The killing of George Floyd, in the wake of the horrific and obscene history of the killings of unarmed black people by the police, has focused attention like never before on the systemic anti-black racism of the criminal-legal system in the United States. To be sure, the massive expansion and militarization of policing and incarceration are in some ways of comparatively recent origin. Yet they also have a much deeper origin in, and are inextricably connected to, a longer history of the judicial and extra-judicial violence against black people in the continent. The racist inequities of the criminal-legal system, indeed, are not a bug, but a feature.

Our panel of experts, scholars of the United States at the University of Michigan, will help us explore, beyond the headlines, the reach of the long arm of the carceral state in society as well as the challenges and opportunities that have been thrown up by the contemporary protests against the systemic violence of the state. The stakes for understanding the working of the carceral state are documented by the Documenting Criminalization and Confinement project of the University of Michigan’s Carceral State Project. However, the momentous protests against anti-Black racism as well as the broad public support they have received both within the United States and across the world—the clamor heard round the world—have also created a novel opportunity for implementing and imagining futures beyond a blatantly rigged carceral framework.

Panelists:
• Melissa Burch, Anthropology, University of Michigan
• Matthew Countryman, Afroamerican and African History, American Culture, History, University of Michigan
• Matthew Lassiter, History, Urban and Regional Planning, University of Michigan
• William D. Lopez, Health Behavior and Health Education, University of Michigan

Moderator:
• Mrinalini Sinha, History, University of Michigan

This event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

The American National Election Study: History and Insights from Recent Surveys (August 12, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75386 75386-19457966@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, August 12, 2020 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location

Why does America vote as it does on Election Day? Since 1948, the American National Election Studies (ANES) has provided data to inform explanations of election outcomes in the United States. The ANES provides survey data from a nationally representative sample of American adults to give researchers a view of the political world through the eyes of ordinary citizens.

In this ISR Insights talk, Dr. Vincent Hutchings (Professor, Department of Political Science; Research Professor, Center for Political Studies) will discuss the history of ANES and why it remains an essential resource for the social sciences. He will talk about the study’s approach to data collection and instrumentation in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes conducting surveys through a combination of Internet, video, and telephone interviews. Dr. Hutchings will also highlight politically-relevant results from recent studies, including attitudes on the Black Lives Matter movement.

This webinar is part of a continuing series focusing on the research happening at ISR. If there is a topic you would like to see featured or have an idea for a future presentation, please email abeattie@umich.edu. This talk is being recorded and will be shared widely.

ISR Insights Speaker Series - School Mental Health in the Detroit Public Schools Community District

August 25, 11am EST: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98456054707
Robin Jacob, PhD, Co-Director Youth Policy Lab
Elizabeth Koschmann, PhD, TRAILS Program Director

In recent years, rates of child and adolescent mental illness have skyrocketed. Nearly half of adolescents in the United States will experience symptoms of a mental illness before age 18, and one in five will be severely impaired by their symptoms. Among youth ages 10-24, suicide has become the second leading cause of death, killing almost 8,000 young people annually. These problems may be acerbated in urban, high poverty schools. There is evidence of higher rates of both mental illness and self-injury and suicidal behavior in communities of color which is hypothesized to reflect the impact of systemic racism, as well as significant racial disparities in access to high quality health and mental health care. Schools are uniquely positioned to identify and respond to students’ mental health care needs, and to reduce widespread inequities in access to effective prevention and early intervention services. However, only limited data is available on the prevalence and pattern of mental health challenges in urban schools or about the school or district resources available to address those challenges.

This study presents data collected as part of a partnership between TRAILS (Transforming Research into Action to Improve the Lives of Students), the Youth Policy Lab, and the Detroit Public Schools Community District. In 2019, our study team collected survey data from nearly 3,500 DPSCD teachers, administrators, school staff, almost 11,000 students, and 800 families. In this talk, Drs. Robin Jacob and Elizabeth Koschmann will share findings on (1) the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and exposure to traumatic events among students, (2) the degree to which these are associated with school engagement, absences, and other behaviors, and (3) the challenges staff and district administrators face in providing mental health services for their students.

This webinar is part of a continuing series focusing on the research happening at ISR. If there is a topic you would like to see featured or have an idea for a future presentation, please email abeattie@umich.edu. This talk is being recorded and will be shared widely.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

Conceptualizing a digital project so that the research goals guide the technology and project, instead of the other way around can sometimes be difficult. In this workshop we will cover conceptualizing a research project with specific scholastic outcomes, objectives, and deliverables. Then, high-level tasks will be conceptualized and mapped to releases, versions, or editions of the project. Discussed approaches will include how to demonstrate the scholarly rigor of your digital project, accurately credit the labor required of the project at every stage, and provide evidence and metrics for promotion and job dossiers.



