This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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.

We also present related work on the accuracy of the Laplace approximation (LA) to high-dimensional posterior densities\, and derive a higher-order correction to the LA. These results are both theoretically significant and useful for the computations involved e.g. in Bayesian model selection and construction of credible sets. Finally\, we prove the tightest known high-dimensional Bernstein-von Mises theorem\, closing the long-standing gap between conditions for asymptotic normality in Bayesian and frequentist inference.\n\nOur expansion of posterior integrals\, which are naturally of Laplace type for large sample size\, is also of theoretical significance in asymptotic analysis. It fills the gap in the theory between the classical fixed-dimensional regime dating back to Laplace\, and more recent work on the asymptotic expansion of infinite-dimensional Laplace-type integrals due to Ben Arous.\n\nhttps://anyakatsevich.github.io/ UID:129239-21862367@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129239 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T200000 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:84303-21621495@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:20241107T172312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wonders of Water Community Art Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Nov 29 2024 - Sun\, Jan 26 2025\, All day\nDive into the beauty and significance of North America's rivers with The Wonders of Water\, a community art exhibit that pays homage to the vital roles rivers play in our environment and society.

These range from early radar systems to modern applications that are capturing imagination of engineers today: wearable sensors or antennas\, antennas and sensors for driverless vehicles\, threat detection scanners\, non-invasive medical devices\, advanced electromagnetic (EM) and acoustic materials. In exploring these applications\, the state of art has advanced to an extent that it computational electromagnetics has become a routine part of the design eco-system. Indeed\, more often than not\, it is not uncommon for designers to ask whether measured data agrees with HFSS\, a simulation software. It was not always this way. A couple of decades ago\, the state of art of simulations was at its infancy. Problem that could be solved were electrically small and geometrically not sophisticated. The gradual transformation of the state of art happened in late 1990’s. The transformation was largely driven by both advances in computational horsepower as well new algorithms. In concert\, we have achieved remarkable capabilities. That said\, the richness of our electromagnetic environment implies that there are a range of problems that are still beyond the reach of our simulation capabilities. Challenges arise due to increase in frequency\, behavior of materials at these frequencies\, shape and topology optimization\, transient physics\, multi-physics challenges\, packaging in relation to new circuit architectures\, and so on. In this talk\, I will walk through some the grand challenges (biased perspective\, of course) that the community has overcome and our group’s role in these efforts. I will also diverge onto interesting intellectual forays into the intersection of computer graphics and computational electromagnetics as well as particle in cell methods for plasma physics.\n\nBio: \n\nB.

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).

