Bodies also populate creative art and fiction responses to contemporary migration and provide an interpretative key for how we might think about the transnational experience of mobility. In this talk Dr. Bond will present her 2018 monograph \"Writing Migration through the Body\,\" which draws on a range of texts and visual art that link Italy to other sites of migration and diaspora. It argues that the individual bodies that move in contemporary migration flows are the primary agents through which the transcultural passages of images\, emotions\, ideas\, memories – and also histories and possible futures – are enacted. \n\nEmma Bond is Reader (Associate Professor) in Italian and Comparative Literature at the University of St Andrews\, UK. She has published widely on border and migration literature (\"Writing Migration through the Body\,\" 2018\; \"Destination Italy: Representing Migration in Contemporary Media and Narrative\,\" 2015)\, and on Trieste and psychoanalysis (\"Disrupted Narratives: Illness\, Silence and Identity in Svevo\, Pressburger and Morandini\,\" 2012\; \"Freud and Italian Culture\,\" 2009). Emma is founding co-Editor of the ‘Transnational Italian Cultures’ book series (Liverpool University Press) and founding section Editor for Comparative Literature for \"Modern Languages Open.\" Her current book project is on \"Re-Collecting Empire: Transnational Modes of Collecting\, Curating and Display.\" Emma has held fellowships at the School of Advanced Study\, London\; Bogliasco Foundation\, and the Wolfsonian-FIU.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

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:58562-15784160@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:63803-15884162@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.

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.

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

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.

We study one such brain region – the retrosplenial cortex. Though there is compelling evidence for the role of the retrosplenial cortex in spatial memory formation and retrieval\, little is known about how this brain region executes these functions. To understand the neural code employed by the retrosplenial cortex\, we performed large-scale electrophysiological recordings during sleep and wake states. Here\, we show that there exists a novel\, fast\, 140 Hz brain rhythm in the retrosplenial cortex during REM sleep and active behaviors. These rhythms demarcate high activity frames during REM sleep. Using whole cell physiology and computational modeling\, we show that these retrosplenial rhythms are mechanistically distinct from previously recognized fast rhythms such as ripples and gamma. Finally\, we show that retrosplenial 140 Hz rhythms are precisely modulated by running speed\, highlighting their central role in shaping the critical navigation and spatial memory functions of the retrosplenial cortex.

Since then\, hundreds of cold cases have been solved using similar investigative strategies. Critics argue that investigative genetic genealogy violates the privacy of direct-to-consumer genetic testing customers and their genetic relatives\, and some scholars worry that this will have a negative impact on data sharing in research and clinical care. During this session\, we will explore the ethical\, legal\, and social implications of law enforcement access to DNA data collected and shared for non-forensic purposes and how best to balance competing interests in promoting public trust and protecting public safety.\n\nAbout the seminar series:\nThe U-M Precision Health Seminar Series invites expert speakers to share meaningful\, relevant\, and late-breaking research on varied aspects of precision health. The interdisciplinary educational series\, which takes place monthly during the academic year\, features topics ranging from genetics to big data to health implementation (and much more) and is open to students\, faculty\, practitioners\, staff\, trainees\, and the general public. Our goal is to increase understanding of precision health data\, tools\, and applications\, to engage the academic community to enhance precision health research\, and to support the implementation of precision health to health systems.

For some\, this casts doubt on prominent conceptions of democracy that involve citizens making political choices based on policy considerations. In this paper\, we show that despite average instability in issue opinions\, voters can nevertheless make meaningful\, stable multidimensional political choices based on issue considerations. We draw on a new three-wave survey of the UK public that includes repeated measurements of issue-specific opinions and of the political choices respondents make when confronted with hypothetical candidates taking positions on those issues. We show that candidate choices made after 6 months and 12 months have nearly as strong relationships to self-reported issue positions as do the candidate choices made in the same wave as those self-reports\, and that choice stability is high when respondents choose between candidates who take clear and contrasting positions on the issues that respondents tend to care more about. Our findings demonstrate the mechanics underlying long-hypothesized theories of 'issue publics': stable political choices can arise from individuals making choices on the basis of the issues that they care about\, even when most people lack real attitudes on many issues.”\n\nThe goal of the Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods is to provide an interdisciplinary environment where researchers can present and discuss cutting-edge research in quantitative methodology. The talks are aimed at a broad audience\, with emphasis on conceptual rather than technical issues. The research presented is varied\, ranging from new methodological developments to applied empirical papers that use methodology in an innovative way. We welcome speakers and audiences from all disciplines and fields\, including the social\, natural\, biomedical\, and behavioral sciences.

