        "description":"Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration, political exile, queerness, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus\u2014which often include live animals, props, even her parents\u2014are then photographed, documenting the artist\u2019s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani\u2019s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family\u2019s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani\u2019s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

        "description":"Lynn Galbreath, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists\u2019 Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath\u2019s work has been showcased locally, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo\/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\r\n\r\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art, Art History, & Design, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art, Western MI University, Kalamazoo, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive, immersive art experiences to Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies, University of Detroit Mercy \u2014 School of Architecture, Macomb Community College, Wayne State University, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University, Wayne State University, Detroit Receiving Hospital, Children\u2019s Hospital of Michigan, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\r\n\r\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph, Storyboard, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes, techniques, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath\u2019s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\r\n\r\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes, colors, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size, showcasing Galbreath\u2019s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\r\n\r\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products, including Farm Market Managers, Fishmongers, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals, often operating within informal economies, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low, inconsistent incomes, long hours, and sometimes exploitative conditions, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.",

        "description":"View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\r\n\r\nHowever, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects\u2019 oft-overlooked material dimensions, asking us to consider how qualities like color, texture, and weight shaped an object\u2019s perceived efficacy and meaning. \r\n\r\nThis exhibit was a collaboration, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library\u2019s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection, the Museum of Natural History, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub, PhD Candidate, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\r\n\r\nAnna Bonnell Freidin, U-M associate professor of history, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142418) on January 16.",

        "description":"This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford\u2019s work in Detroit, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit\u2019s transformation, capturing humanity\u2019s impact on the environment alongside nature\u2019s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\r\n\r\nSwafford\u2019s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions, including light, shadow, and atmosphere, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene, along with his wet-on-wet technique, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit\u2019s landscape, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\r\n\r\nIn addition to these works, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice\u2014an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function\u2014creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects\u2014demonstrates Swafford\u2019s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\r\n\r\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, and while at RISD, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago, Kansas City, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.",

        "description":"In-person and virtual registration: http:\/\/myumi.ch\/61n9J\n\nJoin us April 9-11, 2026, for Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project, the University of Michigan, and the Western Expansion of the United States. This hybrid conference will explore the role of treaties in the development of both the University of Michigan and the state of Michigan, while considering how their effects continue to resonate locally, regionally, and nationally today for an Indigenous present and future.\n\nThe conference will bring together members of Anishinaabe Tribal communities; U-M faculty, staff, and students; K-12 educators; scholars; tribal historians; and community activists for roundtable discussions, panels, and workshops that aim to inform and connect with non-specialist audiences.\n\nConference sessions will focus on key themes that include the role of treaties in the founding and development of the University of Michigan, such as the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs; the ongoing impact of 19th-century treaty agreements on tribal communities in the region; and the ways in which these treaties continue to shape contemporary Native activism and legal efforts. Discussions will also explore the broader histories of colonization and Indigenous dispossession across what is now the state of Michigan and the Midwest region of the U.S, with an eye to how local and regional histories provide valuable insights into broader national patterns.\n\nThe conference is free and open to all, and will be livestreamed and recorded. Registration is encouraged but not required. We will send out reminder emails and event updates when you register.