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

This work has entailed rethinking foundational methodologies like genealogy\, philology\, phenomenology\, and humanism\, as well as influential critical paradigms developed in the 1980s and 90s such as feminist and queer studies. At the same time\, we have seen a flourishing of new critical methodologies\, including disability studies\, trans studies\, environmental studies\, global studies\, digital humanities\, and critical race studies. \n\nInspired by the scholarship and mentorship of Valerie Traub\, this conference brings these critical trends into conversation to think about how the questioning\, revising\, and renewing of older critical methodologies relates to the emergence of new critical methodologies and their effect on our modes of inquiry. How\, we ask\, is our knowledge of the past shaped by the methods of our inquiries and the networks in which we practice them? How do we build on earlier critical efforts even as we critique them? Who has been included and excluded in our knowledge relations with various periods\, specific topics\, disciplines and institutions? \n\nThis conference will bring together over two dozen leading scholars and teachers alongside professionals in related fields to reflect on the past and future of our intellectual practices\, including how we can and do impact contemporary culture outside of academia. The conference will feature new work from scholars in performance studies\, critical race studies\, empire studies\, new philology\, trans studies\, and disability studies\, among others. It will explore the opportunities for synergies both topical and professional. By bringing a diverse range of practitioners together\, Knowledge Relations explores how we might make the past and the future\, together. \n\nSPEAKERS:\nMisty Anderson\, Abdulhamit Arvas\, Amanda Bailey\, Tiffany Ball\, Gina Bloom\, Andrew Bozio\, Theresa Braunschneider\, Hannah Bredar\, Katherine Steele Brokaw\, Lauren Eriks Cline\, Amrita Dhar\, Holly Dugan\, Will Fisher\, Ari Friedlander\, Joey Gamble\, Rebecca Hixon\, Gavin Hollis\, Sarah Linwick\, Maureen McDonnell\, Cecilia Morales\, Amy Rodgers\, Marjorie Rubright\, Stephen Spiess\, Aaron Stone\, Chad Thomas\, Kathryn Will\, and Laura Williamson.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/umass.edu/knowledge-relations/home UID:128171-21860387@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128171 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Disability,History,Humanities,institute for the humanities,lgbtq,Queer Studies,Retirement,Trans Studies,Women's Studies LOCATION:Michigan Union - Pendleton Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250110T083942 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T150000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Attentional Control in Organizations: A Theory and Two Case Studies DESCRIPTION:This talk presents an integrated theory of attentional control in organizations\, building on the attention-based view (ABV) and drawing upon the neuroscience of attentional control. I propose that intentional organizational behavior is shaped by top-down mechanisms of attentional control—organizational goals and logics of action and how these are enacted within internal and external communication channels. These structures and processes moderate the focus of attention within and by organizations\, prioritizing which opportunities and threats are attended to and which action alternatives are selected.\n\nThe theory is supported and further developed by two empirical studies\, one published and one in progress. First\, a comparative analysis of Apple and Motorola's mobile computing strategies reveals how differences in attentional control led to divergent outcomes. Apple\, guided by its identity as a product leader\, sustained focus on combining existing capabilities in computing with newly acquired ones in smartphones\, which enabled successful innovation. Motorola's fragmented attention across divisions\, driven by conflicting goals and unclear direction\, failed to develop a competitive product.\n\nSecond\, the analysis of GAMMA\, a university COVID-19 testing initiative\, demonstrates how attentional control shapes business model adaptation. Drawing on comprehensive archival\, email\, and interview data\, we identify three interacting mechanisms: controlled attentional engagement directing focus toward strategic priorities\, trial-and-error learning through operational experience and stakeholder feedback\, and environmental selection pressures. GAMMA's evolution from technology transfer to integrated testing system illustrates how organizations exercise attentional control while adapting to emerging challenges. More specifically\, we identify a process of cascading attentional control\, where the mission serves as a superordinate goal\, establishing strategic and operational priorities over time and across the organizational hierarchy.

Devin teaches in the MESAS Department at Emory University in Atlanta.\n\nThis lecture will focus on the investigation of speech genres in the Qur’anic text. While studies of the Qur’an’s vocabulary\, grammar\, rhetorical figures\, legal rulings\, and theological doctrine produce valuable results\, the study of the genres that occur in the sacred text\, such retorts\, oaths\, curses\, prayers\, proverbs\, parables\, has received only limited attention to date. The lecture will endeavor to show how knowledge of the conventions of particular genres has the potential to explain some of the Qur’an’s most puzzling passages and to shed new light on others.\n\nBeverages and light snacks will be provided.

This presentation will highlight two recent examples from my group. First\, we have developed a novel flow estimation and control framework based on resolvent analysis\, a popular frequency-domain linear model\, with several advantages over standard methods. When equivalent assumptions are made\, the resolvent-based estimator and controller reproduce the Kalman filter and LQG controller\, respectively\, but at substantially lower computational cost. Unlike these methods\, the resolvent-based approach can naturally accommodate forcing terms (nonlinear terms from Navier-Stokes) with colored-in-time statistics\, which significantly improves the accuracy of the estimates. The framework is demonstrated using a series of aerodynamic problems. Second\, we are developing predictive nonlinear reduced-order models in the frequency domain based on spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD)\, a popular frequency-domain data-mining method. Most model reduction methods for the Navier-Stokes equations and other PDEs spatially reduce the flow state and evolve it forward in time without explicit temporal reduction. In contrast\, our new approach expands the state as a sum of temporal Fourier modes with a data-driven orthogonal basis of SPOD modes at each frequency\, and we derive near-optimal equations governing the unknown scalar expansion coefficients that define the contribution of each mode to the solution over a time interval of interest. We show that this approach significantly outperforms standard time-domain methods for several example problems.\n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:129840-21864634@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129840 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250119T120008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Camp Perry Open DESCRIPTION:Camp Perry Open 60-shot air rifle match\, hosted by the Civilian Marksmanship Program in Port Clinton\, OH UID:129859-21864700@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129859 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250110T134419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250117T160000 SUMMARY:Meeting:SoConDi DESCRIPTION:The SoConDi group is both a discussion platform and a study group for students and faculty members who are interested in sociolinguistics\, language contact\, discourse analysis and related disciplines including linguistic anthropology.

