbon that can later be turned into biomass. Our group has worked to characterize the ParA-like positioning system\, the maintenance of carboxysome distribution (Mcd) system\, that organizes carboxysomes along the length of the cell. This is a two-component system\, with the ParA-like ATPase\, McdA\, and its partner protein McdB\, that interacts with carboxysomes. When McdA binds the nucleoid non-specifically in its ATP-bound state\, McdB-coated carboxysomes stimulate the hydrolysis of ATP\, causing McdA to dissociate from the nucleoid. This creates dynamic gradients of McdA\, with McdB bound carboxysomes constantly chasing higher concentrations of McdA\, thereby distributing carboxysomes along the nucleoid. \nWe have worked to characterize both McdA and McdB and their role in carboxysome positioning\, however\, until my thesis work\, we did not consider the contribution of the nucleoid in the organization of carboxysomes. As a result\, current models treat the nucleoid as a benign matrix for positioning by the McdAB system. Also\, the McdAB system has been primarily studied in exponential cells grown under continuous light conditions. However\, the natural environment of cyanobacteria fluctuates\, with changing amounts of nutrient availability. Cells often change the compaction state of their DNA in response to environmental changes\, so we used several environmental conditions\, to induce changes in nucleoid architecture\, to assess effects on the McdAB system and carboxysome organization. We found that the nucleoid is not a passive matrix and can contribute to carboxysome positioning during times of reduced McdAB localization. These findings likely apply to other cargoes that use the nucleoid as a positioning scaffold\, and it is necessary to reassess how we understand subcellular organization in bacteria under this new paradigm. \nWhile we have investigated carboxysome organization and its McdAB positioning system\, we have largely not considered other subcellular structures that could influence carboxysome distribution. Polyphosphate granules are a storage form of phosphate that is conserved across all domains of life and have been implicated in diverse cellular processes\, including the regulation of bacterial chromatin. Through electron microscopy studies\, carboxysomes and polyphosphate (polyP) granules have been shown to physically interact. The exact mechanism of this relationship and the significance of this association have not been investigated. We find that polyP influences both nucleoid compaction state and carboxysome positioning in the model cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942. Together\, this work highlights the broader roles of both the nucleoid and other subcellular structures in the organization of the model BMC\, the carboxysome.

The transport of water from the subsurface to roots\, stems\, and leaves out through stomata\, and into the atmosphere links the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum while coupling Earth’s water and carbon cycles. This biological process is regulated dynamically and often varies substantially between species in the same ecosystem in response to multiple and often combined internal and external stressors. We will analyze vignettes from two distinct ecosystems and their responses to different sets of combined stressors to gain new insight into plant function. First\, we will visit mangrove ecosystems exposed to both atmospheric dryness and salinity extremes to explore how water transport regulation strategies shift from leaves to roots to maximize productivity while maintaining hydraulic function. Then we will visit semi-arid woody savanna to detangle to combined influence of soil water limitation and atmospheric aridity on wood-water storage in drought tolerant trees. Understanding the storage and transport of water through soil\, woody biomass\, and leaves in this and many other ecosystems is critical for predicting forest resilience\, carbon sequestration\, and wildfire susceptibility. Finally\, we will assess the implications of both studies for the ways we simulate the dynamic regulation of water acquisition\, storage\, and use by trees and how these findings can directly improve predictions of forest water\, carbon\, and energy cycles from coastlines to the continental interior.

Regarded as one of the most significant talents to emerge in the world of Irish music\, Hayes has drawn inspiration from many musical genres but remains grounded in the music he grew up with in East County Clare.\n\nHis soulful interpretations of traditional Irish music are recognized the world over for their exquisite musicality and irresistible rhythm. He has a unique ability to place the tradition within a wider contemporary context\, creating a unique and insightful interpretation of Irish music. “This music is\, at its essence\, a direct and simple expression of feeling. The melodies are sometimes deceptively simple but almost always beautiful\, and the rhythm is both understated and entrancing\,” Hayes says. This concert features his new ensemble\, Common Ground\, comprising musicians from different backgrounds whose connections to Irish music are complemented by improvisation\, jazz\, avant-garde\, and contemporary classical music.

Drawing on Hong Kong cultural icon Leslie Cheung’s concerts\, films\, and public persona\, the performance traces a journey from glamour to intimacy through Cheung’s legacy. It examines pressure\, visibility\, and the search for care. At its core\, *This Dance Is About Leslie Cheung* is not only about legacy\, but about how legacy\, identity\, and inspiration is carried forward. \n\nRather than offering a biography of Leslie Cheung\, the concert stages an encounter with his legacy. Cheung appears as an influence\, a fantasy\, and a point of departure – someone whose artistry opened doors while also revealing the emotional cost of visibility. The performance traces how admiration can slip into imitation\, how confidence can fracture under pressure\, and how failure might become a pathway toward care.\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\n\nCreated by choreographer and Dance MFA candidate Timothy Tsang\, *This Dance Is About Leslie Cheung* reflects Tsang’s ongoing inquiry into how performance carries memory\, pressure\, and care. Tsang is a queer Chinese American dance artist whose work bridges movement\, cultural memory\, and embodied research. Shaped by a transnational upbringing between Shanghai and Chicago\, his choreography often moves between different cultural contexts – asking how bodies navigate identity\, visibility\, and belonging.

