Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931470@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191017T085859 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week - Assessment and Treatment of Post Traumatic Stress in Today's Veterans DESCRIPTION:What is PTSD?

Crafting Theravada Buddhism: Touch and Material in the lives of Thai Buddhists DESCRIPTION:Forming\, touching\, and repairing Buddhist objects and architecture are central to the religious lives of Thai Buddhists\, be they monks\, craftspeople\, or laypeople. Thai historical chronicles\, local legends\, and everyday discourse position the intentional physical contact with Buddhist material (through ritual and everyday labor) as generating spiritual benefit and constructing ethical values. Drawing on historical analysis and ethnographic work\, this talk presents a number of cases that show how Thai Buddhists hold hand-based religious touch to be spiritually powerful and socially efficacious.

Recent research has exposed a troubling relationship between concussion and long-term health consequences to brain health\, such as cognitive impairment\, depression\, and neurodegenerative disease. Appropriate concussion management is thought to play a critical role in improving long and short-term health outcomes for those with concussion. Unfortunately\, the diagnosis and post-injury management of concussion remains challenging for many reasons\, including: the lack of a gold standard diagnostic marker\, the potential for strategic symptom reporting\, and the need for guidelines built on rigorous analysis of large\, observational clinical datasets. In this research\, we develop two frameworks to address these issues. In the first framework\, we formulate the two-threshold problem (TTP) as a stochastic programming model to determine which patients should be diagnosed as positive\, negative\, or deferred due to a lack of conclusive evidence. We characterize the optimal solution to TTP and develop data-driven methodologies to solve and calibrate TTP. In the second framework\, we formulate a multi-agent Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (mPOMDP) to model both the patient’s and doctor’s perspectives in sequential treatment decision problems. We analyze the role strategic symptom-reporting on the optimal timing of return-to-play from sports-related concussion. While classical results for POMDPs do not hold for the mPOMDP\, we derive conditions which ensure that the doctor’s optimal policy follows a threshold-type structure. For both frameworks\, we conduct numerical studies using multi-center data from the CARE Consortium – the largest available dataset on sports-related concussion. We show that our frameworks outperform existing methods commonly used in practice and use our findings to generate concussion clinical management insights. The models developed in this research provide technical contributions to data-driven decision-making that can be applied broadly to other areas within and beyond healthcare.\n\nBio:\nGian-Gabriel Garcia is a PhD Candidate in the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master’s degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan. In his research\, Gian is interested in developing data-driven frameworks for predictive and prescriptive analytics as motivated by high-impact problems in healthcare. His current research focuses on (1) using large clinical datasets to gain patient-specific insights on disease progression and (2) combining these insights with stakeholders’ perspectives to improve diagnosis and treatment decisions. His research has been applied to concussion\, glaucoma\, and cardiovascular disease. It has been recognized by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship\, the INFORMS Bonder Scholarship for Applied Operations Research in Health Services\, the Rackham Merit Fellowship\, the SMDM Lee B. Lusted Prize in Quantitative Methods and Theoretical Developments\, and first prize at the INFORMS Minority Issues Forum Poster Competition.

This barrier is not\, however\, impenetrable. Some small molecules\, including drugs\, can burrow through and manifest therapeutic activities. Others can be “cloaked” to endow membrane permeability\, and then uncloaked inside cells. We have learned how to beneficially cloak proteins\, which are typically 100-fold larger than small-molecule drugs. Specifically\, the conversion of protein carboxyl groups into esters enables the protein to traverse the lipid bilayer. The nascent esters are substrates for endogenous enzymes that regenerate native proteins within cells. The ability to deliver native proteins directly into cells opens a new frontier for medicine.\n\nSpeaker:\nRonald Raines\, Ph.D.\nFirmenich Professor of Chemistry\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology UID:68971-17205311@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68971 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,biomedical research,Biosciences,drug discovery,Life Science,Research LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190917T164508 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar: Maps and Neural Codes in Whisker Somatosensory Cortex DESCRIPTION:Host: Sam Kwon UID:67361-16839927@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67361 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Neuroscience,Research,Science,seminar LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191117T120015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Nationals at Pittsburgh DESCRIPTION:Club water polo nationals at university of Pittsburgh  UID:68589-17351813@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68589 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Pittsburgh CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191117T120014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:NIRCA Cross Country National Championships DESCRIPTION:Get up and get ready MRun!

