Pájaros de verano (Birds of Passage)Wayuu, English, and Spanish with English subtitlesWith Carmiña Martínez, José Acosta, Natalia Reyes, Jhon Narváez, Greider Meza, José Vicente Cote, Juan Bautista MartínezACADEMY AWARD® COLOMBIA’S SUBMISSION FOR BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILMCristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra, the creative team behind Oscar®-nominated Embrace of the Serpent (also available for your SFC festival), return with this inspired mob epic for the ages — a completely fresh take on the origins of the Colombian drug trade, far from Narcos and Escobar, as told through the story of an indigenous Wayúu family.In the 1970s, as an American-fueled marijuana boom hits Colombia, farmers quickly turn into seasoned businessmen starting a narco-trafficking era known as “la Bonanza Marimbera.”In the Guajira desert, one indigenous Wayúu clan takes a leading role. Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed, passion, and honor blend together over the decades, the family’s unity, their lives, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. She paints intuitively to music, spontaneously, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush, but also fingers, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops, playgrounds, houses and aerial views, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales, but rather to celebrate the color, shape, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Migrations: Fiber Notes from the Journey (April 4, 2020 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73895 73895-18392947@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 4, 2020 8:00am

Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist, Martina Celerin. Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving, crochet, needle felting, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED: We are working on a reschedule date.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MSBR) is a technique that can help individuals experiencing stress resulting from chronic physical and psychological conditions. Research has demonstrated MSBR has contributed to improved behavioral outcomes including better sleep, lower blood pressure, and fewer worries! This workshop is for clinicians who are interested in learning more about teaching MBSR or in seeking MBSR teacher certification.

This intense, interactive teacher training includes both experiencing sessions of MBSR and working in small groups to begin practicing teaching the MBSR program. Participants will strengthen their skills to embody a non-judgmental, present-moment focus with an understanding of how this supports and strengthens such mind states as kindness, compassion and equanimity. Daily meditation practice, yoga/mindful movement, and periods of silence are also part of the curriculum.

This training workshop is led by skilled mindfulness teacher trainers who are also experienced clinicians, mindfulness teachers, and retreat leaders. Join the Psych Clinic and Susan Woods, LCSW, a leader in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction therapy, for this MBSR training workshop!

Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. Over the years, she has collected, saved, garbage-rescued, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds, the vessels that hold them, and the totems that pay tribute to them, all keep her company, inspire her, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea, Michigan.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (April 4, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507821@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 4, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Location: Chrysler Auditorium
Organized By: Maize Pages Student Organizations

Brain Busters is a great introductory event that introduces girls to computer science concepts and teaches them how to analyze and think critically when trying to come up with a solution for a variety of different problems. Brain Busters will bring together girls from all over southeast Michigan for a day of cs-related puzzle solving fun! Computers are not required! The girls will immediately be split up into groups of 3 to 4. Each group will be given a station to start at, and will rotate through each station over the day. Each station will have a different puzzle and computer science concept that the girls will have to master. We will start out with simple sorting and searching algorithms that will encourage the girls to come up with the most efficient way to go about sorting and searching. Through this activity, the girls will learn how computers “think” when they are sorting through data. The girls will also be given the chance to learn three different types of searching: linear, binary, and hashing. The next station will help the girls learn about how data in computers is stored and transmitted. This activity will be all about binary numbers. The girls will be given the task of making “binary bracelets” that spell out their initials. The third station will focus on decryption. The girls will spend some time learning about information hiding, and then will be given the opportunity to decrypt a variety of encrypted messages.The last station is based on the Travelling Salesman Problem(TSP) where the girls will learn about the problem through a hands-on activity and brainstorm different ways to solve it.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (April 4, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207429@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 4, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic, spiritual, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, Candy and Michael Barasch, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints, drawings, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists, their communities, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.

This exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witness Lab (April 4, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68851 68851-17165908@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 4, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

“There is a certain tentativeness to the 14-year-old Eun-hee (Ji-hu Park) in writer-director Bora Kim’s sure-handed feature debut “House of Hummingbird,” a tender yet somewhat underpowered coming-of-age film set in the Seoul of 1994. Lonely, reserved, and stuck in a dysfunctional household among her frequently quarrelling parents (Seung-Yeon Lee and In-gi Jeong), her troublemaking sister Su-hee (Su-yeon Park), and bully of a brother Dae-hoon (Sang-yeon Sohn), eighth-grader Eun-hee seems to move through life involuntarily, like a bird with a pair of broken wings. And yet, she still copes with routine neglect behind a youthful shield of resilience — Kim slowly lays bare Eun-hee’s toughened spirit from a minimalist and acutely feminine perspective.” –TOMRIS LAFFLY, Variety

Witness Lab Discussion: Can You Accurately Describe A Criminal? Police Sketches And Discussing Wrongful Convictions:  An Interactive Experiment (April 4, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73785 73785-18315757@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 4, 2020 1:00pm

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Could you describe a person you saw briefly so that a police artist could draw a recognizable sketch? Could you pick that person out of a set of photos?  In this interactive session, Michigan Innocence Clinic Director Dave Moran, psychology student Aryn Margulis, and Ken Wyniemko, who was wrongfully convicted because of his resemblance to a police sketch, will engage the audience with identification experiments and present research about eyewitness identifications and how they lead to wrongful convictions.

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs, classes, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.

In her investigation of America’s courts, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law, drama, and anthropology, among others. 

Due to the nature of the project, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

a play by Chay Yew
Directed by Matthew Ozawa

Using dance, drag, drama, and documentary elements, A Beautiful Country chronicles 150 years of Asian-American immigration history. Miss Visa Denied, a drag queen and performer, is the narrator who guides the audience through the turbulent history of Chinese, Filipino, and Japanese people coming to America. Heartfelt testimonials and the dramatization of some highly vibrant and egregious pieces of propaganda showcase the provocative events that have shaped this history. Addressing issues of race, gender, and appropriation, this play examines the fundamental questions surrounding the immigrant experience, including what it means to be an American.

Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. She paints intuitively to music, spontaneously, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush, but also fingers, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops, playgrounds, houses and aerial views, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales, but rather to celebrate the color, shape, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Migrations: Fiber Notes from the Journey (April 5, 2020 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73895 73895-18392948@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 5, 2020 8:00am

Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist, Martina Celerin. Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving, crochet, needle felting, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED: We are working on a reschedule date.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MSBR) is a technique that can help individuals experiencing stress resulting from chronic physical and psychological conditions. Research has demonstrated MSBR has contributed to improved behavioral outcomes including better sleep, lower blood pressure, and fewer worries! This workshop is for clinicians who are interested in learning more about teaching MBSR or in seeking MBSR teacher certification.

This intense, interactive teacher training includes both experiencing sessions of MBSR and working in small groups to begin practicing teaching the MBSR program. Participants will strengthen their skills to embody a non-judgmental, present-moment focus with an understanding of how this supports and strengthens such mind states as kindness, compassion and equanimity. Daily meditation practice, yoga/mindful movement, and periods of silence are also part of the curriculum.

This training workshop is led by skilled mindfulness teacher trainers who are also experienced clinicians, mindfulness teachers, and retreat leaders. Join the Psych Clinic and Susan Woods, LCSW, a leader in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction therapy, for this MBSR training workshop!

Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. Over the years, she has collected, saved, garbage-rescued, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds, the vessels that hold them, and the totems that pay tribute to them, all keep her company, inspire her, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea, Michigan.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (April 5, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507822@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 5, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (April 5, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207430@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 5, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic, spiritual, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, Candy and Michael Barasch, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Project Management Certification (April 5, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73563 73563-18261073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 5, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skillset to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B, and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Reflections: An Ordinary Day (April 5, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68062 68062-16988328@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 5, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints, drawings, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists, their communities, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.

This exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

a play by Chay Yew
Directed by Matthew Ozawa

Using dance, drag, drama, and documentary elements, A Beautiful Country chronicles 150 years of Asian-American immigration history. Miss Visa Denied, a drag queen and performer, is the narrator who guides the audience through the turbulent history of Chinese, Filipino, and Japanese people coming to America. Heartfelt testimonials and the dramatization of some highly vibrant and egregious pieces of propaganda showcase the provocative events that have shaped this history. Addressing issues of race, gender, and appropriation, this play examines the fundamental questions surrounding the immigrant experience, including what it means to be an American.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics: Kaleidoscope (April 5, 2020 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70158 70158-17540898@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 5, 2020 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape. Join an UMMA docent on a tour through this eye-opening exhibition. 

