The Ways of Water: Art, Activism, and Ecologies Symposium - Day 2 (October 8, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99439 99439-21798207@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 8, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

.

This symposium brings together a diverse group of practitioners, including artists, designers, activists, scholars, scientists, policy analysts, urban planners, and thinkers to discuss what may well be the most important issue of our time: access to clean water and the fight for environmental justice. Held in partnership with the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Stamps Gallery and building on themes present in the UMMA exhibition  and Stamps Gallery’s LaToya Ruby Frazier: Flint is Family in Three Acts, The Ways of Water symposium continues to unravel the story of water, its critical role, and the way it connects us all. 

Diverse practitioners have been invited in order to underscore the need for a multiplicity of voices needed to confront these issues. The Ways of Water symposium brings together perspectives of artists, activists, community members alongside those of scientists and policy makers. 



Day 2: Saturday, October 8, 1 – 5 pm Stamps Gallery, 201 South Division Street

1:00 pm: Session 4 — Breaking Waves: Research Around, Through, and With Water Panelists: Heidi Kumao, Kelly Murdoch-Kitt + Denielle Emans, David Porter, and Cedric Taylor

Breaking Waves surveys research and pedagogy across the University of Michigan at the intersection of water, world-building, and environmental justice. Panelists will discuss how water is used in teaching and storytelling to repair broken relationships with water and how water subjects are used as pedagogical tools. 

3:00 pm: Session 5 — Water Futures: Decolonization, Access, Systems, and Community Panelists: Daniel Brown, Amber Hasan and Shea Cobb, Branko Kerkez, and Andrea Pierce Moderator: María Arquero de Alarcón

Water Futures explores our understanding of water — as a vital resource for the life of a community, a reservoir of ecological memory, and a public trust or a fundamental human right — as we try to envision creative solutions that can change the course of water’s troubled history. Beyond the strict temporality of crisis and response that so often frames recent public narratives about environmental justice, how can artists, academics, and activists help recontextualize the urgency of ecological action to achieve an equitable water future?

4:30 pm: Closing Remarks

Symposium events are free and open to all. Please contact Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Stamps Gallery at jenjkhan@​umich.​edu for additional information or with questions.

A Virtual Conversation with Author Justin Baldoni (October 26, 2022 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99683 99683-21798534@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 26, 2022 6:30pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: University Students Against Rape/Take Back The Night (USAR/TBTN)

Justin Baldoni, filmmaker, actor, and author, will stream in live for an honest conversation about redefining masculinity, and how by challenging traditional roles and traits of masculinity, men will be able to realize their potential as humans and their capacity for connection. You can find out more about Justin’s mission at www.manenough.com.

The event will begin with a conversation between Justin and Standing Tough Against Rape President, Tom Swider, using Justin’s books as a springboard. Man Enough, released in 2021, focuses on Justin’s personal journey of how traditional masculinity affected him. In this book he helps us to investigate what it means to be man enough and in the process what it means to be human.

His second book, Boys Will Be Human, being released October4, 2022, is a real-talk, self-esteem-building guidebook that helps boys ages 11 and up embrace their feelings and fears instead of repress them. This book is geared toward middle schoolers (11+) and their parents, however, anyone can benefit from it. This is the perfect social-emotional learning tool for parents and educators to jump-start conversations about masculinity with the boys in their lives.

We will then open it up to questions from attendees.

*Please note: Justin will be joining the conversation and Q&A portion virtually and he will not be present for the post event reception.

Veterans Week - Stories of Service (November 9, 2022 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57144 57144-21799958@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 9, 2022 7:00pm

The University of Michigan presents the seventh annual Stories of Service: An Evening with Veterans. This event continues to raise awareness and funds for Fisher House Michigan.

Less than 10% of the U.S. population has served in the military, yet stories of service and movies about military service continue to be written and be popular — and many of these have little to do with the reality of serving in the military.

We invite you to come and listen to true stories of life in the military. You will hear humanizing, moving stories, filled with humor, loss, and insight — all to honor the service of our men and women in uniform.

Featured Story Tellers:
Dr. Ray Christian: Retired paratrooper and national award winning storyteller. Ray produces the podcast “What’s Ray Saying?” which features stories born out of his experiences with poverty, racial injustice, his military experiences, and his sense of adventure.

Dr. John “Joe” Schwarz: Joe served in the the US House of Representatives and the Michigan State Senate, Mayor of Battle Creek Michigan, an alumni of the University of Michigan (1959) a medical doctor, served in the United States Navy and the CIA during the Vietnam War.

