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":"107870-21818023@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":["Museum","Art","Staff","UMMA","Exhibition","Free","Humanities"], "website":"https:\/\/www.instagram.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\/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 } , "129114-21862246": { "datetime_modified":"20250116T121510", "datetime_start":"20250125T110000", "datetime_end":"20250125T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-01-25", "date_end":"2025-01-25", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Impossible Conversations", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Impossible Conversations", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Impossible Conversations is an exhibition and film installation by artists and filmmakers, Prat\u0101p Rughani and David Chung. The film centers a seemingly impossible dialogue between Arno Michaelis, a former Neo-Nazi gang founder and Pardeep Kaleka, son of the Sikh Temple President, Satwant Singh Kaleka, one of seven people killed in the shooting attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) by a white supremacist in 2012. \n \nThe film installation explores what happens when \u2013 for over a decade \u2013 Pardeep and Arno committed to a path of restorative communication - to listen deeply and connect with what motivates each other in the genesis and aftermath of atrocity.\nHow does healing begin? From the toxic polarization, division and extreme racist violence that resulted in one of the worst mass shootings at a religious site in American history, Pardeep insists that complete healing must eventually be a collective process for all, to liberate both sides.\nAt Stamps Gallery, Impossible Conversations will be accompanied by a dialogue and research room as well as photomurals that expand on the themes of restorative justice, gun violence, and how to sustain difficult dialogues to combat extremism and toxic polarization. \nExhibition curated by Srimoyee Mitra. Impossible Conversations has been supported in part by the Arts Research: Incubation & Acceleration (ARIA) program of The University of Michigan Office of the Vice President Research and the Arts Initiative, Institute of Firearm Prevention Pilot Grant, the Stamps School of Art and Design, and the University of the Arts London. \nExhibition Programs\nAn Opening Screening, Talkback, and Reception will take place on Friday, January 17, 2025 from 5:30 \u2013 8 p.m., and a Symposium will take place on Saturday, January 18, 2025 from 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. \nAbout the Artists\nPrat\u0101p Rughani is a writer and non-fiction filmmaker. His work develops documentary practice to enable people of radically different perspectives come into relation, sometimes in the aftermath of violence and atrocity for example in South Africa, Aboriginal Australia, Europe, Rwanda and the USA. Configuring a pro-filmic space to enable shared \u201cwitnessing\u201d and the path towards restorative justice is a driving force in \u201cImpossible Conversations\u201d evolving through his practice in over thirty documentary films and exhibitions for BBC TV, Channel 4, Modern Art Oxford, galleries and activist groups. The ethics of giving sustained attention to the experiences of marginalized, excluded or sometimes reviled \u201cothers\u201d and bringing them in relationship to the broader culture is central to his research into ethics of storytelling and the development of \u201cRestorative Narrative.\u201d\nRughani writes widely on the ethics of creative practice, serves on several editorial Boards, has won awards for film, teaching, and research, and is Professor of Documentary Practices at the University of the Arts, London.\nDavid Chung is an acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker. His work focuses on how identities are shaped in immigrant communities and the challenges of refugees as they integrate into new homelands.\nChung has exhibited his drawings, prints, and video installations at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Asia Society, the Walker Arts Center, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Gwangju Biennale, the Smithsonian Institution, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Chung has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the National Board Film Board of Canada's Award for Best Documentary Film. He was the 2013 Kim Koo Visiting Professor at Harvard University. \nChung is a professor and the director of the MFA Graduate Program at the University of Michigan Penny W.
