Artists Amy Sacksteder and Brenda Singletary are both visual storytellers, exploring their relationships to place and time through the contemplation of objects and raw materials within the context and the process of painting. Although disparate in their methods and aesthetic choices, there is a surprising connection in their deep commitment to the particulars, in all the small details more than “the big picture”…the idiosyncrasies and incidentals that give meaning, resonance, and renewal to their own visual languages, and artistic practices ongoing.

To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist, painter, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.

The exhibition* Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings, drawings, video, and reappropriated home objects, she examines her experiences of joy, rest, sadness, and fellowship in the home. While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

About the Public Mural Project:

*To Be Heard*, public mural project, September 28-October 16, 2022. Locations: Angell Hall, Trotter Multicultural Center, Modern Languages Building, Shapiro Library.

The public mural component utilizes community engagement, public art, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown, queer, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist, painter, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.

The exhibition* Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings, drawings, video, and reappropriated home objects, she examines her experiences of joy, rest, sadness, and fellowship in the home. While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

About the Public Mural Project:

*To Be Heard*, public mural project, September 28-October 16, 2022. Locations: Angell Hall, Trotter Multicultural Center, Modern Languages Building, Shapiro Library.

The public mural component utilizes community engagement, public art, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown, queer, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

A Jewish Race Scientist in Twentieth-Century Britain (September 22, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95227 95227-21789019@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 22, 2022 12:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Judaic Studies

This lecture will explore how Redcliffe Salaman, an eminent Jewish scientist in early twentieth-century Britain, embraced a racial understanding of Jewish peoplehood and how he developed a biological history of the Jews. It will emphasize the ubiquity of racial notions of physical and intellectual inheritance in scientific circles in Britain before World War II. Above all, it will stress how racial categories allowed secular Jewish intellectuals in Britain (and elsewhere) to develop ways of thinking about the bonds of Jewishness that transcended older notions that saw Jewish difference solely in religious terms. It will also tease out the connections between Salaman's views of Jewishness and his pathbreaking work breeding blight-free potatoes.

This is a hybrid lecture in Room 2022 South Thayer Building. Zoom registration: https://myumi.ch/RWNV4

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: "New World Italians: The Invention of a Brazilian Identity" with Giulia Riccò.

About this talk:
When and where did Italians first begin to understand themselves as white? This talk suggests that the answer to such a question lies in an unlikely place: São Paulo, Brazil at the turn of the 20th century, which became home to the largest concentration of Italians outside of Italy.

About Giulia Riccò:
Giulia Riccò is a 2022-23 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and assistant professor, Romance languages and literatures.

While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

About the Public Mural Project:

*To Be Heard*, public mural project, September 28-October 16, 2022. Locations: Angell Hall, Trotter Multicultural Center, Modern Languages Building, Shapiro Library.

The public mural component utilizes community engagement, public art, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown, queer, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

La Pelea/The Fight (November 2, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/97756 97756-21795058@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

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.

"Can a Literary Mafia Affect Your Choice of Books?": Jews, Publishing, and American Literature (November 3, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95647 95647-21790516@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 3, 2022 1:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Judaic Studies

In the 1960s and 1970s, many American authors, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, complained about a “Jewish literary mafia.” While perniciously circulating antisemitic ideas, such claims also reflected the remarkable success of Jews in the U.S. publishing industry. How did Jews’ roles in publishing influence the development of American literature? How can attention to this story help to produce a more equitable industry now?

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.

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

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: “The Right to Be Different: 21st Century Citizenship in Dearborn, Michigan” with Sally Howell.

About this talk:
As Arab Muslims become the majority population in Dearborn, Michigan, and assume leadership of local government, residents struggle to find a shared language in which to discuss their contests over space, religious heritage, and the public image of the city itself. This talk will explore the cultural, political, and aesthetic spheres through which Arab Americans are actively renegotiating their right to be different in Dearborn.

About Sally Howell:
Sally Howell is a 2022-23 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and associate professor, history, U-M Dearborn.

What is the importance of metaphysics in building the foundations for "sacred" creativity in Islam? Given the centrality of the light of the Prophet and his primordial reality, can one say that Islam has its own Muhammadology?

Organized By: Judaic Studies

What does it mean to think about faith and feminism together? Is there a place for feminism in Abrahamic, patriarchal religions? Conversely, is there space for faith within often secular feminist movements? Does being part of a majoritarian group (Muslims in Malaysia) versus being part of a minoritarian group (Jews in the United States) shape or hinder reformist efforts in any way? historian Karla Goldman and political sociologist Saleena Saleem address these questions as they discuss the changing roles of women in American Judaism and Malaysian Islam throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Join the Frankel Center for this hybrid lecture with Saleena Saleem in conversation with Professor Karla Goldman and moderated by Professor Adi Saleem Bharat. This event is co-sponsored with Asian Languages and Cultures.

This is a hybrid taking place in 2022 South Thayer Building.

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.

