Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240829T144050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T190000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:International Studies Horror Filmfest DESCRIPTION:It’s our annual Halloween spectacular\, where we screen frightening foreign-language movies from around the world!

At the core of unstructured environments is uncertainty. Failing to consider uncertainty can lead to downstream task failures with costly and even dangerous consequences.\n\nThere are many types of uncertainty that need to be considered for real-world systems in unstructured environments. In this dissertation\, I focus on uncertainty of in-hand object pose for objects grasped by a robotic system. If not addressed\, this type of uncertainty can lead to potential failures including grasp instability and unexpected or unreliable contacts made with the environment (including other robots\, objects\, or humans). These types of failures significantly impact task performance for applications including robotic tool use\, assembly\, object hand-over\, and human-robot interaction.\n\nThis dissertation makes several contributions to in-hand object pose estimation using proprioceptive and tactile feedback. Firstly\, I provide a proprioceptive method to estimate contact locations and in-hand object poses simultaneously in a bimanual system from single contact-rich interactions. Then\, I build upon this approach to connect several sequential actions in order to more precisely estimate in-hand object poses. Next\, I incorporate robot proprioception uncertainty with this proprioceptive in-hand object pose estimation framework to adapt to real-world challenges with configuration-dependent robot proprioception uncertainty. Finally\, I introduce the GelSlim 4.0 sensor\, a powerful visuotactile sensor that enables key tactile sensing capabilities like depth estimation and shear field estimation. With accessibility as an explicit design goal\, this sensor is accompanied by open-source manufacturing documentation that we user-tested with 17 novice users. In summary\, this dissertation contributes algorithms and hardware for robotic manipulation that leverage proprioceptive and tactile feedback to address uncertainty in in-hand object poses.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

To distinguish preferences over demographic composition from preferences over other venue characteristics\, we study venue choices within business chains. We find two notable regularities: racial homophily does not vary by income\, and preferences for high-income co-patrons are similar across racial groups. These demographic preferences are economically large\, explain much of the cross-group variation in exposure to high-income co-patrons\, and correlate with movers’ neighborhood choices.

Through his social and political works\, 2Fik creates lives for characters who almost seem real\, whose stories\, personalities\, and interests are rooted in our world. Each of his creations are conceived in a voyeuristic way that pushes the spectator to wonder what exists beyond the scope of the work. Each character in this humorous and interpretative world becomes a reflection of our society.\n\n\"Identity Potpourri\" by 2Fik is a mixture of different artworks from various series by the artist between 2006 and 2016. The exhibition will open at 6 PM on October 30 and be on display until November 8.

To achieve this\, wearable devices must integrate a multimodal array of sensors that enable non-invasive\, continuous\, real-time monitoring\, have a long operational lifetime to gather meaningful long-term data\, and remain comfortable and flexible to ensure user adoption. The National Science Foundation-funded Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) is developing precisely such devices\, capable of continuous monitoring of personal environments and health. These capabilities are made possible by breakthroughs in power management\, low-power electronics\, and innovative health and environmental sensors\, all seamlessly integrated into wearable\, comfortable form factors. In this talk\, I will specifically focus on how advances in energy harvesting and sensor systems are making continuous monitoring a reality. Innovations in thermoelectric and piezoelectric harvesters\, catalyzed by optimized system design and flexible materials\, have enabled long-term operation of sensors for vigilant monitoring. Sensor advances in electronic-nose\, optical imaging and human health are providing a complete multi-modal picture into human health and its relationship environment. I will also present the applications that these sensor systems are enabling such as long-term sensing and effective management of chronic conditions\, sensing of personal exposure to air pollutants and toxins and longitudinal studies that provide new insight into correlation of various health and environmental parameters. I will also provide examples of translation of sensor systems and innovative education of the engineering pipeline enabled by the ecosystem associated with an NSF engineering research center.\n\nBio\n\nVeena Misra is the Department Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the M.C.