She has worked in the VA medical center in Saginaw, working with homeless veteran populations, LGBTQ Veteran Care Coordinator and as a mental health case manager. She has a bachelors and masters degree in Social Work. Andrea is an Air Force veteran

Derek Blumke: Derek us the State of Michigan Adjutant & Quartermaster of the Veteran of Foreign Wars (VFW). Derek served 12 years combined between Active Duty Air Force and MI Air National Guard.

Soon after he co-founded the national Student Veterans of America where he served as president.

Jennifer Lamb: Jennifer enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserves in 1994 and later commissioned as an officer on active duty until 2002. She was the first woman Marine assigned to an infantry company with Small Craft Company, 2nd Marine Division. Her last assignment was as the Battalion Executive Officer for Camp Johnson, North Carolina where she was serving during the attack on the United States during 9/11. Jennifer has a Masters degree in Social Work and a Masters degree in Child Development. She worked at Mott Children's hospital, the University of Michigan's Military Support Programs and Network and for the Michigan Veteran Affairs Agency.

Eco Soma: Pain and Joy in Speculative Performance Encounters by Petra Kuppers (November 16, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99598 99598-21798378@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 16, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

In Eco Soma, Petra Kuppers asks readers to be alert to their own embodied responses to art practice and to pay attention to themselves as active participants in a shared sociocultural world. Reading contemporary performance encounters and artful engagements, this book models a disability culture sensitivity to living in a shared world, oriented toward more socially just futures.

Eco soma methods mix and merge realities on the edges of lived experience and site-specific performance. Kuppers invites us to become moths, sprout gills, listen to our heart’s drum, and take starships into crip time. And fantasy is central to these engagements: feeling/sensing monsters, catastrophes, golden lines, heartbeats, injured sharks, dotted salamanders, kissing mammoths, and more. Kuppers illuminates ecopoetic disability culture perspectives, contending that disabled people and their co-conspirators make art to live in a changing world, in contact with feminist, queer, trans, racialized, and Indigenous art projects. By offering new ways to think, frame, and feel “environments,” Kuppers focuses on art-based methods of envisioning change and argues that disability can offer imaginative ways toward living well and with agency in change, unrest, and challenge.

Traditional somatics teach us how to fine-tune our introspective senses and to open up the world of our own bodies, while eco soma methods extend that attention toward the creative possibilities of the reach between self, others, and the land. Eco Soma proposes an art/life method of sensory tuning to the inside and the outside simultaneously, a method that allows for a wider opening toward ethical cohabitation with human and more-than-human others.

This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem)—a collaboration of the Association of American Universities, the Association of University Presses, and the Association of Research Libraries—and the generous support of the University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and the Provost Office.

This event is part of IRWG’s Gender: New Works, New Questions series, which spotlights new books by our faculty. This event will be presented in-person and include a raffle for in-person attendees to win a free copy of the book!

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

The Challenge of Transition (February 1, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104225 104225-21808691@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Educational Outreach

As stewards of transition, we look to arm incoming students with the hope and promise of a better future through higher education. Why then, does that process create such challenges for the students and for the helpers themselves? In this webinar, we will explore the common vulnerabilities in both students and educators that most miss when undertaking the awesome task of guiding youth through the milestones of life. While the goal stays focused on how best to support the students, the process of supporting and protecting yourself comes first.

Mark Talaga has been counseling gifted individuals for over 10 years and is the owner and director of the Center for Identity Potential. Mark's experience with gifted counseling began in 2012 under the mentorship of Andy Mahoney, a pioneer and expert in the field of counseling the gifted. Mark is a former video game professional who utilizes his knowledge of gaming and technology to create a strong relationship with many of the kids with whom he works. Through his own personal struggle with executive functioning, validating his giftedness, and finding purpose and meaning in this world, Mark has developed expertise in the education and skills necessary to help gifted children activate their potential and live more authentic, fulfilling lives.

A collaboration of Detroit Public Theatre & the Prison Creative Arts Project

More about the film:
MTV Documentary Films Presents *Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison* (formerly known as A Peculiar Silence) tells the story of playwright Liza Jessie Peterson, whose acclaimed play *The Peculiar Patriot* was shut down mid-performance at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola Prison.

