Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. "Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self" (December 6, 2020 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79248 79248-20241293@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, December 6, 2020 12:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In *Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self*, Detroit artist Sydney G. James brings to the forefront and celebrates the work of Black women. The USPS worker, the artist, the event-planning Zoom mom—the paintings in this exhibition reposition the narrative of black women’s visibility and value. Each portrait honors the individual and collective contributions and labors of Black women, persistent through the pandemics, through police violence, and whether seen or unseen.

With the Gallery closed to the public due to COVID, *Watch Me Work* will be completely visible from the street. Artwork will be hung in the Washington and Thayer-street first floor windows of the Institute for the Humanities, with two additional pieces visible through the gallery window on Thayer in a public celebration of these meaningful human relationships and connections.

This exhibition was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

In *Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self*, Detroit artist Sydney G. James brings to the forefront and celebrates the work of Black women. The USPS worker, the artist, the event-planning Zoom mom—the paintings in this exhibition reposition the narrative of black women’s visibility and value. Each portrait honors the individual and collective contributions and labors of Black women, persistent through the pandemics, through police violence, and whether seen or unseen.

With the Gallery closed to the public due to COVID, *Watch Me Work* will be completely visible from the street. Artwork will be hung in the Washington and Thayer-street first floor windows of the Institute for the Humanities, with two additional pieces visible through the gallery window on Thayer in a public celebration of these meaningful human relationships and connections.

This exhibition was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

In *Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self*, Detroit artist Sydney G. James brings to the forefront and celebrates the work of Black women. The USPS worker, the artist, the event-planning Zoom mom—the paintings in this exhibition reposition the narrative of black women’s visibility and value. Each portrait honors the individual and collective contributions and labors of Black women, persistent through the pandemics, through police violence, and whether seen or unseen.

With the Gallery closed to the public due to COVID, *Watch Me Work* will be completely visible from the street. Artwork will be hung in the Washington and Thayer-street first floor windows of the Institute for the Humanities, with two additional pieces visible through the gallery window on Thayer in a public celebration of these meaningful human relationships and connections.

This exhibition was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Results or Roses: New and Assorted Works is a virtual exhibition by artist and writer Sarah Rose Sharp and part of the Institute for the Humanities' Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded "High Stakes Art" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that, as she explains, "forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual."

Thanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security, it's not open to the general public, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition.

About the Artist

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Location:
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

We will discuss Chapter 3: "Clare's Commonable Plants." Kindly RSVP to Sarah Van Cleve (srvc@umich.edu) to receive the pre-circulated reading materials.

Theresa Kelley's Clandestine Marriage delves into Romantic representations of botanizing culture, exploring in particular the role botany played in larger Romantic-era debates about life and the ability to know, categorize, and depict its various forms. The chapter we will read focuses on the unsettling perspective brought by John Clare's plant poetry; often considered a poet of place and of enclosure, Clare's refusal to use Linnaean plant names is characterized by Kelley as a small act of poetic and quasi-scientific rebellion. Kelley thus links what she calls "Clare's Commonable Plants" and his resistance toward what he saw as the authoritarian Linnaean system to a retroactive resistance to the similarly authoritarian system of enclosure and the damage it wrought on rural communities.

The Clements Bookworm: Art, Food, and the Politics of Race in the Age of American Expansion (January 15, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80391 80391-20713708@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 15, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Still-life paintings of food look innocent at first sight, but were depictions of food merely delicious and pretty pictures to admire? Shana Klein's new book, "The Fruits of Empire," argues otherwise. This book talk will address Klein's research on representations of food to understand how they reflected and shaped conversations about race and national expansion in the United States. She will discuss the paintings, photographs, and silverware objects in the book and ask: Who do images of food serve? And at whose expense? The results are not always delicious.

Dr. Klein, Assistant Professor of Art History at Kent State University, is trained in the history of American art, with sub-specialties in African-American and Native-American art.

This episode was generously sponsored by Duane and Marilyn Kirking.

*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books, articles, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*

Public Monuments and Our Histories: Reframing the Memories of Our Nation (January 18, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80466 80466-20724373@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 18, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Museum of Art

Public monuments, public spaces, and museums shape the shared understanding of our nation’s history. From the removal of Jim Crow-era statues of Confederate leaders in cities across the country to the opening of the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, AL, a dramatic shift in our perceptions and ideas about the complex heritage of our monuments and museums has occurred over the last five years. More recently, the country has considered the role of monuments and the narratives they perpetuate with much greater focus and intensity in light of the protest movements for social justice and against systemic racism that swept the nation in the summer of 2020. In honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, join us for an important discussion with four national experts on the power that monuments and public spaces assert in creating our nation’s stories. Mitch Landrieu, former Mayor of New Orleans; Earl Lewis, founding director of University of Michigan’s Center for Social Solutions; and Kristin Hass, Associate Professor of American Culture, will discuss the crucial role practice and policy play today in shaping our nation’s legacies, in a conversation moderated by Christina Olsen, director of the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art.