Note: This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive an invitation after you register.

Location:
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In this 3-part installation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

At the U-M Museum of Art, massive, quilt-like panels cover 4,452 square feet of the exterior of the building, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

the Penny Stamps Series Facebook.

Our lens on history powerfully influences how we envision and shape the future. Join two of our country's most accomplished storytellers, Ken Burns and Isabel Wilkerson, as they discuss the complexities of the American narrative and how grappling with the past might lead us forward. 

Journalist Isabel Wilkerson was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama in 2016 “for championing the stories of an unsung history.” The first African-American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, her book The Warmth of Other Suns, a sweeping and intimate examination of the Great Migration, won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction. Her new book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, examines the entrenched hierarchies that shape American life. Told through intimate personal narratives and deeply researched history, Wilkerson examines the ties between the American caste system and those in India and Nazi Germany, and points to ways America can move beyond our artificial and destructive human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.

Ken Burns has been making documentary films for over forty years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, he has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including The Civil War; Baseball; Jazz; The War; The National Parks: America’s Best Idea; The Roosevelts: An Intimate History; Jackie Robinson; Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson; The Vietnam War; The Central Park Five; and Country Music. His films have been honored with dozens of major awards, including sixteen Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, two Oscar nominations; and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. His new website UNUM rearranges clips from his past films into playlists to add historical context to the present.

This conversation will be moderated by Lynette Clemetson, Director of Wallace House, Knight-Wallace Fellowships and the Livingston Awards at the University of Michigan. A longtime journalist, she was a correspondent for Newsweek magazine in the U.S. and Asia, a national correspondent for The New York Times, and senior director of strategy and new initiatives at NPR. Wallace House works to sustain and elevate the careers of journalists, foster civic engagement, and uphold the role of a free press in democratic society. 

This event is part of the Democracy & Debate theme semester with support from Wallace House and UMMA.

Location:
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In this 3-part installation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

At the U-M Museum of Art, massive, quilt-like panels cover 4,452 square feet of the exterior of the building, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

In this 3-part installation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

At the U-M Museum of Art, massive, quilt-like panels cover 4,452 square feet of the exterior of the building, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

Building the Archives: Women’s Influence as Librarians, Curators, and Collectors (October 7, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76576 76576-19727087@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 7, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Many institutional histories of rare book and manuscript libraries center on tales of prominent (and typically male) figures - the original collectors, directors, and major donors. But what happens to our understanding of the archive if we shift our perspective to allow for women’s contributions to the library to come to the forefront? Listen to a discussion between Clements Library curators and staff to learn more about how we can achieve this and what it enables.

The Clements Library's Virtual Discover Series: Women's History in the Archives consists of three sessions on consecutive Wednesdays (Sept. 23, Sept. 30, Oct. 7). Please register at myumi.ch/wlnQw

In-Between the World and Dreams (October 8, 2020 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/77738 77738-19909802@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 12:00am
Location:
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In this 3-part installation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

At the U-M Museum of Art, massive, quilt-like panels cover 4,452 square feet of the exterior of the building, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Global and Intercultural Study

Study abroad is not just for juniors. It's not just for language and international studies majors. It's not just for students from certain communities or socioeconomic backgrounds. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you’re studying, a study abroad experience is available to you during your time at Michigan.

Whether you want to develop the skills you’ll need to compete in a global economy, cultivate your language competencies, or build meaningful connections with people from around the world, this is the best time in your life for a global experience.

Studying abroad often proves to be a pivotal experience, but deciding which program is the best fit can be daunting as you consider questions such as: How will this enhance my course of study? When should I go? For how long? Where? Can I afford it? How do I prepare? Will my credits transfer? The CGIS Study Abroad Virtual Fair is the best time to get all of your questions answered!

During the day of the virtual fair, you'll have instant access to academic advisors, education abroad advisors, Office of Financial Aid & LSA Scholarship Office representatives, and program representatives as well as scheduled events throughout the fair!

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Museum Studies Program

This is a conversation where each participant will discuss a different project that they were involved with at The Henry Ford Museum. The presenters are:
- Bradley L. Taylor (Associate Director Emeritus, Museum Studies Program)
- Calder Fong (PhD, Germanic Languages and Literatures)

Taylor's talk showcases Henry Ford’s efforts to preserve historic buildings by moving them from across the country and re-assembling them at Greenfield Village. The stories of three English structures brought to the Village will challenge assumptions about the nature of “originality” and “authenticity.”

