Exhibit Opening & Reception: "she was here, once" (February 25, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60755 60755-14961658@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 25, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Join artist Nastassja Swift to celebrate the official opening of her solo exhibition, "she was here, once," in the Lane Hall Gallery.

This reception is presented in collaboration with the Narrating Black Girls' Lives Conference. Book sales and signing with keynote speaker, Dr. Saidiya Hartman will also take place during this reception.

about the exhibition:
The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us. Consisting of wearable fiber sculptures, mixed media installation and film, the exhibition traces the ancestral footsteps of the Black woman in Richmond, Virginia. Nastassja creates an immersive environment shaped from history, story and experience.

project background:
In summer 2018, Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative project that analyzes the history of the black female body in Richmond, and navigates the stories and identities of the women before us, the stories of the present, and how they affect our tomorrows. Through a communal workshop and collaborative public performance, Nastassja engaged black female residents of varying ages, within Richmond communities, in a project infused with dance, sound and visual narrative that took place in Shockoe Bottom and Jackson Ward. Eight women and girls, dressed in white garments, wore a large, needle felted white wool mask and traveled by foot from the Trail of Enslaved Africans, and ended on Leigh Street in the Jackson Ward neighborhood.

The project has produced a mini documentary and short film. Both films are on display in the University of Michigan's Lane Hall Gallery until August 2, 2019.

about the artist:
Nastassja Swift is a Virginia artist holding a Bachelors degree of Fine Art from Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in Painting & Printmaking and a minor in Craft & Material Studies. She is the owner and artist of D for Dolls, an online collection of handmade needle felted figures. Outside of being a doll maker, she works with paint, print, performance and fiber within her studio practice. Nastassja’s work is currently on display in a group exhibition at The Colored Girls Museum, and her solo exhibition at Harmony Hall Arts Center. She has participated in several national and international residences and exhibitions, including her solo exhibit in Doha, Qatar, and fellowships at the Vermont Studio Center and MASS MoCA. www.nastassjaswift.com

Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

This documentary is part of Traveling Film South Asia 2018.

India | 2016 | 85 mins

Of folk, rock and hip-hop, this documentary captures the rhythm and blues of resistance in the Kashmir valley. It is a portrait of those musicians and artists who have turned their art into weapons of resistance during periods of heightened state repression and violence in the region. As the Kashmiri satirist and poet Zareef Ahmad Zareef ponders over the credibility of his pen, a sparrow’s song of lament takes over; taking us on a journey to discover the threads of people's history of Kashmir, which has been preserved in the region's folk poetry and music for centuries. A departure from Kashmir's orientalist stereotype of a 'paradise' unfurls a transformed cultural landscape of the deeply militarized valley where spiritual ideals of Sufyana music and traditional poetry metamorphose into political lyricism of modern Hip Hop and Rock. From underground artists and rock musicians to cartoonists and performance artists, the cultural practitioners in the film evoke collective memory of their people whilst negotiating with questions of survival, resistance and freedom – all deeply embroiled in the complex conflict of Kashmir.

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Their identity renders them vulnerable before the caste ridden, feudal and patriarchal landlords of the city who, by denying them their apartments, deny their existence too. But Smile and Glady face every day as it comes with grace, humor and positivity, turning their anger and frustrations into songs, dances, plays and works of art that supply them with the hope to live.

she was here, once (March 12, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875154@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 12, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

CREES Noon Lecture. The Language Politics of Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema: From Unreflective Confusion to Strategic Multilingualism (March 13, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58921 58921-14578308@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 13, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

This talk traces the evolution of post-Soviet Ukrainian cinema, from the excitement and experimentation of the early post-independence years to the serious economic and institutional challenges during the late 1990s and early 2000s, to the creative revival of the latest 5 years, in the post-Euromaidan era. The language choices made by the filmmakers serve as a window into the struggles with questions of identity, implied audience, and aesthetic and political choices. Films examined range from those by leading filmmakers of the older generation, such as Kira Muratova and Iurii Illienko, to prominent younger innovators, such as Myroslav Slaboshpyts´kyi and Kateryna Hornostai.