Directed and edited by Cinque Northern, produced by Catherine Gund, featuring Liza Jessie Peterson and Norris Henderson (Peterson and Henderson are also Executive Producers), the film examines how one woman's play challenged the country's largest plantation prison and impacted the incarcerated men long after the record of her visit was erased by the institution's administration.

More about the play:
LaQuanda ‘Betsy’ Ross knows a lot about the New York State Penitentiary system. Her regular visits to loved ones in various upstate institutions have made her quite the expert and a self-proclaimed “Peculiar Patriot." In-between neighborhood updates and gossip, Betsy educates herself and the audience on the systemic inequity within America’s prison complex system and its effect on those behind bars, as well as their family and friends.

Written and performed by the incomparable Liza Jessie Peterson, The Peculiar Patriot was inspired by her comprehensive and extensive work in prisons, including on Riker’s Island. Peterson’s tour de force solo piece is an important, funny, and profound investigative look into America’s criminal justice system.

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Kathakali Performance (February 11, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114240 114240-21832551@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 11, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Famed South Indian Kathakali dancer Manoj Kumar from the premier tertiary conservatory of South Indian music and dance, Kerala Kalamandalam, will offer a solo performance in full make up and costumes with an introduction from Kathakali scholar V. Kaladharan. Kumar will appear on the stage as the omnipotent Ravana, the king of Srilanka. This anti-hero in the great Indian Epic, Ramayana, recollects the major milestones in his life right from his childhood days. Q&A following the performance.

Part of the U-M Fall 2023 Festival of Asian Music
https://smtd.umich.edu/asian-music-festival/

Kathakali, literally story-play, is a highly evolved dance-theatre tradition that originated in Kerala, south India, in the 17th century. It is an amazing amalgam of dance, drama, and music; vocal and instrumental. The facial makeup & costuming of Kathakali are both stylized and semi-realistic. The ornamentations in Kathakali are intricate, intriguing and incredibly elaborate. It takes three to four hours for a Kathakali actor to transform himself/herself into a Kathakali character. Traditionally Kathakali plays dramatize stories from the great Indian epics: the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Srimad Bhagawatha.

Free and open to the public; Presented by the Center for World Performance Studies with support from the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, the Center for South Asian Studies, and the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.

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 cwps.information@umich.edu or call 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event.

TEDxUofM 2023 Conference: Glitch (February 17, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104413 104413-21809036@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 17, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Power Center for the Performing Arts
Organized By: TEDxUofM

Glitch
Our theme for this year’s conference is GLITCH. Glitches represent the idea that life often tries to derail us off a steady path. Although we may experience a setback or glitch, we can learn from it, propel forward, and start to appreciate every pixel of our experiences. We aim to cultivate an attendee experience that reflects the many meanings of this theme. As always, we hope those who attend our conference will leave having discovered the importance of their own glitches while learning to look for the positive outcomes.

Speakers
Our speakers have already been selected for this year's conference. They will be revealed here and on our social media throughout the month of January. Make sure to follow us on social media and check back regularly for when they are announced.

Dr. Feranmi Okanlami

Dr. Feranmi Okanlami is the Director of the first-ever Adaptive Sports and Fitness program at the University, an assistant professor of family medicine, and serves as director of Student Accessibility and Accommodation Services. After facing a spinal cord injury in his third year of orthopedic surgery residency at Yale that paralyzed him from the chest down, he has gone on to pursue several degrees and receive the Nielson award for his disability advocacy. He served on the St. Joseph County Board of Health, appointed by then Mayor, Pete Buttigieg and has been featured on news outlets including CBS News, PBS News Hour, and Good Morning America. Dr. Okanlami continues to push for DEI and accessibility with his message that disability is not inability.

In his talk he hopes to explore disability as a fabric of diversity and its relationship with society.

Elizabeth Trinh

Elizabeth is originally from Vietnam and is currently a Ph.D. student and researcher in the Management and Organizations program at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. She has a unique life story of growing up in a small town in Georgia since her father was on a Student Visa in America. The community however in her small town was something that molded her to become the person she is today even though it was a very segregated town as her family was the only people of Asian descent there. When she got older, she moved to Atlanta where she first started to see people who looked like her. She further went to Stanford for her undergraduate degree in premed studies.

In her talk, she hopes to tell her story and how it affected her to learn the importance of mentorship and creating meaningful connections wherever we go!

