Shadow and Light : Solidarity and Connection with Iraqi Academics (October 27, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111416 111416-21827044@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit incorporates a selection of work from the Shadow and Light project, an initiative memorializing Iraqi academics assassinated between 2003-2013, a timeframe which roughly parallels the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq. 

Participants from around the world — including Iraqis in diaspora — contributed photographs and personal statements responding to the loss of a particular Iraqi academic listed by the Spanish Campaign against the Occupation and for the Sovereignty of Iraq (La Campaña Estatal contra la Ocupación y por la Soberanía de Iraq / IraqSolidaridad 2005-2013). 

The project emerges from a broader effort undertaken by Iraqis and allies to document the assault on Iraqi scholars, intellectuals, and cultural institutions which flared in the wake of the destruction and division wrought by the US-led invasion and occupation. Death threats and assassinations, politically motivated sectarian violence, rampant corruption, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars, authoritarian regimes, and harsh economic sanctions.

This exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics, many of whom were driven into exile.

This exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).

A companion online exhibit, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre), explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war, sanctions, and occupation.

The Sentimental Archive: Remembering Nubia through Salvage Anthropology (October 27, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/113643 113643-21831324@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit showcases select photographs from The American University in Cairo’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library taken by the renowned Egyptian photographer Abd al-Fattah Eid as well as by the Cairo-born Swiss artist Margo Veillon.

In 1964, the construction of the Aswan High Dam displaced Nubians from their ancestral villages along the banks of the Nile in Egypt. In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation.

This endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time, space, and circumstance.

This selection of photographs includes persons, places, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.

The exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll, assistant professor of anthropology, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid, doctoral student in anthropology, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.

For a deeper dive, visit the companion exhibit, Narrating Nubia, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological, anthropological, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

WCEE Exhibition. Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War (October 27, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109333 109333-21821444@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia

*Presented in association with UMS*.

In Guardian Passage, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline, red thread connects these projects, weaving through clay and fabric, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”

Irina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist, a native of Ukraine, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022, and, most recently, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.

BREATHE (October 27, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/114190 114190-21832460@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 9:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

The Residential College Art Gallery will present BREATHE, an exhibition of illuminated ceramics by Ann Arbor artist Kate Tremel, from October 20 through November 21. Tremel, who teaches ceramics at the Penny W Stamps School of Art and Design, describes her work in the following way:

“My pots are made with a wooden paddle and round stone. They are slowly raised by beating, turning, and drying the clay repeatedly until the walls are thinly stretched and the form is filled with life. I pierce the fragile, unfired walls of the vessel with a tapered tool and then painstakingly carve the holes with a thin blade. The piercings give visual access to the interior of the form and create a tension with the fragility of the ceramic material. When the pot is illuminated the light fills the vessel and physically embodies the energy that it contains. The piercings allow this energy to flow beyond the walls of the form and into the surrounding space. The soft patterns of light are an exhalation, filling the dark room with a sense of quiet repose. I invite you to stop and take a breath.”

The public is invited to an opening reception for the artist on October 20, from 4-6 pm, and the public is invited.

Illustrating the Renaissance Book: From Illumination to Woodcut (October 27, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109814 109814-21822983@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Enjoy a selection of manuscripts and early printed books from the 15th to the 17th centuries that were illustrated with illuminations and woodcuts. Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700), many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However, as the pages on display attest, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.

The word “Illumination,” from the Latin illuminare, “to enlighten or to illuminate,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece, or first page of text, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter, and even miniatures, that is, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.

Available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).

Join us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez, curator of the exhibit.

