It is a multidisciplinary exhibition that traces her artistic evolution from high school student in Kenya to graduating college senior in the U.S. It explores personal growth through material experimentation, identity formation, and cultural hybridity. The work features 2-D, 3-D, and 4-D work; each piece serving as a visual artifact of transformation.\n\nBecoming isn\u2019t about arriving. It\u2019s about highlighting the moments that get us there. The doubt, discovery, and growth that shape who we are. It\u2019s a reminder to learn from the past and plan for the future, but most importantly to live in the present. We become who we are not just through all the choices we make, but through the people we surround ourselves with, the information we take-in, and what we choose to believe or question.\n\n\u201cThis exhibition is about my growth and process, but it\u2019s not singular. Many of my family members, including my mother, aren\u2019t able to attend my graduation due to the ongoing visa ban affecting several African countries. This show is my way of honoring their presence in my life, acknowledging where I\u2019ve come from, and sharing my journey with those who may not be able to witness it in person. My hope is that viewers see these works not just as a portrait of my evolution, but as an invitation to reflect, relate, and reimagine their own paths of becoming.\u201d \n-Elsa Olander\n\nBecoming: My Journey Through Stamps\n\ufeff\ufeffExhibition Dates: April 30 \u2013 May 22, 2026\n\ufeff\ufeffOpening Reception: Thursday, April 30, 5:30 \u2013 8 p.m. (RSVP Recommended)\n\ufeff\ufeffDuderstadt Center Gallery", "occurrence_notes":"Hours: Tue-Fri, Noon-6 pm; Sunday Noon-6 pm", "guid":"148001-21902707@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148001", "building_id":"1000396", "building_name":"Duderstadt Center", "campus_maps_id":"181", "room":"Gallery, Rm. 1019 Duderstadt Center", "location_name":"Duderstadt Center", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Africa","Art","Art And Design","Exhibition"], "website":"https:\/\/www.dc.umich.edu\/2026\/04\/23\/becoming\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" }, { "group_name":"Duderstadt Center", "group_id":"4245", "website":"http:\/\/dc.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":15, "first_occurrence":21902688 } , "147752-21901932": { "datetime_modified":"20260518T112022", "datetime_start":"20260519T120000", "datetime_end":"20260519T133000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-19", "date_end":"2026-05-19", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"OGPS Science Writing and Communication Spring 2026", "occurrence_title":"Writing Confidently: Strategies for Success and Productivity", "combined_title":"OGPS Science Writing and Communication Spring 2026: Writing Confidently: Strategies for Success and Productivity", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"\n \n This series of workshops aims to equip you with practical\n skills and knowledge for writing science with confidence as part of \nyour training (MS, PhD, or postdoc).

Registration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the course.\n\nFounded in 1948, the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals and graduate students seeking to deepen their expertise in survey methodology and data collection. Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application \u2014 entirely online.\n\nIntroduction to Qualitative Research Methods\n\nThis introductory course provides students with a strong foundation in qualitative research, covering principles of qualitative research, study design including participant recruitment and sample size estimation.