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

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: “Making Place for Greek Islam” with William Stroebel.

About the talk:
This talk will open a small window onto the history of Greek-Language Islam (Greek written in the Arabic alphabet by Greek-speaking Muslims of the Ottoman Empire). I try to make a place in literary history for this refugee literature, which has been uprooted from modern civilizational and national narratives in both Europe and the Middle East. What value can Greek-language Islam offer us today, amidst the ongoing border crises and Islamophobia in places like Greece, the U.S., and elsewhere?

About William Stroebel:
William Stroebel is a 2022-23 Helmut F. Stern Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and assistant professor, classical studies and comparative literature.

Time at university may feel long but in reality it is just a moment, and one that is worth pausing to appreciate. We’re inviting students to come to the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and participate in the work of artist Salvador Diaz, whose exhibition-in-the-round La Pelea/The Fight immerses the viewer in a single moment with a 46-foot wrap-around piece that shows just how many perspectives can be present in a single moment or event. 

This immersive experience includes:

-A student-led guided tour of the exhibition
-An opportunity to add your personal perspective on the university experience to a collaborative wrap-around public art piece that exemplifies how the university experience is a single idea, yet multifaceted
-An ice-cream sundae bar with vegan options and lots of toppings!

This event is free and open to all. Pre-registration is required. Save your spots at https://myumi.ch/M9Aep.

Presented by the Public Humanities Interns at the Institute for the Humanities

Traces (January 11, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101484 101484-21801399@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 11, 2023 9:00am

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

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.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: "History and the Passing Novel" with Aida Levy-Hussen.

About this talk:
Racial passing novels, in which African American characters attempt to live as white, have been a fixture of American literature from the nineteenth-century to the present. This talk turns a curious eye toward twenty-first century iterations of the form. The talk will include, as necessary context, a sketched history of the passing novel; but my deeper interest lies in how contemporary literature has grappled, both thematically and formally, with the subject of history.

About Aida Levy-Hussen:
Aida Levy-Hussen is a 2022-23 Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and associate professor, English language and literature.

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.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: "Monumental Revisions," with Anca Trandafirescu.

Across the world monuments are being torn down and dragged away as if they never existed. But what is lost when we no longer have to face who we once were? Considering ways to radically expand and complicate our monuments’ vocabularies through physical revision, this talk will present proposed design corrections to the Washington Monument. The talk will include a brief historical trace of the monument itself and drawings-in-progress of its imagined alterations.

About Anca Trandafirescu:
Anca Trandafirescuis a 2022-23 Steelcase Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and associate professor, architecture.

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.

This talk considers the Black feminist provocation to reimagine archives in creative and speculative ways through Umi’s Archive, an interdisciplinary and multimedia research project that engages everyday Black women’s thought to investigate key questions of archives and power. Umi is Black Arabic for "mommy" and in this talk I trace how by analyzing my mother’s archive, I have moved away from colonial logics that demand we “verify” a Black past and toward practices of listening, reading and creative speculation, modes of research that require intimacy and collaboration, that build new archives that propose new possibilities.

The Latinx Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop invites you to a conversation featuring two guests; artist and educator Nicole Marroquin and art historian Deanna Ledezma. Moderated by American Culture PhD candidate Pau Nava. Using the concept of play in the archive, this conversation discusses how Chicago artists and scholars engage in community based archival practices as part of art education and artistic practice. This talk will include images and examples from the Diana Solis Archival Collection, featured in With Care, an exhibition by Nicole Marroquin on view at U-M's Institute for the Humanities from February 16 to March 22, 2023. How have artists used and engaged archival collections as part of their practice? How can community archival practice be a form of artistic intervention? How are artists re-imagining the relationship between archives and community? How do artists toe the line between creating and collecting an archival collection?

"An Ideological Suitcase Ripe for Stuffing": How the Soviet Jew Was Made (February 21, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104065 104065-21808356@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 21, 2023 4:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Judaic Studies

In this presentation, Sasha Senderovich will discuss his new book, *How the Soviet Jew Was Made* (Harvard University Press, 2022), which was named a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. In the book, Senderovich offers a close reading of postrevolutionary Russian and Yiddish literature and film that recast the Soviet Jew as a novel cultural figure: not just a minority but an ambivalent character navigating between the Jewish past and Bolshevik modernity.

After the revolution of 1917, Jews who had previously lived in the Russian Empire’s Pale of Settlement quickly exited the shtetls, seeking prospects elsewhere. Some left for bigger cities in different parts of the new Bolshevik state, others for Europe, America, or Palestine. Thousands tried their luck in the newly established Jewish Autonomous Region in the Far East, where urban merchants would become tillers of the soil. For these Jews, Soviet modernity meant freedom, the possibility of the new, and the pressure to discard old ways of life.

