In them, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it, for example, a history book, an instruction manual, or a magazine advertisement), placed on a white background like some kind of specimen, and presented afresh with a new \u201ccompanion image.\u201d These companion images confront, contrast and converse with each other, and thereby build new relationships, narratives, jokes, and contexts.\r\n\r\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography, art, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools, galleries, and museums across the United States.", "occurrence_notes":"Or by appointment contact serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"130827-21867025@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/130827", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Connection Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["African American","Art","Culture","Exhibition","Free","Humanities","North Campus"], "website":"", "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\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_130827_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":65, "first_occurrence":21867024 } , "131965-21869588": { "datetime_modified":"20250128T122300", "datetime_start":"20250128T090000", "datetime_end":"20250128T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-01-28", "date_end":"2025-01-28", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Building Power Toward Collective Liberation", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Building Power Toward Collective Liberation", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"The mission of Building Power is to center community knowledge in the fight against white extremism. Often in academic spaces, we do not learn from the activists, community leaders and organizers doing the work in our communities. We want to flip this narrative and provide a space for community leaders to be the teachers, and for students to engage in this type of learning in an accessible way. \r\n\r\nThis past year, the world has become more aware of the ongoing struggles of many, including Congo, Sudan, and Palestine. Although we are not there, there is a sense of urgency and responsibility for us to also advocate for the liberation of these people in addition to our own selves. We recognize how these struggles that are happening across the world are happening parallel here. Dr. King said, \u201cInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.\u201d Black freedom struggles in the United States have always had global dimensions and a deep impact on others across the world.\r\n\r\nFor the purposes of Building Power, we will be using the following definition of collective liberation from the Center of Racial Justice in Education: Collective liberation acknowledges that multiple oppressions exist, and that we work in solidarity to undo oppression in ourselves, our families, our communities, and our institutions, in order to achieve a world that is truly free. Black Radical Healing Pathways chose this topic for this year\u2019s Building power because we wanted to explore the meaning of ujima (collective work and responsibility) in current day contexts and liberation movements. \r\n\r\nWhile we talk about global struggles, it is imperative to remember that we have multiple liberation movements happening on US soil today that also require collective liberation. As we work within these movements, having the knowledge of global struggles allows us to be more intentional in our work and advocacy. Keeping the essence of Building Power\u2019s mission in mind, we plan on inviting speakers who have diverse experiences in multiple liberation movement spaces with impacts here and abroad.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"131965-21869588@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/131965", "building_id":"1000219", "building_name":"School of Social Work Building", "campus_maps_id":"138", "room":"ECC", "location_name":"School of Social Work Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Social Work","Activism","Community","conference","Discussion","school of social work","Social","social justice"], "website":"https:\/\/myumi.ch\/bE9V3", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Black Radical Healing Pathways", "group_id":"4602", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/01\/event_131965_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21869588 } , "130074-21865227": { "datetime_modified":"20250219T082822", "datetime_start":"20250128T090000", "datetime_end":"20250128T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-01-28", "date_end":"2025-01-28", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Chimera", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Chimera: An exhibition by Rashaaad Newsome", "event_subtitle":"An exhibition by Rashaaad Newsome", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"*Chimera* is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film, also titled *Chimera*, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works *Hands Performance* and *Build or Destroy* with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives.
