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":"84303-21621567@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","European","Exhibition","History","Museum","UMMA"], "website":"https:\/\/umma.umich.edu\/exhibitions\/2021\/unsettling-histories-legacies-of-slavery-and-colonialism", "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 } , "134668-21874695": { "datetime_modified":"20250403T181620", "datetime_start":"20250411T110000", "datetime_end":"20250411T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-04-11", "date_end":"2025-04-11", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"8-BIT Music Exhibit: The Gallery", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"8-BIT Music Exhibit: The Gallery: The Gallery, Main Event of the 8-Bit Music Exhibit", "event_subtitle":"The Gallery, Main Event of the 8-Bit Music Exhibit", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"MORE INFO: https:\/\/sites.lsa.umich.edu\/8bitmusic\/ \r\n\r\nThe 8-Bit Music Exhibit is a week-long exploration of the creation of the nostalgic, retro tunes many have grown up with and come to love, as well as a showcase of how such music has been reclaimed and repurposed for continued existence in the modern world. The gallery plans to guide viewers through a history of 8-bit music, its significance to media and video games of its time, and notable figures that influenced the legacy of the niched genre. In the workshop, participants will learn how modern chiptune artists create music from Game Boys and the production software LSDJ, and have the opportunity to create music of their own design. Throughout the end of the exhibit week, we will celebrate the historic and modern legacies of 8-bit music in a set of live performances produced by Norah, a seasoned chiptune artist.\r\n\r\nOur goal in developing this exhibit is to highlight 8-bit\/chiptune music as a unique form of digital art celebrated for its sound, cultural significance, and innovation. Throughout the lifespans of the original hardware supporting this music, artists often faced limitations due to hardware constraints. These difficulties led to early video game industry composers inventing new techniques and methods for music creation that have evolved over time and remain influential today.\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU to our co-sponsors and partners for your support in the creation of this event!\r\n-> U-M LSA Technology Services Digital Scholarship (https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/technology-services\/services\/research-tools\/digital-scholarship.html)\r\n-> U-M Digital Studies Institute (https:\/\/www.digitalstudies.umich.edu\/)\r\n-> U-M Arts Initiative (https:\/\/arts.umich.edu\/arts-initiative)\r\n-> Neutral Zone (https:\/\/www.neutral-zone.org\/event-list\/2025\/4\/11\/free-tech-workshop-chiptune-8-bit)\r\n-> Ann Arbor District Libraries (https:\/\/aadl.org\/)\r\n-> Ypsilanti District Libraries (https:\/\/www.ypsilibrary.org\/)\r\n-> Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor (https:\/\/www.pinballpetes.org\/copy-of-east-lansing-location)\r\n-> Video Game Music Club (VGMC) (https:\/\/maizepages.umich.edu\/organization\/vgmc)\r\n-> WolvSec (https:\/\/wolvsec.org\/)\r\n-> LGBTQ+ Michigan (https:\/\/websites.umich.edu\/~lgbtqmichigan\/#)\r\n-> Ann Arbor Fighting Game Community at the University of Michigan (FGC) (https:\/\/maizepages.umich.edu\/organization\/a2fgc)", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"134668-21874695@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/134668", "building_id":"1000227", "building_name":"Shapiro Library", "campus_maps_id":"139", "room":"Clark Commons", "location_name":"Shapiro Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Digital Culture","Digital Media","Exhibition","Free","In Person","Music","Video Games"], "website":"https:\/\/sites.lsa.umich.edu\/8bitmusic\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Digital Studies Institute", "group_id":"4337", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Arts Initiative", "group_id":"4583", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"WolvSec", "group_id":"4659", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"LGBTQ+ Michigan", "group_id":"4768", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134668_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":5, "first_occurrence":21874691 } , "132757-21871761": { "datetime_modified":"20250324T162500", "datetime_start":"20250411T110000", "datetime_end":"20250411T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-04-11", "date_end":"2025-04-11", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"CGIS Advising Fair", "occurrence_title":"CGIS Advising Fair (Drop In)", "combined_title":"CGIS Advising Fair: CGIS Advising Fair (Drop In)", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"CGIS Advising Fair: Want to plan ahead but not sure where to start?