His research and teaching interests are at the interface of engineering\nmodeling\, statistical analysis\, and predictive analytics\, with particular emphasis on improving\noperations of complex manufacturing and other enterprise systems. He received the NSF\nCAREER award\, the IIE Transactions Best Paper Award\, the Technometrics Wilcoxon Prize\,\nand the Journal of Quality Technology Lloyd S. Nelson award. He has served as Editor-in-Chief\nof Technometrics and of the Journal of Quality Technology. He is a Fellow of the American\nStatistical Association and served as Chair of the Quality\, Statistics &\; Reliability Section of\nINFORMS and Director of the Manufacturing and Design Engineering Program at Northwestern.\n\n\nAbstract: For many supervised learning applications\, understanding and visualizing the effects\nof the predictor variables on the predicted response is of paramount importance. A shortcoming\nof black-box supervised learning models (e.g.\, complex trees\, neural networks\, boosted trees\,\nrandom forests\, nearest neighbors\, local kernel-weighted methods\, support vector regression\,\netc.) in this regard is their lack of interpretability or transparency. Partial dependence (PD) plots\,\nwhich are the most popular general approach for visualizing the effects of the predictors with\nblack box supervised learning models\, can produce erroneous results if the predictors are\nstrongly correlated\, because they require extrapolation of the response at predictor values that are\nfar outside the multivariate envelope of the training data. Functional ANOVA for correlated\ninputs can avoid this extrapolation but involves prohibitive computational expense and\nsubjective choice of additive surrogate model to fit to the supervised learning model. We present\na new visualization approach that we term accumulated local effects (ALE) plots\, which have a\nnumber of advantages over existing methods. First\, ALE plots do not require unreliable\nextrapolation with correlated predictors. Second\, they are orders of magnitude less\ncomputationally expensive than PD plots\, and many orders of magnitude less expensive than\nfunctional ANOVA. Third\, they yield convenient variable importance/sensitivity measures that\npossess a number of desirable properties for quantifying the impact of each predictor.

We propose Beat Pilot Tone (BPT)\, a simple serendipitous system exploitation that turns any MRI receiver chain into a radio frequency (RF) motion sensing system that can operate at arbitrary frequencies (up to several GHz). Our contact-free system can be implemented on any MRI scanner regardless of field strength. Through electromagnetic field simulations and experiments\, we explain BPT’s novel mechanism: two or more transmitted RF tones form motion-modulated standing wave patterns that are sensed by the same receiver coil arrays used for MR imaging. These waves are incidentally mixed by intermodulation and digitized simultaneously to the MRI data. BPT achieves an order of magnitude greater sensitivity to motion than other methods in detecting and separating common motion types (respiratory\, bulk\, cardiac\, and head motion) in volunteers. Moreover\, BPT offers tunable sensitivity to motion based on the transmit frequencies\; at microwave frequencies\, BPT can detect millimeter-scale vibrations (ballistocardiograms). With multiple antennas and frequency-multiplexing\, BPT can operate as a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. BPT significantly expands the capability of any MRI system\, paving the way toward multi-modality\, motion-robust\, and simultaneous RF and MR imaging.\n\nBio:\nMichael (Miki) Lustig is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley.

One possible mechanism for this process is a quasar’s outflow\, which can be observed as blueshifted absorption troughs in the quasar’s spectrum. With enough kinetic power\, an outflow can contribute to AGN feedback\, regulating star formation and host galaxy evolution. Analyzing the troughs of outflows found in ultraviolet spectra of quasars\, observed both from the ground and in space\, can reveal their physical characteristics\, as well as their potential ability to contribute to feedback effects.\n\nDavid’s Title: Exploring Ultra-Compact X-Ray Binaries with Reflection Modeling\n\nLow mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are X-ray sources which contain a compact object such as a black hole (BH) or neutron star (NS) accreting material from a stellar companion. A subclass of LMXB called ultra compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) contain a degenerate stellar companion such as a white dwarf (WD)\, resulting in a much shorter orbital period. We study one UCXB candidate and one verified UCXB using a process called reflection modeling\, wherein the X-ray spectrum is modeled with components representing both direct emission and emission that is reprocessed by the accretion disk. This process can allow us to better understand the geometry and behavior of accreting systems\, with UCXBs probing high energy accretion on some of the smallest size scales.

Prof. Schmitt uses behavioral ecology\, morphometric\, and multiple -omics methods to study mechanistic and adaptive aspects of these questions in two non-human primate models: savanna monkeys (Chlorocebus spp.)\, and woolly monkeys (Lagothrix spp.). His work with Chlorocebus demonstrates that there are both heritable and epigenetic components to developmental patterns that help us to better understand the interplay between extremes in resource quality and energetics\, life history\, and metabolic disease. His developing work on Lagothrix expands the use of portable genomics technologies to delve into how diet\, sociality\, and genetic variation interact to enable the energetics of high-elevation living while also potentially constraining climatic adaptability.