Uranium-235 emits very few neutrons\, and the low energy photons it emits are easily shielded\, making passive detection of highly enriched uranium very difficult. Actively interrogating the material with neutron or photon sources can provide a much more prominent detection signal. These sources of radiation can be used to either induce detectable emissions in the material\, or radiograph the material to distinguish it from possible shielding. Active interrogation presents detection challenges in signal quality and operational feasibility\, especially because currently-available sources mostly emit photons that can be easily shielded and are below photonuclear energy thresholds. My research will focus on addressing these challenges by demonstrating advantages of photon interrogation based on recent enabling technologies\, both from the perspective of the interrogating source and the detection system.\n\nInverse Compton scattering quasi-monoenergetic photon sources using a laser-driven plasma accelerator are a developing technology that has strong potential to advance photon interrogation methods. These sources use the laser wakefield phenomenon to accelerate electrons to very high energy. Photons from a secondary laser beam interact with these electrons through inverse Compton scattering\, producing a photon source highly focused in energy and space. The energy of these photons can be tuned to penetrate shielding and induce photonuclear reactions. The work presented here is based on quasi-monoenergetic photon sources at the University of Nebraska Lincoln and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Through Monte Carlo simulations\, I have demonstrated the capability to image heavily shielded nuclear material\, validated by experiment. These studies showed increased accuracy for hidden nuclear material detection over traditional bremsstrahlung sources.\n\nA 9-MeV linac has been installed at UM\, which outputs a high intensity of photons capable of inducing photonuclear reactions. This high photon intensity makes neutron detection and identification challenging\, but we are developing methods to detect prompt neutrons in-pulse with organic scintillators. These methods incorporate high throughput data acquisition\, active background reduction\, and collaboratively developed neural-network based pulse discrimination and recovery. Initial experiments interrogating lead and tungsten surrogates for highly enriched uranium have identified elevated neutron counts for the cases with target present over active background.\n\nCompared to a quasi-monoenergetic photon source\, the bremsstrahlung source produces many low-energy photons that only contribute to surrounding dose rates. To demonstrate this dosimetric advantage\, and verify shielding for the operation of various accelerators\, a method for measuring dose rates was required. An organic scintillator based strategy was developed to provide a replicable and dual-particle dose rate detection method. This method has been used to simultaneously measure neutron and gamma dose rates from isotopic sources\; these results show reasonable agreement with traditional instruments. Future experiments will demonstrate the method with active interrogation sources.\n\nThe results of my research will enable the use of organic scintillators and novel photon sources for use in an active interrogation scenario to prevent the spread of nuclear material.

An implicit assumption in previous theorizing and research using this social-functional approach to leader emotions has been that leaders’ emotional expressions logically follow from the situation for followers and thus help followers who observe these expressions to better understand the situation. However\, leader's emotional expressions are not always predictable to followers. We extend the social-functional approach by investigating what happens when leader emotional displays are perceived as unpredictable by followers. We propose that leader emotional unpredictability sparks uncertainty among followers about how the leader allocates ranks and resources within the team\, which triggers intra-team power struggles. Such power struggles—intra-team conflicts over resources among followers—in turn undermine team performance. Using a multi-method approach\, we find support for our model in three studies\, including two laboratory experiments and a field study of 246 retail teams. The findings inform our understanding of how leaders’ emotional displays influence team performance\, extending the social-functional approach to emotion by illuminating how the perceived unpredictability of leaders’ emotional expressions can be dysfunctional for teams.

