Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don\u2019t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.\u00a0\u00a0\n \nIn this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum\u2019s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you\u2019ll be able to experience the changes we\u2019re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.\u00a0\n \nBy challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.\u00a0\n \n\u201cInvisible things are not necessarily \u2018not there\u2019.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.\u201d\u00a0\n \n\u2014 Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism\u00a0is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost,\u00a0the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n\u00a0", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"84303-21621253@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/84303", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"European and American Decorative Art", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","UMMA","Museum","History","Exhibition","European"], "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ummamuseum\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/08\/event_84303_original-5.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":470, "first_occurrence":21621195 } , "120795-21845306": { "datetime_modified":"20240327T111334", "datetime_start":"20240406T110000", "datetime_end":"20240406T140000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-04-06", "date_end":"2024-04-06", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"14:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Walking Her Path, Participatory Sound Walk for XR\/XF", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Walking Her Path, Participatory Sound Walk for XR\/XF: Zeynep Ozcan", "event_subtitle":"Zeynep Ozcan", "event_type":"Other", "event_type_id":"22", "description":"RSVP Here: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3IWxM5m\r\n\r\nWalking Her Path is a public soundwalk experience. Participants will engage in the exploration of their sonic environment, with a focus on listening from a perspectives shaped by the experiences of womanhood and gender dynamics. This activity involves walking, listening and recording, serving as an intentional exercise in auditory examination. During the soundwalk, participants will be invited to actively listen to both the cacophony and the subtleties of everyday life through a feminist lens. They will be prompted to tune into sounds that may symbolize the experiences of womanhood, empowerment, or oppression. For example, the sound of footsteps might symbolize independence and determination, whereas the noise from construction sites or the abrupt blare of car horns might be seen as symbolic of societal interruptions or aggressive intrusions. Attendees will be equipped with handheld field recorders and encouraged to capture sounds that resonate with them personally. Moreover, participants will be encouraged to provide narrations during the soundwalk, articulating their reasons for selecting particular sounds and what those sounds represent to them.\r\n\r\nThis event is part of a greater series called, \"XRXF: Extended Realities, Extended Feminisms.\" Learn more here: https:\/\/xrxf.net\/.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"120795-21845306@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/120795", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"Shipping Container outside Burton Tower", "location_name":"230 N Ingalls St Ann Arbor, MI 48104", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Xrxf","Social Justice","performance","Interdisciplinary","In Person","Gender","Food","Feminism","Extended Reality","Digital Studies Institute","Digital Studies"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Digital Studies Institute", "group_id":"4337", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/03\/event_120795_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21845306 } , "108577-21843372": { "datetime_modified":"20240405T194239", "datetime_start":"20240406T113000", "datetime_end":"20240406T121500", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-04-06", "date_end":"2024-04-06", "time_start":"11:30:00", "time_end":"12:15:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"We Are Stars", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"We Are Stars: Planetarium & Dome Theater", "event_subtitle":"Planetarium & Dome Theater", "event_type":"Presentation", "event_type_id":"16", "description":"What are we made of?