Amy Tseng

Amy is a passionate speaker who works at Walt Disney as a Technical Director, which act as the bridge between the art and technical sides of animation (ex. The water in Moana). She grew up in a small town in Port Huron, MI and was always a part of many different activities in sports, theater, music, and academics. At first, she worked for Nordstrom, but really wanted to do some creative work as well, which is how she decided to apply for Walt Disney. So far she has worked on Zootopia+ (which is her favorite project so far), Strange World, and is working on a film that comes out in 2024. She is currently based in Los Angeles, CA.

In her talk, she will touch on story telling and how “everyone is a storyteller” as everyone has experiences that build off of each other and all of these experiences when growing up builds our stories!

Tommy Searle

Tommy is an app developer and is a 2020 UofM Alumni! During his first year in Michigan, he lost his dad to suicide. He ran 6 campaigns surrounding mental health awareness, sold t-shirts, and raised over $20,000. He began interning at LinkedIn but soon recruited his closest friends to quit their jobs and create their first app, WellNest. Throughout his work, he loved seeing people wear or use the products he created. His goals for the future include increasing the happiness that we feel on our phones and breaking the pattern of phones disconnecting us. Tommy speaks in such a confident and genuine way that is truly inspiring.

In his talk, he will touch on topics such as persistence, turning something “bad” into a good positive force of energy, and being unafraid of failing!

Nicole Auerbach

Nicole is a sports journalist for the Athletic. She is also a UofM alumnus and at her time here she wrote for the Michigan Daily Sports section, being one of the very few females in that category. She originally thought she would pursue business in college but someone in her dorm told her about the Michigan Daily. That changed the trajectory of her life and through working at the Michigan Daily she worked her way up after having many internships to a first full-time job as an editor at USA Today. From 2017 to the present, she is doing football reporting for the Atlantic and she does some radio coverage on the side with Sirius XM.

In her talk, she will speak about her experience being a woman in the sports industry, a heavily male-dominated space, and resiliency through coping with difficult situations in what many perceive as a “dream job”.

Annie Rauwerda

Annie is currently a freelance writer and she runs the “Depths of Wikipedia” account on Instagram which holds 1.1 million followers. During her time as a Junior at UofM when COVID hit she was able to take time to post her favorite things from Wikipedia on Instagram. This quickly became a hit with people on Instagram and this growth allowed her to freelance as a junior doing live shows and stand-up comedy while still in college. She was able to get a book deal and do a show tour around the country. Through this whole incredible experience, she learned the importance of digital archives for the sake of history. She continues to run “Depths of Wikipedia” through not only Instagram but also Twitter (650k), and TikTok (140k) and does comedy and speaking engagements about Wikipedia.

In her talk, she will talk about the importance of creating human knowledge and how Wikipedia encourages this along with adding some standup and humorous elements to her talk.

David Siev

Midwest-born and raised, David Siev is a first-generation Cambodian-Mexican-American filmmaker. Before directing Bad Axe, his SXSW award-winning feature debut based on his family’s restaurant in rural Michigan, David spent his early career learning guerilla filmmaking under director Jeff Tremaine. This experience prepared David to make his directorial debut with his award-winning narrative short, Year Zero, based on his father’s experience of escaping Cambodia. David’s work on Bad Axe has been celebrated with numerous accolades, including the Critic’s Choice Award for Best First Feature Documentary and he is on the Oscar shortlist for documentary features. David now lives in NYC, focusing on developing narrative and documentary projects.

In his talk, he will touch on the immigrant experience and the American Dream along with coming from nothing to making something of yourself in an unknown field!

Ji Hye Kim

Ji Hye Kim is the award-winning chef/owner of Miss Kim in Ann Arbor, MI. Named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs of 2021, Ji Hye aims to broaden the understanding of Korean cuisine through her cooking. She was born in Seoul, Korea, and was introduced to cooking by her mother, a talented home cook. Her family immigrated to New Jersey, and Ji Hye went on to study political science and economics at the University of Michigan. Since Ji Hye attended U-M during the Asian financial crisis, she had to take two years off to make cash for school through waitressing because she did not have a work permit. After years of hard work, Ji Hye was able to finish college and open her first restaurant Miss Kim, which has now been named one of Ann Arbor’s “Most Essential Restaurants” by Eater. At her acclaimed restaurant Miss Kim, her seasonal menu is inspired by ancient Korean culinary traditions and adapted to local Midwestern ingredients.

In her talk, she will touch on how we are all a complex mix of identities but society often wants to put us in one box and how to lead with empathy by creating a system that sets people up to have a more equitable workplace!

