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":"142417-21890883@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","Free","Library"], "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 } , "146483-21899173": { "datetime_modified":"20260311T181512", "datetime_start":"20260311T090000", "datetime_end":"20260311T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-03-11", "date_end":"2026-03-11", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Metamorphosis: Clay in Flux", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Metamorphosis: Clay in Flux", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"\n\nMetamorphosis: Clay in Flux is an exhibition celebrating the creative potential of student ceramics, designed to correspond with the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference in Detroit, and the surrounding ceramics events in Southeast Michigan.\n\nThis exhibition is organized and juried by members of the Stamps Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC) and will be on display in the Art & Architecture Building\u2019s Street Gallery from March 11- 25, 2026.