Vitaly Chernetsky is an associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and director of the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies at the University of Kansas. A native of Ukraine, he received his PhD in comparative literature from the University of Pennsylvania (1996). He is the author of "Mapping Postcommunist Cultures: Russia and Ukraine in the Context of Globalization" (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2007; Ukrainian-language edition, Krytyka, 2013) and of numerous articles on Russian and Ukrainian literature and film. A volume of his selected writings in Ukrainian translation is forthcoming from Krytyka. He co-edited an anthology of contemporary Russian poetry in English translation, "Crossing Centuries" (2000); a bilingual anthology of contemporary Ukrainian poetry, "Letters from Ukraine" (2016); and an annotated Ukrainian translation of Edward Said’s Culture and Imperialism (2007). He also guest-edited an issue of Kinokultura on Ukrainian cinema (2009). His translations into English include Yuri Andrukhovych’s novels "The Moscoviad" (2008) and "Twelve Circles" (2015) and a volume of his selected poems, "Songs for a Dead Rooster" (2018, with Ostap Kin). He is a past president of the American Association for Ukrainian Studies and the current vice president and learned secretary of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in the U.S.

2019 Dr. Berj H. Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture: Views of the Ottoman Empire: Discovering the Visual Record in Motion (March 14, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57980 57980-14383891@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Armenian Studies

A wave of handsome volumes about photography in the Ottoman Empire has appeared in the past decade, straddling an uneasy border between nostalgic evocations of a voiceless time just beyond our grasp, and visual markers guiding us to a more complex reading of a challenging historical epoch. The reproductions of these images are a fairly easy task that enable widespread distribution, but what of the hours of footage from the same period, largely sitting uncatalogued in film archives across the globe? Mostly shot by Western cameramen sent by studios such as Lumière, Pathé, Urban, and Edison, these actualities, ranging from views of the ruins at Ani to street performers in Constantinople, panoramas of minarets in Sarajevo to newsreels of Sultan Mehmed V, are now largely inaccessible and poorly researched. The surviving record for Armenia is particularly problematic, existing in unidentified fragments recording refugees from the genocide or international inspectors sent to investigate the massacres. “Views of the Ottoman Empire” is a project begun in 2014 by several archivists and independent scholars to identify what moving images remain, research their history, distribution and reception, and screen curated programs in both the countries where they were initially shot and among diasporic communities for whom film provides an emotional connection that is difficult to quantify. This lecture will discuss the identification and reevaluation of these little-seen films, alongside thoughts regarding their meaning for audiences today.

New York-born Jay Weissberg lives in Rome and has been a film critic there for Variety since 2003, traveling to film festivals throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and Latin America. His work on contemporary cinema has appeared in international publications including Sight & Sound and The London Review of Books. He has contributed essays in numerous festival and retrospective catalogues, with a particular focus on recent Arab and Romanian film. He was appointed director of the Giornate del Cinema Muto/Pordenone Silent Film Festival in 2015, has written widely about silent film, and is co-curator of the Ottoman Film Project, an initiative to identify, catalog, and screen films shot in the Ottoman Empire. A frequent participant on festival juries, he often takes part in panel discussions on the current state of cinema and film criticism, has been a guest of the Harvard Film Archives/Gulbenkian Foundation’s Cinema Dialogues, and is a regular moderator of Masterclasses with filmmakers such as Ethan Hawke, Sally Potter, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Mia Farrow, and Gabriel García Bernal. In programs for young film critics in Rotterdam, Berlin, Cairo, Locarno, Abu Dhabi and Melbourne he has acted as a mentor. His discussion on new Romanian cinema appears as an extra on Criterion’s new Bluray/DVD release of Cristian Mungiu’s 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

"A high school girl dies one night and the next day the police descend on her school to investigate. It seems like a clear cut case of suicide, but several questions arise about the motives for this high-performing student's deadly act. The classmate who was last seen with her is suspected of egging her on and she becomes a target of ruthless bullying within the school. Meanwhile, the girl's grieving mother is desperate for answers, while the school is doing everything it can to save face and move on." - Pierce Conran, Screen Anarchy

she was here, once (March 18, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875208@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 18, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

she was here, once (March 22, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875138@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 22, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

"Beyond Fordlandia: An Environmental Account of Henry Ford's Aventures in the Amazon" (March 22, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62051 62051-15282556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 22, 2019 4:00pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Written, directed and produced by Marcos Colón, Beyond Fordlândia (2017, 75 min) presents an environmental account of Henry Ford’s Amazon experience decades after its failure. The story addressed by the film begins in 1927, when the Ford Motor Company attempted to establish rubber plantations on the Tapajós River, a primary tributary of the Amazon. This film addresses the recent transition from failed rubber to successful soybean cultivation for export, and its implication for land usage.

Winner of several awards, including:
>> "Best-Awareness Raising Documentary," World Wildlife Fund, International Environmental Film Festival [FICMA-Barcelona], November 2017.
>> "Best Feature Documentary," Cabo Verde International Film Festival, October 2017.
>>"Award of Excellence, Documentary Feature," Impact DOCS Awards, July 2017.