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

The Ark’s annual Storytelling Festival expands to three days for 2022! New this year is a Liars’ Contest on Friday night. Please make your show selection carefully as all sales are final - refunds / exchanges are not available.

Friday, Feb 24, 8:00 p.m. | Liars have been around since the snake first hit it off with Eve. By some accounts, contests celebrating liars have been around since the 15th century, but these accounts may be apocryphal. Today, liars contests are held in countries all around the globe, and The Ark is joining the fray with its First Annual Liars contest, which is part of the new and expanded 36th Annual Storytelling Festival. The event will feature six of the best liars in the region, each telling a ten-minute story and competing for highly valuable bragging rights, a crisp $100 bill, and a fabulous trophy for the winner! Each of our distinguished celebrity judges has a special relationship to the fine art of prevarication.

The Liars | Larry Castleberry, Jennifer Otto, Rich Swanson, Jeff Doyle, Genot Picor, Mike Cox

The Judges | Kathleen Daniels/Married to Jeff Daniels, a man who makes his living by pretending to be other people; Karl Fink/As a retired District Court judge, he spent most of his life listening to liars … and not just the attorneys; Christopher Taylor/Mayor of Ann Arbor, a politician—need we say more?

MC for the event | Amir Baghdadchi
---
Saturday, Feb 25, 8:00 p.m. | Saturday brings storytellers Bill Harley, Sheila Arnold, and Steve Daut.

Bill Harley is a songwriter and storyteller whose commentaries have been featured on National Public Radio's All Things Considered. He's equally at home performing for adults and for families, and a refreshing breath of fantasy is just around the corner in everything he does. Tonight Bill performs a special one-man show, appearing in character as a figure from a story by wilderness advocate John Muir, called “Stickeen.” One of the great tales of the American wilderness, the story recounts Muir’s adventures in Alaska with a brave, curious little dog. The show will be followed by a Q&A.

Sheila Arnold brings stories, historic individuals, new ideas, new perspectives and old knowledge to schools, libraries, professional organizations, museums and churches. And Steve Daut is well known to Michigan audiences; he has adapted stories of Mark Twain to the storytelling medium.
---
Sunday, Feb 26, 1:00 p.m. | Sunday’s matinee show will feature tellers from the Saturday program in a show for families.

The Ark's 36th Annual Storytelling Festival (February 25, 2023 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99764 99764-21798731@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 25, 2023 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

The Ark’s annual Storytelling Festival expands to three days for 2022! New this year is a Liars’ Contest on Friday night. Please make your show selection carefully as all sales are final - refunds / exchanges are not available.

Friday, Feb 24, 8:00 p.m. | Liars have been around since the snake first hit it off with Eve. By some accounts, contests celebrating liars have been around since the 15th century, but these accounts may be apocryphal. Today, liars contests are held in countries all around the globe, and The Ark is joining the fray with its First Annual Liars contest, which is part of the new and expanded 36th Annual Storytelling Festival. The event will feature six of the best liars in the region, each telling a ten-minute story and competing for highly valuable bragging rights, a crisp $100 bill, and a fabulous trophy for the winner! Each of our distinguished celebrity judges has a special relationship to the fine art of prevarication.

The Liars | Larry Castleberry, Jennifer Otto, Rich Swanson, Jeff Doyle, Genot Picor, Mike Cox

The Judges | Kathleen Daniels/Married to Jeff Daniels, a man who makes his living by pretending to be other people; Karl Fink/As a retired District Court judge, he spent most of his life listening to liars … and not just the attorneys; Christopher Taylor/Mayor of Ann Arbor, a politician—need we say more?

MC for the event | Amir Baghdadchi
---
Saturday, Feb 25, 8:00 p.m. | Saturday brings storytellers Bill Harley, Sheila Arnold, and Steve Daut.

Bill Harley is a songwriter and storyteller whose commentaries have been featured on National Public Radio's All Things Considered. He's equally at home performing for adults and for families, and a refreshing breath of fantasy is just around the corner in everything he does. Tonight Bill performs a special one-man show, appearing in character as a figure from a story by wilderness advocate John Muir, called “Stickeen.” One of the great tales of the American wilderness, the story recounts Muir’s adventures in Alaska with a brave, curious little dog. The show will be followed by a Q&A.

