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":"113643-21831359@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":["Anthropology","Free","History","Library"], "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 } , "114010-21832098": { "datetime_modified":"20231016T095224", "datetime_start":"20231201T090000", "datetime_end":"20231201T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2023-12-01", "date_end":"2023-12-01", "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.

Moving research off the page can take a variety of forms, but always requires careful curation. In this two-day workshop, graduate student and faculty scholars will gain an understanding of the requirements of curation, of the relationship between curation and creation, and of the research potentials opened through collaboration.\r\n\r\nCurating Scholarship will be led by Institute for the Humanities Curator Amanda Krugliak, who will address conceptual questions of importance such as visual choices, context, display, and organizational styles. Logistical factors to be covered include planning, strategies, collaborative possibilities, and generating interest and support. Guest presenters will discuss their experience translating research and into exhibition format. \r\n\r\nAfter the workshop, each participant will have the opportunity to meet with the curator for a 30-minute one-on-one session to discuss the exhibition potential of their own work.\r\n\r\nEligibility\r\n\r\nCurrently enrolled PhD students that have reached candidacy level as of September 1, 2023.\r\nFaculty with an active appointment on any U-M campus as of September 1, 2023.
