Interconnected: An SLC Pixel Project (October 21, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97903 97903-21795303@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 21, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Science Learning Center

Beginning in 2019, the SLC partnered with artist and U-M alumnus Doug Jones on an inclusive and collaborative art project involving U-M students and staff. Doug specializes in all-inclusive, collaborative design and invented his PIXEL Technique used in much of his work. Several years ago, Doug worked with the U-M Library on a similar project, Connect the Dots: Collective Interpretations from the U-M Library Collections, from 2018-2019. U-M Library published a video describing that project and Doug's approach. You can also view the online exhibit or see the works in person in the Shapiro Undergraduate and Hatcher Graduate libraries.

This fall, the SLC will unveil the four art pieces created in collaboration with Doug and over 50 U-M student and staff co-creators. The special open house will be revealed as part of the newly renovated Science Learning Center. We have worked closely with our partners in LSA facilities to plan and implement renovations that go beyond aesthetic and infrastructure improvements, but focus on making the physical space more welcoming and inclusive. This artwork will be a critical component of our transformed space.

RSVP required by Friday, October 21 at 12:00 noon.

La Pelea/The Fight Opening Reception (November 2, 2022 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97757 97757-21795096@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 6:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Please join us as we celebrate the opening of Salvador Diaz's exhibition *La Pelea/The Fight* in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. Salvador Diaz will join our curator Amanda Krugliak for a conversation about the exhibition and his practice. Free and open to all!

About the Exhibition
*La Pelea/The Fight* is a 46-foot panoramic oil-on-canvas. At the center of the “picture” and surrounded by a jeering crowd, the viewer becomes literally and conceptually involved as the one who is about to fight and defend themself. Depending on where the viewer is standing in the space, however, a different perspective can emerge, suggesting that even a public, collective experience is highly subjective.

Like much of Diaz’s work, *La Pelea/The Fight* brings into question the reliability of the narrator and the complexity of stories, especially as they pertain to the manipulation of facts and suggestions of criminality by the media and those in positions of power. It is timely in an era defined by polarity and politically driven half-truths and fictions, and a reminder that it is the necessary tension of a myriad of perspectives that bring us closer to some truth, rather than the singular view from where we are standing.

About the Artist
Born in 1977 in Mexico, Diaz considers image and information, and how the media and individuals represent stories to a different end. His immersive Panoramic paintings allow for the viewer to be witness, gaining a different perspective or experience depending on the positioning in relation to the work. His work is so original, fresh and contemporary, while at the same time harkening back to the traditions of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

We are excited to invite all interested students to attend an open house to learn about the UM’s graduate program in Engineering Education Research (EER). UM’s EER program represents a unique, interdisciplinary model: EER Ph.D. students (who enjoy a full funding package) are part of a college-wide program, while several tenure-line EER faculty are embedded within the traditional engineering departments. The integrated nature of the program allows the EER faculty and their research groups to be well-integrated with the traditional engineering disciplines, and it provides students a better opportunity to engage in innovative research and make scholarly contributions to the engineering education community. More information about the program is available at our EER website (https://eer.engin.umich.edu/). We will be hosting a Hybrid Open House on Thursday and Friday, 11/03/22 and 11/04/22. Students from all institutions are invited to attend, whether in-person or by Zoom (a zoom link will be emailed prior to the program). Participants will hear about the EER graduate program, meet faculty and graduate students, tour the beautiful University of Michigan campus, and learn about career opportunities as an UM graduate in this field. For participants who travel within the U.S., a limited number of travel grants are available to offset the costs of traveling to Ann Arbor, so please register soon. Note that we highly encourage applicants to the EER graduate program to have Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in a traditional engineering discipline. Please register to attend at this open house registration site (tinyurl.com/2022EERUM) and please forward this link to any friends who may be interested.

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Please join us as we celebrate the opening of Camila Magrane's exhibition *Traces *in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. Camila Magrane will join our curator Amanda Krugliak for a conversation about the exhibition and her practice. Free and open to all!