Sheila Arnold brings stories, historic individuals, new ideas, new perspectives and old knowledge to schools, libraries, professional organizations, museums and churches. And Steve Daut is well known to Michigan audiences; he has adapted stories of Mark Twain to the storytelling medium.

Sunday, Feb 26, 1:00 p.m. | Sunday’s matinee show will feature tellers from the Saturday program in a show for families.

Read and Look | Cleo and Cornelius: A Tale of Two Cities and Two Kitties (March 4, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104617 104617-21809732@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 4, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

In this special program just for our younger visitors, we’ll read a kid-friendly book and explore a related part of the exhibit. This is a great way to discover the ancient world and connect our daily lives to the lives of families in the past. The program is a great first trip to the museum! Best for ages 4-7.

The book this month is Cleo and Cornelius. Adventurous Cleo and couch potato Cornelius live in ancient Egypt, where cats are worshiped like gods and goddesses. After Cornelius accidentally boards a boat departing on a voyage across the sea, Cleo and Cornelius find themselves in the faraway city of Rome, a place where dogs are treated like kings. In Rome, the activities never end! Cleo and Cornelius race chariots, play games, perform in a theater, and more. Do they even want to return to Egypt? A spin on Aesop’s classic fable “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse,” Cleo and Cornelius is teeming with hungry hippos, toga-clad dogs, and dancing cat mummies, bringing new excitement to a timeless tale.

This event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event, please visit our accessibility page or contact the education office (734-647-4167). We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

IN-PERSON | Women, Connectedness, and Self-Care (March 8, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105334 105334-21811567@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 8, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Center for the Education of Women
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here: https://www.cew.umich.edu/events/women-connectedness-and-self-care

Join us in person on March 8, 2023, for “Women, Connectedness, and Self-Care,” where we will spend time thinking about what self-care means to each of us based on identity, social location, and privilege to recognize the intersecting dynamics that drive this concept. We will explore how mindful connections can help foster communities of care. Drawing on Black feminist thought this workshop centers the words of the late poet Audre Lorde who said, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” By identifying the ways that we are and are not caring for ourselves we can begin to cultivate new intentions and practices that model for our families, students, and colleagues why self-care is an integral part of a balanced and whole life for women.

During the workshop, participants will engage in small and large group discussions focused on ideas and questions from the brief readings. We will develop our own “Self-Care Bingo” boards as a culminating activity and participants will be invited to do their best to complete bingo on their board throughout the rest of the month. Participants will be invited back at the end of the month (or beginning of April) to celebrate and share their joys and challenges in community.

This workshop will kick off a month-long series of activities related to practicing self-care and cultivating communities of care in the process. Each week participants will receive an email with resources, tips, and tools for incorporating self-care into their daily lives. The email will help to continue the conversation begun in the workshop and help to strengthen connections between participants and CEW+.

Location:
Organized By: Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC)

SAPAC's SEAS (Survivor Empowerment and Ally Support) program is now accepting submissions for our 18th annual art show!

SEAS is calling on all UM-affiliated artists (students, faculty, & staff) for submissions to be displayed in our annual art show, rEVOLUTION: Healing Through the Arts. Art of any medium is welcome. We are opening up the show to be for survivors and allies, by survivors and allies; as such, we encourage you to express your healing process as you authentically experience it.

The themes of our show are gender, sexism, sexual violence, empowerment, and healing. The topic of sexual violence can include sexual assault, intimate partner violence, sexual and gender-based harassment, and stalking.

Our goal with this event is to create and engage in a supportive community space for survivors where UM student allies and survivors will build empathy and an understanding of sexual violence and healing through the unique creative expression of survivor experiences and perspectives. Artistic expression provides a medium to bring up and process emotions and experiences in a way that can be difficult to discuss otherwise. Now more than ever we hope to provide a platform and resource that brings people together in healing.

Please fill out this form with your submission by March 15th: tinyurl.com/reVMarch2023

If your work is accepted it will be displayed at the Rackham Graduate School in the Assembly Hall on Sunday, March 26th, 4-6 p.m.

If you have any questions, please email art.revolution-requests@umich.edu. We look forward to seeing your art!

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here: https://www.cew.umich.edu/events/virtual-women-connectedness-and-self-care-2
--------------------------------------------

In celebration of Women’s History Month, CEW+ will feature a program focused on holistic wellness, mindfulness, and empowerment. Join us for a workshop offered virtually via Zoom and continue as part of a community of care throughout the month of March. All participants will receive weekly connectedness communications and an invite to return for an in-person check-in at CEW+ to celebrate a month of wellness.

