These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit\u2019s transformation, capturing humanity\u2019s impact on the environment alongside nature\u2019s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\r\n\r\nSwafford\u2019s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions, including light, shadow, and atmosphere, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene, along with his wet-on-wet technique, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit\u2019s landscape, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\r\n\r\nIn addition to these works, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice\u2014an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function\u2014creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects\u2014demonstrates Swafford\u2019s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\r\n\r\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, and while at RISD, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago, Kansas City, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.", "occurrence_notes":"Open Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm or by appointment (serrag@med.umich.edu)", "guid":"142768-21891422@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142768", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Connections Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","ArtsEngine","Culture","Detroit","Exhibition","Free","Humanities","North Campus","Visual Arts"], "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\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":59, "first_occurrence":21891351 } , "145433-21897348": { "datetime_modified":"20260302T171502", "datetime_start":"20260414T100000", "datetime_end":"20260414T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-04-14", "date_end":"2026-04-14", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Artwork Pickup: 30th Annual Exhibition", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Artwork Pickup: 30th Annual Exhibition: 30th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons", "event_subtitle":"30th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons", "event_type":"Other", "event_type_id":"22", "description":"Join us at the Duderstadt Gallery or the PCAP Studio to collect your artwork from the 30th Annual Exhibition.

By drawing on these shared pasts, we aim to develop strategies that foster inclusivity, combat racism, and reduce ethnic and religious intolerance in academic spaces. \n\nThe symposium will consist of four sessions that focus on Judeo-Muslim Entanglements in the Middle Ages; Jewish-Muslim Life in the Present; Interrogating Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, and Anti-Blackness; and Zionism and the Christian Right. The papers presented in the symposium will be developed into short book chapters that will be published as an edited volume (anticipated as a contribution to the \"Darom: Global South Perspectives in Jewish Studies\" series at Wayne State University Press). The editors will be Mostafa Hussein, Bryan K. Roby, Adi Saleem, and Rebecca Wollenberg. Featured Scholars Include Aomar Boum, Saeed Khan, Ella Shohat, Walid Saleh, Atalia Omer, Santiago Slabodsky, and Fatima El-Tayeb.\n\nMonday, April 13:\n10:00 AM - Panel I: Jewish-Muslim Life in the

Muslim students, faculty, and staff are facing increasing polarization, hostility, and institutional challenges. This symposium seeks to reframe these tensions by exploring the deep, intertwined histories of Jewish and Muslim communities\u2014histories marked by both collaboration and conflict. By drawing on these shared pasts, we aim to develop strategies that foster inclusivity, combat racism, and reduce ethnic and religious intolerance in academic spaces.\u00a0\nThe symposium will consist of four sessions that focus on Judeo-Muslim Entanglements in the Middle Ages; Jewish-Muslim Life in the Present; Interrogating Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, and Anti-Blackness; and Zionism and the Christian Right. The papers presented in the symposium will be developed into short book chapters that will be published as an edited volume (anticipated as a contribution to the \"Darom: Global South Perspectives in Jewish Studies\" series at Wayne State University Press). The editors will be Mostafa Hussein, Bryan K. Roby, Adi Saleem, and Rebecca Wollenberg.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"146561-21899588@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146561", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/16815", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21899588 } }
