Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas, Vanessa Mayesky, Scott Tompkins, Nico Slowik, Kimiko Uyeda, and Jenna VanFleteren.

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

Los Angeles-based artist Shizu Saldamando was born in 1978 to parents of Mexican-American and Japanese-American descent and raised in San Francisco’s Mission District. Saldamando merges painting and collage, often using origami paper, glitter, or gold leaf in her compositions, many of which are painted on wood or found surfaces. Her modern portraits and innovative methods challenge social constructs pertaining to individual and collective identity within the broader context of the “American Portrait.” Saldamando’s visual biographies, which use her friends, family, and fellow members of the Chicanx creative community in Los Angeles, create new ways of seeing and being seen.

On November 2, 6:30-8pm, Shizu Saldamando talks to curator Amanda Krugliak about Shizu's artistic practice and her exhibition *When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine*.

About the artist: Shizu Saldamando is an LA based mixed media artist with an emphasis on portraiture. She received her B.A. from UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited both locally and internationally and experiments with a broad range of surfaces and materials. Saldamando’s practice employs tattooing, video, painting and drawing on canvas, wood, paper, and cloth. The work functions as homage, as well as documentation, of friends and peers within artistic and musical subcultures around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. She is currently represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.

Shizu Saldamando is the 2021 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

In this session, Cody Thompson and Kendra Phelps will discuss their article, “Preserve a Voucher Specimen! The Critical Need for Integrating Natural History Collections in Infectious Disease Studies,” published in January 2021. With COVID-19 as an example of the failed merger of host-pathogen research with collections-based biodiversity science, the paper reviews past cases of successful integration of museum collections with emerging infectious disease research (e.g., hantaviruses, yellow fever, parasites). The research concludes with recommendations for how public health agencies and the microbiology community can integrate their research efforts with museums using a One Health framework.

Los Angeles-based artist Shizu Saldamando was born in 1978 to parents of Mexican-American and Japanese-American descent and raised in San Francisco’s Mission District. Saldamando merges painting and collage, often using origami paper, glitter, or gold leaf in her compositions, many of which are painted on wood or found surfaces. Her modern portraits and innovative methods challenge social constructs pertaining to individual and collective identity within the broader context of the “American Portrait.” Saldamando’s visual biographies, which use her friends, family, and fellow members of the Chicanx creative community in Los Angeles, create new ways of seeing and being seen.

On November 2, 6:30-8pm, Shizu Saldamando talks to curator Amanda Krugliak about Shizu's artistic practice and her exhibition *When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine*.

About the artist: Shizu Saldamando is an LA based mixed media artist with an emphasis on portraiture. She received her B.A. from UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited both locally and internationally and experiments with a broad range of surfaces and materials. Saldamando’s practice employs tattooing, video, painting and drawing on canvas, wood, paper, and cloth. The work functions as homage, as well as documentation, of friends and peers within artistic and musical subcultures around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. She is currently represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.

Shizu Saldamando is the 2021 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas, Vanessa Mayesky, Scott Tompkins, Nico Slowik, Kimiko Uyeda, and Jenna VanFleteren.

Conversation and Q&A with UMMA Associate Curator of Photography Jennifer Friess

Join us for a virtual presentation on Wednesday, December 8 at 5:30 p.m. EST, as we take a deep-dive into the new, dynamic reinstallation of the Museum’s historic Apse, You Are Here. This special exhibition, curated by UMMA Associate Curator of Photography, Jennifer Friess, celebrates our return to the Museum and opportunities to experience art in person. The works of You Are Here were selected for their ability to evoke feelings of what it means to be truly present upon our return to UMMA. 

During this one-hour event, Friess will take a closer look at a few pieces from the exhibition and discuss how each of these works remind visitors to be present where they are: to look and feel and be at UMMA, in person at the Museum. Guests will have an opportunity to join the discussion through a Q&A.

​This program will be hosted on Zoom. Please register here to reserve your spot.  

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

This exhibt runs through December 12, 2021.

Making art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.

Currently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States, and in Michigan, there are roughly 33,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons; the impact of incarceration on women; youth incarceration; and the dangers of COVID-19.

The exhibition features artists, poets, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in, together.

Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Janie Paul, Senior Curator and Cofounder, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.

Martín Vargas, artist and curator of this exhibition, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work, but also during select Art Lab studio hours, which will feature several of the artists working in person.

Connections, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University.