We will spend time thinking about what self-care means to each of us based on identity, social location, and privilege to recognize the intersecting dynamics that drive this concept. We will explore how mindful connections can help foster communities of care. Drawing on Black feminist thought this workshop centers the words of the late poet Audre Lorde who said, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” By identifying the ways that we are and are not caring for ourselves we can begin to cultivate new intentions and practices that model for our families, students, and colleagues why self-care is an integral part of a balanced and whole life for women.

During the workshop, participants will engage in small and large group discussions focused on ideas and questions from the brief readings. We will develop our own “Self-Care Bingo” boards as a culminating activity and participants will be invited to do their best to complete bingo on their board throughout the rest of the month. Participants will be invited back at the end of the month (or beginning of April) to celebrate and share their joys and challenges in community.

This workshop kicks off a month-long series of activities related to practicing self-care and cultivating communities of care in the process. Each week participants will receive an email with resources, tips, and tools for incorporating self-care into their daily lives. The email will help to continue the conversation begun in the workshop and help to strengthen connections between participants and CEW+.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University Musical Society (UMS)

Baritone saxophonist Kaleigh Wilder has performed around the world, led her first album release, and now has plans to release two more albums as a bandleader with a New York-based record label—among several other ongoing projects.

Musicians Kaleigh Wilder, Ben Hall, Jaribu Shahid, and dancer Alexandria Davis will explore Afro-diasporic narratives that traverse oceans and endure attempts at erasure. Using rhythm, movement, timbre, melody, and cacophony, The Story Cuts Across What the Map Cuts Up celebrates what could not be subjugated or relegated to the margins. A continuous performance of original compositions, improvisations, and movement invites the audience to imagine not the physical map, but the stories that connect and produce our futures.

This performance is a “Pay What You Wish” event. That means that you can decide how much you would like to pay to attend. In most venues, an event like this would cost around $15-25 per person. Please enter the price you would like to pay per ticket, and the number of tickets you wish to reserve.

– Opening ceremony and intention-setting
– 30-minute film viewing
– Dance performance
– Sunset processional to the Huron River and return to the Freighthouse to conclude

The artist invites audience members to dress in all-white attire.

Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Big Hearts for Seniors

On May 18, 2023, BHS will feature our fourth annual evening of storytelling with the theme of Big Hearted Stories: On Purpose. Storytellers will share true stories about discovering purpose in their lives after experiencing the grief of losing loved ones, unspoken love and respect of a father, accessibility needs of a child, responsibility of caring for an elder, and growth of opportunities over a long career. Special guest Ari Weinzweig, co-founding partner of Zingerman's Community of Businesses, will talk about his journey from washing dishes to philanthropic entrepreneurship. Vic Strecher will again be our emcee. It will be an evening of stories that will fill your heart and inspire your soul.

The goal of the annual Big Hearts for Seniors event is to raise awareness and funds for six Michigan Medicine organizations that support older adults in our community:
• Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels
• Housing Bureau for Seniors
• Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
• Silver Club Memory Programs
• Turner African American Services Council (new this year!)
• Turner Senior Wellness Program

Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

Shakespeare in the Arb returns for its 21st season with the beloved comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. In this play, Beatrice and Benedick quarrel non-stop but their friends suspect there’s more to their fiery words than it seems. Meanwhile, the marriage of the young lovers Hero and Claudio is interrupted by the schemes of the villainous Don John, and it may be up to the bumbling constable, Dogberry, and his crew to set things right.

Shakespeare in the Arb performs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from June 1 through June 25. It is a 2.5 hour outdoor, moving performance that takes place within Nichols Arboretum. Audience members should be prepared for light weather conditions, periods of sitting, standing, and walking. All tickets are lawn seating and bringing a chair or blanket to sit on is recommended.

Shakespeare in the Arb returns for its 21st season with the beloved comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. In this play, Beatrice and Benedick quarrel non-stop but their friends suspect there’s more to their fiery words than it seems. Meanwhile, the marriage of the young lovers Hero and Claudio is interrupted by the schemes of the villainous Don John, and it may be up to the bumbling constable, Dogberry, and his crew to set things right.

Shakespeare in the Arb performs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from June 1 through June 25. It is a 2.5 hour outdoor, moving performance that takes place within Nichols Arboretum. Audience members should be prepared for light weather conditions, periods of sitting, standing, and walking. All tickets are lawn seating and bringing a chair or blanket to sit on is recommended.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

*Humanize the Numbers* presents the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons.