In many situations\, these superior properties will be desired in harsh environments\, such as elevated temperatures\, at high rates\, and under irradiation. Nanolaminates\, built from stacks of crystalline layers\, each with nanoscale individual thicknesses\, are proving to exhibit a composite of many of these target properties. Examples span from nanotwinned materials to biphase nanolaminates\, comprised of alternating nano-thick layers that differ in orientation\, chemistry and crystal structure. Studies on these materials report exceptional properties far beyond a volume average value of their constituents\, such as strengths that are over five to ten times higher\, hardness values that are several orders of magnitude higher\, and unprecedented microstructural stability in harsh environments\, such as irradiation\, sudden impact\, or elevated temperatures. While the combination of properties is clearly attractive\, one roadblock to applying the nanolaminate concept to any general composite material system is their complex\, highly anisotropic deformation behavior\, making them less reliable than coarsely structured materials. Critical to designing the material nanostructure to achieve uniformity and reliability is understanding and predicting the strength properties of nanostructure materials based on known conditions and measurable variables\, such as basic nanostructure size scales and chemical composition. Multiscale models for conventional coarse-grained materials have been in development for several decades\, but analogous versions for nanostructured materials require extensions to explicitly account for the overriding dominance of internal boundaries on these microstructure/property relationships. The computational materials challenge lies in how to represent the discrete and statistical dislocation glide processes in nanostructured materials so that the profound influence of the fine nanoscale crystals can be properly replicated in simulation. In this talk\, we will present recent examples of computational techniques and some unanticipated couplings between nanostructural size effects and microstructural evolution and strength that arise from their application.\n\nBio: Irene J.

During medieval pilgrimage to Jerusalem\, Rome or Santiago\, readers and writers suffered from specific constraints occasioned by the rigors of their laborious journeys which were frankly nasty\, brutish and long. An international team is tackling the oxymoron of “pilgrim libraries” attempting to catalog the challenges faced by pre-modern people on the move against their tools of literacy. Packing lists for Palestine survive\, but fall silent about supplies for readers or writers. What readings prompted medieval folk to undertake sacred travel and what textual trail did they leave in their wake?\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Nicholas Henriksen at nhenriks@umich.edu.

The origin of this latter group is debated. We suggest the isotopic and trace element variations reflect the contribution of the metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) in the Payenia source. We present a simple forward model of cumulate formation and metasomatism and subsequent melting within the SCLM that predicts the observed Payenia lava compositions.  Variations in 143Nd/144Nd and 176Hf/177Hf suggest that the age of the SCLM cumulates is 100-150 Ma\, which coincides with the development of the proto-Pacific Andean arc and the breakup of Gondwana. Variations in δ18Ooli­ values from modeled cumulate-derived melts indicate that differentiation and melting within the SCLM represents a process that can fractionate oxygen isotopes even when the melt forming the cumulate has MORB-like δ18O values\, explaining the observations of low-δ18O signatures of Payenia.

Currently\, there are very few fast-neutron sources for civilian research. Recently\, access to fast-neutron technologies has been fulfilled by using foreign nuclear research reactors\, but many research institutions and industries do not have access to this technology and resource\, which can limit development of advanced nuclear energy technologies. Furthermore\, this limits the expansion of practical knowledge and feasibility in the area of nuclear physics\, chemistry\, material science\, and instrumentation and measurement. Therefore\, efforts have begun to develop the Versatile Test Reactor (VTR)\, a bridge to advance nuclear future. The objective of which is to perform irradiation tests on fuels\, materials\, and components to understand and evaluate their performance. The access to VTR will significantly increase the knowledge base in terms of irradiation of materials\, reactor fuels and components. The inclusion of these experiment vehicles will enable the VTR to perform multiple tests that can support various mission areas while enhancing technical readiness levels for its anticipated life of 50 to 100 years.\n\nBIO: Dr. Piyush Sabharwall is a staff research scientist working in Nuclear System Design and Analysis Division at Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

Odessa Ortiz\, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict\, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts\, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise\, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace. Inventive and timely\, Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water by the Spoonful is a powerful\, compassionate look at the meaning of family\, and the burdens we must carry to protect it. \n\nWater by the Spoonful gets its name from the restorative power of water. The play was commissioned by Hartford Stage while Quiara Alegría Hudes (who also wrote the book for the Tony Award-winning In The Heights) was an Aetna New Voices Fellow. The play debuted in October\, 2011 to strong reviews\, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo\, The Hartford Courant).