MARCOS COLÓN is a dissertator in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and a Graduate Student Associate of the Center for Culture, History, and Environment (CHE) of UW-Madison’s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. His research focuses on the representation of the Amazon in 20th-Century Brazilian literature from an environmental studies perspective. In particular, he is examining a variety of viewpoints from the post-rubber era Amazon through written texts, oral reports, and films; observing changes in the region, its nature and its people.

"Beyond Fordlandia" will be shown at 4pm. Discussion with filmmaker Marcos Colón will follow.
Refreshments will be served.

Presented by RC faculty member, Jane Lynch, and the Residential College Program in Social Theory and Practice.

CSEAS Film Series. “Yanan,” a film by Mae Caralde. Film screening followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. (March 22, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59601 59601-14754554@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 22, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

Ka Yanan, a member of the Philippine revolutionary movement, died during an encounter with government troops in 2012, and is survived by a son and two daughters. The film shows how the revolutionary’s children, grown into young adulthood, cope with their grief and pay homage to their departed mother. As they ponder their memories of Ka Yanan and the cause to which she pledged her life, they find among her possessions poems, letters, and recordings. Kept away for 15 years, the materials reveal aspects of Ka Yanan’s personal and political struggles that her children had previously not fully grasped.

"Min-jae, a fastidious young civil servant, takes on a new post, eager to impress in his new district while he takes care of his younger brother at home. Little does he expect that he will end up locking horns with the elderly Ok-boon, who terrorizes the office with innumerable complaints on a daily basis. However, before the rivalry gets the best of either of them, Ok-boon discovers that Min-jae is a great English speaker, and since she desperately wishes to reconnect with her long-lost brother in America, she makes him a proposition: a moratorium on abusing the office's resources in exchange for English lessons. Before long the two grow close until some long-buried secrets make a very public return to the surface." - Pierce Conran, Screen Anarchy

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Join us for a free double feature screening of "Chernobyl Heart" and "White Horse", followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Maryann De Leo and Residential College and Slavic Languages and Literatures professor Herb Eagle.

Maryann De Leo is an American director and producer. She has been working in documentary
filmmaking for over twenty years. Her work addresses timely issues under the umbrella of social justice, such as gender-based violence (Rape: Cries from the Heartland, 1991 and Terror at Home, 2005), mental illness (Bellevue: Inside Out, 2001), and urban blight (High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell, 1995). De Leo has received numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Chernobyl Heart, 2003.

Chernobyl Heart (39 min.) is an Oscar-winning documentary about the effects of radiation on the children of Belarus, 16 years after the accident at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl. The film begins with the journey into the exclusion zone, driving to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and follows the invisible trail of radiation to the country's hospitals, cancer centers, orphanages, and mental asylums, where the children live, or are being treated for their disease.

White Horse (17 min.) is a short documentary by filmmakers Maryann De Leo and Christophe Bisson that features a man (Maxym Surkov) returning to his Ukraine home for the first time in twenty years. Evacuated from the city of Pripyat, Ukraine in 1986 due to the Chernobyl disaster, he has not returned since then. White Horse was nominated for a Golden Bear in the 2008 Berlinale.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Henry Ford’s Bomber Plant at Willow Run has recently been in the news as the site for a new expanded Yankee Air Museum as well as the present home for the American Center for Mobility, ACM, where autonomous vehicle testing is conducted.

Its wartime story was recently told in an original play, “Willow Run”, presented at the Purple Rose Theater, and in several regional events honoring the thousands of Rosie the Riveters who worked there and at other WWII factories.

OLLI’s day trip itinerary will start with a partial viewing of “The Willow Run Story” movie on the trip to the Yankee Air Museum’s temporary home. A presentation will be made by Museum staff on the plans for the expansion of and moving their historical exhibits to a saved portion of the original Bomber Plant.

A catered buffet lunch at the Museum will follow a presentation by Claire Dahl, a “Tribute Rosie” sharing stories of many Rosies that served as the primary work force at the Bomber Plant.

After docent-led tours of the Museum’s exhibits, an overview presentation on the Willow Run facilities of the American Center for Mobility will be made before boarding the coach for a driving tour of the actual testing areas of the ACM and the new location of the expanded Yankee Air Museum.

The remaining portion of the Willow Run movie will be shown on the return trip to Ann Arbor.

The price of the trip includes bus transportation, lunch, snacks, gratuities, tour, and museum fees.

This trip for those 50 and over will take place on Friday, May 10 from 8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., however you must register for the trip early and there are no refunds without replacements inside 30 days of trip departure.