Representation as we commonly know and experience it — as political\, scientific (including historical)\, artistic and mental — is torn and shorn by diaspora. Few diaspora Armenian artists see and seize this opportunity to create open-ended and radically interrogative works. Eulmessekian is one of them. His film invites seeing and hearing deeply by painstakingly skirting along the edges of ‘historical\,’ ‘documentary\,’ ‘natural\,’ ‘realistic\,’ ‘monolingual\,’ ‘familial\,’ and ‘everyday’ representations. The film features Vahé Oshagan reading and commenting on his poetry\, as well as analysis of his work by well known literary critics. Ultimately\, encountering Eulmessekian’s work amounts to experiencing the uncanny effect of diasporic emergence from arrested representation. \n\nThe screening will be followed by an artist talk. Hrayr Eulmessekian will reflect on the various strands of his work and the way they have been perceived and received by curated gallery spaces around the world. The evening will conclude with a panel discussion joined by Taline Voskeritchian.\n\nBeirut born artist and filmmaker Hrayr Eulmessekian’s works have been exhibited\, screened\, or broadcasted in cities around the world. A founding member of the San Francisco Armenian Film Festival\, he serves on its curatorial team. He was the guest editor of the 2014 Spring issue of ArteEast Quarterly. Eulmessekian is the recipient of the major grants from MGM/UA\, Grants for the Arts San Francisco\, New York Foundation for the Arts\, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.\n\nTaline Voskeritchian’s prose and translations (from Arabic and Armenian) have appeared in literary reviews in North America\, Europe\, and the Middle East. In April 2011\, as part of the international delegation of writers to Palestine Festival of Literature\, she conducted writing/translation workshops in Palestinian universities.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

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

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:58562-15784161@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:63803-15884163@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.

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.

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

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.

The focus of this exploration has typically been on simulation data. However\, applications also produce ephemeral data that is optionally written to disk for post hoc analysis\, but not otherwise saved or utilized by the application in subsequent time steps. One example of ephemeral data is runtime performance data. In this talk I will present the infrastructure implemented for efficiently collecting this and other data within the Uintah framework which was coupled to VisIt’s in situ toolkit for analysis and visualization. This collection and coupling allows performance data to be visualized using multiple domains giving insight previously not possible. As part this coupling\, we take advantage of VisIt’s in situ custom user interface to create a “simulation dashboard” that allows for in situ computational steering and visual debugging allowing for improvements in the development and simulation workflow.\n\nBio: Allen Sanderson\, Ph.D. is a Research Scientist at the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute.

There\, FLA play important roles in regulating microbial populations\, as they feed on bacteria and other small eukaryotes by a mechanism involving ingestion by phagocytosis. It is thought that this predatory pressure favored – on multiple occasion – the adaption of several microorganisms (mainly bacteria) to the intracellular lifestyle\, by stimulating the arising of resistance mechanisms against phagocytosis.\n\nThus\, we aim to study FLA and their associations with microorganisms\, as it stands out as pertinent model not only for better understanding the establishment of symbioses\, but also for decrypting mechanisms employed by several bacterial pathogens thriving within eukaryotic cells.

In the first part I will present an effective response theory for topological driven (Floquet) systems\, which are inherently far from equilibrium. As an example\, I will discuss a topological chiral Floquet drive coupled to a background $U(1)$ field\, which gives rise to a theta term in the effective action. In the second part\, I will discuss an ongoing project using effective field theories for hydrodynamics. I will show that chiral diffusion for interacting systems in 1+1 dimensions\, which may be relevant to edge transport in quantum Hall systems\, has an infrared instability. I will then discuss the fate of this instability.

Modeling Ion Engine Erosion and Quantifying Lifetime Margins and Uncertainty DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSolar electric propulsion (EP) is a key technology for human and robotic space missions\, and is part of NASA’s vision for expanding human presence beyond low earth orbit. The high specific impulse of EP enables reductions in propellant mass\, but at the price of long burn times. Deep space missions re-quire operating times of many 104 hours. Demonstrating that the thruster meets this requirement is a challenge. Multiple life tests of the full mission duration are not practical. The life capability must be demonstrated by combining physics-based modeling and short duration testing.\n JPL developed the CEX2D and CEX3D codes to model erosion of ion accelerator systems in ion engines\, a dominant failure mechanism. The codes model a primary ion beamlet and charge exchange (CEX) ions from the beamlet. Impingement of main\, beamlet\, and CEX ions on the grids then determine erosion rates. The models predict time-to-failure\, but key questions include: What is the uncertainty in those estimates? How much margin is needed to account for the uncertainties? Estimating uncertainty in experiments is routine\, but the modeling community is still developing techniques for estimating errors. In this talk we discuss the physical processes of ion engine grid erosion\, how they are modeled\, and methods for quantifying model uncertainty and required life margins.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Polk is a Principal Engineer in the Propulsion\, Materials\, and Thermal Engineering Section at the Jet Propulsion Lab\, and a lecturer in Aerospace Engr. at Caltech. He received a BS in Aero. Engr. at Georgia Tech and a PhD in Mech. & Aero. Engr. from Princeton. Dr. Polk is an expert in high-current cathode physics\, EP wear processes\, high power EP\, and probabilistic methods to analyze engine life. He was the task manager for an 8200 hour wear test of a 2.3 kW ion engine as used on the Deep Space 1 mission\, was a co-investigator in the Next Generation Ion Propulsion Program and principal investigator of the Nuclear Electric Xenon Ion System program. From 1997 to 2001 he was supervisor of the Advanced Propulsion Group at JPL. He now manages JPL’s high power EP tasks and is the Deputy Ion Propulsion System Lead for the Advanced EP System for the Lunar Gateway. He has authored over 100 papers and has received 7 best paper awards at the Intl. EP Conference and the Joint Propulsion Conference.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

How do we collectively locate\, nurture\, and advance students who will become our colleagues regardless of opportunities they may or may not have had as they began their studies? There is good evidence that strategies used to attract us into the field are missing large numbers of capable and eager students.