Prisons and Politics in America (January 7, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672199@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 7, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process, many of them have been arrested, brutalized, censored, deported, imprisoned, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.

The U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

Curriculum / Collection 2021 (January 7, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84302 84302-21621078@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 7, 2022 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

In Curriculum / Collection, an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of reality, imagination, and vision in relation to politics, social action, science, mathematics and more. 

Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students material and inspiration for research projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.

Here you’ll be able to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund, and P.J. and Julie Solit.

Beautiful By Night (January 13, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90020 90020-21667473@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 13, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist James Hosking lived in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood from 2010 to 2018, during which time he developed the *Beautiful By Night* photo series and documentary film. The work is about the veteran drag performers at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge, a small bar that has had an outsized influence on San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ community for more than twenty years. Sadly, it is now the last gay bar in the area. The project captures the performers Donna Personna, Olivia Hart, and Collette LeGrande as they transform at home, backstage, and onstage. It is a candid exploration of aging, identity, and labor.

Special Evening Viewing with James Hosking in Conversation with Curator Amanda Krugliak with pop-up performances by *Beautiful By Night *protagonists Olivia Hart and Donna Personna Thursday, January 13, 6:45pm-8pm.

Prisons and Politics in America (January 18, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672210@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 18, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process, many of them have been arrested, brutalized, censored, deported, imprisoned, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.

The U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

Organized By: Museum Studies Program

How do museums engage with local communities? This panel offers first-hand experience with different models of museum-based community practice. With its exhibit “Frankfurt Jetzt” (Frankfurt Now) & Stadtlabor (City Laboratory), Frankfurt’s historical museum has turned to the city’s residents as experts and invited them to participate in curatorial teams. The Anacostia Community Museum in Washington, D.C. takes community to heart and works to amplify “collective power for a more equitable future.” The Toledo Art Museum probes a form of community engagement that aims to foster “a sense of belonging for all its audience.” This international panel of distinguished museum curators and directors illuminates how specific forms of engagement work to strengthen museum-community bonds across racial, economic, and other social boundaries. What kind of challenges and opportunities are implied in these museum practices and how can municipalities help to sustain them? Join us for an exploration of museum opportunities and challenges.

The work is about the veteran drag performers at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge, a small bar that has had an outsized influence on San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ community for more than twenty years. Sadly, it is now the last gay bar in the area. The project captures the performers Donna Personna, Olivia Hart, and Collette LeGrande as they transform at home, backstage, and onstage. It is a candid exploration of aging, identity, and labor.

Special Evening Viewing with James Hosking in Conversation with Curator Amanda Krugliak with pop-up performances by *Beautiful By Night *protagonists Olivia Hart and Donna Personna Thursday, January 13, 6:45pm-8pm.

Prisons and Politics in America (January 28, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672220@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 28, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process, many of them have been arrested, brutalized, censored, deported, imprisoned, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.

The U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

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

Artist James Hosking lived in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood from 2010 to 2018, during which time he developed the *Beautiful By Night* photo series and documentary film. The work is about the veteran drag performers at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge, a small bar that has had an outsized influence on San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ community for more than twenty years. Sadly, it is now the last gay bar in the area. The project captures the performers Donna Personna, Olivia Hart, and Collette LeGrande as they transform at home, backstage, and onstage. It is a candid exploration of aging, identity, and labor.

Special Evening Viewing with James Hosking in Conversation with Curator Amanda Krugliak with pop-up performances by *Beautiful By Night *protagonists Olivia Hart and Donna Personna Thursday, January 13, 6:45pm-8pm.

Prisons and Politics in America (February 7, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672230@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 7, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process, many of them have been arrested, brutalized, censored, deported, imprisoned, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.

The U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

Organized By: Center for Campus Involvement

The theme for this year's Black History Month is: BLACK JOY! For the students of the Black History Month planning committee, Black Joy means "focusing on the successes and accomplishments of Black people of all backgrounds. Despite the hardships we’ve faced and still are facing we continue to rise. We are leaders, scientists, doctors, innovators, entertainers, and so much more. Black Joy is capturing the wins of our people and celebrating them despite us living in a world where it is not expected of us to do amazing things. Black Joy is beating the odds continuously in a world that was in theory not made for us. We celebrate Black Joy because nobody has us like we have each other therefore we must rise and show the world what we can do. Black Joy shows that as Black people, despite the trauma our people have experienced, we are proud to be who we are. No matter where we come from or what we identify as we are one and we are happy to be Black."