Dr. Holliday is a sociophonetician\, specifically interested in how people use linguistic variation to perform and construct their social identities and to understand the identities of others through differences in their use of properties related to intonation and voice quality. More recently\, she has been focused on the social uses and effects of speech technology\, especially as they relate to the nature of variation and inequality. Dr. Holliday also works on political speech and identity\, with a special focus on Barack Obama and VP Kamala Harris. \n\nHer ongoing research aims to address how speakers and listeners make social judgments based on acoustic properties\, using quantitative methods\, with a concentration on prosodic variables. Nicole Holliday is currently (2020-2025) the PI on a grant entitled ““Don’t Take That Tone With Me”: Linguistic Variation and Disciplinary Action on African American Children in Schools” along with Dr. Sabriya Fisher (Wellesley College). The project is funded by the Lyle Spencer Research Awards. Over the last several years\, she taught Language and Society\, Phonetics and Introduction to Linguistics. Dr. Holliday also taught several semesters of Linguistic Discrimination\, which is conducted in the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Format.\n______________\n\nCOLLOQUIUM TITLE: Sociolinguistic Competence Versus Artificial \"Intelligence\": Variation in the Face of Ubiquitous Large Language Models\n\nABSTRACT: Linguists take it as axiomatic that speakers are experts on their languages\, both in grammar and usage. However\, as Large Language Models (LLM) trained on text and speech become ubiquitous in domains from daily tasks to education and employment\, human expertise about language is increasingly devalued. This talk will present the results of three studies that focus on how LLMs judge and purport to \"fix\" the speech of human talkers\, also known as Social Feedback Speech Technologies (SFSTs). The first study shows how the Amazon Halo\, a wearable device that claims to evaluate \"tone of voice\" does not function as advertised\, and in fact systematically negatively evaluates the speech of Black talkers. Results of the second study\, which focuses on Read.AI and the Zoom Revenue Accelerator in videoconferencing contexts\, describe how SFSTs reinforce narrow \"standard\" language ideologies and fail to provide actionable\, realistic feedback to users. These systems also provide systematically worse evaluations for black speakers\, as well as those who are neurodivergent. Finally\, the third study analyzes the outputs of \"accent translation\" programs marketed by companies such as Sanas and Krisp\, showing that such programs do not functionally \"translate\" accents but rather transform speech to an imagined “American” variety that is phonetically unnatural. Taken together\, the studies show that \"AI\"-based programs that purport to evaluate human speech do so without consideration of linguistic principles or acknowledgement of speakers' sociolinguistic competencies. Such systems also act without transparency for both designers and users by design\, reproducing social stereotypes inherent to their training data. As a result\, they advise humans to produce unnatural speech\, and they punish speakers who do not conform to the narrow targets established by an LLM's training data. As such technologies are already being used to make employment decisions\, provide speech therapy\, and even draft police reports\, the fact that these systems systematically misevaluate speech represents a significant threat to all human speakers\, most especially those from marginalized groups.