About the Exhibition
Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).

The scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.

About the Artist
Camila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.

Magrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017, working within a variety of mediums, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.

Prior to her career in the arts, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art, technology, and the use of AR as a creative medium.

Camila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions, event spaces, fairs, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences, The Exploratorium, Themes+Projects Gallery, Minnesota Street Project, MUKEK, Gray Area, Sothebys, and Adobe. Selected press inquiries include Forbes, Adobe Blog, Refinery29, Lenscratch, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas Review Journal, and Open Studios Guide.

Dean Regas: How to Teach Grown-Ups About Pluto (January 24, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102453 102453-21804067@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 24, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

The Detroit Observatory is excited to host Dean Regas, Astronomer at the Cincinnati Observatory, for his talk on Pluto's past history as a planet.

"Are you still mad about what astronomers did to Pluto? Do you still think it is a planet? Chances are you're a grown up. When kids get excited about everything they are learning in astronomy, they are tired of hearing about Pluto. This is the guide for kids to break it to you - that Pluto is not a planet - in a way even you can understand. Based on astronomer Dean Regas' new book, he'll follow the history of Pluto, how cool of a world it is, and why it's not a planet."

Night sky observing with the observatory telescopes will follow the talk, weather permitting.

Location: 1027 E. Huron Building
Organized By: Student Life Sustainability

Join the Student Life Sustainability Cultural Organizers and the Center for Campus Involvement for the opening reception of The Future Is With Our People Art Exhibition in the South Lounge of the Union. The event will feature food, an artists market, and performances related to the theme of the exhibition.

Sometimes, the solutions to the climate crisis aren’t complex technological innovations. They can be as personal as your auntie’s renegade community kitchen that she built after a natural disaster, or cooking with your dad, who grew up poor, and taught you how to be resourceful in the kitchen. It can be choosing to share moments of laughter with your loved ones in a time of hardship, or sitting on the porch with your elders and learning from their stories of the past. Too often, climate conversations ignore these narratives of community resourcefulness and creativity in times of adversity.

The Future Is With Our People brings together work from 10+ UM students who live, work, play, love, and hope in the face of uncertainties and injustices. Through these pieces, the artists tell stories about the customs, communities, relationships, and experiences that bring them joy and a drive to demand a better future. As the climate crisis intensifies, we must recognize that solutions often lie within us, our communities, and our cultures. This art exhibit attempts to express just how vital our stories can be in building a sustainable and just future for present and future generations to thrive in.

About the Exhibition
Nicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator whose practice explores spatial justice and Latinx history. Deeply rooted in community, she cultivates and reaffirms the human connections that ultimately sustain us. Her recent work explores the emergent themes of belonging as seen through the histories of student rebellions in Chicago public schools between 1968 and 1980.

Her site-specific installation With Care, created for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery, presents the documentary photographs of influential Mexican-born artist, teacher, and friend Diana Solís in visual dialogue with Marroquin’s own creative work which includes ceramic sculptures and printmaking. Solís’s photography reflects over 25 years of transnational Chicana and lesbian organizing primarily in Chicago and Mexico City between 1975 and 1990.

About the Artist
Nicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and teacher educator whose work explores spatial justice and Latinx history. Marroquin works with youth and communities to decenter dominant narratives and to address displacement and erasure. Her current work explores belonging through histories of student rebellions in Chicago Public Schools from 1968 to 1980. Through research and creative practice, she aims to recover and re-present histories of Black and brown youth and women’s leadership in the struggle for justice in Chicago.

Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

Prison Creative Arts Project presents an exhibition of collaborative photography at the Detroit Historical Museum (5401 Woodward Ave. in Detroit), open now through May 21st.

A public reception will be held on March 9th, 6:00–9:00 PM, with a panel of previous workshop participants at 7:00 PM.

We hope you will be able to see the exhibit, and please be in touch if you have any questions.