From the speakers' bios:

Kristin Ann Hass is an Associate Professor in the Department of American Culture and the Faculty Coordinator of the Humanities Collaboratory at the University of Michigan. She has written two books, Sacrificing Soldiers on the National Mall, a study of militarism, race, war memorials and U.S. nationalism and Carried to the Wall: American Memory and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, an exploration of public memorial practices and the legacies of the Vietnam War. She is at work on her next book, Blunt Instruments: A short field guide to a long history of everyday racist infrastructure in the United States. She lectures, teaches, and writes about nationalism, memory, publics, memorialization, militarization, visual culture and material culture studies. She holds a Ph.D. in American studies and has worked in a number of historical museums, including the National Museum of American History. She was also the co-founder and Associate Director of Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life, a national consortium of educators and activists dedicated to campus-community collaborations.

Mitch Landrieu was the 61st Mayor of New Orleans (2010-2018). When he took office, the city was still recovering from Hurricane Katrina and in the midst of the BP Oil Spill.  Under Landrieu's leadership, New Orleans is widely recognized as one of the nation’s great comeback stories.

In 2015, Landrieu was named “Public Official of the Year” by Governing, and in 2016 was voted “America’s top turnaround mayor” in a Politico survey of mayors. He gained national prominence for his powerful decision to take down four Confederate monuments in New Orleans, which also earned him the prestigious John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award. In his New York Times best-selling book, In the Shadow of Statues: A White Southerner Confronts History, Landrieu recounts his personal journey confronting racism, and tackles the broader history of slavery, race relations, and institutional inequalities that still plague America.

He recently launched the E Pluribus Unum Fund, which will work to bring people together across the South around the issues of race, equity, economic opportunity and violence. Prior to serving as Mayor, Landrieu served two terms as lieutenant governor and 16 years in the state legislature. He also served as President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

Noted social historian, award-winning author, and educational leader, Earl Lewis, is the founding director of the University of Michigan Center for Social Solutions. Also the Thomas C. Holt Distinguished University Professor of History, Afroamerican and African Studies, and public policy, Lewis is president emeritus of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (2013-18), one of the premier philanthropies supporting the arts, humanities, and higher education. At Michigan, Lewis and colleagues in the center are addressing four core areas of social concern: diversity and race, slavery and its aftermath, water and security, and the dignity of labor in an automated world. Prior to returning to Michigan and before leading the Mellon Foundation, he served as the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at Emory University as well as the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of History and African American Studies (2004-2012). Lewis was previously on the faculty at the University of Michigan (1989-2004) and the University of California at Berkeley (1984-1989). In addition to professorial roles and titles (Robin D.G. Kelley and Elsa Barkley Brown Collegiate Professor), he served Michigan as Vice Provost and Dean of the Rackham School of Graduate Studies (1998-2004).

As a scholar and leader in higher education and philanthropy, he has examined and addressed critical questions for our society including the role of race in American history, diversity, equity and inclusion, graduate education, humanities scholarship, and universities and their larger communities. A frequent lecturer, he has authored or edited nine books, scores of essays, articles and comments, and along with Robin D.G. Kelley served as general editor of the eleven-volume Young Oxford History of African Americans. He currently partners with Nancy Cantor in editing the Our Compelling Interests book series. That effort, published in partnership with Princeton University Press, investigates how diversity pairs with democracy to enhance the likelihood of shared prosperity. A member of numerous boards of directors or trustees, he was an Obama administration appointee to the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity, and is outgoing chair of the board of regents at Concordia College-Moorhead, vice chair of the board of the Educational Testing Service, and a past president of the Organization of American Historians.

Christina Olsen is the director of the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art and co-director of the University of Michigan Arts Initiative. Before coming to Michigan she served as the Class of 1956 Director at the Williams College Museum of Art. Olsen has more than 25 years of leadership experience in museums and foundations, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum and Getty Foundation, and the Portland Art Museum. She is a national leader in debates about the changing role of campus art museums and their relationships with the public and campus, and has lectured frequently on the topic. Olsen has curated and produced many exhibitions and programs, including most recently Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s, at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art. Olsen is on the board of the Association of Art Museum Directors and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Williams College. She received a BA in history of art, with honors, from the University of Chicago, and an MA and PhD in art history from the University of Pennsylvania.  