The film centers a seemingly impossible dialogue between Arno Michaelis\, a former Neo-Nazi gang founder and Pardeep Kaleka\, son of the Sikh Temple President\, Satwant Singh Kaleka\, one of seven people killed in the shooting attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) by a white supremacist in 2012. \nThe film installation delves into the journey of Pardeep and Arno\, who\, over more than a decade\, dedicated themselves to restorative communication—listening deeply and seeking to understand the motivations behind each other's actions in the genesis and aftermath of atrocity.\nHow does healing begin? From the toxic polarization\, division and extreme racist violence that resulted in one of the worst mass shootings at a religious site in American history\, Pardeep insists that complete healing must eventually be a collective process for all\, to liberate both sides.\nThis event will include a screening\, followed by a conversation with the central figures in the film\, Pardeep Kaleka and Arno Michaelis\; the filmmakers\, David Chung and Pratāp Rughani\; and the exhibition curator\, Srimoyee Mitra.\nPardeep Kaleka is an advocate\, educator\, and author dedicated to fostering understanding and unity across diverse communities. As the Executive Director of the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee\, he promotes dialogue and collaboration among faith groups to combat hate and bigotry. Pardeep’s work is deeply rooted in personal experience\, following the tragic 2012 Sikh Temple shooting in Oak Creek\, Wisconsin\, where he lost his father. In response\, he co-founded Serve 2 Unite\, a peacebuilding organization that engages youth in countering hate through service and creativity.\nArno Michaelis is a peace activist\, author\, and speaker dedicated to promoting compassion and understanding. Once a founding member of a white supremacist group\, Michaelis transformed his life through the power of forgiveness\, human connection\, and his role as a single father. Today\, he works to combat hate and violence\, drawing from his personal journey to inspire positive change. Michaelis is the author of My Life After Hate\, and has worked with Serve 2 Unite\, an organization that engages young people of all backgrounds as peacemakers.\nDavid Chung is an acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker. His work focuses on how identities are shaped in immigrant communities and the challenges of refugees as they integrate into new homelands. Chung has exhibited his drawings\, prints\, and video installations at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Asia Society\, the Walker Arts Center\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Gwangju Biennale\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Chung has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the National Board Film Board of Canada’s Award for Best Documentary Film. Chung is a professor and the director of the MFA Graduate Program at the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art &\; Design.\nPratāp Rughani is a writer and non-fiction filmmaker. His work develops documentary practice to enable people of radically different perspectives to connect\, sometimes in the aftermath of violence and atrocity. Configuring a pro-filmic space to enable shared ​“witnessing” and the path towards restorative justice is a driving force in ​“Impossible Conversations” evolving through his practice in over thirty documentary films and exhibitions for BBC TV\, Channel 4\, Modern Art Oxford\, galleries and activist groups. The ethics of giving sustained attention to the experiences of marginalized\, excluded or sometimes reviled ​“others” and bringing them in relationship to the broader culture is central to his research into ethics of storytelling and the development of ​“Restorative Narrative.” Rughani is Professor of Documentary Practices at the University of the Arts\, London.\nSrimoyee Mitra is an award-winning curator and writer whose work is invested in building empathy and mutual respect among diverse communities through exhibitions\, discussions and publications. She has worked as a curator and artist writer in Canada and India and is published widely in journals and exhibition catalogs. She is the author of Border Cultures (Black Dog Publishing 2015)\, and Stephanie Dinkins: On Love &\; Data (University of Michigan Press\, 2024)\, and is the Director of Stamps Gallery at the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art &\; Design.\nPresented in partnership with the University of Michigan Stamps Gallery.

During that time\, she appeared at Festspielhaus Baden-Baden and in the Munich Winners & Masters series and won numerous awards\, including best pianist prizes at the Robert Schumann\, Hugo Wolf\, and Wigmore Hall International Song Competitions.\n\nSwitzer has long been a leader in envisioning and promoting the future of art song performance.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

This work has entailed rethinking foundational methodologies like genealogy\, philology\, phenomenology\, and humanism\, as well as influential critical paradigms developed in the 1980s and 90s such as feminist and queer studies. At the same time\, we have seen a flourishing of new critical methodologies\, including disability studies\, trans studies\, environmental studies\, global studies\, digital humanities\, and critical race studies. \n\nInspired by the scholarship and mentorship of Valerie Traub\, this conference brings these critical trends into conversation to think about how the questioning\, revising\, and renewing of older critical methodologies relates to the emergence of new critical methodologies and their effect on our modes of inquiry. How\, we ask\, is our knowledge of the past shaped by the methods of our inquiries and the networks in which we practice them? How do we build on earlier critical efforts even as we critique them? Who has been included and excluded in our knowledge relations with various periods\, specific topics\, disciplines and institutions? \n\nThis conference will bring together over two dozen leading scholars and teachers alongside professionals in related fields to reflect on the past and future of our intellectual practices\, including how we can and do impact contemporary culture outside of academia.

