Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant, and later studio manager, in 2024. Over those six years, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year, open studio for the public, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026, they decided to expand community programming, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works, by their studiomates Diskette Press, the publisher Maamoul Press, and by the community that uses the space.", "occurrence_notes":"All welcome!

September 29 - November 15, 2026.\n\nArtist Bio\n\n\u201cBozho, Justin Johnson nde zhn\u00ebkas, Eau Claire nd\u00eb wtthbya. Mshik\u00e9 ndodem min\u0117 Bod\u00e9wadmi ndaw.\u201d (\u201cHello, my name is Justin Johnson, I come from Eau Claire. My clan is turtle and I am Potawatomi\u201d). \n\nMy name is Justin Johnson, Native name Thitthishkew\u00e9. I\u2019m a visual artist whose work is deeply shaped by my Potawatomi heritage. Raised in Coloma, Michigan, my artistic path began in childhood and continued through grade school and high school, eventually leading to me studying at Kendall College of Art & Design for four years. My art is a reflection of both personal expression and cultural tradition, honoring the interconnectedness of people, animals, land, and spirit. Guided by intuition, ancestral knowledge, and the natural world. I\u2019m always seeking new ways to tell stories through my work. My drawings are inspiration from tribal stories, culture, and values that have been passed down through generations. I have collaborated with the Pokagon Band on numerous projects, including traditional storybooks and illustrations. Aswell as permanent collections at the Pokagon Band Administration Building and the Pokagon Health Services building, and artwork featured in the Four Winds Casino gift shop. Some other projects and exhibtions that I\u2019ve participated in would be the Native American exhibition at the Krasl Art Center and a featured as the cover artist with a six-page article in PAN-O-PLY magazine. My murals can be found at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, the Edwardsburg (Cass County District) Library, and the Buchanan District Library. Currently, I\u2019m collaborating with Northwestern University on a new mural for their football stadium. Through diverse body of work, my work continues to share the stories, values, and traditions of his heritage with a wide audience.\n\nArtist Statement\n\nMy work is deeply rooted in my culture, which shapes both my perspective and my creative process. We see ourselves as part of the Earth, not separate from it\u2014every act, every gesture, is an exchange. When we take, we give. This relationship is woven into the art I make, which follows the tradition known as Woodlands Style, or Legendary Style. It\u2019s not the invention of any one person. It has been handed down, shaped by countless hands and stories over generations. This style is often described as \u201cx-ray\u201d painting. With vivid colors and layered lines, I try to reveal the inner spirit of animals, plants, and people\u2014sometimes physical, sometimes spiritual. There\u2019s a rhythm to it that still echoes the Great Lakes region: bold, luminous, and full of life. Each piece is a story that\u2019s been told and retold, woven across time, just like the spirits that guide us. As an artist, I try to reflect these values in everything I do. Even when we drift from the old ways, our spirit keeps us connected. My work is a reminder\u2014a visual invitation to reconnect, to live more intentionally, and to honor the balance and respect that our traditions teach.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"154500-21917858@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/154500", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"Matthaei Botanical Gardens", "campus_maps_id":"554", "room":"", "location_name":"Matthaei Botanical Gardens", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","Free"], "website":"https:\/\/mbgna.umich.edu\/event\/nodagwzewek-gi-gdankobthegnenanek-our-ancestors-are-heard-contemporary-visions-native", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum", "group_id":"1072", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154500_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":40, "first_occurrence":21917823 } }