How has the absurd shaped Oshagan’s works over time? How has it influenced his paradoxical and provocative reappropriation of myth as a mode of witnessing the tragically absurd human existence? Dr. Jallatyan will elaborate on the problematic of the absurd (meaninglessness) as being inspired by a post-World War II European preoccupation with existentialism. By tracing the transformations of these configurations in Oshagan’s meta-historiographic and meta-allegorical works from the 1970s and 1980s\, Dr. Jallatyan will pay special attention to how the problematic of the absurd shaped Oshagan’s poetics and conception of language. The lecture will conclude with a discussion on decisive and singular features of Oshagan’s dynamic mode of negotiating difference for a diasporic culture. \n\nKaren Jallatyan received his PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of California\, Irvine in 2019. His dissertation\, entitled “Becoming Diaspora: Global Armenian Literature and Film after 1950\,” draws attention to the specifically post-national and post-catastrophic nature of diasporic Armenian culture in Western Armenian. It argues that finding ways to let Western Armenian language and literature thrive in a multicultural context is the only adequate response to the needs of this surviving culture.\n\nImage: Cover of Crossroads («Քառուղի»)\, Vahé Oshagan\, Beirut\, 1971.

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

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:58562-15784162@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:63803-15884164@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:68063-16988471@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:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. 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.

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

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.

In response to letters from a Black neuroscience major and a non-binary biochemistry and biophysics major\, every STEM department wrote a letter of support\, pledging to work with students to address their concerns. The following semester\, Chemistry professor Sheila Jaswal collaborated with students to develop a project-based course\, titled “Being Human in STEM” (HSTEM)\, to actively engage STEM students and departments in learning about and enhancing inclusion in STEM settings. Now in its sixth iteration\, students drive the academic inquiry\, investigating both the local experience and the literature on diversity in STEM. They then use that research to design tools and interventions to share with and enhance their own STEM community.  In this seminar\, Professor Jaswal will describe how HSTEM course projects and activities have continued the conversation started by students during the Uprising\, connected STEM inclusion efforts across the Amherst campus\, and produced resources such as the “Inclusive Curricular Practices” handbook\, that have been used by STEM educators from high schools\, colleges\, universities\, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Inclusive Excellence institutions. She will present evidence on the impact of the HSTEM course and practices on students\, faculty and staff at Amherst\, and provide examples of how a growing network of institutions\, including Yale\, Brown\, Williams\, and the University of Utah\, are adapting the HSTEM model to their own STEM community needs. \n\nPlease visit website for more information on speaker: http://www.beinghumaninstem.com/sheila-jaswal.html UID:69259-17275351@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Astronomy,Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biophysics,Biophysics Program,Biosciences,Chemistry,Complex Systems,Diversity,Diversity Equity And Inclusion,Ecology,Life Science,Mathematics,Mechanical Engineering,Natural Sciences,Pharmacy,Physics,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Science LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheater -4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191223T132827 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Celebrating MLK DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr’s birthday\, the Grosse Ile Quartet presents a program in honor of his life and legacy.

Against the background of long-term economic downturn\, growing social precarity\, and nuclear anxiety\, Abe’s recently published book investigates how this seemingly outdated means of advertisement has recently gained traction as an aesthetic\, economic\, and political practice after decades of inactivity. Drawing on the book\, this presentation will address the central analytic hibiki (resonance)\, which highlights the processes in which chindon-ya’s sound is designed to elicit an affective response from a listener who simply “overhears” chindon-ya in public spaces.\n \nMarié Abe is Associate Professor of Music in the Department of Musicology and Ethnomusicology at Boston University. Broadly speaking\, her scholarship explores the intersection of sound\, space\, and sociality\, bridging sound studies and cultural human geography. Her recent projects examine the politics of sound in social movements\, in the contexts of anti-US military movements in Okinawa and post-3.11 Japan\, as well as the musical and historical affinity between Japan and Ethiopia in the 20th century.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Then if you get stuck on something\, you can just stop by the German Lab alcove so we can get you unstuck.

Their growth paralleled the rise of the office worker\, women’s evolving roles in the work force\, immigration\, American love of efficiency and novelty\, the growth of cities\, the impact of Prohibition and the Depression\, the labor movement\, and American eating habits. Not one cafeteria from that era remains in New York City today. One particular restaurant\, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn\, was a legendary institution that served as a second home for many of the neighborhood’s elderly residents. Along with another Dubrow’s\, a hub of the Garment Center\, they provided a restaurant cum social club or “third place” for a generation of Jewish New Yorkers.\nNew York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days\, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.