Support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

What is K-pop?
K-pop, or Korean pop music, is the largest cultural export of Korea. The style of K-pop blends elements of pop/R&B/rap tones, repetitive verses, dancing, and unique fashion. Referred to as part of ‘Hallyu’ (한류), or the ‘Korean Wave,’ K-pop captivated audiences of Asia and traveled the world into the United States, including our community in Ann Arbor.

On April 22, 2020, our world celebrates the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, an annual event meant to bring people together from across the world in protest, solidarity, and conversation about how we can collectively fight for a sustainable and just world. In this Teach-Out, you will explore the origins of Earth Day 1970 with student activists from Environmental Action for Survival (ENACT), an environmental student group from the University of Michigan, whose efforts led to a massive “Teach-In on the Environment” which drew tens of thousands of people. This was just one of many teach-in events that took place in 1970 and kicked-off Earth Day as we know it.

50 years later, you are invited to this “Teach-Out” to engage in an intergenerational and interdisciplinary conversion about what sustainability means across different sectors, disciplines, and lived experiences. You will explore themes including global sustainability efforts, climate change, environmental justice, and more, to inspire you to take action on Earth Day and beyond. Together, we will collectively develop visions for a sustainable, just, and peaceful world.

Birds Fly In: Oil Painting (April 6, 2020 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73892 73892-18390612@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 6, 2020 8:00am

Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. She paints intuitively to music, spontaneously, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush, but also fingers, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops, playgrounds, houses and aerial views, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales, but rather to celebrate the color, shape, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist, Martina Celerin. Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving, crochet, needle felting, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED: We are working on a reschedule date.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MSBR) is a technique that can help individuals experiencing stress resulting from chronic physical and psychological conditions. Research has demonstrated MSBR has contributed to improved behavioral outcomes including better sleep, lower blood pressure, and fewer worries! This workshop is for clinicians who are interested in learning more about teaching MBSR or in seeking MBSR teacher certification.

This intense, interactive teacher training includes both experiencing sessions of MBSR and working in small groups to begin practicing teaching the MBSR program. Participants will strengthen their skills to embody a non-judgmental, present-moment focus with an understanding of how this supports and strengthens such mind states as kindness, compassion and equanimity. Daily meditation practice, yoga/mindful movement, and periods of silence are also part of the curriculum.

This training workshop is led by skilled mindfulness teacher trainers who are also experienced clinicians, mindfulness teachers, and retreat leaders. Join the Psych Clinic and Susan Woods, LCSW, a leader in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction therapy, for this MBSR training workshop!

Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. Over the years, she has collected, saved, garbage-rescued, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds, the vessels that hold them, and the totems that pay tribute to them, all keep her company, inspire her, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea, Michigan.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (April 6, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507823@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 6, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Write-Togethers will be running remotely every Monday on BlueJeans. The primary objective of the Write-Together—to provide a supportive community environment where you can make progress on larger writing projects—does not change in the move from in-person to remote. As we start redefining what our daily lives look like, having a virtual community in place to hold yourself accountable to your larger writing goals can be a potentially anchoring structure. If you are able to join us, we will look forward to touching base with you about your writing goals, and holding space for writing assistance as needed.
You can join the BlueJeans meeting by clicking on the link below, or dialing in by phone. This is set up to be a chat-only meeting, so that we don’t overtax the server, though we may enable cameras at later meetings if participants prefer it.

Virtual Event - https://bluejeans.com/693473684

The Michigan Population Studies Center presents a panel discussion on Census 2020: Opportunities and Challenges, with Barbara A. Anderson, William Frey, David Johnson.

PSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

BIOS:

Dr. Anderson studies the relationship between social change and demographic change. Her research focuses on the former Soviet Union, China and South Africa. Her teaching centers on the relationship between social and demographic change and on technical demography.