This whole tale of the tail started in Ann Arbor\, many many years ago. Explaining the embarrassment of our failure to find such estimates for so many years is the main reason for our talk. As we had to learn for our task\, such tail estimates are intimately connected with conditional thinning ensembles from random matrix theory\, and nonlocal versions of the so-called Painlevé equations. The unraveling of such connections was a parallel task that we had to overcome\, together with many other colleagues\, and led to interesting phenomena that we hadn't anticipated with our original question. During our talk\, we plan to go through such developments as well.\n\nThe talk is mostly based on joint works with Promit Ghosal (University of Chicago)\, but partially also in works in preparation with Tom Claeys (UC Louvain)\, Leslie Molag (Universidad Carlos III) and Lun Zhang (Fudan University).

Overcoming the West Nile Virus\, which left her partially paralyzed\, Ferris demonstrates remarkable resilience and dedication in her intricate cross-hatching and emotionally charged illustrations.\nMy Favorite Thing Is Monsters intertwines a coming-of-age story with a murder mystery and a historical reflection on the Holocaust. Through young Karen Reyes\, Ferris delves into themes of identity\, fear\, and the complexities of humanity. Her art\, inspired by horror magazines and pulp fiction\, juxtaposes the grotesque and the beautiful\, fostering empathy and understanding.\n\nFerris challenges the boundaries of graphic literature\, using the medium to address complex social issues and personal histories. Her work confronts internal and external monsters\, revealing profound truths about the human experience. By pushing the limits of graphic novels\, Ferris elevates the form to explore deeper narratives and emotional landscapes\, inviting readers into a world where art and story are inseparable.\n\nFerris's contributions extend beyond her graphic novels. In April 2022\, Ferris was reported among the more than three dozen comics creators who contributed to Operation USA's benefit anthology book\, Comics for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds\, a project spearheaded by editor Scott Dunbier\, whose profits would be donated to relief efforts for Ukrainian refugees resulting from the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.\n\nMy Favorite Thing is Monsters has been translated into French\, Italian\, Portuguese\, Spanish\, German\, and Korean. It has been honored with numerous awards\, among them: The Lambda Literary Award\, multiple Eisners\, the Ignatz\, and the Fauve d’or at the Angouleme Festival\, France.\n\nFerris has exhibited her art extensively in the US and Europe\, and prior to the pandemic she was honored to teach classes at the Louvre.\n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Library\, Vault of Midnight\, and the Ann Arbor District Library. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. Series presenting partners: Detroit PBS and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Radio.

Written through the tumultuous eyes of 2020 and recorded in Eau Claire\, WI in profound collaboration with long-time friend and producer Shane Leonard\, these are songs of struggle and aliveness expressed with great joy. \n\n“I wrote feverishly in the strange chaos of that year\, suddenly out of work and attempting to understand the shifting human fabric\, the depth of desperation\, and the overwhelming tenacity of spirit. The resulting songs felt rhythmic and vital\, with more melody and soaring chorus than I’ve explored in the past. There was no way and no means to gather a full band\, and I brought the songs to Shane’s doorstep knowing and fully trusting the skill and exuberance of his creative imagination. Shane stripped everything down to the studs and we rebuilt it together\, just the two of us for a month in his garage studio\, Shane dreaming up each sonic layer while I chased the lyrics to one last double chorus.” UID:123677-21851353@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123677 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241007T181711 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Ye Mee Kim\, organ DESCRIPTION:Graduate student Ye Mee Kim performs a recital.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852726@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240731T001525 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MORE (FACULTY): Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start DESCRIPTION:This workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations.

