Mary Sibande (July 18, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/84306 84306-21623059@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, July 18, 2021 9:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Sophie/Elsie is part of a series in which South African artist Mary Sibande (b. 1982) explores her family’s history. Three generations of Sibande women were employed as domestic workers in Apartheid South Africa, which Sibande references through Sophie’s blue and white uniform—a dress synonymous with the profession there. Though not quite part of the born-free generation (the name given to children born after the start of Nelson Mandela’s presidency in 1994), Sibande was able to dream of life choices that were inaccessible to her ancestors. These dreams are acted out by her alter-ego Sophie, a life-size fiberglass figure cast in the artist’s own likeness. Sibande created Sophie/Elsie in 2009 in honor of her great-grandmother, who was given the Western name Elsie because her masters couldn’t be bothered to learn her African name. While closing her eyes, Sophie imagines herself as an orchestra conductor, as a superhero, as a businesswoman. Here, her maid’s uniform transforms into the dress of a Victorian queen, complete with billowing cape and dramatic train. 

At a time when indoor visits are limited, UMMA is proud to be able to share Sophie/Elsie with our community. Eventually, she will take center stage in a reinstallation of the permanent African galleries, opening in fall 2021. The reinstallation will feature UMMA’s historical collection of African art, as well as recent acquisitions of contemporary artworks from artists based in Africa and in the diaspora. 

This museum purchase was made possible by Joseph and Annette Allen.

Challenge the Idle State (November 17, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88666 88666-21656590@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 17, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Kinesiology

Physical activity is fundamental to children’s growth, development, and social emotional health. School closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, eliminated many opportunities for youth to engage in structured exercise as many children lacked spaces to exercise or play sports in their neighborhoods. Children’s limited interactions with peers and lack of school support services to help them cope with the pandemic also lead to significant increases in child stress and anxiety levels.

Presenters: Rebecca Hasson, PhD, Amy Wassmann, MSW, and Lisa Jo Gagliardi, MPA, EQAC.

Suitable for PreK-2nd grade.

The state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater at the U-M Museum of Natural History transports visitors beyond distant stars and deep into the ocean from the comfort of reclining seats. Tickets $8. Tickets are available on the day of the show at the Museum Store.
The planetarium is operating at less than 50% capacity to maximize distancing between viewers. As with all University of Michigan buildings, masks are required.

How to Become a Fossil
Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized! How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil?