Dr. Frey specializes in migration, population redistribution, and the demography of metropolitan areas. He is currently studying the dynamics of race and status-selective immigration and internal migration dynamics in U.S. metropolitan areas with the 1980-2000 Censuses. He also studies the migration and distribution of the elderly population in the U.S. as well as poverty migration determinants. Frey directs the Social Science Data Analysis Network (www.SSDAN.net) that creates demographic media for educators and policy-makers.

Dr. Johnson's research interests include the measurement of inequality and mobility (using income, consumption and wealth), the effects of tax rebates, equivalence scale estimation, poverty measurement, and price indexes.

This event has been cancelled.

In modern representation, 'Islamic' history is the evolving story of a religion that was born with Muhammad's career and has continued to the present as an exclusive tradition. In tension with this view, premodern Islamic chronicles tend to espouse inclusive temporalities, while also maintaining triumphalist outlooks. Complex understandings of the past embedded in such chronicles help problematize the presumed insularity of Islam.

Organized By: Modern Greek Program

The Gerald F. Else Lecture in the Humanities

Summary:
Everyone knows that a classical education equips you for whatever life may throw at you, that Homer and Plato and Sophocles speak to the twenty-first century, but it’s also true that ordinary life can prepare you to study the classics. Who you are when you come to a text—say, Sophocles’ Antigone—can give you an intimate experience that you wouldn’t have had if that text had been thrust at you as “required reading” before you were ripe for it. I was in my thirties, working as a copy editor at The New Yorker, when I began studying modern Greek in order to travel; I fell in love with the Aegean, and immersed myself in classical Greek. It was a kind of therapy. When I got an opportunity to write about Greek, thirty years after my first enchantment, it seemed as if all my life had been leading to this. I dove into the scholarship, reading introductions and afterwords, footnotes, endnotes—all the scholarly apparatus. Scholarly books put the acknowledgments first and sum up their arguments neatly in the introduction, whereas journalists, hoping to inject suspense, grudgingly supply a “nut graph” and leave their acknowledgments for last. There were areas I had to acquire a deep knowledge of in order to write about superficially. Some of my favorite rabbit holes: the alphabet, the transmission of classical texts, Homer, the bizarre death of Milman Parry, code breakers who died young, schools of translation, gods and goddesses in the age of marketing (Apollo Electric, Hermes Hauling, Odyssey Phone Repair), the poet James Merrill (who lived in Athens as a rich young gay man), Freudian terminology, U.S. towns with Greek names, the shield of a fire chief (my father) and how it evokes Achilles and the world of the hero . . . Some of these things survived in the book as a single sentence, some not at all.

How can a person, condensing all her experience and following up every lead, write something that is both accessible and serious, neither too detailed for the nonspecialist nor too callow for the scholar? On the one hand, I didn’t have enough classical Greek to impress a scholar, and, on the one hand, I didn’t have enough modern Greek to hold my own with a native. A book that filtered Greek through me would have something to disappoint everyone. But I kept reminding myself that epic poetry and philosophy and tragedy are not solely the province of the scholar. Like the earth, “holy and inexhaustible,” they belong to us all.

Designed to prepare young leaders to deepen understanding between China and the rest of the world, Schwarzman Scholars is the first scholarship created to respond to the geopolitical landscape of the 21st Century. Whether in politics, business or science, the success of future leaders around the world will depend upon an understanding of China’s role in global trends.

With the inaugural class enrolled in 2016, the program gives the world’s best and brightest students the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and professional networks through a one-year Master’s Degree at Tsinghua University in Beijing – one of China’s most prestigious universities. Students pursue a Masters in Global Affairs, working with an academic advisor to design an academic plan that best suits his or her academic and professional goals.

Students spend a year immersed in an international community of thinkers, innovators and senior leaders in business, politics and society. In an environment of intellectual engagement, professional development and cultural exchange, they learn from one another and pursue their academic disciplines while building their leadership capacities.

This experience will expand students’ understanding of the world and create a growing network of global leaders that will build strong ties between China and the rest of the world.

For those ready to make their mark on the world, Schwarzman Scholars represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Learn more by attending our online information session!

