Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. Beautiful By Night (January 20, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90020 90020-21667480@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 20, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

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

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

Prisons and Politics in America (January 20, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672212@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 20, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

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

Museums at Noon (January 24, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90917 90917-21674699@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 24, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Museum Studies Program

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

Beautiful By Night (January 31, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90020 90020-21667491@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 31, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

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

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

Prisons and Politics in America (January 31, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672223@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 31, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

Sadly, it is now the last gay bar in the area. The project captures the performers Donna Personna, Olivia Hart, and Collette LeGrande as they transform at home, backstage, and onstage. It is a candid exploration of aging, identity, and labor.

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

Prisons and Politics in America (February 8, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672231@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Prisons and Politics in America (February 15, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672238@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

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

Carrying the Torch (February 15, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/92511 92511-21691754@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 12:00pm

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

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

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

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

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

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

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

Hey, you. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dutch Studies: A Decolonial Revision (March 2, 2022 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/92935 92935-21698088@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 2, 2022 8:00am

Organized By: University Library

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

About the exhibit:

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

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

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

Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

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

Dutch Studies: A Decolonial Revision (March 8, 2022 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/92935 92935-21698094@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 8, 2022 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

About the exhibit:

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

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

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

Prisons and Politics in America (March 8, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89866 89866-21672259@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 8, 2022 9:00am

Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

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

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

.

Feel Good Friday is a gathering of art and humans.    Join us on the second Friday of each month at the University of Michigan Museum of Art. Looking for a reason to feel good? Let art, music, and culture lift you up. Reconnect and recharge each month at Feel Good Friday.    Free and open to the public. No advance registration required.   March is Feel Good Voices: An evening of spoken word, poetry, music, and drumming to celebrate creative expressions of the African diaspora and the legacy of Michigan artist, educator, and activist Jon Onye Lockard. Visit , UMMA’s newly reinstalled galleries of African art, and meet the powerful work of Jon Onye Lockard alongside Mary Sibande, Jacob Lawrence, Qes Adamu Tesfaw, and more. In partnership and celebration of the African American Cultural and Historical Museum exhibition and the 50th anniversary of the U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, this Feel Good Friday is about coming together during challenging times to lift our voices and honor the people who shape us as individuals and as a community. 

Featuring spoken word artists Debby Covington, Elizabeth James, Will Jones, Myron H. Michael, B. Ward, and Jacob Ward; with Tariq Gardner on drum.

About Jon Onye Lockard: Born in Detroit, Lockard was a powerful and awe-inspiring artist, muralist, master painter, educator, historian and storyteller.

Dutch Studies: A Decolonial Revision (March 12, 2022 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/92935 92935-21698098@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 12, 2022 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

About the exhibit:

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

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

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

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

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

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (March 16, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700958@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 16, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

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

"How to Build a Disaster Proof House" Special Evening Viewing with Tracey Snelling in Conversation with Curator Amanda Krugliak (March 16, 2022 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93153 93153-21701004@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 16, 2022 7:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Join us for a special evening viewing of our new exhibition "How to Build a Disaster Proof House." Artist Tracey Snelling will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak, followed by Q & A.

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

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

About the exhibit:

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

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

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

Dutch Studies: A Decolonial Revision (March 20, 2022 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/92935 92935-21698106@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 20, 2022 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

About the exhibit:

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

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

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

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (March 21, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700963@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 21, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

The project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC), The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.

The Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8, 2022).

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

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

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

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

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

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

About the exhibit:

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

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

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

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

A public keynote presentation from Dr. Tonya Matthews, President and CEO of International African American Museum, will ask curators and other listeners to grapple with an increasing call for bolder conversations in the curation of African American cultural heritage. 

Dr. Tonya Matthews, President and CEO of International African American Museum, will ask us to grapple with increasing expectation for bolder conversations in curation of African American cultural heritage – particularly in considerations of descendants and living history. Is centering stewardship of enslaved African Americans’ craftwork at predominantly white institutions cultural appropriation or long-overdue acknowledgement? What are potential triggers of curating a community’s culture from outside of that geography? Is there any cross-learning in working with donors and working with descendants? Matthews will share learnings and current conversation surrounding the creation of the International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina as context for being on the frontlines of grappling with the intersection of historical and living history.

The event is free and open to the public. It will also be available via livestream.

This talk is presented in preparation for Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, an upcoming traveling exhibition focused on the work of African American potters in the 19th-century American South and the contemporary artists who have responded to it. The exhibition is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. After debuting in New York City, the exhibition will travel to Boston, followed by UMMA in Fall 2023, before the fourth and final venue, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.

Dr. Tonya M. Matthews is Chief Executive Officer of the International African American Museum (IAAM) at the historically sacred site of Gadsden’s Wharf in Charleston, SC. As a champion of authentic, empathetic storytelling of American history, IAAM is one of the nation’s newest platforms for the disruption of institutionalized racism as America continues the walk toward “a more perfect union.”  A thought-leader in inclusive frameworks, social entrepreneurship, and education, Matthews has written articles and book chapters across these varied subjects. She is founder of The STEMinista Project, a movement to engage girls in their future with STEM careers. Matthews is also a poet and is included in 100 Best African-American Poems (2010) edited by Nikki Giovanni. Matthews received her Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Johns Hopkins University and her B.S.E. in engineering from Duke University, alongside a certificate in African/African-American Studies.

Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina is an exhibition focused on the work of African American potters in the 19th-century American South and the contemporary artists who have responded to it. Organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the exhibition is a groundbreaking presentation of approximately 60 ceramic objects from Edgefield, South Carolina, a center of ceramic production in the decades before the Civil War. Considered through the lens of recent scholarship in the fields of history, literature, anthropology, diaspora, material culture, and African American studies, these 19th-century wares testify to the artistic ambitions, lived experiences, and material knowledge of enslaved peoples and the realities of slavery in the industrial context.  

Hear Me Now offers a novel view of an underrepresented aspect of American enslavement, foregrounding objects made by enslaved potters and bringing this important history to larger audiences. Additionally, it aspires to link past to present, in part by including the work of leading contemporary Black artists who have responded to the Edgefield story, such as Simone Leigh and Woody De Othello, among others.

Adrienne Spinozzi, Assistant Curator of American Decorative Arts in the American Wing at The Met, Ethan Lasser, John Moors Cabot Chair of the Art of the Americas at the MFA, and Jason Young, Associate Professor of History at the University of Michigan are co-curating this project. They are advised and supported by a national board of artists and scholars who offer invaluable input and perspectives, throughout both the planning and development process.  

This program is organized in partnership with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the U-M Department of History with support from the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the U-M Arts Initiative.