Details on Call to Art:
We want to give students the opportunity to participate in this celebration of Black Joy in the form of artistic expression. Send in your stuff!! We are ACCEPTING ALL: vocal, instrumental, and dance performances, visual/studio art, digital art, photography, any form of poetry; you basically have free rein!! show us what you got! We will collaborate with the student artists as much or as little as they want in order to make the engagement with the art meaningful and relevant to the artists’ work.

-Submission DEADLINE is February 14th at 11:59pm!
-Gallery Exhibit and Performance date is Friday, February 18th, time TBA.

Fire has profoundly influenced ecosystems across the planet. It is a natural phenomenon borne of lightning, but it is also a cultural one carried in the hands of human beings. As the singular species with the ability to harness fire, it has played a fundamental role in our own evolutionary history and that of the environments we inhabit. We have expanded the natural range of fire as we have expanded our own, introducing it to areas not commonly ignited by nature’s lightning and in doing so co-authoring ancient evolutionary pressures that have kindled remarkable diversity in landscapes and ecosystems.

Southern Michigan was once a dynamic mosaic of prairies and open savannahs bearing little resemblance to the landscape of today. Sustained and shaped by frequent fire, these rich ecosystems formed a peninsula of grasslands extending millions of acres across the southern half of the state. Today, less than 0.01% of these fire-dependent ecosystems remain, reduced to remnants over a remarkably short 200-year window during which time fire suppression replaced a vital culture of burning by the region’s indigenous people. Without regular fire, deeply shaded forests overtook savannahs and prairies, obscuring the memory of a land once dominated by grasslands and the flames that created them. As diverse communities of fire adapted species decline and are replaced by others whose evolutionary mechanisms perpetuate pyric aversion, fire itself is less and less capable of re-entering the landscape the longer it is absent. The window for action grows smaller each passing year.

Carrying the Torch explores the unique fire ecology of southern Michigan through the visual arts, probing its rich history, examining its critical ecological mechanisms, and drawing into focus the conflicting cultural ethos surrounding fire on the landscape. Encouraging viewers to consider prescribed fire today as the continuation of a practice dating back to the very emergence of our species, it suggests through the presentation of the scientific evidence that to inhabit the prairie peninsula of southern Michigan is to be a mutualist with fire, a carrier of the torch.

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

Artist James Hosking lived in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood from 2010 to 2018, during which time he developed the *Beautiful By Night* photo series and documentary film. The work is about the veteran drag performers at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge, a small bar that has had an outsized influence on San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ community for more than twenty years. Sadly, it is now the last gay bar in the area. The project captures the performers Donna Personna, Olivia Hart, and Collette LeGrande as they transform at home, backstage, and onstage. It is a candid exploration of aging, identity, and labor.

Special Evening Viewing with James Hosking in Conversation with Curator Amanda Krugliak with pop-up performances by *Beautiful By Night *protagonists Olivia Hart and Donna Personna Thursday, January 13, 6:45pm-8pm.

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The work is about the veteran drag performers at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge, a small bar that has had an outsized influence on San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ community for more than twenty years. Sadly, it is now the last gay bar in the area. The project captures the performers Donna Personna, Olivia Hart, and Collette LeGrande as they transform at home, backstage, and onstage. It is a candid exploration of aging, identity, and labor.

Special Evening Viewing with James Hosking in Conversation with Curator Amanda Krugliak with pop-up performances by *Beautiful By Night *protagonists Olivia Hart and Donna Personna Thursday, January 13, 6:45pm-8pm.

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process, many of them have been arrested, brutalized, censored, deported, imprisoned, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.

The U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

Oh, honey... A queer reading of UMMA's collection (February 18, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84305 84305-21622955@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 18, 2022 10:00am

Hey, you. 

So, you clicked through to see what the queer art show was all about. Well, relax. Not even all of the art is “queer art.” Don’t get me wrong; there’s definitely sex stuff. Though, if that’s your only expectation of queer visual culture, you may need to check out some of the educational resources below. 

Mostly what you’ll find here is art that spoke to me and challenged me, as I was exploring UMMA’s collection for queer themes. 

