The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by F\u00e9lix Zamora G\u00f3mez Irving Stenn, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\u00a0", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"107870-21818016@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/107870", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","Exhibition","Free","Humanities","Museum","Staff","UMMA"], "website":"https:\/\/umma.umich.edu\/exhibitions\/2023\/a-gathering", "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\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":423, "first_occurrence":21817716 } , "128174-21860390": { "datetime_modified":"20241023T110406", "datetime_start":"20250117T100000", "datetime_end":"20250117T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-01-17", "date_end":"2025-01-17", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Bookworm #75 - Author Conversation with Robin Bernstein \"Freeman\u2019s Challenge: The Murder That Shook America\u2019s Original Prison for Profit\"", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Bookworm #75 - Author Conversation with Robin Bernstein \"Freeman\u2019s Challenge: The Murder That Shook America\u2019s Original Prison for Profit\"", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Contrary to popular belief, prison for profit originated in the North, not the South, long before the Civil War and the passage of the 13th\u00a0Amendment to the US Constitution (which outlawed involuntary servitude \"except as a punishment for crime\").