State as a Producer: The Role of Institutions in the Italian Film Industry (March 25, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62386 62386-15361878@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 25, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

The post-war Italian cinema was organized as an industry or an artisan system? Did State intervention take place in terms of semi-authoritarian control or as a form of strategic support? Historians of Italian cinema have often debated about these questions and usually favored an interpretation of national film industry as a weak, politically-controlled system. The goal of this talk is to shed light on the role of the State in every phase of post-war film production, form training to funding, from the supply of production facilities to the management of film theaters. Case studies and archival materials will be presented in order to have a broader look on the entire value chain, taking account not only films and related quantitative data (box office, admissions, budget), but also the social and professional relations between the various players in the system.

Round-table: Exploring Border Security and Migration in 2019
MARCH 29, 12-2 PM, ANGELL HALL, AUDITORIUM B

We will discuss the realities currently experienced by migrants along the US/Mexico border and the history of America’s border security paradigm known as “Prevention Through Deterrence.” Given the heightened discussion in recent months about the supposed dangers posed by migrants and the potential role that a border wall would play in securing America’s southern geopolitical boundary, this roundtable seeks to facilitate an open and frank discussion about what migration currently looks like, who is migrating, and why. In addition to facilitating a conversation about the lives of migrants, our panelists will also discuss the important roles of history, storytelling, art, and film in the telling and (re) presentation of nuanced information about America’s current border crisis. Of particular interest is how the panelists seek to tell new and impactful stories about about a social process that has a deep history and often overdetermined by simplistic tropes such as the “noble migrant” and “foreign invader.”

she was here, once (March 27, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875174@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Organized By: Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia

WCEE is proud to be the Education Partner for the film "Deochiul," directed by Leonore Kasper (15 min., 2018), at the 57th Ann Arbor Film Festival.

A TV team visits the camp of a Roma community in Bucharest that was recently evicted and is protesting. During the interview, the protesters start questioning the motivations of the reporting team and claim their right to tell their version of the story. The film is based on the story and experiences of the evicted people from Strada Vulturilor 50 in Bucharest.

Founded in 1963, the Ann Arbor Film Festival is internationally recognized as a premier forum showcasing the most creative and unique films of today’s preeminent moving image artists who cross boundaries, defy expectations, and experiment with concepts and techniques. The six-day festival presents 40 programs with more than 200 films from over 20 countries of all lengths and genres.

Critical Visualities 3 (March 28, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60584 60584-14910398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2019 9:30am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

The Visual Culture Workshop (VCW) convenes the third annual Critical Visualities Conference in order to ask the timely questions: “What are the political dimensions of the affective charge between art and its audience? Between the critic and the art she engages? How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?”

Now in its third year, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies, African American studies, visual culture studies, performance studies, media studies, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting, Critical Visualities incites new insights, new questions, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.

As always, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.

Speakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin); Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt. Holyoke); Zahid Chaudhry (Princeton); Laurie Gries (University of Colorado); Nicole Fleetwood (Rutgers); and UM's Sara Blair (English), Vera Grant (Deputy Director, Curatorial Affairs, UMMA), Joan Kee (History of Art), and Lisa Nakamura (American Culture).

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Founded in 2008 as an art collective for DIY artists in Santa Fe, Meow Wolf creates immersive, multimedia experiences that transport audiences of all ages into fantastic realms of storytelling. Housed in a converted bowling alley, Meow Wolf welcomes members of the general public into their fantastical world of art installations, video and music production, and extended reality content. Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return is a unique art experience featuring an astonishing new form of non-linear storytelling that unfolds through exploration, discovery, and 21st century interactivity to inspire visitors of all ages. The wildly imaginative art space is a collaboration of over 100 local artists and is a unique combination of children’s museum, art gallery, jungle gym, and fantasy novel. The group’s 2018 independent documentary, Meow Wolf: Origin Story, takes viewers through the meteoric rise of a penniless, anarchic art collective as it attracts the support of author George R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones), morphing into a multi-million dollar corporation in just a few short years.

This speaker series event presents two members of the Meow Wolf Collective: Morgan Capps, also co-director of Meow Wolf: Origin Story; and Chris Cloud.

Presented in partnership with the Ann Arbor Film Festival.

Human Flow Film Screening & Discussion

Over 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II.
Human Flow, an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration.
The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact.

Critical Visualities 3 (March 29, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60584 60584-15090335@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2019 9:30am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

The Visual Culture Workshop (VCW) convenes the third annual Critical Visualities Conference in order to ask the timely questions: “What are the political dimensions of the affective charge between art and its audience? Between the critic and the art she engages? How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?”

Now in its third year, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies, African American studies, visual culture studies, performance studies, media studies, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting, Critical Visualities incites new insights, new questions, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.