However\, ML has a strong ontology - in which only the data exist - and a strong epistemology - in which a model is considered good if it performs well on held-out training data. These philosophies are in strong conflict with both standard practices and key philosophies in the natural sciences. I identify some locations for ML in the natural sciences at which the ontology and epistemology are valuable. I also show that there are contexts in which the introduction of ML introduces strong\, unwanted statistical biases. My partial answers I provide (to the question in my title) come from the particular perspective of physics.\n\nWork in collaboration with Soledad Villar at JHU.\n\nhttps://cosmo.nyu.edu/hogg/ UID:124546-21853173@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124546 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241007T143748 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UM Structure Seminar: Structural Characterization of Human Membrane Cytochrome P450 2J2 DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student\nEmily Scott Lab UID:127494-21859215@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127494 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - LSI Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621431@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241115T181510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Arbor Glyph DESCRIPTION:Arbor Glyph is an installation centered around a collective painting of trees\, created by Stamps students and activated by a colorful projection repurposing hand-painted elements and bringing them to life.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

The importance of this fabric can be seen in the surviving material culture of this ancient civilization\, such as the representations of figures wearing bright white linen garments in tomb paintings and intricately wrapped and carefully shrouded mummified bodies. However\, unraveling the lives of the people involved in the production of these textiles is quite challenging\, as these individuals are relatively invisible in the historical and archaeological record. One way to approach this problem is to examine the textiles they created with their own hands. Each thread that was spun and woven was created by communities of practice\, which—through a process of situated learning—developed a shared repertoire of techniques\, skills\, and preferences. When we look at a handmade textile\, whether ancient or modern\, we are seeing the results of the countless choices made in each stage of its production. \n\nIn this Flash Talk\, Heidi Hilliker (PhD candidate in Egyptology) investigates a collection of mortuary textiles from Theban tombs of 21st and 22nd Dynasty Egypt\, evaluating local similarities and differences in textile production. The textiles in question\, which come from tombs at Deir el-Bahari and Bab el-Gasus\, display striped patterns in undyed\, blue\, and red thread along the selvage (the vertical edge of the cloth formed during the weaving process). While these patterns undoubtedly served a decorative purpose\, this talk argues that they also conveyed information about the makers themselves. A communities-of-practice approach suggests that these striped markings encapsulate the traditions learned within a network of weavers and may even represent intentional forms of maker’s marks used by workshops\, groups\, or individual weavers.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects.

Lay Auto Lab and\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\n\nAbstract: Cell reprogramming\, the transformation of a cell from one cell type to another through the introduction of exogenous transcription factors (TFs)\, is a rapidly developing research area that could lead to groundbreaking therapeutic technologies in areas such as tissue regeneration\, disease modeling\, and personalized medicine. However\, there still exist many challenges obstructing its practical viability. Discovering which TFs induce reprogramming requires a combinatorial search\, and testing a single\ncandidate set of TFs experimentally can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take multiple months. Moreover\, even when an effective set of TFs is known\, cell conversion efficiency lies only around 5%.\n\nFaced with these challenges\, researchers have developed computational surrogate models to rapidly explore the TF search space at a fraction of the cost of wet lab experimentation. Unfortunately\, these models have seen limited success in practice due to the difficulty of capturing the complex gene-gene\ninteractions within the cell\, most of which are still not well-understood. With the recent high-profile rise of transformer-based foundation models for natural language\, researchers are now turning to the transformer to push past current performance limitations in a wide range of digital biology tasks\, including cell reprogramming. Of particular interest in these models is the attention mechanism\, which is potentially well-suited for capturing long-range gene-gene interactions at a higher fidelity than previously possible. In this talk\, I will describe how the transformer architecture has been adapted for cellular biology and analyze the utility of one such model\, Geneformer\, in identifying TFs for cell reprogramming. Specifically\, I will present the results of an in silico perturbation experiment for reprogramming fibroblast cells to hematopoietic stem cells and compare the outcomes to experimental results found in the literature. I will conclude the talk with a discussion of the drawbacks and limitations of the Geneformer model and provide an assessment of what will be needed in the future for digital biology to fully reap the benefits of large-scale foundation models.\n\nBio:\nNick Galioto is a second-year postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan (UM).

By the end of World War II\, Nazis and collaborators had succeeded in killing over 90% of Poland’s Jewish population\, about three million people. Most survivors emigrated\, but an estimated 90\,000 remained – only to be expelled in large numbers through an antisemitic\, government-run campaign in 1968. \n\nTraces of both the vibrant Jewish community that once lived in Poland – and the violence that killed and expelled so many of them – are visible in today’s contemporary Polish landscape: synagogues that are now furniture stores\, doorframes that once held mezuzot\, overgrown Jewish cemeteries. The Galicia Jewish Museum\, located in Kazimierz\, the pre-Holocaust heart of the Kraków Jewish Community\, exhibits photographs of these traces. In doing so\, the museum aims to complicate a narrative of Polish Jewish history that usually begins and ends solely with Auschwitz. \nIn this talk\, I share some of my experiences interning at the Galicia Jewish Museum this summer. Drawing on my experience giving tours of the museum’s permanent exhibition and working in the museum’s education department\, I’ll discuss the tangles of remembering the Holocaust in Poland and the complex landscape of Jewish institutions in Kraków. Institutions like the Galicia Jewish Museum\, I’ll argue\, offer us an opportunity to reflect on the politics of memory museums\, urban museology\, and the decisions that face those who live among traces of genocidal violence.