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:107870-21818017@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:20250116T121510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250118T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250118T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Impossible Conversations DESCRIPTION:Impossible Conversations is an exhibition and film installation by artists and filmmakers\, Pratāp Rughani and David Chung. The film centers a seemingly impossible dialogue between Arno Michaelis\, a former Neo-Nazi gang founder and Pardeep Kaleka\, son of the Sikh Temple President\, Satwant Singh Kaleka\, one of seven people killed in the shooting attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) by a white supremacist in 2012. \n \nThe film installation explores what happens when – for over a decade – Pardeep and Arno committed to a path of restorative communication - to listen deeply and connect with what motivates each other in the genesis and aftermath of atrocity.\nHow does healing begin? From the toxic polarization\, division and extreme racist violence that resulted in one of the worst mass shootings at a religious site in American history\, Pardeep insists that complete healing must eventually be a collective process for all\, to liberate both sides.\nAt Stamps Gallery\, Impossible Conversations will be accompanied by a dialogue and research room as well as photomurals that expand on the themes of restorative justice\, gun violence\, and how to sustain difficult dialogues to combat extremism and toxic polarization. \nExhibition curated by Srimoyee Mitra. Impossible Conversations has been supported in part by the Arts Research: Incubation &\; Acceleration (ARIA) program of The University of Michigan Office of the Vice President Research and the Arts Initiative\, Institute of Firearm Prevention Pilot Grant\, the Stamps School of Art and Design\, and the University of the Arts London. \nExhibition Programs\nAn Opening Screening\, Talkback\, and Reception will take place on Friday\, January 17\, 2025 from 5:30 – 8 p.m.\, and a Symposium will take place on Saturday\, January 18\, 2025 from 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. \nAbout the Artists\nPratāp Rughani is a writer and non-fiction filmmaker. His work develops documentary practice to enable people of radically different perspectives come into relation\, sometimes in the aftermath of violence and atrocity for example in South Africa\, Aboriginal Australia\, Europe\, Rwanda and the USA. Configuring a pro-filmic space to enable shared “witnessing” and the path towards restorative justice is a driving force in “Impossible Conversations” evolving through his practice in over thirty documentary films and exhibitions for BBC TV\, Channel 4\, Modern Art Oxford\, galleries and activist groups. The ethics of giving sustained attention to the experiences of marginalized\, excluded or sometimes reviled “others” and bringing them in relationship to the broader culture is central to his research into ethics of storytelling and the development of “Restorative Narrative.”\nRughani writes widely on the ethics of creative practice\, serves on several editorial Boards\, has won awards for film\, teaching\, and research\, and is Professor of Documentary Practices at the University of the Arts\, London.\nDavid Chung is an acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker. His work focuses on how identities are shaped in immigrant communities and the challenges of refugees as they integrate into new homelands.\nChung has exhibited his drawings\, prints\, and video installations at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Asia Society\, the Walker Arts Center\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Gwangju Biennale\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Chung has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the National Board Film Board of Canada's Award for Best Documentary Film. He was the 2013 Kim Koo Visiting Professor at Harvard University. \nChung is a professor and the director of the MFA Graduate Program at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design.

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:84303-21621496@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:20250115T181509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250118T110100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250118T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Stampede DESCRIPTION:Born from their passion for the arts\, The Stampede is a student-led organization building a new space for artists. In September 2023\, four undergraduates united with a simple mission: to create a space for showcasing exciting new art work. They established a foundation and worked to build a buzz through outreach and excitement. The Stampede first hosted a pop-up exhibition (party) at a friend's house\, exhibiting 53 pieces of original work\, with food\, drink\, and music\, and a smashing turnout from the local community. They have since evolved\, developed an infrastructure\, and grown into a platform for dynamic art work.\nToday\, The Stampede curates and facilitates exhibitions and events that bring together artists\, writers\, and musicians. From pop-ups and art markets to concerts and gallery shows\, they provide a vibrant platform for creativity for the community. The organization has broken new ground on multiple accounts to pave new ways for artists today and tomorrow\; bridging the divide between student and school. Functioning as an artist collective\, The Stampede focus on creating large-scale artworks\, promotional materials\, and merchandise for their events.\nThis exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of The Stampede: its origins\, current endeavors\, and future aspirations. Since its inception\, The Stampede has continuously surprised with its growth and transformation. Committed to providing opportunities for artists\, they will keep hosting events for their community and friends.\nJoin The Stampede in their journey\; they invite you to... RUN WITH US!