As always, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.

Speakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin); Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt. Holyoke); Zahid Chaudhry (Princeton); Laurie Gries (University of Colorado); Nicole Fleetwood (Rutgers); and UM's Sara Blair (English), Vera Grant (Deputy Director, Curatorial Affairs, UMMA), Joan Kee (History of Art), and Lisa Nakamura (American Culture).

LACS Event. Hostile Terrain: Exploring Border Security and Migration in 2019 (March 29, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62027 62027-15276106@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Hostile Terrain is a Pop-UP Exhibition about America's Humanitarian Crisis at the Southern Border. This participatory political art project is organized by the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP), a non-profit research-art-education-media collective, directed by associate professor of anthropology Jason De León.

Construction of Hostile Terrain Pop-UP Exhibition
MARCH 27-28, 8 AM-4 PM, 2ND FLOOR, MASON HALL, OUTSIDE ROOM 2436

In shifts on March 27-28, 2019, several hundred student volunteers will construct a border wall map on a blank wall space on the second floor of Mason Hall. The map will show the death locations of 3000 migrants. Toe tags will be hand-filled out and plotted on a giant grid, representing recovered bodies from the Arizona desert. Please contact jpdeleon@umich.edu if you are interested in being involved with the installation. The exhibit will remain in Mason Hall through the first week of April 2019.

Screen preview followed by a panel Q&A: A documentary on the work of Jason De León
MARCH 28, 4 PM, ANGELL HALL, AUDITORIUM A

Join us for a test screening of a documentary about the work of Jason De León and the Undocumented Migration Project. This film focus on clandestine migration from Central America and the North American Migrant Trail.

Panelists: RAÚL O. PAZ PASTRANA (Director, Producer, Cinematographer); JASON DE LEÓN (Producer, Advisor); JOHN A. DOERING-WHITE (Field Producer, Advisor and Sound)

Round-table: Exploring Border Security and Migration in 2019
MARCH 29, 12-2 PM, ANGELL HALL, AUDITORIUM B

We will discuss the realities currently experienced by migrants along the US/Mexico border and the history of America’s border security paradigm known as “Prevention Through Deterrence.” Given the heightened discussion in recent months about the supposed dangers posed by migrants and the potential role that a border wall would play in securing America’s southern geopolitical boundary, this roundtable seeks to facilitate an open and frank discussion about what migration currently looks like, who is migrating, and why. In addition to facilitating a conversation about the lives of migrants, our panelists will also discuss the important roles of history, storytelling, art, and film in the telling and (re) presentation of nuanced information about America’s current border crisis. Of particular interest is how the panelists seek to tell new and impactful stories about about a social process that has a deep history and often overdetermined by simplistic tropes such as the “noble migrant” and “foreign invader.”

Moderator: DANIEL NEMSER, Romance Languages and Literatures

Panelists: JASON DE LEÓN, Anthropology, Director of Hostile Terrain Exhibition; LUCY CAHILL, Curator of Hostile Terrain Exhibition; RAÚL O. PAZ PASTRANA, Filmmaker, Director of Border South film; JOHN A. DOERING-WHITE, Anthropology and Social Work

she was here, once (March 29, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875139@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

This documentary is part of Traveling Film South Asia 2018.

"No one is safe in this city. Those who think otherwise are living in a fool's paradise", says Perween's best friend and colleague Anwar Rashid as he navigates the chaotic roads of Karachi. An architect and urban planner, Perween Rahman dedicated her life for the poor of Pakistan. She was shot dead by armed assailants on her way home in March 2013. When she joined the Karachi based Orangi Pilot Project, founded by Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan, Orangi's lanes were full of filth and choking gutters. Back in the early 80s, the people of Orangi, most of them migrants from India and Bangladesh, were taking their own steps to improve sanitation. Dr. Khan assigned Perween the task of developing a low cost sanitation model for Orangi. Perween's pioneering work in Orangi led her on a collision course with the various mafias in the city. She surveyed the water supply to Karachi and pinpointed locations from where water is being stolen from the bulk supply lines. She mapped and documented Karachi's informal settlements to provide the poor security against land grabbers. Perween had an alternate vision for the development of Karachi. "Development doesn't come from concrete. Development is not five star hotels and mega road projects. What we need is human development."

About the Director:

She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology. After a brief stint doing laboratory research on the structure of proteins at the Tufts University Department of Biochemistry, she moved back to the city by the sea, Karachi. While in college, she co-produced and directed Dispatches from the Loo, a feature film about a love triangle shot entirely in a loo. Her short film Piano premiered at the vintage 3rd Kara Film Festival. Her other short films include Makhan Toast, Time's fun when you're having files and Aik tha jin.