These beads are still used in East Africa and other regions. However\, the only well-documented ethnographic records of their manufacture come from the San and Bakgalagadi communities in the Kalahari region of southern Africa. Despite this\, some aspects of their social significance remain largely unexplored.\n\nHistorically\, research on ostrich eggshell beads in southern Africa has focused mainly on their use in exchange contexts\, with less emphasis on their role in bodily adornment or the social contexts of their manufacture and consumption. This talk reports on the production process of ostrich eggshell beads and their cultural significance among the El Molo community of Marsabit County\, Kenya.\n\nUndertaken as part of the British Museum’s Endangered Materials Knowledge Program (EMKP)\, this project utilized unstructured interviews\, participatory videos\, photography\, and note-taking to document the entire process of ostrich eggshell bead manufacture. It also examined the social significance of the different types of necklaces made from these beads within the community.

Results from computer simulations and experiments are presented that explore dynamic associations ranging from clusters to condensates. From atomistic simulations and extensive comparisons with experimental data\, cluster formation involving proteins is identified as a major determinant of slowed-down diffusion at high concentration depending on protein interaction strength but also contact life times. Results from coarse-grained simulations with the recently developed COCOMO model explore charge-driven condensation involving different systems ranging from globular proteins and RNA to short peptides and RNA fragment and condensates composed of intrinsically disordered peptides. Finally\, recent results form atomistic simulations of condensates are presented to discuss molecular densities and dynamics inside biomolecular condensates.

To safeguard their employment outcomes\, the popular press\, policymakers\, and college administrators emphasize the importance of “practical majors” as an avenue to professional success for students. Major Trade-Offs delves into the internship and early employment experiences of students from four majors to investigate the organizational and cultural infrastructure that underlies practical arts majors’ initial labor market advantages over liberal arts graduates. Drawing on almost 200 longitudinal interviews\, Corey Moss-Pech shows that students with more “practical” degrees often easily enter the labor market through structured internship programs and they find entry-level jobs that are highly paid. However\, these jobs mostly involve mundane clerical tasks not drawing on graduates’ major-specific skills. Those who studied the liberal arts\, on the other hand\, often don’t have access to such internships\, struggle to enter the labor market\, and land in jobs that rarely pay a middle-class wage but do meaningfully draw on their major-specific skills. These differences reflect intersectional inequality\, as White middle-class men are more likely to occupy lucrative majors than women and men from less privileged backgrounds. Major Trade-Offs demonstrates the key advantages to vocational majors lie not in learning technical skills\, but in smooth labor market entry\, a finding that undermines how both academics and stakeholders think about the utility of college disciplines and the skills they teach.

This talk will share some recent and ongoing attempts to visualize and understand the current political landscape\, as well as some quantitative patterns in political psychology and the modern information ecosystem. These recently-gathered data inform a mechanistic dynamical model of ideological drift\, allowing theory to extrapolate the complex implications of micro-scale data to macro-scale outcomes---while iteratively improving and suggesting further data-gathering efforts to corner remaining uncertainty. The first waves of results from this perspective provide some remarkable insights\, providing some hope of understanding and productively informing political messaging and algorithmic design for a more reasonable political future.