The truth is, I had some trouble figuring out what “queer art” is myself. What makes a work of art queer? Is it the sexual identity and/or gender expression of its maker? The subject matter? Who decides? To me, defining “queerness” and then assigning that definition to works of art felt like an exercise in the kind of categorizing I was trying to resist.   Also, UMMA’s collection doesn’t offer a fully representative view of queer lives, experiences, and art practices. It has limits — it tells certain stories while omitting others. All museum collections do. (Check out Unsettling Histories for another exploration of this idea). So, I decided to ask a different set of questions: How does my own situated point of view, as a queer man / graduate student / art historian at the University of Michigan, frame my reading of what is present and absent in this collection? And how can I translate my encounters to you — the online museum visitor who maybe just wanted to see sex stuff? 

The answers are three. First, I sought out works of art that would allow us to question categories of gender and sexuality and the power dynamics that operate within them. Second, in the physical space, I arranged the objects so that they could respond to one another and even challenge one another (we will try to recreate that in this online space as well when the show officially launches this winter). Third, I tailored the gallery texts to promote questions and thought rather than provide fixed interpretations, inviting you to arrive at your own meanings.

So, relax, honey. This is your show as much as it is mine. It’s not perfect. The collection isn’t perfect. But, it’s a start.

Sean

Fire has profoundly influenced ecosystems across the planet. It is a natural phenomenon borne of lightning, but it is also a cultural one carried in the hands of human beings. As the singular species with the ability to harness fire, it has played a fundamental role in our own evolutionary history and that of the environments we inhabit. We have expanded the natural range of fire as we have expanded our own, introducing it to areas not commonly ignited by nature’s lightning and in doing so co-authoring ancient evolutionary pressures that have kindled remarkable diversity in landscapes and ecosystems.

Southern Michigan was once a dynamic mosaic of prairies and open savannahs bearing little resemblance to the landscape of today. Sustained and shaped by frequent fire, these rich ecosystems formed a peninsula of grasslands extending millions of acres across the southern half of the state. Today, less than 0.01% of these fire-dependent ecosystems remain, reduced to remnants over a remarkably short 200-year window during which time fire suppression replaced a vital culture of burning by the region’s indigenous people. Without regular fire, deeply shaded forests overtook savannahs and prairies, obscuring the memory of a land once dominated by grasslands and the flames that created them. As diverse communities of fire adapted species decline and are replaced by others whose evolutionary mechanisms perpetuate pyric aversion, fire itself is less and less capable of re-entering the landscape the longer it is absent. The window for action grows smaller each passing year.

Carrying the Torch explores the unique fire ecology of southern Michigan through the visual arts, probing its rich history, examining its critical ecological mechanisms, and drawing into focus the conflicting cultural ethos surrounding fire on the landscape. Encouraging viewers to consider prescribed fire today as the continuation of a practice dating back to the very emergence of our species, it suggests through the presentation of the scientific evidence that to inhabit the prairie peninsula of southern Michigan is to be a mutualist with fire, a carrier of the torch.

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process, many of them have been arrested, brutalized, censored, deported, imprisoned, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.

The U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

Fire has profoundly influenced ecosystems across the planet. It is a natural phenomenon borne of lightning, but it is also a cultural one carried in the hands of human beings. As the singular species with the ability to harness fire, it has played a fundamental role in our own evolutionary history and that of the environments we inhabit. We have expanded the natural range of fire as we have expanded our own, introducing it to areas not commonly ignited by nature’s lightning and in doing so co-authoring ancient evolutionary pressures that have kindled remarkable diversity in landscapes and ecosystems.

Southern Michigan was once a dynamic mosaic of prairies and open savannahs bearing little resemblance to the landscape of today. Sustained and shaped by frequent fire, these rich ecosystems formed a peninsula of grasslands extending millions of acres across the southern half of the state. Today, less than 0.01% of these fire-dependent ecosystems remain, reduced to remnants over a remarkably short 200-year window during which time fire suppression replaced a vital culture of burning by the region’s indigenous people. Without regular fire, deeply shaded forests overtook savannahs and prairies, obscuring the memory of a land once dominated by grasslands and the flames that created them. As diverse communities of fire adapted species decline and are replaced by others whose evolutionary mechanisms perpetuate pyric aversion, fire itself is less and less capable of re-entering the landscape the longer it is absent. The window for action grows smaller each passing year.

Carrying the Torch explores the unique fire ecology of southern Michigan through the visual arts, probing its rich history, examining its critical ecological mechanisms, and drawing into focus the conflicting cultural ethos surrounding fire on the landscape. Encouraging viewers to consider prescribed fire today as the continuation of a practice dating back to the very emergence of our species, it suggests through the presentation of the scientific evidence that to inhabit the prairie peninsula of southern Michigan is to be a mutualist with fire, a carrier of the torch.