​Gould and Rush have been performing for about two decades with musicians, physicists, film-makers, and dancers—all over the world, including Japan and Sweden.  They are both improvisers and composers and enjoy responding spontaneously to visual stimuli, in this case the current exhibits at UMMA.  They are both Jazz musicians as well as trained classical musicians, and they harness those influences and energies into a vital, audience-relatable performance.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

From Cannes and Telluride nominee Ewa Banaszkiewicz and Mateusz Dymek comes a fiction film that takes the form of a first-time filmmaker’s documentary. MY FRIEND THE POLISH GIRL (87 min., 2018) borrows from cinema verite and video bloggers to create a rare naturalism in style and performance. The fiction film watches as an experimental documentary told through the eyes (and lens) of amateur filmmaker Katie: an American rich kid following Alicja, an erratic unemployed Polish actress. Set in a post-Brexit-vote London, Katie’s colonising, disruptive presence in Alicja’s life mirrors the treatment of migrants in the UK: welcomed, used, then discarded. A raw, sexual, and visually brash film exploring the abusive power and control over someone’s intimacy. Directed by Ewa Banaszkiewicz.

Founded in 1963, the Ann Arbor Film Festival is internationally recognized as a premier forum showcasing the most creative and unique films of today’s preeminent moving image artists who cross boundaries, defy expectations, and experiment with concepts and techniques. The six-day festival presents 40 programs with more than 200 films from over 20 countries of all lengths and genres.

Skin Stories: Tess of the D’Urbervilles + Under the Skin (April 2, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62158 62158-15304540@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 2, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

Please join the Nineteenth Century Forum for a public lecture given by Alicia Christoff, Assistant Professor of English at Amherst College.

It may seem strange to pair Jonathan Glazer’s unsettling science fiction film Under the Skin (2013), about an alien inhabiting the body of a woman (played by Scarlett Johannson), with Thomas Hardy’s much more terrestrial Tess of the D’Urbervilles (1891). This talk, however, brings the film and novel together to show that Tess too is a skin story: a story of “beautiful feminine tissue,” bodily surfaces, phenomenological sensation, the male gaze, female agency, embodiment, and their violation – and an implicit story of racialization as well. The talk builds on Kaja Silverman’s foundational essay on female subjectivity and specularity in Tess by testing it against Under the Skin, which I argue eerily re-echoes many of the Victorian novel’s central images and tropes. More largely, I am interested in how the act of pairing Victorian and modern texts can provide Victorian studies scholars ways of engaging new work in critical theory – here, recent theorizations of race, blackness, and visuality – that is sometimes felt to be debarred by our objects of study.

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

The first railway line in Thailand was inaugurated in 1893 - a sign of progress and prosperity. Shot over eight years on every active line of the country's railway system, this extraordinary documentary offers an unprecedented immersion into the country’s past and present. While the camera mixes with the passengers as if it itself were one of them, Railway Sleepers skillfully collapses its massive trove of footage to simulate a two-day, two-night journey through the country.

Amidst this constant bustle, Railway Sleepers emerges as a contemplative portrait of this ever-shifting country as well as a fascinating illustration of the powerful economic and psychological role the railway system played in its history.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Services for Students with Disabilities

Free Admission! First 100 viewers receive a free small popcorn and small drink voucher!

On April 8, 2019, the University of Michigan will take part in The Rebound’s campaign to create more inclusion in society. The acclaimed film The Rebound (76 mins) offers an insider’s perspective to adapted sports and the world of disability as it follows the underdog journey of the Miami Heat Wheels wheelchair basketball team in their quest for their first NWBA National Championship. The cameras don’t stop when the players leave the court: the film follows the athletes through daily life with a disability as they reach for new heights.

The film has been an official selection at more than twenty film festivals and fifty special screenings, received numerous awards, and has been piloted successfully in schools and university research studies. Critics say, “Here is a rare breed of documentary that often uses images instead of words to tell its story.” – Miami Herald and “you’ll never think about disabilities the same way again.” – No Film School.

The purpose of this event is to foster meaningful discussion around inclusion, celebrate the power of the thriving human spirit, and introduce the growing adaptive sports programming occurring at The University of Michigan, because #itsallabouthowyourebound.

Featuring a Q&A session with Ryan Martin, moderated by Dr. Feranmi Okanlami following the film.