Humanize the Numbers shows the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons. The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height, weight, etc. In the process, their humanity is denied.

This exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so, those in prison reclaim their humanity.

Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

As the Earth passes by Mars, the Detroit Observatory takes a closer looks at our solar system's rusty, red neighbor.

The Detroit Observatory's Seeing in Depth programs are a chance to take a closer look at some of the people, places, and sciences from the observatory's history. Mars has occupied the imagination of earthlings for as long as they've pondered the night sky. As the red planet moves across Michigan's winter night sky, the Detroit Observatory will point its telescopes towards the red planet. We will also share stories about humanity's understanding of Mars through the 20th century and astronomers from the DO who helped explore it.

Talks and presentations begin at 8PM. Telescope observing is weather dependent.

Organized By: University Library

Come and view a selection of early rare books and prints containing images printed with the technique of relief (woodcuts) and intaglio (copperplate engravings). To demonstrate the working of these illustration processes, our display will also include some historical woodblocks and copperplates. Drop by anytime during this open house, held in room 660 on the 6th floor of the Hatcher Library, to peruse these materials and enjoy light refreshments!

From the introduction of movable-type printing in Europe in the fifteenth century, images were often included along with the printed text, playing various roles in the transmission of culture and new ideas. While some illustrations were merely decorative, others became extraordinary landmarks in the history of religion and science.

Healthcare Grad School Fair for Transfer Students (March 21, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106196 106196-21813914@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 21, 2023 12:00pm
Location: LSA Building
Organized By: LSA Transfer Student Center

Curious about different career paths in healthcare? Come meet representatives from different graduate school programs that prepare you for a variety of healthcare careers.

Register using link to the right.

Everyone who pre-registers and attends will be entered into a drawing to win one of three fabulous U-M gift packs!

Refreshments will be provided.

What you can expect?
Our goal is to give you the chance to explore the different opportunities for graduate programs and careers in healthcare. With that in mind, the fair is different from other graduate school fairs in that just a single program from each specialty will be in attendance. You can then take what you learn by talking to the reps at the fair and research how to connect with individual schools that might offer the program that best suits you.

The following graduate programs will be attending.

U-M Medical School

Michigan State Osteopathic Medicine

U-M School of Kinesiology

U-M College of Pharmacy

U-M Flint Physical Therapy

U-M Flint Physicians Assistant

U-M School of Public Health

U-M Program in Biomedical Science

U-M Postbacc in MEDPREP

U-M Human Genetics Program

U-M Genetic Counseling Program



Why a fair specifically for transfer students?
Transfer students have described experiencing uncertainty at grad school recruitment events because their experiences do match the traditional grad student profile. We hope that a transfer student centered fair will help you feel more comfortable asking questions based on your transfer experiences. All of the programs are excited to talk with you about your transfer experience and to offer advice on how to reflect on your experiences when applying.

Artists’ Roundtable (hybrid): 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. ET in Lane Hall 2239 or on Zoom

The exhibit features original works by nine incredible contemporary artists. The involved artists are U-M students, local artists, and artists based in Japan, all of whom are nominated by members of our community.

This exhibit presents portraits of eight feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. The portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of "feminism" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences, needs, and activism within Japan. This exhibit will also spotlight the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration.

Portraits of Feminism in Japan will run through 12 May 2023. The exhibit space is located on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 South State Street) through the main entryway. The exhibit is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.

"a way outta no way" opening reception & activation (March 29, 2023 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105856 105856-21813155@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 6:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Please join us for the opening of "a way outta no way" by Ricky Weaver. As part of the artist's vision for this project, the installation will be activated on opening night with a collective response to the objects, the space, and the archives within. Facilitated by: Ricky Weaver, Viktor Givens, Bryce Detroit, Andrew Wilson, and Efe Bes.

