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":"126212-21856719@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 } , "123760-21851776": { "datetime_modified":"20240830T112455", "datetime_start":"20240922T090000", "datetime_end":"20240922T200000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-09-22", "date_end":"2024-09-22", "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.

response to the Museum\u2019s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar\u2019s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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":"84303-21621397@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","European","Exhibition","History","Museum","UMMA"], "website":"https:\/\/umma.umich.edu\/exhibitions\/2021\/unsettling-histories-legacies-of-slavery-and-colonialism", "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 } , "123977-21852250": { "datetime_modified":"20240922T120006", "datetime_start":"20240922T111100", "datetime_end":"20240922T121100", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-09-22", "date_end":"2024-09-22", "time_start":"11:11:00", "time_end":"12:11:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"H2O Sunday Service", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"H2O Sunday Service", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Other", "event_type_id":"22", "description":"Come join us for praise and worship with students and alumni from UoM at the Rackham Building (4th floor).", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"123977-21852250@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/123977", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Rackham Building -