\n\nThe Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project, the University of Michigan, and the Western Expansion of the United States Conference is part of The 1817 Project: Land, Culture, Memory, and Repair, one of the major research initiatives of the University of Michigan\u2019s Inclusive History Project. Led by Eric Hemenway, Bethany Hughes, and Michael Witgen, The 1817 Project is a multi-disciplinary examination of the foundational land transfer by the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Boodewaadamii nations in the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs (also known as the Treaty of the Maumee Rapids), which was part of the University of Michigan\u2019s 1817 origins in Detroit and subsequent relocation to Ann Arbor, as well the university\u2019s ongoing connections to Indigenous land and contemporary issues of Native American student experience. Learn more about The 1817 Project at https:\/\/inclusivehistory.umich.edu\/project-site\/the-1817-project\/.\n\nThe Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project, the University of Michigan, and the Western Expansion of the United States Conference is presented by the Inclusive History Project in partnership with the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies (EIHS) and with the support of the Bentley Historical Library, Clements Library, the Department of American Culture, the Department of History, the Marsal Family School of Education, the Native American Student Association, the Native American Studies Program, Rackham Graduate School, Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).\n\nFor questions or more information, contact inclusivehistory@umich.edu.\n\n--\n\nSchedule & Panel Descriptions\n\nDay 1\nThursday, April 9, 2026, Pendleton Room, Michigan Union\n\nWelcome & Keynote Roundtable\n5:30pm \u2013 8:30pm\n\nWhat Does it Mean to Live with Treaties? A Roundtable on Indigenous History\n\nThis keynote roundtable will bring together several renowned Indigenous scholars with expertise in Indigenous and U.S. history, as well as in tribal, federal, and constitutional law. Together, they will reflect on the past, present, and future of Indigenous History, including the fundamental issue of treaties and their downstream effects into the present. A central theme of this session is: where did Indigenous history start from, where is it going, and what challenges and obstacles remain within the field? The panel will also consider the more specific question of treaties, land, and dispossession within a broader, comparative framework that builds upon recent studies of \u201cland grab\u201d politics across U.S. history as a whole. Additionally, the speakers will reflect on a second theme central to their scholarship: that U.S. history cannot be understood without recognizing the central role of Indigenous histories and experiences.\n\n5:30 \u2013 6:30pm: Reception with light fare with the panelists.\n6:30 \u2013 7:00pm: Conference Opening with Emcee Bethany Hughes and Welcome Song shared by Stick City, U-M\u2019s Native American Student Association\u2019s Drum Group.\n7:00 \u2013 8:30pm: Opening Remarks by U-M President Grasso and former EIHS Director John Carson followed by the keynote roundtable, and public Q&A.\n\nAll events are open to the public. This roundtable is made possible through the partnership of the IHP-1817 Project and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies, who are co-sponsoring this event as part of their annual lecture series.\n\nSpeakers: Maggie Blackhawk, Ned Blackhawk, Matthew Fletcher, Michael Witgen\n\nModerator: Greg Dowd\n\n--\nDay 2\nFriday, April 10, 2026, Kuenzel Room, Michigan Union\n\nDay 2 Welcome & Session 1\n9:15am \u2013 11:00am\n\nWhy Study Michigan Now? Situating the University of Michigan and the Great Lakes Region in the Broader Histories of Native American Dispossession, Removal, \u201cLand Grab\u201d Politics, and U.S. Higher Education\n\nThis panel takes as a starting point the founding moment represented by the land transfer to U-M in Article 16 of the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs, but widens the scope of inquiry to include subsequent treaties and land transfer schemes that facilitated the development of the University and the state of Michigan. This panel will present the \u201creceipts,\u201d to visually represent the transfer of wealth from Native people to the citizens of the state of Michigan.\n\nThis panel will demonstrate that the histories of U-M, the state of Michigan, and the broader Great Lakes region are crucial contexts for understanding the broader histories of dispossession, removal, land grab politics, and the development of American higher education. Discussion of the 1817 Project, including an explanation of its origins and a showcase of its ongoing work, will illustrate how the project is addressing fundamental questions of U.S. history.\n\nSpeakers: Jay Cook, Michael Witgen, Jonathan Quint, Gabrielle Ione Hickmon\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 2\n11:15am \u2013 12:30pm\n\nUniversities and Indigenous Dispossession\n\nThis panel will explore the deep links between colonization, Indigenous dispossession, and the growth of colleges and universities in the United States. While the 1862 Morrill Land Grant College Act is often cited as a pivotal moment in the history of American higher education, centering the narrative on the mid-nineteenth century risks obscuring the broader role that Indigenous land played in underwriting American colleges and universities. Long before the Morrill Act, institutions such as the University of Michigan relied on land appropriated through treaties to finance operations, expand campuses, and diversify educational opportunities for students. At the same time, public domain land was being used for internal improvements, with universities serving as part of this larger project of development. The Morrill Act extended and formalized these practices, redistributing millions of acres of Indigenous land to fund the expansion of higher education across the United States. By bringing the pre- and post-Morrill Act eras into conversation, this panel will show how Indigenous land has remained a foundational resource for American higher education from its beginnings through the present.