Telomerase Holoenzyme Assembly, Structure, and Action at Telomeres (April 6, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63637 63637-15824834@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 6, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Department of Chemistry


Telomerase is the eukaryotic ribonucleoprotein reverse transcriptase that protects genome stability by adding telomeric repeats to chromosome ends. Altered telomerase function is implicated in cancer, aging and other human diseases. To understand telomerase, we have defined cellular telomerase holoenzyme subunits and structures, biochemical mechanisms that underlie the reiterative synthesis of telomeric repeats, and cellular controls of telomerase action at telomeres. Our recent studies of have uncovered unanticipated layers of complexity in how telomerase RNA folds, the pathways of active enzyme assembly, and positive and negative regulation of telomerase at chromosome ends.

Speaking Up & Speaking Out: Why the AAPI Community Must Be Politically Engaged (April 6, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73444 73444-18223778@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 6, 2020 5:30pm

Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

Join us for Jenn's lecture on "Speaking Up and Speaking Out: Why the AAPI Community Must Be Politically Engaged." Jenn is a proud Asian American feminist, scientist and nerd who currently blogs at Reappropriate.co, one of the web’s oldest AAPI feminist and race activist blogs.

For more information and to RSVP, please click here: https://bit.ly/jennfang

Lecture Description:
Asian American and Pacific Islander communities are popularly typecast as apolitical and disengaged, but these stereotypes ignore over 150 years of AAPI movement history marked by intense grassroots political organizing around issues of social justice. In the face of profound, and often state-sanctioned, racial violence, AAPIs have repeatedly come together to demand justice and liberation, often in partnership with other oppressed peoples. The current political climate makes that history even more relevant as Islamophobia and the forcible detention of migrants along the US-Mexico border stir memories of Chinese Exclusion and Japanese American incarceration. In this lecture, Dr. Fang will draw from watershed moments throughout AAPI organizing history – including the landmark Justice for Vincent Chin case that took place in Detroit in the 1980’s – to contextualize contemporary racial politics, and will argue forcefully for why today’s generation of AAPIs must continue that tradition of political engagement in the ongoing fight for racial and social justice.

This event is a part of Asian/Pacific Islander American (A/PIA) Heritage Month which is celebrated mid-March to mid-April at the University of Michigan. For a full list of events, please visit MESA's website.

On April 22, 2020, our world celebrates the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, an annual event meant to bring people together from across the world in protest, solidarity, and conversation about how we can collectively fight for a sustainable and just world. In this Teach-Out, you will explore the origins of Earth Day 1970 with student activists from Environmental Action for Survival (ENACT), an environmental student group from the University of Michigan, whose efforts led to a massive “Teach-In on the Environment” which drew tens of thousands of people. This was just one of many teach-in events that took place in 1970 and kicked-off Earth Day as we know it.

50 years later, you are invited to this “Teach-Out” to engage in an intergenerational and interdisciplinary conversion about what sustainability means across different sectors, disciplines, and lived experiences. You will explore themes including global sustainability efforts, climate change, environmental justice, and more, to inspire you to take action on Earth Day and beyond. Together, we will collectively develop visions for a sustainable, just, and peaceful world.

Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. She paints intuitively to music, spontaneously, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush, but also fingers, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops, playgrounds, houses and aerial views, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales, but rather to celebrate the color, shape, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist, Martina Celerin. Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving, crochet, needle felting, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MSBR) is a technique that can help individuals experiencing stress resulting from chronic physical and psychological conditions. Research has demonstrated MSBR has contributed to improved behavioral outcomes including better sleep, lower blood pressure, and fewer worries! This workshop is for clinicians who are interested in learning more about teaching MBSR or in seeking MBSR teacher certification.

This intense, interactive teacher training includes both experiencing sessions of MBSR and working in small groups to begin practicing teaching the MBSR program. Participants will strengthen their skills to embody a non-judgmental, present-moment focus with an understanding of how this supports and strengthens such mind states as kindness, compassion and equanimity. Daily meditation practice, yoga/mindful movement, and periods of silence are also part of the curriculum.

This training workshop is led by skilled mindfulness teacher trainers who are also experienced clinicians, mindfulness teachers, and retreat leaders. Join the Psych Clinic and Susan Woods, LCSW, a leader in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction therapy, for this MBSR training workshop!

Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. Over the years, she has collected, saved, garbage-rescued, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds, the vessels that hold them, and the totems that pay tribute to them, all keep her company, inspire her, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea, Michigan.