This event is a collaboration of UMMA, the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, and the Democracy & Debate Theme Semester.

To Travel a Different Road: The Translation of African-American Poetry into Yiddish, 1925-1936 (January 21, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80077 80077-20556854@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 21, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

In 1936, a Yiddish-language anthology Neger-Dikhtung in Amerike (Negro-Poetry in America) was published in Moscow. It was compiled and translated by the Kiev-born, American educated Robert Magidoff, and remains to this day the most extensive corpus of African-Diasporic poetry in Yiddish translation. The presentation will examine the anthology’s position amongst different notions of “the folk” in Soviet Yiddish ethnography and folkloristics, the writings of James Weldon Johnson and W.E.B. Du Bois, with whom Magidoff corresponded, and the Yiddish modernist poetry of Shmuel Halkin, who edited the book series in which the anthology appears. When placed alongside DuBois's and others' visits to the Soviet Union in the 1930s, the appearance of African-American poetry in Yiddish translation shows how a transatlantic Jewish avant-garde interpreted and embedded itself within Soviet-African-American contacts in between the Two World Wars. Magidoff served as a Soviet correspondent for NBC and the Associated Press from 1935.
He was accused of espionage and expelled from the USSR in 1948. In 1963 he defended a PhD in Russian literature at the University of Michigan Slavic Department.

Breanca Merritt is a Diversity Scholar at the University of Michigan and founding director of the Center for Research on Inclusion and Social Policy (CRISP) and clinical assistant professor in the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. In this role, she and her team produce and disseminate research to lay audiences about complex social issues and inequitable outcomes through policy briefs and multidisciplinary research experiences for students with community organizations. Dr. Merritt’s work aims to inform both local stakeholders and academic audiences. Her applied, community-engaged research analyzes local trends and evaluates programs related to social service provision, equitable access and experiences, and systemic sources of poverty. Her academic work assesses how legislation and organizational practices contribute to disparate outcomes, especially for racial/ethnic minorities. Topics addressed by these projects include housing and homelessness, family financial stability, and criminal justice, among others. https://www.in.gov/fssa/thehub/4602.htm

Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Zoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98985906314.

You are invited to the new DSI’s research group, “The Digital Underground: Theory+Practice” (DIG-undr). "DIG-undr" is a project of the Tangent Lab, an open-ended research collective founded by Imani Cooper Mkandawire (DSI+Comparative Literature) and Irina Aristarkhova (DSI+Stamps School) to imagine and engender inclusive machines. Our group seeks to mine affinities and tensions between digital theory and various forms of practice (industry, art, design, activism), as well as the academy and its “outside” (the publics, the users, digital infrastructure).

The group will meet once a month in January, February, March and April 2021. This is an open research group and our first meeting will be on January 28, 2021, 2-4 pm on Zoom. At this first meeting we will discuss pressing research challenges related to theory+practice configurations, unique intellectual community around theory+practice collaborations at the DSI, and brainstorm a collective project. In Winter 2021, we are particularly interested in digital theory around AI, data science, machine learning, social robots, VR/AR and art, architecture, design and activism (democracy, racial justice, feminism, social change).

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

The study of modern Jewish cultural production in the United States has focused on the East and West coasts, particularly on the “center” of New York City. This Mellon-Sawyer seminar spotlights the Midwest as an interconnected region where Jewish writing and art flourished, addressing pressing social and political issues: urban sprawl, industrialization and worker abuse, gender, and racial inequalities.

The participants in the seminar, hailing from Midwestern institutions, will be presenting their research on Yiddish writers in urban contexts such as Detroit or Chicago, while also asking how might we reassess the landscape of Jewish American culture in view of these newly discussed materials? What contributions did Midwestern artists or those who observed this region make within the field of Yiddish letters? What role did translation and multilingualism play in Jewish writing about Midwestern society and how can we translate twentieth-century Yiddish literature for a contemporary audience?

Jewish Multilingualism in the Midwest: Yiddish Translations of Urban Experience (February 5, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/77490 77490-19875788@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 5, 2021 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

The study of modern Jewish cultural production in the United States has focused on the East and West coasts, particularly on the “center” of New York City. This Mellon-Sawyer seminar spotlights the Midwest as an interconnected region where Jewish writing and art flourished, addressing pressing social and political issues: urban sprawl, industrialization and worker abuse, gender, and racial inequalities.