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770265@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191029T133142 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T103000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15002311@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884115@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.  UID:63837-15901151@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63837 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190620T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Walter Oltmann DESCRIPTION:Infant Skull II\, a woven “tapestry” made out of very fine aluminum wire\, only reveals its shape when seen from afar. Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191029T133245 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T114500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Paleo Prep Lab Chat DESCRIPTION:Join us at the visible labs in the atriums for a discussion about the science happening inside.

Odessa Ortiz\, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict\, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts\, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise\, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace. Inventive and timely\, Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water by the Spoonful is a powerful\, compassionate look at the meaning of family\, and the burdens we must carry to protect it. \n\nWater by the Spoonful gets its name from the restorative power of water. The play was commissioned by Hartford Stage while Quiara Alegría Hudes (who also wrote the book for the Tony Award-winning In The Heights) was an Aetna New Voices Fellow. The play debuted in October\, 2011 to strong reviews\, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo\, The Hartford Courant).

Mellon Workshop: Historical and Contemporary Expressions of Populism in Africa and Beyond DESCRIPTION:Populism has re-emerged across the globe\, displaying multiple\, left and right leaning variants and provoking complex engagements with the limits of liberal democracy. There is a new generation of populists on the African stage\, offering contradictory and often disturbing visions regarding Africa’s future. Some\, including Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa\, have re- imagined concepts and policies linked historically to theories on the left\, while others\, such as David Bahati and the anti-gay campaigners of Uganda\, have advanced a deeply conservative and reactionary religiosity. These new forms of populism that are being expressed across the political spectrum invite careful analysis of the continuities and ruptures in African politics from the 20th to the 21st centuries\, as well as the ways in which ideas and movements travel across national boundaries. Several contemporary populist movements are historically rooted in older movements on the continent\, and those histories provide linguistic markers and affective registers for contemporary encounters. Yet the current brands of populism are also distinctive in their own right\, rather than simply being a re- packaging and reiteration of national liberation. As in the 1950s and 60s—the era of decolonization— when newly independent African states were sometimes confronted with populist movements that challenged their technocratic and nationalist frames\, the failures of postcolonial developmental projects have provoked contestations today. Moreover\, in the 1970s\, African dictators drew on new media— radio and television in particular—to define for their audiences new modes of political and cultural belonging. Social media today is different from that period in reach and in tone\, but it has made possible the creation of new spaces and organisational forms for politics. For example\, aided by social media\, social movements\, especially queer and feminist organisations\, have escalated in intensity and appeal over the past several decades\, and these also shape the contours of populism. Their aspirations and objectives significantly inform populist rhetoric\, either acting as subjects of its many demands\, or as the objects of derision.\n\nThis workshop will reflect on the cultural and political registers and infrastructures of populism in Africa (and elsewhere). What circumstances invite (some) people to see themselves as an oppressed majority? What work do authenticité and other nativist agendas do to clarify identities and marginalize minorities? What is the relationship between African forms of liberal democracy\, and development in particular\, and populism? Are populist movements opening up spaces for new forms of gendered political performances? Finally\, what lessons can be learned from the past as African\, American\, and European democracies together confront a renewed wave of nativist enthusiasm?

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770266@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191029T133142 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T103000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15002312@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884116@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988423@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931472@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191029T133328 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T123000 SUMMARY:Other:Wonderful World of Whales Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059408@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191003T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T131500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Check at the Welcome Desk for schedule. \n\nJoin a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

Odessa Ortiz\, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict\, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts\, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise\, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace.

The play debuted in October\, 2011 to strong reviews\, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo\, The Hartford Courant). It received a similar welcome when it opened Off-Broadway in 2013\, and won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2012. “A combination poem\, prayer\, and app on how to cope in an age of uncertainty\, speed\, and chaos” (Variety)\, Water by the Spoonful is a thought-provoking and heartwarming piece about finding and granting forgiveness\, to yourself and others\n\nWater by the Spoonful contains strong language and sensitive themes including PTSD\, addiction\, and suicide.

Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings.