The Wrong Man: Detective Mystery on Film (April 9, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58962 58962-14628125@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The innocent man (or woman) wrongly suspected of a crime, who must become the “detective” to exonerate or even save him/herself from danger. It’s a detective mystery genre used to great effect by film-makers over the years, primarily Alfred Hitchcock. We’ll watch three examples from Hitchcock to see how he perfected this form through the years, and then watch two other more modern adaptations. Can they live up to Hitch’s model?

Instructor George Ferrell is a mystery fan who has led three previous mystery film study groups. These sessions for those 50 and above meet on Tuesdays (and one Wednesday on May 8th) from 1:30-4:30. No session May 7.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

CSAS Lecture Series | Film’s Mise-en-Scène as Labor’s Social Space (April 12, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52923 52923-13148783@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 12, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Cinema’s heterogeneous artifactual status—as a regulated and profit-making commodity, technological apparatus, representational medium and employment opportunity—links the changing look of contemporary Hindi cinema’s mise-en-scène to the current commodification of land and leisure, the technologization of environment, and the shifting social range of Bollywood’s workers in globalizing India. Conceiving of filmed space as a tensile relationship between a film’s onscreen space and its defining social spaces, which together constitute a film’s visual appearance and its institutional materiality, I look at the ways in which Bollywood’s backgrounds register India’s politico-economic transitions. The composition and appearance of a film’s backgrounds encode socio-economic histories of India’s transition from an era of economic protectionism to the current phase of privatization and the commodification of everyday life. Based on my interviews with professionals who work on producing Hindi cinema’s locations and backgrounds, conducted in the months leading up to the national elections that put Narendra Modi in power in 2014, this talk proposes a spatial film historiography to account for the complex spatialities of a media form and society, when both are in transition.

Priya Jaikumar is Associate Professor at the Division of Cinema and Media Studies in the School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Her talk will draw on her forthcoming book, Where Histories Reside: India as Filmed Space, in production with Duke University Press.

2017 | 137 Minutes | Jong-bin Yoon

Free | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles

"Based on the testimony of infamous South Korean spy “Black Venus,” who once infiltrated the highest ranks of North Korean leadership, Yoon Jong-bin’s “The Spy Gone North” recounts a tortuous operation that’s more fascinating and far-fetched than many fictional espionage yarns. Instead of the usual dose of action and suspense one expects of this genre, watching this dense 140-minute political drama unfold is like fumbling through a long tunnel that’s nonetheless worth it when the ray of light emerges at the end. Though nowhere near as crowd-pleasing as the recent espionage action-fantasy “Steel Rain,” this well-crafted work deserves to be seen for its thorough account of intricate workings of secret service and political skullduggery." - Maggie Lee, Variety

This documentary is part of Traveling Film South Asia 2018.

Rasan Piya is a documentary on the life of renowned Hindustani classical vocalist, Ustad Abdul Rashid Khan, who represented the 16th generation of Miyan Tansen's lineage.

He continued not just to compose, but also to teach, travel and perform across all of India till he lived. He passed away recently, on 18th February 2016 at the age of 107 years. His story is that of an extraordinary musician, poet and teacher; of someone who has not only preserved but also added much to an ancient Indian art form; of a brave man who overcame his physical limitations to create beautiful music and inspire a whole generation of musicians and music lovers.

About the Director:
Writer, director Niharika Popli, after graduating in Engineering from University of Delhi in 2010, worked with a child NGO in Delhi, directing plays, writing, telling stories and teaching. The purity of Ustad Abdul Rashid Khan music and his zest for life inspired her to make this her first feature length documentary.

Deep beneath Earth’s Arctic permafrost, seeds from all over the world are stored in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. For the first time ever, seeds from a major gene bank in Aleppo are now being replicated in the Beqaa Valley.Wild Relatives loosely links together different narratives and biographies, opening a space to reflect on biodiversity, resilience, global justice and climate change, as well as manmade disasters and the ambivalent efforts made to overcome them.

Organized By: Hopwood Awards Program

****This event has been canceled due to changing travel plans. We hope to see you at the 4/18 Hopwood Awards Ceremony instead (Thursday, April 18, 6:00 PM, Rackham Auditorium).****

Please join us in the Hopwood Room for a discussion between essayists Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan. This lunchtime event will be catered; food will be available at 11:30, and the discussion will start at noon.

Hilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town,’ he became a staff writer in 1994, theatre critic in 2002, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week, he brings to the magazine a rigorous, sharp, and lyrical perspective on acting, playwriting, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance, music, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director, its author, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre, race, class, sexuality, and identity in America. Als is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University, Wesleyan, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.

