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":"148001-21902710@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 } , "143758-21893948": { "datetime_modified":"20260318T093432", "datetime_start":"20260522T120000", "datetime_end":"20260522T123000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-22", "date_end":"2026-05-22", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"12:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Heartfulness Meditation", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Heartfulness Meditation: Pushyami Gundala", "event_subtitle":"Pushyami Gundala", "event_type":"Well-being", "event_type_id":"12", "description":"Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you Mental well-being. \r\n\r\nAll U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below).

Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart\u2019s voice. \r\n\r\n*Why Meditate?*\r\n\r\nWhile physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. \r\n\r\n*Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice.