He’s collaborated with artists as diverse as Trombone Shorty\, Galactic\, Steel Pulse\, Tall Heights\, Martin Sexton\, Anders Osborne\, and George Porter\, Jr\; shared bills with the likes of Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Ani DiFranco\, Todd Snider\, The Wood Brothers\, Rodrigo y Gabriela\, and Mavis Staples\; and racked up more than 150 million streams on Spotify alone. NPR’s Mountain Stage compared his “eloquent\, soulful songwriting” to Bill Withers and James Taylor\, while Relix celebrated his “poetic Americana\,” and The Boston Herald raved that “he’s made a career of confident\, danceable positivity.”\n\nMontbleau’s freewheeling new album finds him exploring the full spectrum of his influences like never before\, touching on folk\, rock\, funk\, soul\, hip-hop\, and reggae\, all with a preternatural ease that belies the intensely focused craftsmanship behind it. The songs are sprawling and unpredictable\, grappling with a modern world perpetually teetering on the edge of chaos\, but the performances are relentlessly optimistic\, insisting on hope and joy in the face of it all. The result is Montbleau’s most vulnerable and cathartic work yet\, an album that acknowledges the inevitability of doubt and pain while at the same time celebrating our limitless capacity for growth and love.

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900143@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260320T120134 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260321T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260321T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist) DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n \n Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities UID:143403-21893086@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260321T060141 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260321T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260321T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:MIVA League Championships DESCRIPTION:A and B final tournament before Nationals.

Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

The exhibition presents seven artists whose practices unfold through care—care for land\, for bodies\, for memory\, and for one another. Working across ritual\, non-linear time\, and intersectional inquiries into labor and domestic life\, these artists treat familial\, site-specific\, and sociopolitical histories as living structures rather than sealed archives. What We Tend features the work of MFA students River Forest Berry\, Michelle Cieloszczyk\, Zoë Dong\, Fiona Hoffer\, Michael ​“Modius Modi” King Jr.\, Michaela Nichelle\, and Sujay Saple.\n\nJoin us to celebrate the work of MFA graduate students at the Opening Reception on March 20 from 6 — 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and artists will be present.\n\nPlease note: \n\nThroughout the exhibition\, visitors are encouraged to bring clean and empty aluminum cans to participate in Michaela Nichelle’s installation. \nThe exhibition will be closed to the public on Friday\, April 10.

In response\, this workshop considers printmaking as a parallel site of inheritance and innovation. Participants will work with risograph printing\, exploring its layered color process\, tactile textures\, and capacity for repetition as tools for storytelling and collective image-making.\n\nParticipants are encouraged to reflect on personal\, diasporic\, and ancestral histories while examining how symbols\, gestures\, and material processes carry memory. Attendees are invited to bring photographs\, family documents\, and meaningful images to incorporate into their prints\, collectively building visual archives that honor family legacies and lived histories. What marks do we inherit? What forms do we reimagine? Together\, we will explore printmaking as a method of recovery and regeneration\, translating embodied knowledge into contemporary visual language.\n\nOpen to artists of all levels\, Reflections on Legacy centers collective making as an act of world-building that bridges past and present while imagining future lineages through print.\n\nThis workshop is organized by BULK in collaboration with Stamps Gallery.

On February 21st\, 1978\, only a few weeks after Carpenter’s untimely passing\, the BLSA membership voted unanimously to honor his memory by establishing the Alden J. “Butch” Carpenter Memorial Scholarship Fund. Paying homage to Carpenter’s lifework\, each year the fund awards scholarships to outstanding first-year BLSA members who are interested in business law and have demonstrated a commitment to community development.

Then\, Nadia Boulanger’s striking miniatures demonstrate the full range of the cello’s capabilities\, as do Robert Schumann’s folk-inspired short compositions. The program concludes with the trailblazing composer Rebecca Clarke\, whose rich\, expressive Viola Sonata is presented here in its cello arrangement. Written in 1919 for a competition\, the work tied for first place with a sonata by Ernest Bloch and is admired for its sweeping lyricism\, harmonic richness\, technical brilliance\, and sheer expressive power.

Profoundly inspired by fellow midwesterner John Prine\, he’s a working-class folk musician to his core. His small town roots\, tilled with city streets mentality\, are turning heads North and South of I-80.\n“I love the energy\, music\, and creativity of Chicago\, but at the same time\, the roots and hard work of my small town\,” he shares. Growing up in Delavan\, Illinois\, with a population less than 2\,000\, Diekhoff’s grandparents were farmers\, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs. \n\nHe writes music for “the kind of people that come to my shows. Whether in Chicago or Delavan\, everyone has a story\, and everyone puts in a long day and works hard the same way\,” he says. “My generation may have been labeled as slackers\, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t work hard - many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12 hour days. That’s what keeps me playing. I don’t like anyone to be left out\; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.”\n\nHe listened to punk rock and grunge as a kid before discovering a friend’s dad playing Hank Williams\, and it was a revelation. Prine and Guthrie quickly followed. The name Chicago Farmer was originally for a band\, but the utilitarian life of driving alone from bar to bar\, city to city - to make a direct connection to his audience and listener\, took a deeper hold.

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900144@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260320T120134 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260322T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260322T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities UID:143403-21893087@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260322T060047 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260322T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260322T150000 SUMMARY:Other:MSU Play Day DESCRIPTION:MSU Play Day - 3/22 UID:143523-21893339@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143523 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Michigan State University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260317T171335 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260322T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260322T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

The showcase begins with a cultural presentation exploring the environments\, values\, and experiences that shape Vietnamese childhood. This is followed by an original dance performance set to traditional music\, choreographed and performed by student members to preserve authenticity and community voice. Attendees will be invited to join a traditional Vietnamese bamboo dance\, a lively folk activity many Vietnamese children grow up watching or trying at festivals\, school events\, and community gatherings. The final segment features an interactive workshop highlighting classic Vietnamese childhood games\, creating space for laughter\, learning\, and shared experience.

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900145@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260320T120134 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260323T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260323T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities UID:143403-21893088@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260223T141911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260323T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260323T164500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:America at 250: Reflections on the Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:The Gerald R.