Onassis Foundation” and covers the fifty-years entrepreneurial period of Aristotle Onassis. It consists of hundreds of archival boxes with thousands of documents and reveals the activities of a multinational business group across the globe\, with companies in four continents (Europe\, Asia\, Africa and America) and 14 countries (Greece\, France\, Monaco\, Germany\, Norway\, Sweden\, United Kingdom\, Argentina\, Uruguay\, Panama\, Honduras\, United States\, Saudi Arabia and Liberia)\; its construction and classification breaks new ground in Business History internationally.\n\nGelina Harlaftis is Director\, Institute for Mediterranean Studies Foundation of Research and Technology-Hellas\, Professor of History of Maritime History\, University of Crete UID:126403-21857093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/126403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Classical Studies,Graduate Students,Lecture,Modern Greek LOCATION:Michigan League - Michigan Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241002T092336 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241101T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | \"Suspicion as Care: Reportage and Accusation in Perú’s Community Mental Health Reform\" DESCRIPTION:\"Perú initiated the implementation of a Community Mental Health model in 2016 after decades of reports about human rights violations in asylums. Now\, clients are being deinstitutionalized from psychiatric hospitals and transitioned back to their households. However\, this reform has been met with an unexpected increase in mutual suspicion as well as practices of supervision and accusation that challenge two assumptions: that there is a community\, and that care can be performed there.\n\nIn this talk\, I explore how the Community Mental Health model and the process of psychiatric deinstitutionalization are transforming the everyday lives of residents of Ciudad Norte\, an impoverished district located at the outskirts of Lima\, where the reform started. Drawing on 18 months (2021-2022) of ethnographic fieldwork\, I evidence how this reform is not a withdrawal from the state\, but a series of interventions that recalibrate residents’ subjectivities. Residents are encouraged to report neighbors’ behaviors that might indicate a mental health problem or poor care for the mentally ill\, blurring the lines between truth and rumor\, care and coercion\, informing on and helping out. These practices of reportage and accusation—that I call suspicion as care—are informed by the mental health reform\, the legacies of political violence in the 1980s\, the Fujimori dictatorship in the 1990s\, and the global health enterprise.\"\n\nJulio Villa-Palomino is an anthropologist of mental health working at the intersections of Latin American studies and Surveillance studies. He received his Ph.D. from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is currently a fellow in the University of Michigan Society of Fellows.\n\nJulio’s research explores Perú’s transition from mental health care in psychiatric hospitals to a Community Mental Health model. His work has been funded by the National Science Foundation\, the Wenner-Gren Foundation\, and the Society for Psychological Anthropology. Julio's public-facing and community-oriented work has resulted in the implementation of a job support program for people diagnosed with severe mental illness\, the creation of a digital platform for mental health advocacy\, and collaboration with Peru's National Institute of Mental Health.

For example\, in the work of Deligne and Illusie\, an infinitesimal liftability was a key ingredient for studying the degeneration of Hodge to de Rham spectral sequence. In this talk\, we will discuss a particular type of lifting of varieties where we also lift the Frobenius morphism. This “Frobenius lift” has quite strong cohomological consequences\, so we expect this to be rare. In fact\, a conjecture of Achinger\, Witaszek and Zdanowicz predicts that smooth projective varieties with Frobenius lifts are roughly built out of toric varieties and abelian varieties\, and we will illustrate this conjecture by examples.

The corresponding Higgs category (in the sense of Yilin Wu) categorifies the cluster algebra (with non invertible boundary coefficients) associated to the surface by Fomin--Shapiro--Thurston. In recent work\, Merlin Christ has given a completely different description of this category as the \"1-periodic topological Fukaya category\". He obtains it by simplifying Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich's construction of the topological Fukaya category associated with the surface. Our aim is to present Christ's construction and\, if time permits\, the ongoing project of extending it to cluster algebras appearing in higher Teichmuller theory.

As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

His work includes landslide detection and assessment with remote sensing data and Machine Learning. He is also serving as Chair of the Young Engineering Geologist committee and Vice President of the International Association for Engineering Geology.\n\nAbstract: \nNatural hazards and climate change are intricately linked\, with shifting climatic patterns exacerbating the frequency and intensity of natural hazards such as landslides\, floods\, and storms. As these threats grow in scale and unpredictability\, assessing their impacts and developing mitigation strategies has become a critical challenge for ensuring the resilience of communities and ecosystems. The research explores the evolving landscape of natural hazards and climate change\, emphasizing advancements in scientific methodologies\, technological innovations\, and interdisciplinary approaches. Addressing the critical need for proactive assessment strategies\, the study highlights the integration of remote sensing\, geospatial analysis\, and predictive geological modeling to enhance hazard mapping and assessment. By fostering a deeper understanding of dynamic environmental processes and their interactions\, this research aims to contribute to more effective strategies for sustainable development and disaster preparedness in a rapidly changing world.