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height, weight, etc. In the process, their humanity is denied.

This exhibit reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so, those in prison reclaim their humanity.

Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The goal of *In And On Our Own Terms* is for each artist to tell a story from their own experience that would not typically be part of the broader narrative about mass incarceration.

The goal is not to define any artist by the experience of having been incarcerated, but rather to amplify a story that only that artist can tell—a story that is important to the artist to tell, and an opportunity to use the medium of theatre to share it with the community.

Join us for a kid-friendly tour of the Egyptian exhibits at the Kelsey Museum. We will begin by reading aloud *In Egyptian Times*, written by Kate Davies with illustrations by Alfredo Belli, then explore the galleries to find the artifacts pictured in the book. This tour is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–7. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

About *In Egyptian Times*: “This is a delightful picture book that brings to life a busy day in Egypt, long ago. A little boy hurries off to school, acrobats tumble through the crowded market, and crowds gather by the River Nile to watch the Pharaoh coming home . . .”

This event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

Beginning Friday, August 11th, the exhibit Shared Humanity will be featured at the Greater Flint Arts Council from the Prison Creative Arts Project’s (PCAP) private collection. The artwork is for sale and will be on display through September 1, 2023.

According to Sarah Unrath, Curator and PCAP's Community Engagement Specialist, “The exhibition is designed to connect viewers to artists through the wide gamut of their human experiences. We all have dreams, memories, goals, pasts. We all process emotions of anger, joy, grief, and nostalgia. We have specially selected works that show a culmination of ways artists in prison have navigated the complex realities of being human.”

The curatorial staff at PCAP worked closely with artists who were formerly incarcerated to select works that would fit the theme of this exhibition and be of interest to the broader audience. Visitors will see works from familiar artists, including Andy Wynkoop, An ArtsyGuy, RIK, Roger (Free-Hand) Stephenson, and many others.

“This exhibition centralizes intersecting themes and multi-faceted layers of what it means to be human. Our hope is to challenge the lens through which the exhibit audience looks at people in prison. Coming out of a season that has worn us thin of human connection, this exhibit presents a unique opportunity to engage in powerful dialogue inspired by the art in Shared Humanity,” says Unrath

Admission is free and open to the public.

Shared Humanity (August 16, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109675 109675-21822682@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, August 16, 2023 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

Beginning Friday, August 11th, the exhibit Shared Humanity will be featured at the Greater Flint Arts Council from the Prison Creative Arts Project’s (PCAP) private collection. The artwork is for sale and will be on display through September 1, 2023.

According to Sarah Unrath, Curator and PCAP's Community Engagement Specialist, “The exhibition is designed to connect viewers to artists through the wide gamut of their human experiences. We all have dreams, memories, goals, pasts. We all process emotions of anger, joy, grief, and nostalgia. We have specially selected works that show a culmination of ways artists in prison have navigated the complex realities of being human.”

The curatorial staff at PCAP worked closely with artists who were formerly incarcerated to select works that would fit the theme of this exhibition and be of interest to the broader audience. Visitors will see works from familiar artists, including Andy Wynkoop, An ArtsyGuy, RIK, Roger (Free-Hand) Stephenson, and many others.

“This exhibition centralizes intersecting themes and multi-faceted layers of what it means to be human. Our hope is to challenge the lens through which the exhibit audience looks at people in prison. Coming out of a season that has worn us thin of human connection, this exhibit presents a unique opportunity to engage in powerful dialogue inspired by the art in Shared Humanity,” says Unrath

Admission is free and open to the public.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The goal of *In And On Our Own Terms* is for each artist to tell a story from their own experience that would not typically be part of the broader narrative about mass incarceration.

The goal is not to define any artist by the experience of having been incarcerated, but rather to amplify a story that only that artist can tell—a story that is important to the artist to tell, and an opportunity to use the medium of theatre to share it with the community.

Performance Schedule:
July 21 – 3 PM
Ann Arbor Stage on Main (353 S. Main St. Ann Arbor, MI 48104)

August 19 – 7 PM
Detroit Public Theatre (3960 3rd Ave, Detroit, MI 48201)

August 20 – 3 PM
Detroit Public Theatre (3960 3rd Ave, Detroit, MI 48201)

Doors open one hour before the performance.
Pop-up art exhibit in Detroit Public Theatre lobby.
