"Mending" RC Art Gallery Exhibit Reception (February 11, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/92185 92185-21687631@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 11, 2022 4:00pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

An exhibition of selected works by Jeanne Bieri.
January 21 - March 18, 2022
Inspired by women who worked with and communicated in quilts, Mending is an exhibit that blends the deeply personal stories of our lives as individuals with the universal language of quilts and blankets. Mending is an ode to the art of the hand stitch; as Bieri’s work brings layers and patterns to army blankets and recycled materials, she is creating a story of making, restructuring, and mending. Through meticulous hand work and circulating patterns, Jeanne joins together the disparate elements of her work. The process of restoring and saving discarded elements and preserving the unique histories of the materials found in the tactile surfaces remain an inspiration in her daily work practice.

Communicating a sense of unity, sturdiness, and fusion through its manipulation of textiles and hand stitching, Mending can be viewed in the RC Art Gallery in East Quad from January 21 through March 18, 2022.

Jeannes's reception will take place at the RC Art Gallery on February 11, 4-6 pm.

About the artist:
Jeanne earned her MFA in Painting from Wayne State University and later taught at U-M Dearborn. Her work has been exhibited throughout Michigan and the Midwest with career highlights including a Kresge Fellowship in 2017 and a Michigan Council for the Arts Grant in 2019.

Captioning the Archives: A Conversation with Professor Aisha Sabatini Sloan and Photographer Lester Sloan (March 15, 2022 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/92378 92378-21690683@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 15, 2022 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Residential College

In this webinar, RC Lecturer and photographer Isaac Wingfield will interview Professor Aisha Sabatini Sloan and her father, photographer Lester Sloan, about the making of their latest co-authored book and how the visual and creative arts, history, and family ties guided their project.

Photographer and poet Rachel Eliza Griffiths notes, “In this rich meditation with [Lester Sloan’s] gifted daughter, author Aisha Sabatini Sloan, we find ourselves in a narrative of discovery and revelation. Sloan’s photographs are necessary instruments of history, as is the palpable sensation of love between himself and his daughter.”

A female duo that creates musical performances, *I Broke the Vase* (Eva Matsigkou, Nefeli Sani) make small rituals that are linked to their music, but also to their spiritual and bodily pursuits. They apply processes, such as deep listening, sound exploration, free improvisation, phonetic expression, speech, composition, site-specific projects and anything else that can contribute to the desired result, trying to overcome the barriers of censorship and musical and/or social stereotypes. They use instruments, objects, microphones, electronics, voices, recordings and loops.

From Athens, Greece, *I Broke the Vase* will visit the University of Michigan as part of a visiting artist/scholars residency supported by the School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

CWPS Performance Talks is a series of events in collaboration with local arts presenters, which aims to bring performers to campus to foster intellectual exchange between students, faculty and practitioners, as a means of illuminating global perspectives on performance practice.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.