Bjarke defines architecture as the art and science of making sure our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives. Through careful analysis of local culture and climate\, the ever-changing patterns of contemporary life\, and the ebbs and flows of the global economy\, Bjarke believes in the idea of information-driven design as the driving force for his creative process.\n\nNamed one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time Magazine in 2016\, Bjarke has designed and completed award-winning buildings globally. Bjarke was appointed Knight of the French Order des Arts et des Lettres and the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Dannebrog in 2019 and 2018\, respectively. In 2021\, he was selected as an ambassador of the EU’s New European Bauhaus. He was named an Honorary Fellow by the AIA in 2020\, the RIBA in 2015 and the RAIC in 2014. The Wall Street Journal recognized Bjarke as Innovator of the Year in 2011\, the same year he received the Danish Crown Prince’s Culture Prize. Bjarke was also awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2004 and the ULI Award for Excellence in 2009. Alongside his architectural practice\, Bjarke has taught at Harvard University\, Yale University\, Columbia University and Rice University and is an honorary professor at the Royal Academy of Arts\, School of Architecture in Copenhagen. He is a frequent public speaker and continues to hold lectures in venues such as TED\, WIRED\, AMCHAM\, 10 Downing Street\, the World Economic Forum and many more.\n\nThis memorial lecture was established to recognize John Dinkeloo’s extraordinary contributions to architecture and commemorate excellence in architectural design. This annual lecture celebrates those designers whose work combines design excellence with structural ingenuity.

The complex is homotopic to a wedge of spheres\, and bear some similarities with spherical buildings\, though it is not a building. While the topology of this complex prevent a CAT(0) metric on it\, we show that it contains large pieces supporting equivariant non-positive curvature metric. As an application\, we deduce new results on the K(pi\,1) conjecture for several classes of Artin groups.

Celebrated for their daring balancing acts hundreds of feet in the air while constructing iconic landmarks\, Kanien’keha:ka ironworkers have made a distinct impact on New York City since the 1920s. As their fame grew worldwide in the second half of the twentieth century\, the “Mohawk ironworker” evolved into a mythical and allegorical figure in New York City folklore and a fantasy of the Western imagination.\n \nAssociate Professor Allan Downey will discuss this paper and associated animation which will illustrate the complex\, intersecting ways popular discourse on Indigenous ironworking has influenced contemporary perceptions of Indigenous masculinity. The project explores Indigenous narratives of this history as acts of community resurgence\, intellectual sovereignty\, and restoration that offers a markedly different interpretation of Indigenous history.\n\nAllan Downey is Dakelh\, Nak’azdli Whut’en\, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous History\, Nationhood\, and Self-Determination\, and Associate Professor of History and Indigenous Studies Department at McMaster University.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817953@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241115T181510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Arbor Glyph DESCRIPTION:Arbor Glyph is an installation centered around a collective painting of trees\, created by Stamps students and activated by a colorful projection repurposing hand-painted elements and bringing them to life.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621432@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

It was on their own\, however-following divergent paths through disparate musical traditions\, countries\, and cultures-that they both arrived as virtuosi and composers at the highest levels of contemporary string music. Fans of acoustic music can hardly mention one without referencing the other's work. With HAAS\, these singular musicians finally record together - in duo form - for the first time. It is a collaboration a lifetime in the making\, and a music encompassing travels through time and through the world From Nashville to Norway\, the Celtic Isles to California\, Natalie and Brittany have absorbed\, adapted\, and made their own world of music. The result? HAAS.\n\nNamed one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch\,” Nic Gareiss (he/they) has been hailed by the New York Times for his “dexterous melding of Irish and Appalachian dance” and called “the most inventive and expressive step dancer on the scene” by the Boston Herald. Nic has earned numerous accolades including a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for traditional singer of the year and the Michigan Heritage Award\, the state's highest distinction bestowed on traditional artists. Always jubilant\, often puckishly queer\, Nic Gareiss has emerged as one of the most beloved and singular performers of contemporary traditional dance and music.\n\nhttps://www.brittanyhaas.com/\nhttps://www.nataliehaas.com/\nhttps://www.nicgareiss.com/ UID:122148-21848375@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122148 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241028T181645 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241102T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Xavier Perry\, voice DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Xavier Perry performs a recital.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621433@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241103T120004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241103T111100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241103T121100 SUMMARY:Other:H2O Sunday Service DESCRIPTION:Come join us for praise and worship with students and alumni from UoM at the Rackham Building (4th floor).