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).

Featuring musicians from the very communities most at risk\, the performance balances blunt reality\, eternal optimism\, and surrealism\, ultimately offering an exhortation to address climate change’s impact on our future.\n\nFeatured Artists:\nEtienne Charles\, music director\, trumpet\, and percussion\nMarcus Strickland\, woodwinds\nWarren Wolf\, vibraphone\, marimba\, and piano\nEva Scow\, mandolin\nJorge Glem\, cuatro\nJonathon Muir-Cotton\, bass\nVal Jeanty\, turntables and percussion\nJohn Davis\, drums UID:121964-21847857@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121964 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Advocacy,American Culture,Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,Basic Science,Biosciences,concert,Culture,Energy,Human Rights,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,International,Jazz,Mindfulness,multicultural,music,performance,Science,Social,social justice,Social Sciences,Storytelling,Trumpet,UMS,ums jazz series,Well-being LOCATION:Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250114T181655 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250118T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250118T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Collage Concert DESCRIPTION:The most highly anticipated performance event of the year\, the Collage Concert features the incredible range of SMTD ensembles and programs\, with students performing one riveting work after another without pause.\n\nJayce Ogren and Courtney Snyder\, artistic directors\n\nRecommended Ages: 3+ UID:122635-21849468@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122635 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Interdisciplinary,Music,Theater LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240807T103401 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250118T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Heywood Banks DESCRIPTION:Heywood Banks is simply one of a kind\, almost impossible to describe\, with a style his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon\, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon\, with a show that appeals to college students\, stoners\, businessmen\, yuppies\, rednecks\, punks\, kids or your grandmother. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted\, inventive\, bizarre songs\, sung and played in a variety of styles\, from folk\, to country to rock to pop\, and way beyond. You have to be pretty sharp to get Heywood at his deepest level (he demands a high level of pop culture literacy)\, but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations\, expert musicianship and just plain silliness. Heywood has appeared on A&E’s Evening at the Improv\, MTV’s 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour\, CNN’s Hollywood Minute\, Caroline’s Comedy Hour\, Entertainment Tonight\, Showtime Comedy Club Network\, and the Dr. Demento Show\,” and is a frequent guest on the national Bob and Tom radio show.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

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.

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:84303-21621497@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:20250414T011729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250119T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250119T120000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

To answer this question\, we need to understand its “space of possibilities”\, a “map” where we can find every possible position of the robot. Unfortunately\, these spaces are very large\, they live in very high-dimensions\, and they are very difficult to visualize. Fortunately\, mathematicians have encountered and studied these kinds of spaces before. Thanks to the tools they’ve developed\, we can build “remote controls” to navigate these complicated spaces\; this allows us to move (some) robots optimally. \n\nAs the imaginary border between “pure” and “applied” mathematics disappears before our eyes\, we face an important ethical questions that we cannot ignore: What’s the role of mathematicians and scientists in building a more just and equitable society?

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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:84303-21621498@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:20250205T063146 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Networking Event - Respiratory Therapist (Eau Claire\, WI) DESCRIPTION:Join Mayo Clinic Health System for a Respiratory Therapy Virtual Hiring Event! Are you interested in exploring a life-changing career as a Respiratory Therapist in Eau Claire\,WI?  Currently offering a $10k sign on bonus and minimum of $6k relocation funds for those who qualify! Experienced and New Grad Respiratory Therapist are invited to interview with our hiring team at this upcoming event.  *Please note the interview slots that are listed in Central Time Zone.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.