Organized By: Museum Studies Program

L’Internationale’s Democracy Pavilion for Europe aims to reenergize democracy as a desire and practice. It takes the arts’ potential as a starting point for imagining new epistemologies and ethics of living together within the limits of the planet. The pavilion responds to the current political moment and the fact that the idea of democracy that undergirded the post-1945 European order is in peril. Fostering open, creative debate, the pavilion serves as a source of inspiration to reframe art and museums as spaces for experimentation and analysis that critically engage current developments in Europe. The Democracy Pavilion is the response of L’Internationale to the European Cultural Foundation’s call to promote critical thinking and radical imagination. The panelists represent institutions affiliated with L’Internationale, a confederation of seven European art museums from Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Turkey, Sweden, Slovenia, and Ireland. Taking the Democracy Pavilion as their core idea, the presentations together explore new relations between arts, heritage, and emancipatory politics.

Prisons and Politics in America (February 28, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672251@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 28, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process, many of them have been arrested, brutalized, censored, deported, imprisoned, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.

The U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

In 1956, 11 years after proclaiming Indonesia’s independence from 350 years of Dutch occupation, the first president of Indonesia, Sukarno, received an honorary doctor of civil law degree conferred by U-M President Harlan Hatcher. As we celebrate fifty years of Dutch at the University of Michigan with this exhibit, we trace our paths toward a new frame for Dutch Studies — one that emphasizes colonial repair and rethinks which voices matter. View the exhibit in the north lobby of the Hatcher Library.

About the exhibit:

In the section titled “A New Canon," the exhibit includes an empty space where the novel Max Havelaar by Multatuli would be, the “top 10” book touted to have “ended colonialism." With the empty space, we acknowledge the book’s white saviorism that rang in the new era of colonial oppression and cultural genocide called the “(Dutch) Ethical Policy." The books in our new canon crowd out Multatuli’s empty space in the same way that the other materials on display, such as the sound of the carillon score of Gold Coast composer, Charles E. Graves, or the voice of Indonesian forerunner of colonial reparations, Jeffry Pondaag, drowns out the spaces left blank by Willem Janszoon Blaeu’s maps, which reside in our U-M Library collections but are purposely not displayed.

The exhibit continues with collections of materials that show the Dutch program’s comparative approach to Dutch Studies, one that connects histories and cultures and creates understanding through familiar frames of reference. Our collection of Anne Frank materials is supplemented with U-M Professor of History Rudolf Mrázek’s comparative work on the “model camps” of Theresienstadt (Nazi) and Boven Digoel (Dutch). A translation of Leendert van der Valk’s article “1619” on the Dutch foundations of U.S. slavery lies next to Marjolein van Pagee’s Banda: De Genocide van Jan Pieterszoon Coen, an analysis of the 1621 Dutch genocide and enslavement of the Bandanese people.

The last part of the exhibit highlights the speakers scheduled to deliver lectures at an end-of-semester anniversary symposium.

The books in our new canon crowd out Multatuli’s empty space in the same way that the other materials on display, such as the sound of the carillon score of Gold Coast composer, Charles E. Graves, or the voice of Indonesian forerunner of colonial reparations, Jeffry Pondaag, drowns out the spaces left blank by Willem Janszoon Blaeu’s maps, which reside in our U-M Library collections but are purposely not displayed.

The exhibit continues with collections of materials that show the Dutch program’s comparative approach to Dutch Studies, one that connects histories and cultures and creates understanding through familiar frames of reference. Our collection of Anne Frank materials is supplemented with U-M Professor of History Rudolf Mrázek’s comparative work on the “model camps” of Theresienstadt (Nazi) and Boven Digoel (Dutch). A translation of Leendert van der Valk’s article “1619” on the Dutch foundations of U.S. slavery lies next to Marjolein van Pagee’s Banda: De Genocide van Jan Pieterszoon Coen, an analysis of the 1621 Dutch genocide and enslavement of the Bandanese people.

The last part of the exhibit highlights the speakers scheduled to deliver lectures at an end-of-semester anniversary symposium.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out, for writing, for violating repressive laws, framed because of their color or politics, for stealing from the rich, for refusing the military draft, for whistleblowing, for attempting to overthrow the government, for standing up for a belief, or for walking over a forbidden line.

The items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars, promoting political causes, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.

The groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process, many of them have been arrested, brutalized, censored, deported, imprisoned, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.

The U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.