The participants in the seminar, hailing from Midwestern institutions, will be presenting their research on Yiddish writers in urban contexts such as Detroit or Chicago, while also asking how might we reassess the landscape of Jewish American culture in view of these newly discussed materials? What contributions did Midwestern artists or those who observed this region make within the field of Yiddish letters? What role did translation and multilingualism play in Jewish writing about Midwestern society and how can we translate twentieth-century Yiddish literature for a contemporary audience?

MIDAS Seminar Series and ICPSR Co-present: Misty Heggeness, Research Economist, US Census Bureau (February 8, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81038 81038-20838680@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 8, 2021 4:00pm

I examine the impact of the COVID-19 shock on parents’ labor supply during the initial stages of the pandemic. Using difference-in-difference estimation and monthly panel data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), I compare labor market attachment, non-work activity, hours worked, and earnings and wages of those in areas with early school closures and stay-in-place orders with those in areas with delayed or no pandemic closures. While there was no immediate impact on detachment or unemployment, mothers with jobs in early closure states were 68.8 percent more likely than mothers in late closure states to have a job but not be working as a result of early shutdowns. There was no effect on working fathers or working women without school age children. Mothers who continued working increased their work hours relative to comparable fathers; this effect, however, appears entirely driven by a reduction in fathers’ hours worked. Overall, the pandemic appears to have induced a unique immediate juggling act for working parents of school age children. Mothers took a week of leave from formal work; fathers working fulltime, for example, reduced their hours worked by 0.53 hours over the week. While experiences were different for mothers and fathers, each are vulnerable to scarring and stunted opportunities for career growth and advancement due to the pandemic.

Misty Heggeness is Principal Economist and Senior Advisor for Evaluations and Experiments at the U.S. Census Bureau. Dr. Heggeness has a PhD from the University of Minnesota. She has worked as a research economist in the U.S. federal government since 2010 and also held positions at the National Institutes of Health and the US Department of Labor. She teaches a course on policy analysis and evaluation at the University of Maryland. Her research focuses on survey response quality, poverty & inequality, gender, and the high skilled workforce and has appeared in outlets like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Nature, and Science. At the Census Bureau, she leads a high-profile initiative to integrate the Census Bureau’s major frames and co-leads a 2020 administrative records census project.

ere.

The University of Virginia—designed by Thomas Jefferson and now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—was built and maintained by 4,000 or more enslaved men, women, and children. UVA’s powerful new Memorial to Enslaved Laborers honors the lives, labors, and resistance of the enslaved people who lived and worked at UVA at some point between 1817 and 1865.

This interview with members of the memorial’s design team will explore the history, form, and process behind the creation of the memorial. Panelists: Mabel Wilson, Meejin Yoon, Eric Höweler, and Eto Otitigbe, with U-M's Kristin Hass as interviewer. 

~   Eric Höweler, AIA, LEED AP,  is an associate professor in architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he teaches lecture courses and design studios with a focus on building technologies/integration. He is a co-founding principal of  Höweler + Yoon Architecture LLP, a research-driven, multidisciplinary design studio working between architecture, art, and media. HYA has a reputation for work that is technologically and formally innovative, and deeply informed by human experience, and a sensitivity to tectonics. 

Eto Otitigbe is a polymedia artist whose interdisciplinary practice investigates the intersections of race, power, and technology. With history as the foundation for exploration, Otitigbe sets alternative narratives into motion; creating spaces for people to experience a unique mixture of concepts. Otitigbe lives and works in Brooklyn, NY where is an Assistant Professor and Head of Sculpture in the Art Department of Brooklyn College.

Mabel O. Wilson is the Nancy and George Rupp Professor of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, a professor in African American and African diasporic studies, director of the Institute for Research in African American Studies, and co-director of the Global Africa Lab at Columbia University. She is trained in architecture and American studies, two fields that inform her work. Through her transdisciplinary practice Studio &, Wilson makes visible and legible the ways that anti-black racism shapes the built environment along with the ways that blackness creates spaces of imagination, refusal, and desire. 

J. Meejin Yoon, AIA FAAR, is an architect, designer, and educator, whose projects and research investigate the intersections between architecture, technology, and the public realm. Prior to joining the faculty at AAP, Yoon was at MIT for 17 years and served as the head of the Department of Architecture from 2014–18. Yoon is cofounding principal of Höweler and Yoon Architecture. 

Kristin Hass is associate professor of American culture and faculty coordinator for the Humanities Collaboratory at the University of Michigan. She is the author of Carried to the Wall: American Memory and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1998) and Sacrificing Soldiers on the National Mall (2013). Her fields of study include visual culture, material culture, museum studies, memory, and 20th-century cultural history.