Fong will trace the history of an 1887 Crossley Bros. internal combustion engine at The Henry Ford Museum. Along the journey he will discuss Henry Ford as an early pioneer of urbexing and explore the wide range of disciplines that intertwine at this museum of American innovation.

UMMA is wrapped! In-Between The World and Dreams presents an outdoor, public installation at a time when our indoor spaces and opportunity for collective engagement with the arts are limited. As part of the U-M Institute for Humanities led project, IH, UMMA, and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History each presents work from artist Ibrahim Mahama, whose use of decommissioned jute sacks as artistic material celebrates the often-invisible labor of Black and brown people behind global exchange and commerce while acknowledging the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.  

Explore Ibrahim Mahama's outdoor installation with experienced museum docents, who will be standing outside the Frankel Family Wing (weather permitting) to answer questions and provide context for this exciting work. Reminder: Only UM community members (students, staff, and faculty holding an MCard) are allowed inside the museum building during open hours.

Location:
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In this 3-part installation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

At the U-M Museum of Art, massive, quilt-like panels cover 4,452 square feet of the exterior of the building, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

Please join the English Department next Wednesday on Zoom for the second Critical Conversations event of the semester. We have a great lineup of panelists and a very timely issue on the table, and we hope to see many of you there!

Sigrid Anderson | Hui-hui Hu | Silvia Lindtner | M. Remi Yergeau (chair)

Please RSVP by the end of the day on Tuesday to receive the Zoom Link

Sigrid Anderson is the Librarian for English Language and Literature and a lecturer in American Culture. Her research focuses on race and gender in print culture and new media. She is the author of Fictions of Dissent: Reclaiming Authority in Transatlantic Women's Writing of the Late Nineteenth Century (2010), and her current book project focuses on women writers’ use of regional magazines as a space to intervene in racialized land settlement questions in turn of the twentieth-century Los Angeles.

Tung-Hui Hu is the author of three books of poetry, most recently Greenhouses, Lighthouses (2013), and a study of digital culture, A Prehistory of the Cloud (2015). He is a contributor to the upcoming BBC Radio 4 program "Under the Cloud" on October 13. A fellow of the American Academy in Berlin and the NEA, he is an associate professor of English at UM.

Silvia Lindtner (she/her) is Associate Professor at the University of Michigan in the School of Information and Associate Director of the Center for Ethics, Society, and Computing (ESC). Lindtner's research interests include cultures and politics of tech production, labor, industry, and governance. Lindtner draws from more than ten years of multi-sited ethnographic research, with a particular focus on China's shifting place in the political economy of tech innovation. Her book Prototype Nation: China and the Contested Promise of Innovation (Princeton University Press, 2020) demonstrates that the promise of entrepreneurial life influences governance, education, policy, investment, and urban redesign in ways that normalize the persistence of sexism, racism, colonialism, and labor exploitation.

"Critical Conversations" is a monthly lunch series organized by the English Department Associate Chair’s Office. Each Critical Conversations session features panelists who will give flash talks about their current work as related to a broad theme.

Questions? Please contact Torre Puckett (puckettt@umich.edu), Sarah Jane Kerwin (sjkerwin@umich.edu), or Susan Scott Parrish (sparrish@umich.edu)

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities, in collaboration with the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

Curator's Statement:

Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning, mending, and recycling. Things fall apart, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending, begging the question, “What can we do?”

Mahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.

The markings, stitching, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism, commodification, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade, British rule till 1957, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.

Rather than grand gestures, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses.

Mahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life, creating classrooms in old airplanes, a swimming pool for children’s play, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.

In this pivotal year defined by Covid-19, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter, climate change, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis.

Perhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems, not motivated by profit or self-interest, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead, our willingness to do it, and to the mutual space for dreams.

–Amanda Krugliak, arts curator, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams

In-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Detroit.

In-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to further the Institute for the Humanities Gallery’s longtime mission in support of art as social practice.

In this 3-part installation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

At the U-M Museum of Art, massive, quilt-like panels cover 4,452 square feet of the exterior of the building, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities, in collaboration with the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

Curator's Statement:

Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning, mending, and recycling. Things fall apart, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending, begging the question, “What can we do?”

Mahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.

The markings, stitching, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism, commodification, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade, British rule till 1957, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.

Rather than grand gestures, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses.

Mahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life, creating classrooms in old airplanes, a swimming pool for children’s play, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.

In this pivotal year defined by Covid-19, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter, climate change, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis.

Perhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems, not motivated by profit or self-interest, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead, our willingness to do it, and to the mutual space for dreams.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

Are you planning a digital project but don’t know where to start? In this workshop, participants will learn the steps needed to plan a project for success. From identifying the team members and support you will need to formalizing relationships and crediting labor in ethical and fair ways. Instructors will lead participants through the process of writing a flexible project charter including documenting decisions and choices from team member responsibilities to technical needs such as platform choices, project phasing and versioning. Practical and critical considerations will be discussed and covered when writing a project charter, and how a project plan can ease the creation of documentation as well as the grant application process. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a project template and a better understanding of the requirements needed for digital scholarship.

This workshop is part of a series, Digital Scholarship 101. This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modeling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.

UMMA is wrapped! In-Between The World and Dreams presents an outdoor, public installation at a time when our indoor spaces and opportunity for collective engagement with the arts are limited. As part of the U-M Institute for Humanities led project, IH, UMMA, and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History each presents work from artist Ibrahim Mahama, whose use of decommissioned jute sacks as artistic material celebrates the often-invisible labor of Black and brown people behind global exchange and commerce while acknowledging the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.  

Explore Ibrahim Mahama's outdoor installation with UMMA Student Engagement Council members. They will be standing outside the Frankel Family Wing (weather permitting) to answer questions and provide context for this exciting work on a drop-in basis. Reminder: Only UM community members (students, staff, and faculty holding an MCard) are allowed inside the museum building during open hours.

Philippa P.B. Hughes is a social sculptor and creative strategist who produces art-fueled projects that spark humanizing and authentic conversations across political, social, and cultural divides. She is an evangelist for dismantling the polarization industrial complex, one conversation at a time. Hughes has designed and produced hundreds of creative activations since 2007 for curious folks to engage with art and one another in unconventional and meaningful ways. She leads CuriosityConnects.us, a partner in Looking For America, a national series inviting politically diverse guests to break bread and talk to each other face-to-face using art as a starting point for relationship-building conversations. Hughes has engineered numerous public-private collaborations that have been funded by the Kresge Foundation, New American Economy, Center for Inclusion & Belonging, and the DC Office of Planning. She has served as a commissioner on the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities among numerous other boards throughout Washington, D.C., where she is based. Hughes has spoken at TEDxAmericanUniversity, Creative Placemaking Week 2018 in Amsterdam, Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit, TomTom Festival, Smart Growth America’s Intersections. Her work has been featured by CNN, PBS Newshour, CityLab, and The Washington Post, among numerous other media outlets. Her formal training took place at the University of Virginia, which launched her into a six-year legal career that ended with the Washington City Paper declaring 2007 “The Year of Philippa.” Deep curiosity about the world and the people in it provided the education that mattered most.

In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, this event is part of the Democracy & Debate theme semester.

In-Between the World and Dreams (October 18, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/78990 78990-20168501@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 18, 2020 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities, in collaboration with the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

Curator's Statement:

Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning, mending, and recycling. Things fall apart, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending, begging the question, “What can we do?”

Mahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.

The markings, stitching, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism, commodification, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade, British rule till 1957, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.

Rather than grand gestures, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses.

Mahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life, creating classrooms in old airplanes, a swimming pool for children’s play, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.

In this pivotal year defined by Covid-19, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter, climate change, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis.

Perhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems, not motivated by profit or self-interest, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead, our willingness to do it, and to the mutual space for dreams.

–Amanda Krugliak, arts curator, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams

UMMA is wrapped! In-Between The World and Dreams presents an outdoor, public installation at a time when our indoor spaces and opportunity for collective engagement with the arts are limited. As part of the U-M Institute for Humanities led project, IH, UMMA, and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History each presents work from artist Ibrahim Mahama, whose use of decommissioned jute sacks as artistic material celebrates the often-invisible labor of Black and brown people behind global exchange and commerce while acknowledging the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.  

Explore Ibrahim Mahama's outdoor installation with experienced museum docents, who will be standing outside the Frankel Family Wing (weather permitting) to answer questions and provide context for this exciting work. Reminder: Only UM community members (students, staff, and faculty holding an MCard) are allowed inside the museum building during open hours.

In this 3-part installation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

At the U-M Museum of Art, massive, quilt-like panels cover 4,452 square feet of the exterior of the building, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.
