In the wake of the international order\u2019s dismantling and the ruinous acceleration of techno-capitalism, social discontent has been channeled into extreme nationalisms that promise a \u2018homecoming\u2019 at the expense of outsiders, immigrants, refugees. Adding to these woes, intellectual efforts to challenge the \u2018dogmatic images\u2019 of thinking that have ruled by elevating particular epistemologies to the level of \u2018global thought,\u2019 are being increasingly stymied by capitulant institutions. Yet, it is precisely in such precarious times that cross-cultural thinking seems more necessary than ever, not least as an antidote to the ongoing segregation of knowledges and thought-systems currently underway.\n \t\nThis conference is part of a series of events organized under the Geophilosophies initiative. As a project Geophilosophies not only calls attention to thought-systems that continue to be erased, discredited, or ignored by dominant cultures, but more importantly, encourages the kind of deep conceptual encounter between different traditions of thought with the capacity to effect real psychic, social and ecological change. We define cross-cultural thinking as the kind of engagement that strives for maximum communication, unlike the concept of \u2018border crossing\u2019 which we see as a vestige of nation-state sovereignty. Thus defined, cross-cultural thinking is transversal and ecosophical by nature, inasmuch as it strives for modes of thinking grounded in lived practices and experiences that effortlessly bring incompatible concepts and entities into new associations characterized by their mutual self-transformation. On this note, we invite presentations that re-examine unexplored avenues in cross-cultural philosophical thinking, aiming to repair fractured connections between self, society and world amid today\u2019s global turmoil. We are particularly interested in experimental methodologies that explore: (i) the nature of contact zones between concepts, praxes, and worldviews; (ii) the co-imbrication of one\u2019s subjectivity in cross-cultural encounters. We encourage risk-taking, for example, by resisting the kind of knowledge specializations that may prevent genuine engagement between differences and that work through two or more traditions of thought to create an \u2018in-between\u2019 idiom that is at home in its homelessness.\n \nPursued in collaboration with the Uberoi Foundation, an organization that is dedicated to cross-cultural exchange and expanding awareness of diverse traditions, this conference promises to break new ground in the development of ways of thinking that simultaneously draw upon ancient human wisdoms while also being informed by the urgency of the present global moment, bringing a diasporic consciousness to a world seduced by the alluring false comfort of restrictive nationalisms.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148503-21904381@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148503", "building_id":"1000172", "building_name":"Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)", "campus_maps_id":"71", "room":"Assembly Room", "location_name":"Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Asian Languages And Cultures","conference","Philosophy","Workshop"], "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/asian", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Asian Languages and Cultures", "group_id":"3364", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/asian" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_148503_original-2.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21904381 } , "149975-21907485": { "datetime_modified":"20260806T162236", "datetime_start":"20260924T080000", "datetime_end":"20260924T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-24", "date_end":"2026-09-24", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"WCEE Exhibition.

He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons, these paintings, along with his later nonconformist work, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars, the 1917 revolution, and political terror, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable, neglected, and marginalized people: children, the elderly, ethnic minorities, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances, Lembersky portrayed his subjects with empathy, dignity, and admiration. \n\n\u201cFor my father, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom, individuality, and personalized creativity, without which it ceased to be art.\u201d\n\u2014 Galina Lembersky, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky, and Genevi\u00e8ve Zubrzycki, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them, name potential barriers to intervention, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop, or are in need of an exemption, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this\u00a0form.

Studios, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator, MFA \u201920) and Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920); and Sometimes Space, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I, MFA \u201921). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions, performances, and events, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project, Byrne, Clegg, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response, they\u2019ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA \u201923) and Erin McKenna (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA \u201920) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920) and Nathan Byrne (MFA \u201921)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements\/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie, typically used to hang and bind other material, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell, to slow down, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist, designer, and educator who works across sculpture, installation, sound, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry, exploring themes of labor, precarity, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS\/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology, Science Gallery Detroit, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia, New Media Caucus (NMC), WaveFarm, The Boulder Public Library, The Hyde Park Art Center, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI), International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA), among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website \/ Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image \/ object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist\u2019s interest in embodied experience of space, archival and site responsiveness, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist \/ educator \/ curator currently based in Detroit, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects, he reimagines, and explores within frameworks such as language, the passage of time, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal, transformative, and emotive states through materiality, process, and placement, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer\u2019s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center, I-Park, KHN Center for the Arts, Prairie Ronde, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program, and Rockland Woods.

As an important medium through which kin-based, territorial, and cosmological rights and responsibilities continue to be expressed, rivers connect ancestral Ainu lifeways with visions of an Indigenous future. In their struggles for Indigenous rights today, Ainu activists continue to focus on rivers as the central locus of Ainu sovereignty and the origin from which Ainu cultural and territorial rights emerge, envisioning and enacting futures of flourishing and abundance that are rooted in ancestral relationships to their native lands and waters and the more-than-human beings who inhabit them. In so doing, they insist upon a future for the Ainu as an Indigenous people, challenging Japan\u2019s ongoing settler-colonial structure of Ainu dispossession and elimination.\n\nDr. Michael J. Ioannides is a teaching postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. He received his Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from the University of California Santa Barbara, in June 2026, with an interdisciplinary emphasis on environment and society.

Born and raised in Jamaica, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte\u2019s artistic practice: the archive, both personal and public, as a site of disturbance; and migration as a lived experience of refuge, refusal, and reinvention. In Whyte\u2019s work, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory, inheritance, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity, Whyte\u2019s work offers a timely meditation on memory, movement, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the U-M Library.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149541-21906603@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149541", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Stamps Gallery, 201 South Division Street Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art"], "website":"https:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/events\/cosmo-whyte-under-the-quiet-beyond-the-eye", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149541_original-2.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":67, "first_occurrence":21906594 } , "150404-21909173": { "datetime_modified":"20260818T105835", "datetime_start":"20260924T120000", "datetime_end":"20260924T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-24", "date_end":"2026-09-24", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Jeongbin Park (Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics)", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Jeongbin Park (Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics): \u201cHierarchical inference of spatial tissue niches and cellular composition using linked variational autoencoders\u201d", "event_subtitle":"\u201cHierarchical inference of spatial tissue niches and cellular composition using linked variational autoencoders\u201d", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"About the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1), Room 4B700, each Thursday at 12pm EST.