This is the first in a series of annual Art and Activism lectures as part of High Stakes Art, a project designed to enhance exhibitions and programming at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. High Stakes Art and this lecture are made possible by a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Presented by the Institute for the Humanities and the U-M Arts Initiative.

The Future of Art Series is hosted by the U-M Arts Initiative as part of a two-year startup phase.

Tour and Themes of “No, not even for a picture” online exhibit (February 11, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81663 81663-20941448@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In this online presentation, Lindsey Willow Smith and Veronica Cook Williamson will provide an introductory glimpse into the Clements’ new online exhibit: 'No, not even for Picture': Re-Examining the Native Midwest and Tribes’ Relations to the History of Photography. This exhibit seeks to re-historicize and re-humanize the contexts, subjects, and circumstances leading to the production of the Richard Pohrt Jr. Collection of Native American Photography. Using examples from the exhibit to speak about their motivations and goals as co-curators, the two will touch on themes of photography as a tool of settler colonialism, photographic assertions of sovereignty and agency, and raise questions about (in)visibility and voice. They will also discuss how the transition to remote work affected the exhibit design and their approaches.

Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

This open-ended discussion forum will center around various “keywords” of your choosing. We invite you all to contribute a keyword or theme that you are currently thinking about in relation to your own research. Our goal with this virtual event is to think collectively, form connections, and inspire creative directions.

You do not need to come prepared with a presentation, but merely an idea, thought, or question centered around your chosen word. Equally, there is no requirement that you come prepared to discuss a specific keyword if you would prefer to attend as a listener/respondent.

For inspiration, you might turn to the Victorian Literature and Culture 'Keywords' double-issue containing hundreds of mini-essays on keywords.

Join us for Portraits of Lincoln on Tuesday, February 16, from 2:30-3:30pm to learn about the consequences of early reading, the boyhood of Lincoln, and the politics of education and self-improvement of one of our most revered presidents. We'll be hearing from:

>>> Dave Choberka, Ph.D. Andrew W. Mellon Curator for University Learning and Programs at the University of Michigan Museum of Art;

>>> Julia Mickenberg, Professor of American Studies, University of Texas at Austin

>>> Liz Goodenough, RC lecturer in Arts & Ideas in the Humanities

In course Children Under Fire: Narratives of Sustainability (RCHUMS 337 / ENVIRON 337) taught by Liz Goodenough, students learn that literature for and about children, from the earliest folk tales, has always addressed life and death. In diverse genres, from horror story to high adventure, from rags to riches, young heroes sustain themselves in the face of adult decisions regarding scarcity (food and water), violence, illness, and abuse. This environmental humanities seminar examines how early reading mediated crises challenging the future lives of US Presidents and First Ladies--from Andrew Jackson and James Garfield to Eleanor Roosevelt and Barack Obama.

The Clements Bookworm: "Framing Identity" Online Exhibit (February 19, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80779 80779-20791332@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 19, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

We live in a world that is influenced by visual imagery. A single photograph can incorporate our joy, and accomplishments, as well as our challenges and defeats. As the most photographed person of his time, Frederick Douglass understood how to utilize photography as a tool for empowered self-representation. His lectures inspired others to participate in creating their own images that captured beauty and resilience within the Black Experience. This Bookworm talk explores photographic examples of Black empowerment from the "Framing Identity" online exhibit (clements.umich.edu/framing-identity) through a conversation with the Clements Library’s Joyce Bonk Fellow, Samantha Hill, and Graphics Curator Clayton Lewis. They will take a closer look at photography and literature in the Clements’ collections to explore how artists and intellectuals present themselves through the creative process.

*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books, articles, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*

This episode was generously sponsored by an anonymous Clements Supporter.

.

Artists integrate humour in their works of art in ways that can be twisted, dark, political, silly, nonsensical, weird and dry. In this tour, you will join Isabelle Marie Anne Gillet, UMMA’s Stenn Fellow in Public and Digital Humanities and Museum Pedagogy, to explore and discuss how artists use humor as a tool to undermine the superficial meaning of what is depicted and subvert or even confuse expectations. We might even laugh.

This is one of five themed tours offered as part of UMMA + Chill during the month of February. Each theme will be accompanied by a customized beverage suggestion created by local mixologists. Availability is first-come first serve and may be full. Click here to see all of the Group Chat events.

Registration opens on February 3 at 9am. You may invite as many friends and family members to join as you'd like, but please have your list of guests ready to provide upon registration. We need their names and email addresses to send them their private log-in information. 

A list of beverage ingredients for each tour will be provided in advance so you can acquire items prior to your scheduled tour.