Aisha Sabatini Sloan was born and raised in Los Angeles. Her writing about race and current events is often coupled with analysis of art, film and pop culture. She studied English Literature at Carleton College and went on to earn an MA in Cultural Studies and Studio Art from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Arizona. Her essay collection, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White was published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. Her most recent essay collection, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit, was just chosen by Maggie Nelson as the winner of the 1913 Open Prose Contest and will be published in 2017. She is currently a Helen Zell Visiting Professor in Creative Nonfiction at the University of Michigan.

she was here, once (April 22, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875213@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 22, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Location:
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

Since 2016, the FTVM 236 course at the University of Michigan has used audiovisual essay assignments on as large a scale as at any other institution in the world. More than one hundred students who enrolled in FTVM 236 during the winter 2019 term created a series of audiovisual essays as part of their work for the course. This final event showcases the hard work, critical acumen, and creativity that went into their final capstone projects, in which each student made an original critical argument in audiovisual form about a selected film or television episode that was studied in the course. Winners in a number of categories will be selected by a vote of the enrolled students in attendance.
Join us for this celebration of outstanding undergraduate work!

Organized By: Judaic Studies

In honor of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day
The new documentary, Who Will Write Our History, about the secret archive of the Warsaw Ghetto, will have a community screening April 29, at 7:30 at the Michigan Theater.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Jeffrey Veidlinger, Genevieve Zubrzycki, and facilitated by Sarah Raful Whinston

Who Will Write Our History, based on Samuel Kassow’s book, is about historian Emanuel Ringelblum, who gathered a secret band of journalists, scholars, and artists imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto to collect and record the story of the war from the Jewish point of view. Known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, their goal was to defy their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon – the truth. They risked everything so that their archive would survive, even if they did not.

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

True to Life: Film Director Nancy Savoca’s Quest for Authenticity (May 9, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63404 63404-15669555@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, May 9, 2019 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Filmmaker Nancy Savoca aims to be as authentic as possible. Her films are brilliant, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters, typically women, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.

Savoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director, producer, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library. Her archive represents nearly three decades of indie filmmaking, and includes notes, notebooks, photos, and script drafts.

One of the leading voices of specialty cinema, Nancy Savoca hit a home run with her first film, True Love, in 1989 when it won at the Sundance Fim Festival. Since then her character-driven films have earned critical acclaim and respect for bringing working women and ethnic diversity to the forefront of cinematic representation. Join the University of Michigan Library as we celebrate the opening of Savoca's archive as part of the Screen Arts Mavericks & Makers collection.

All symposium sessions are free and open to the public, but attendees must purchase tickets to view Cinetopia films.

she was here, once (May 13, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875216@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, May 13, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Filmmaker Nancy Savoca aims to be as authentic as possible. Her films are brilliant, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters, typically women, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.

Savoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director, producer, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library. Her archive represents nearly three decades of indie filmmaking, and includes notes, notebooks, photos, and script drafts.

In another time and place, where people barely communicate and an impending apocalypse is in the air, lone drifter Mono makes an odyssey to experience mysterious rock star Blitz’s final cosmic performance out in the Big White Nothing, a desert surrounding the city. Here, people escape from reality, and each other, through music. A constant companion in their headphones is Radio, nihilistic DJ of radio station FONOTUNE, playing his own joyous soundtrack to destruction! On his journey, Mono shares fleeting connections with a gang of strangers: Teen-hooker Stereo, lo-fi cowboy Analog, and the sassy Bubblegum. Their paths finally collide in an audiovisual showdown with the mythical musician many thought dead or long-gone.

In snowbound Tokamachi, Japan, teenaged Akio Sakurai took refuge in his room, escaping to another world with a pair of headphones and a pile of Led Zeppelin records. Moving to Tokyo, Akio worked as a kimono salesman by day, but by night became "Mr. Jimmy," adopting the guitar chops and persona of Jimmy Page. For 35 years, Akio recreated vintage Zeppelin concerts note-for-note in small Tokyo clubs, until the “real” Jimmy Page stopped by one night, and Akio’s life changed forever. Inspired by Mr. Page’s ovation, Akio quits his “salary man” job, leaving behind his family to move to Los Angeles and join “Led Zepagain.” Soon cultures clash, and Akio’s idyllic vision of America meets with reality.

With special guest appearance by director Peter Dowd at both screenings.

True to Life: Film Director Nancy Savoca’s Quest for Authenticity (May 18, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63404 63404-15669564@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, May 18, 2019 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Filmmaker Nancy Savoca aims to be as authentic as possible. Her films are brilliant, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters, typically women, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.

Savoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director, producer, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library. Her archive represents nearly three decades of indie filmmaking, and includes notes, notebooks, photos, and script drafts.

she was here, once (May 20, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875217@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, May 20, 2019 8:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.