About the Exhibition
Artist/photographer Ricky Weaver intends to explore the poetics and futurism of the gestures and particularities of Black women and Black bodies. She constructs narratives through her images, often focused on people in her family and close community, exploring different representations of Blackness beyond the stereotypical. Weaver is deeply interested in the power, magic, and spirituality of Black women and girls. Her exhibition in the gallery will combine installation and photography as a way of capturing the transcendence of spirit and story.

About the Artist
Ricky Weaver is an image-based artist, theorist, and mother, born in Ypsilanti, MI. Her art and theory are centered around the lexicon generated through black women's everyday practices, dark sousveillance, and images as objects that alchemize the archive on a quantum level. She is currently teaching at ArtCenter College of Art and Design in Pasadena, CA as a fellow for the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design. Weaver is represented by David Klein Gallery and has shown work at Art Miami, the Havana Biennale, Sofa Expo, and more. Her work has been acquired by institutions like the Wedge Collection and published in Aperture’s As We Rise: Photography from the Black Atlantic.

Weaver was named one of LensCulture's Critics Choice Artists of 2020, selected by Susan Thompson, associate curator at the Guggenheim Museum. She also participated in the Independent Scholar Fellowship at The Carr Center where she was mentored by Carrie Mae Weems. She earned an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA from Eastern Michigan University, with a concentration in photography.

Weaver recently presented a paper titled “How I Got Over: The Meta-Archive and other registers” at Black Portraitures VII hosted by Rutgers University. Most recently she has taken on the role of lead visual consultant, specializing in image theory and photography, for the Global Institute for Black Girls in Film and Media.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.

Caroline Sinders: Intertwined Intimacy Opening Reception (April 7, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107058 107058-21815242@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 7, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Intertwined Intimacy is a series of architectural sculptures ruminating on privacy and intimacy, and how the infrastructure of visible and invisible spaces influences communities, communications, and safety.
This work stems from artist Caroline Sinders' previous work combining research driven art and human rights analysis that responds to current technology systems by focusing on how the design of 'infrastructural' and 'architectural' spaces, both online and offline, impacts safety. By focusing on prototypian futures, Intertwined Intimacy observes impacts through public infrastructure, and open, digital commons inspired by mutual aid and open source technology. To generate this research, Sinders analyzed how structures, metaphors and engagements of privacy and security within technology impact mental models The sculptures create a labyrinth, allowing for a space of reflection and consideration for the audience, as the sculptures slowly become more and more opaque, offering areas of hidden solitude and refuge.
Caroline Sinders is the 2023 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence. This annual international competition awards one residency per academic year to a visiting artist/designer who proposes to develop a new work in collaboration with members of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan community. Learn more about Sinders' residency and practice in this Q&A.
Sinders is an award winning critical designer, researcher, and artist. She is the founder of human rights and design lab, Convocation Research + Design. For the past few years, she has been examining the intersections of artificial intelligence, intersectional justice, systems design, harm, and politics in digital conversational spaces and technology platforms. She has worked with the Tate Exchange at the Tate Modern, the United Nations,the European Commission, Ars Electronica, the Harvard Kennedy School and others. Sinders is currently based between London, UK and New Orleans, USA.

The Detroit Observatory in Ann Arbor invites you out for a night of confusion and delight. To celebrate the many strange happenings throughout astronomical history, we will be presenting a series of short talks designed to test the limits of your history and astronomy knowledge. Each talk could be about something true, something wrong, or...something fake? Confused, yet? We certainly are!

Yes, we know April 7 is not actually on April Fools Day, but you'd be a fool not to check out these fantastic talks!

Talks will begin at 8PM and are followed by tours (these are true, we promise) of the historic observatory and telescope observing. Telescope observing depends on the weather.

Fabulous and Fantastical Stories from U-M’s Past (April 20, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106654 106654-21814646@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 20, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

How do you build a 40-foot-long portable telescopic camera, and what can you do with it? How did U-M’s first African American PhD astronomer pursue his effort to solve the “painfully absurd” mystery of what makes the stars shine? Where was William Fletcher — one of the first U-M Regents and the first Michigan Supreme Court chief justice — buried and why did no one know for a hundred years?