\n\nSpeakers: Mary Shi, Jon Parmenter, Alyssa Mt. Pleasant\n\nChair: Ned Blackhawk\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 3\n1:30pm \u2013 2:45pm\n\nHow to Read A Treaty: Legal Battles and the Continuing Impact of U.S.-Anishinaabeg Treaties\n\nThis panel will demonstrate how important Michigan-area treaties such as the 1836 Washington Treaty and 1855 Treaty of Detroit continue to shape the lives of the Anishinaabe people of the state, and how their meaning and enforcement remain subjects of legal challenges and political activism. To show the continuing impact of treaties, and the ways in which they serve as foundational documents of Anishinaabeg-U.S. political and legal relations, our speakers will draw from their experience as legal scholars, jurists, litigators, and expert witnesses. Collectively, they will discuss cases such as Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa v. Whitmer, which considered whether the 1855 Treaty of Detroit created a reservation for the LTBB Odawa in northern Michigan, as well as current litigation on the Line 5 Pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac and the broader historical contexts of these cases.\n\nSpeakers: Matthew Fletcher, Riyaz Kanji, James McClurken\n\nChair: Maggie Blackhawk\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 4\n3:00pm \u2013 4:15pm\n\nOn the Hidden Histories of Public Domain Land\n\nThis panel will explore the creation of public lands in the Michigan Territory and state through the multiple treaties negotiated by the federal government with the Indigenous peoples of Michigan. Historically, federal officials pressured tribes in Michigan to agree to the extinction of Native title to their lands, even when there was no immediate demand for those lands. This meant not only that tribes were deprived of a valuable asset, but also that this asset was able to appreciate in value until such time as it was sold by the state. In order to convince Native peoples to sign these treaties, the 1836 Washington and 1855 Detroit treaties guaranteed Native peoples the right to hunt, fish, and harvest on ceded territory not yet converted into private property. Reinforcing the enduring relevance of treaties across time, this panel will focus on the protests, activism, and legal battles that have emerged over Indigenous resource rights in Michigan, all of which revolve around differing interpretations of land and treaties. The panel will center the experiences and insights of community members who participated in these events.\n\nSpeakers: Mae Wright, Emily Proctor\n\nChair: Eric Hemenway\n\n--\nDay 3\nSaturday, April 11, 2026, Forum Hall, 4th Floor, Palmer Commons\n\nDay 3 Welcome & Session 5\n9:00am \u2013 10:30am\n\nHow to Think About the Origins of Indian Removal Politics From a Great Lakes Perspective\n\nThis panel will highlight how two Michigan Anishinaabe communities, the Pokagon Band of Boodewaadamii and the Burt Lake Band of Odawa and Ojibwe Indians, had different experiences with removal and federal recognition, shaping their distinct paths and histories. It will combine historical analysis of the development of various nineteenth-century land companies and land transfer schemes with presentations by community representatives who can discuss the resistance of their communities to Indian Removal, as well as how they have fought or are still fighting to have their sovereignty and territory recognized by the federal government. This panel will discuss the shifting understandings and contexts of Indian Removal, focusing on examples from Michigan and the broader Great Lakes Basin, such as encroachment from settler colonists, forced migration by military forces, and Indian Boarding schools, that illuminate nationally significant aspects of Indian Removal policy.\n\nSpeakers: Wenona T. Singel, Blaire Morseau-Topache\n\nChair: Michael Witgen\n\n--\nDay 3 Session 6\n10:45am \u2013 12:00pm\n\nTeaching Native American and Treaty History in K-12 Classrooms\n\nThis panel brings together educators from public schools and library professionals to share their experiences and insights on teaching Native American history in a range of educational settings. Panelists will discuss best practices for engaging students, building inclusive curricula and lesson plans, and addressing the gaps and challenges that persist in public education. Drawing on their experience teaching Native American history, they will reflect on what has proven most effective, what barriers remain, and how educators can collaborate to move this work forward.\n\nSpeakers: Joe Erdmann, Kara Johnson, Annemarie Conway\n\nChair: Eric Hemenway\n\n--\nDay 3 Conference Wrap-up with Closing Remarks by Dr. Michael Witgen\n12:00 \u2013 12:15pm\n\n--\nDay 3 Living with Treaties Community Connections Forum\n12:00pm \u2013 3:00pm\n\nEqual parts resource fair, poster session, and tabling event, the Community Connections Forum will serve as a platform for fostering connections among attendees, the 1817 Project, U-M campus partners, and student organizations connected to the themes of the conference.\n\nDJ set by Sicangu Lakota multi-genre music artist, educator, and storyteller Frank Waln.\n\n--\nDay 3 Concurrent Breakout Workshops for K-12 Educators*\n1:15pm \u2013 2:45pm\n\nTeaching Native American and Treaty History in Public Classrooms\n\nThis session will consist of teaching workshops designed for K-12 educators, with two separate workshops targeted for elementary, junior, and high school level instructors. The workshops will include short preparatory presentations on subjects relevant to the conference, such as treaties or public domain land, with accompanying guidance on how to teach the subject matter. K-12 instructor participants will receive pre-prepared instructional materials at the start of the workshop, with additional materials provided at the conclusion.\n\nFacilitators: Eric Hemenway, Jared Aumen, Madeline McShannock, Joy Kooyer, Jack Stearns",
