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":"84303-21621626@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","UMMA","Museum","History","Exhibition","European"], "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.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\/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 } , "135991-21877623": { "datetime_modified":"20250604T154022", "datetime_start":"20250619T110000", "datetime_end":"20250619T140000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-06-19", "date_end":"2025-06-19", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"14:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"EECS Juneteenth Celebration", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"EECS Juneteenth Celebration: Erin Teague Chief Product Officer Character.ai", "event_subtitle":"Erin Teague Chief Product Officer Character.ai", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"The Michigan community is invited to attend the sixth annual EECS Juneteenth Celebration on Thursday, June 19, at 11:00 a.m. in the Arthur Miller Theatre* in the Walgreen Drama Center, followed by lunch in the Gerstacker Grove.\r\n\r\n*Due to space restrictions in Arthur Miller Theatre, tickets for this event are limited and will be handed out on a first come, first served basis.

Our primary goal has been to isolate molecules in rare electronic states and to provide a link between structure and function. We have now initiated efforts aimed at understanding the chemical reactivity of these boron-containing rings, including their reactivity with energy-relevant small molecules. Recently, we discovered that borenium ions can be tailored such that the serve as viable stimuli-responsive materials, possessing thermochromic and\/or luminescent properties.