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Women were first admitted to the University of Michigan in 1870. This exhibit at the Bentley Historical Library tells the story of earlier, unsuccessful attempts by women to enter U-M, the process by which the Regents eventually reached the decision resulting in the admission of women, and experiences of some of the first women to matriculate at the University. Visit the Bentley to see actual documents drawn from the Bentley collection and others.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This class interaction with the Witness Lab project is open to the public for observation. Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. 

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs, classes, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.

In her investigation of America’s courts, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law, drama, and anthropology, among others. 

Due to the nature of the project, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (April 7, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207431@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 7, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic, spiritual, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”

UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints, drawings, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists, their communities, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.

This exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials, court transcript readings, and trial advocacy workshops, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists, or court reporters, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing, text, photography, and video.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Chiral amines are ubiquitous motifs in organic molecules of societal value. The synthesis of certain chiral amines remains a synthetic challenge. Presented herein is an unusual approach to chiral amine synthesis that utilizes the spontaneous rearrangement of allylic azides (Winstein Rearrangement). One component of the equilibrating mixture can be selectively trapped, establishing the amine bearing stereocenter. However, accomplishing this in practice requires high levels of selectivity and the simultaneous application of numerous control elements. Approaches to enabling selectivity will be described along with synthetic applications of the reactions, including in the synthesis of heterocyclic products.

Unfortunately and due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled.

The phrase dui yang 對揚 (roughly, “responsively exalt”) is a ubiquitous formula in Zhou bronze inscriptions, evoking a symbiotic interaction between virtuous minister and sage ruler whereby ritually or verbally efficacious response from the former enhances the might and reputation of the latter. The medieval empires of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Tang, a millennium and a half or so later, were naturally utterly different in nature, structure, and complexity from the old Bronze-age kingdoms recorded and mythologized in the classics, but they nonetheless operated under a sort of contractual obligation to represent their own functioning as a continuation or restoration of those mythic sagely kingdoms. This talk, centering on medieval traditions of court speech and related aspects of examination and educational culture, explores the processes of historical “translation” through which medieval rulers and their ministers strove to carry on this responsive and exaltative function as they understood it.

Robert Ashmore is Associate Professor of Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California, Berkeley. His main research interests lie in the literary and scholarly traditions of early medieval to Tang and Song China, with particular focus on questions of music and performance, hermeneutical thought, and commentarial practice.

FellowSpeak: "Syrian Women's Labor and the Early Arab American Peddling Economy" (April 7, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69997 69997-17491342@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 7, 2020 12:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

The little-known Syrian American peddling economy (1870-1955) is an unexpected site for parsing how American perceptions of Arabs have long been rooted in ideas of their sexual and gender difference. After leaving Ottoman Greater Syria, Syrians sold goods across the U.S. while navigating systems of racism that intertwined with gender and sexual norms. Peddling enabled their survival and transformed their family structure. Syrian women participated robustly in the peddling economy and their diverse forms of labor attracted scrutiny, particularly from social welfare reformers. I read the social welfare archive for the associations between transience, transgressions of women’s roles, sexual non-normativity, and Orientalist tropes of difference in order to consider how Syrian women were racialized through their participation in peddling economies. This analysis shows how Syrian women’s peddling practices were directly at odds with notions of white, middle class femininity and thus a threat to some Syrians’ claims of whiteness. This talk also illuminates internal Syrian dynamics of class and its intersections with gender, examining Syrian women both as “clients” of social welfare and as social reformers themselves.

Missy's 619 talk will be accessible by this BlueJeans link: see below

Humans are remarkable vocal learners. The language we learn to speak as children is entirely based on the speech we hear around us, and as adults, we even match our pronunciations to those of others in our social groups. What are the evolutionary origins of this vocal flexibility? Our closest living relatives, the nonhuman primates, are born with the ability to produce all of their vocalizations. However, they may adjust their vocalizations in more subtle ways to match those of others in their social groups, just as humans do. Using acoustic analysis methods, I assessed whether the calls of gelada monkeys, a highly vocal primate species, differed across social groups. In this talk, I will share my findings and discuss a possible spatial cohesion function for vocal matching in this species.

