Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con\/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador, Bahia, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists, families, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity, community memory, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\r\n\r\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by Jo\u00e3o Francisco Borges, Nilo dos Santos, Givanildo Francisco da Silva, and Jos\u00e9 Miguel da Silva, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*\u2014popular printed booklets that combine social commentary, folklore, poetry, and song.\r\n\r\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https:\/\/myumi.ch\/61G23.\r\n\r\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143613-21893502@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143613", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "campus_maps_id":"47", "room":"International Institute Gallery, Room 547", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["brazil","Visual Arts","Afro-brazilian Studies","Area Studies","Art","Center For Latin American And Caribbean Studies","Exhibition"], "website":"https:\/\/myumi.ch\/61G23", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies", "group_id":"3274", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu\/lacs" }, { "group_name":"International Institute", "group_id":"1968", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143613_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":25, "first_occurrence":21893496 } , "142417-21890852": { "datetime_modified":"20251212T105136", "datetime_start":"20260208T090000", "datetime_end":"20260208T200000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-02-08", "date_end":"2026-02-08", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"20:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "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.", "occurrence_notes":"Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room, 1st Floor", "guid":"142417-21890852@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142417", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Archaeology","Library","Free"], "website":"https:\/\/www.lib.umich.edu\/events", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142417_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":112, "first_occurrence":21890822 } }