The Detroit Observatory is excited to host our first History Roundtable! The roundtable will feature presentations by three of our student docents, Eva Chavez, Sophia Grant, and Bennett Walling. Join us for discussion of topics like those above, and learn about our student docent program and the range of activities that our docents undertake.

Refreshments will be provided.

As with all of our events, the Observatory will be open for tours following the panel discussion, with observing if weather permits.

The Envision publication was designed by Detroit-based design firm You vs. Jesus, edited by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Srimoyee Mitra, and made possible by the generous support of the Michigan Arts and Culture Council.
Envi­sion: The Michi­gan Artist Ini­tia­tive 2023 is on view at Stamps Gallery from June 1, 2023 — July 29, 2023.

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)

Join us at ISR for a reception kicking off RCGD's fall Group Dynamics Seminar Series, "Psychological Diversity across the Globe," organized by Shinobu Kitayama and Catherine Thomas.

The reception will include brief presentations on the topic and the series.

Do our cultural contexts influence our psychology and behavior — and if so, how? In this RCGD series, we delve into the socio-ecological, histo-cultural, and economic dynamics shaping the diversity of selfhood and its associated cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes. We go beyond the traditional East and West focus to include a wide range of cultural groups. This series will elucidate the implications of psychological diversity across the globe for policies in international relations, politics, economics, business, immigration, and other relevant domains.

In person: ISR Thompson 1430

About the Group Dynamics Seminar Series:
The Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included discussions in “Law and Psychology,” “Racism and Discrimination,” “Social Media,” and “New Directions in Social Psychology.”

Harbingers of Dreams Opening Reception (September 13, 2023 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110230 110230-21824610@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 13, 2023 6:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Please join us as we welcome Teresa Tolliver to the University of Michigan and celebrate the opening of her exhibition *Harbingers of Dreams* in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.

About the exhibition and artist:
Born in 1945, artist, educator, and mentor Teresa Tolliver has lived and worked in South Central L.A. for three decades. In 2022, she opened her first one-woman show at the prominent Sebastian Gladstone Gallery. Most recently, her work has been chosen for inclusion as part of L.A.’s Hammer Museum Biennial, which runs concurrently with her exhibition Harbingers of Dreams in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.

Tolliver refers to her process as “creative recycling”: forging found and thrifted materials, and repurposing them. These frenetic bundles of coils, adornments, wires, and loose ends express the artist’s feelings, perspectives, and everyday way of living.

Earlier works of the artist are on a smaller scale and doll-like. They are intimate, imaginative references to Tolliver’s own girlhood in a world lacking adequate or authentic representations of Black life.

Tolliver’s more recent figurative assemblages are life-size, larger-than-life, looming. They command space and celebrate it. There is an inherent connection between these sculptures and the long-established history of African American yard art, where plants, statuary, and artistic creations communicate themes of personal space, freedom of expression, and dreams of independence. Tolliver’s bold visual choices and material combinations are refusals of outside value judgments and hierarchies.

When visiting artist Teresa Tolliver's home studio, one expects the figures will spring to life, otherworldly. They seem to gather and congregate. There are no distractions from the outside, save the light coming through the window. Through subtle details like molding, furniture, and drawers inspired by Tolliver’s own domestic space, Harbingers of Dreams attempts to capture the resplendent and spiritual nature of such a visit, with the opportunity to sit among the artist’s creations.

Tolliver’s figurative sculptures appear as embodiments of the city of L.A. and its diverse communities and neighborhoods. They are assemblages of disparate influences, esthetics, and materials: prefab, handmade, urban, nostalgic, opulent, functional, garish, and celestial. A visual cacophony of colors, influences, designs, and forms, each figure beckons us towards futures in the making.

*Teresa Tolliver is the Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts. This exhibition is part of LSA’s fall 2023 Arts & Resistance theme semester.*