Abstract: Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are responsible for non-image-forming functions such as circadian photoentrainment, pupillary light reflex and the suppression of melatonin. Additionally, their axons innervate two main image-forming visual nuclei: the superior colliculus (SC) and the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Furthermore, electrophysiology data discovered that ipRGCs signal to dopaminergic amacrine cells via AMPA/Kainate glutamate receptors and to displaced amacrine cells (ACs) located in the ganglion cell layer of the retina through gap junctions. Retinal ganglion cells had never been found to signal intraretinally prior to this finding.

Several labs have been exploring how ipRGCs mediate or modulate image-forming vision through their central projections and signaling to dopaminergic ACs. However, little is known about the functional roles of gap-junction signaling from ipRGCs to displaced ACs and how ipRGCs work in conjunction with rod and cone photoreceptors to mediate image-forming visual responses. Neurobiotin tracer injections, immunostaining, and optokinetic visual behavior techniques were used in this thesis to fill in this knowledge gap. Four specific aims were accomplished: 1) understand how ipRGC-coupled ACs are distributed across the retina and identify ipRGC-coupled ACs, 2) test the hypothesis that connexin36 (Cx36) couples ipRGCs to displaced ACs, 3) examine the effect of glutamatergic input on ipRGC-AC coupling, and 4) assess the effect of rods, cones and melanopsin on image-forming behavior.

We found that all six ipRGC types are electrically coupled to amacrine cells, primarily via Cx36 and a few ipRGC-coupled amacrine cells are bNOS, nNOS, NPY or 5-HT immunopositive. ipRGC-AC coupling is enhanced in the presence of NMDA receptor expression in ipRGCs. We found the distribution of ipRGC-coupled amacrine cells is region specific, and rods, cones and melanopsin contribute to image-forming vision differently. Because ipRGCs remain light-sensitive in many blind patients suffering from rod and cone degeneration, a better understanding of the signaling ipRGCs could lead to novel strategies to restore sight in such patients.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

Unfortunately and due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled.

Archaeology can offer a long-term perspective on foodways well before writing was invented. How food is procured and prepared impacts environments and our own cultural identities today, and this is no difference in prehistoric times. This talk will engage the audience what Dr. Lee and her team have found on food culture of over 8,000 years in Korea. One of the key questions is how prehistoric communities managed various food resources and constructed sustainable niches over the long term before, during, and after farming began. Examples come from diverse landscapes, including hilly sand dunes on the east coast, alluvial flats along the Nam River, coastal inlets of Busan harbor, and Jeju Island. Food culture flourished well before the recipe was written.

Gyoung-Ah Lee is an archaeologist investigating ancient human-environment interactions and cultural niche construction in prehistoric Asia. Her work deals primarily with the long transition from hunting and gathering to dependence on farming for food, and has been featured in media outlets ranging from scientific journals to NPR. She and her research team secured various funding from the Korean Studies Promotion Service, the Henry Luce Foundation, National Geographic, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and more. While focused in Asia, her research spans the globe, and she has led archaeological projects and participated in excavations in Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, Korea, and Vietnam. Since 2007 she has been based at the University of Oregon, in Eugene, as a member of the faculty of Anthropology.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: Zell Visiting Writers Series

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Lauren Groff’s latest book, Florida (Riverhead Books, 2018), explores loneliness, rage, family, and the passage of time. With shocking accuracy and effect, she pinpoints the moments, decisions and connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury—the moments that make us alive. Florida won the Story Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Award, the Southern Book Prize, and the Kirkus Prize.

Groff is also the author of the short story collection, Delicate Edible Birds, and three novels: The Monsters of Templeton, a finalist for the Orange Prize for New Writers; Arcadia, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Fiction; and Fates and Furies, a finalist for the National Book Award, National Book Critics Circle Prize, and the Kirkus Prize, and the winner of the Grand Prix de l'Héroïne in France.

Groff’s short fiction has won prizes including the Pushcart Prize, the PEN/O. Henry Prize, and the Paul Bowles Prize, and has appeared frequently in the New Yorker and the Best American Short Stories anthology. She has held fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Radcliffe Foundation, and her work has been published in over 30 languages. She lives in Gainesville, Florida.

This event is free and open to the public. Onsite book sales will be provided by Literati Bookstore.
