The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2, 2024.\r\n\r\nWe invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss, grief, healing, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau\u2019s life, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience, reflecting the healing power of art.\r\n\r\nAnn Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25, 2024. During her stay, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.\r\n\r\nAnn Savageau, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.\r\n\r\nDon't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.\r\n\r\nImportant Dates:\r\n\r\nExhibition: August 26 \u2013 November 2, 2024\r\nArtist's Talk: October 23, 2024, at 3:30 pm, RC Keene Theater\r\nArtist Reception: October 23, 2024, from 4:30 \u2013 6:00 pm, RC Art Gallery", "occurrence_notes":"Enter through East University Ave. Open to the public.", "guid":"125338-21854783@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/125338", "building_id":"1000054", "building_name":"East Quadrangle", "campus_maps_id":"54", "room":"RC Art Gallery", "location_name":"East Quadrangle", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","artists","artists and curators","arts","arts at michigan","Arts Initiative","Community","Community Engagement"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/rc\/reserve-a-room-\/rc-art-gallery.html", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Residential College", "group_id":"1029", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Prison Creative Arts Project", "group_id":"2376", "website":"http:\/\/www.prisonarts.org" }, { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" }, { "group_name":"Arts Initiative", "group_id":"4583", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"U-M Arts & Culture", "group_id":"4828", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Keene Theater", "group_id":"5106", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/rc\/reserve-a-room-\/the-keene-theater.html" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_125338_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/crop-event_125338_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":51, "first_occurrence":21854758 } , "126212-21856717": { "datetime_modified":"20240911T092917", "datetime_start":"20240920T090000", "datetime_end":"20240920T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-09-20", "date_end":"2024-09-20", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Let the Earth Breathe.

For over 60 years, the region has been host to the activities of multinational oil corporations who partner with the Nigerian state in exploiting oil for profit. Oil was first discovered in the region in 1956, and the first shipment of the commodity to the international market occurred in 1958 with a consignment of about 5,000 barrels per day (bpd). Production peaked at about 2.5 million bpd, but today, because of community protests, insurgency, and general disruption to the activities of corporations, the number hovers between 1.2 million to 1.4 million bpd. While the state has benefited immensely from oil production, the same cannot be said of the communities that are hosts to pipelines, flow stations, and all of the oil infrastructure that has come to define the entire region. Loss of livelihood, heavily polluted environment, death, and displacement have characterized the region\u2019s interaction with multinational oil corporations such as Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Eni, Total Energies, etc.\r\n\r\nThis exhibition is a bold attempt to shed light on what it means to live in an oil extractive enclave like the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The images showcase the lives lived, the loss, perseverance, and determination to survive.\r\n\r\nThe exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part of the exhibition is displayed in the DAAS gallery with the sub-theme \u201cPeople Crossings and the Dangers of Oil Pollution\u201d and is a demonstration of the everyday lived experiences of the inhabitants of many of the enclaves of the Niger Delta. As depicted in the photos, people cross polluted rivers to go to school and in search of a means of survival.\r\n\r\nGallery visitors are invited to cross from the DAAS Gallery to the International Institute Gallery on the 5th floor of Weiser Hall to see the second part of the exhibition, \u201cLiving, Community, and Polluted Environment.\u201d This portion of the exhibition demonstrates community resilience in the face of environmental persecution. It shows everyday life amid oil infrastructure that litters the entire landscape of many of the communities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.\r\n\r\n\u2014 - - -\r\nNnimmo Bassey is an architect, environmental justice activist, writer, and poet. His latest poetry collection is titled I See the Invisible (2023). Other collections include I Will Not Dance to Your Beat(2011) and We Thought It Was Oil But It Was Blood (2002). He is director of the ecological think-tank, Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF).\r\n\r\nOmolade Adunbi is a professor of Anthropology, Afroamerican and African Studies and Law at the University of Michigan. His research examines the dynamics of power, natural resource extractive practices, governance, human and environmental rights, culture, transnational institutions, multinational corporations, and the postcolonial state. His latest book, Enclaves of Exception: Special Economic Zones and Extractive Practices in Nigeria (Indiana University Press,2022), offers a new approach to exploring the relationship between oil and technologies of extraction and their interrelatedness to China\u2019s interest in free trade zones and its impact on local livelihoods and environmental practices.\r\n\r\n*Nnimmo Bassey\u2019s photos courtesy of the Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF).*", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"126212-21856717@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/126212", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "campus_maps_id":"47", "room":"555, International Institute Gallery (5th Floor)", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["African Studies","African Studies Center","Exhibition","International"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"African Studies Center", "group_id":"3187", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu\/asc\/" }, { "group_name":"Department of Afroamerican and African Studies", "group_id":"1144", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/daas\/" }, { "group_name":"International Institute", "group_id":"1968", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"Donia Human Rights Center", "group_id":"3281", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu\/humanrights" }, { "group_name":"Wallenberg Lecture", "group_id":"3407", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/09\/event_126212_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":19, "first_occurrence":21856706 } , "123760-21851774": { "datetime_modified":"20240830T112455", "datetime_start":"20240920T090000", "datetime_end":"20240920T200000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-09-20", "date_end":"2024-09-20", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"20:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"This exhibit explores the characters of Mrs. Dalloway through the lens of WWI and its aftershocks.

The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by F\u00e9lix Zamora G\u00f3mez Irving Stenn, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\u00a0", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"107870-21817916@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/107870", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","Exhibition","Free","Humanities","Museum","Staff","UMMA"], "website":"https:\/\/umma.umich.edu\/exhibitions\/2023\/a-gathering", "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\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":423, "first_occurrence":21817716 } , "125158-21854482": { "datetime_modified":"20241005T063248", "datetime_start":"20240920T100000", "datetime_end":"20240920T123000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-09-20", "date_end":"2024-09-20", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"12:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"AMEX - Enterprise Strategy Virtual Coffee Chats - FT Consulting Positions", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"AMEX - Enterprise Strategy Virtual Coffee Chats - FT Consulting Positions", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Careers \/ Jobs", "event_type_id":"2", "description":"PLEASE NOTE: INTERESTED STUDENTS SHOULD NOT SIGN UP VIA HANDSHAKE USE THE LINK BELOW.
