In the years immediately preceding the dam\u2019s construction, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \r\n\r\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or \u201cOld Nubia\u201d the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time, space, and circumstance. \r\n\r\nThis selection of photographs includes persons, places, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\r\n\r\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll, assistant professor of anthropology, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid, doctoral student in anthropology, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\r\n\r\nFor a deeper dive, visit the companion exhibit, Narrating Nubia, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological, anthropological, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"113643-21831369@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/113643", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"Gallery, 1st Floor", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Free","Anthropology","Library","History"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" }, { "group_name":"Department of Anthropology", "group_id":"3469", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/anthro" }, { "group_name":"Museum of Anthropological Archaeology", "group_id":"3760", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_113643_original-2.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":67, "first_occurrence":21831308 } , "114010-21832108": { "datetime_modified":"20231016T095224", "datetime_start":"20231211T090000", "datetime_end":"20231211T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2023-12-11", "date_end":"2023-12-11", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"(DE) CONSTRUCTED EXHIBITION BY NOUR BALLOUT", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"(DE) CONSTRUCTED EXHIBITION BY NOUR BALLOUT: Nour Ballout", "event_subtitle":"Nour Ballout", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Gallery Hours: Mon-Friday, 9 am- 5pm, or by appointment: serrag@med.umich.edu\r\n\r\nNour Ballout (b. 1993, Beirut) is a Detroit & Chicago based interdisciplinary artist and curator.

Through collaborations with her immediate community, and also using herself as a subject, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\r\n\r\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University\u2019s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\r\n\r\nIn Lee\u2019s photographic exploration, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. \u201cHolding Places\u201d is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\r\n\r\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were, but how she experienced them, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\r\n\r\nThrough Lee\u2019s lens, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish, conflict and distress have left their imprints, sometimes visible, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).", "occurrence_notes":"Gallery Hours Mon-Fri 9 am to 5 pm or by appointment: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"114012-21832180@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/114012", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Connections Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Visual Arts","LGBT","Humanities","Graduate Students","Exhibition","Diversity Equity and Inclusion","Diversity","Art","African American"], "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/art\/holding-places", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2023\/10\/event_114012_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":42, "first_occurrence":21832145 } }