This ambivalence was embodied in the Soviet Jew—not just a descriptive demographic term but a novel cultural figure. In insightful readings of Yiddish and Russian literature, films, and reportage, Senderovich finds characters traversing space and history and carrying with them the dislodged practices and archetypes of a lost Jewish world. Senderovich urges us to see the Soviet Jew anew, as not only a minority but also a particular kind of liminal being in a shifting landscape.

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

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.

About this talk:
In 1976, the United States was celebrating the Bicentennial, or the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Set in both 1976 and antebellum America, science fiction pioneer Octavia E. Butler’s *Kindred *is part of a cadre of neo-slave narratives that reckon with the nation’s legacy in ways that defied the heady Bicentennial. In this talk, I will discuss the role of the Bicentennial in *Kindred *and in Butler's life and work.

About Susana Morris:
Susana M. Morris is a 2023 Norman Freehling Visiting Professor at the Institute for the Humanities and associate professor of literature, media, and communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

College is a time when many of us think about the ways we might want to make an imprint on the world. We’re inviting students (individuals and/or groups of friends) to come to the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and explore making an imprint through the work of artist Nicole Marroquin.

Marroquin’s exhibition “With Care” was created specifically for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. It puts her printmaking and sculpture in dialogue with Mexican-born artist and educator Diana Solis’s photographs of Chicana and lesbian community organizing. Together, the work visually articulates the complex and exquisite nature of the human relationships that bind us, and the imprint these two extraordinary artists have made on the world.

This interactive experience includes:

-A curator-led guided tour of the exhibition
-An opportunity to reflect on the idea of “making an imprint” by creating your own printmaking block and creating a work of art on paper or a t-shirt
-An ice-cream sundae bar with lots of toppings!

Presented by the Public Humanities Interns at the Institute for the Humanities.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.

About this talk:
The first Indian film was made in 1913. However, filmmaking was recognized as an industry almost a hundred years later. Yet, Indian films have been circulating globally since their inception. In this talk, Dr. Rai unearths this oft-elided history of Bollywood’s globalization illustrating how India’s prominent stars directed the globalization of the world’s largest entertainment industry.

About Swapnil Rai:
Swapnil Rai is a 2022-23 Richard and Lillian Ives Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and assistant professor of film, television, and media.

Aspects of Disgust and Rabbinic Judaism (March 23, 2023 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102708 102708-21805020@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 23, 2023 12:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Judaic Studies

In the study of Rabbinic Judaism (200-700 CE), the emotion of disgust has received minimal attention. Yet disgust plays a role in almost every category of rabbinic law and thought, including dietary regulations, impurity, sacrifices, forbidden sex, divorce, prayer, social relations with gentiles and “Others,” and ethical character. This lecture begins by discussing theoretical aspects of disgust and then surveys the ways disgust impacts these different dimensions of rabbinic Judaism. It concludes by charting some questions for further study and productive avenues for further research.

This is a hybrid event in 2022 South Thayer Building.

About the Exhibition
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 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.

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.

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

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: “The Problem of the Refugee Writer” with Hadji Bakara.

About the talk:
In the first decades of the twentieth-century a new historical figure appeared: the refugee writer. In this talk, I tell the story of these displaced and stateless writers through the archives of an organization that tried to help them: The P.E.N Refugee Writers Fund. The story of this short-lived and experimental organization, I argue, is also the story of how writing became a human right in the wake of the catastrophes of mid-century.

About Hadji Bakara:
Hadji Bakara is a 2022-23 Helmut F. Stern Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and assistant professor of English language and literature.

Register to attend at https://myumi.ch/Mrm8n.

We’re inviting students (individuals and/or groups of friends) to come to the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and explore how art can be the catalyst for recalling memories and imaginings.

Inspired by Sojourner Truth’s use of image and archive, Ricky Weaver's installation "a way outta no way," in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery through May 5, continues to privilege the fugitive material of the image as a method and a route.

This interactive experience includes:

-A tour of the installation led by the artist, Ricky Weaver
-An opportunity to use paper and charcoal to explore how art can be the catalyst for recalling memories and imaginings
-An ice-cream sundae bar with lots of toppings!

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.

Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar. What is the Relation between the Sufi Khanaqah and Development in India? (April 18, 2023 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107035 107035-21815177@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 18, 2023 5:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

How do religious institutions affect long-run development? Most studies examining this relationship study its impact on human capital formation. I instead argue that decentralized religious institutions led to long-run development by anchoring market participation, political competition, and public goods provision at the micro-level. The legacy of the past millennium’s religious institutions permeates villages today. I provide empirical evidence from the Indian subcontinent, where the Sufi Khanaqah evolved from the 13th century onwards. I construct a novel dataset of Khanaqah locations for all villages of India. The dataset is integrated with census-level data for the years 1991, 2001, and 2011, road upgradation data for 2000-2015, and pooled assembly election results for 1974-2018. Development is indicated by economic activity measured with night-light, health measured by nutritional status, literacy rate, consumption per capita, and poverty rate. I find that the presence of Khanaqah is empirically associated with higher long-run development at the village-level.

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

About the Exhibition
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 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.