Sarah Buckius: !!!techn010ffspring!!! (October 27, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109535 109535-21822221@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Come explore the intricate and interlocking world of Sarah Buckius’ “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” where feminist art meets science and the history of invention. On view at Lane Hall as part of U-M Arts Initiative’s themed semester on Arts & Resistance, “!!!techn010ffspring!!!” critiques the patriarchal paradigms of the STEM field by highlighting the history of women inventors. This exhibition brings conceptual invention in fine art and performance to the disciplines of information technology, robotics, and engineering. Buckius creates “technoffsprings”: complex machines that weave together the history of inventions related to the gendered labor of women, especially regarding women’s social roles as caregivers and subjects of care themselves.
Trained as an engineer and an artist, Buckius’ machines are intentionally complex, layered, and illogical or absurdly logical. In the nature of women’s caregiving, they teeter between order and chaos. Her “digital tinkerings” tell epic tales of motherhood, technology, female bodies, and commerce—both personal and externalized through women’s inventions and early forays that bridged caregiving and commerce. Buckius' work proposes improvisation as a form of absurdist resistance to, and alternative to, patriarchal, capitalist, production-based, and seemingly rational, useful, logical systems.
“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Santa Cruz County Arts Council.

"Equity issues in scientific publishing"

In June 2023, I began a term as Chair of the AAS Publications Committee. The PC provides independent oversight of AAS Journals (AJ, ApJ, ApJS, ApJL, PSJ, RNAAS) and acts as a direct conduit between the community and the Journals staff. Much of our current and ongoing work on the PC involves advancing equity in scientific publishing. I will briefly highlight some recent efforts, including the AAS Publication Support Fund and the AAS Journals referee training program, and a portion of the time will be reserved for discussion and dialogue.

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Plants and fungi play a vital role in medicine due to the diversity of chemical defense mechanisms they evolved to safeguard them against pathogens, herbivores, and competitors. From its inception, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, form determines function, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry, and Liz Tidwell, PhD candidate in Biophysics, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform, make, break, modify, and move within the body.

How Well Does Bargaining Work in Consumer Markets? A Robust Bounds Approach (October 27, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/114186 114186-21832451@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 10:00am

Organized By: Department of Economics

This study provides a structural analysis of detailed, alternating-offer bargaining data from eBay, deriving bounds on buyers and sellers private value distributions using a range of assump- tions on behavior. These assumptions range from very weak (assuming only that acceptance and rejection decisions are rational) to less weak (e.g., assuming that bargaining offers are weakly increasing in players’ private values). We estimate the bounds and show what they imply for consumer negotiation behavior in theory and practice. For the median product, bargaining ends in impasses in 43% of negotiations even when the buyer values the good more than the seller.


This talk is presented by the Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Seminar, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Jean Coven Speakers Fund in Economics and the Economics Strategic Fund.

Organized By: Department of Statistics

Abstract: The Statistics of Income (SOI) Division within the Internal Revenue Service curates and maintains an extensive repository of tax data, offering researchers a valuable resource for evaluating the impacts of tax policies and exploring diverse research inquiries, including the analysis of income inequality. While the confidential data remains accessible only to a limited number of government analysts and researchers, SOI provides an accessible public use file for external researchers and data practitioners. However, safeguarding this public use file has grown increasingly difficult to protect through traditional statistical data privacy methods, as the vast amount of personal information available in public and private databases combined with enormous computational power create unprecedented privacy risks.

This presentation will cover the collaborative efforts of SOI and researchers at the Urban Institute, who are actively developing a solution: the creation of synthetic data that represent the statistical properties of the administrative data without revealing any individual taxpayer information. Additionally, Urban is building a prototype validation server that empowers researchers to indirectly conduct statistical analyses on administrative tax data. Researchers can accomplish this by evaluating their analyses using synthetic data and subsequently submitting them to the validation server. The server then produces a modified output with added noise, all the while maintaining the confidentiality of taxpayer information. In essence, this talk will address the lessons learned, best practices, and challenges encountered in the process of safely expanding access to administrative tax data.

There’s more to bees than honey (October 27, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/113189 113189-21830459@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 10:00am

What are native bees?
Native bees are diverse.
Native bees are large.
Native bees are small, Native bees are metallic.
Native bees wear masks. Native bees are specialists.
Native bees are super pollinators.
When we talk about supporting bees, many people naturally think of honey bees. Honey bees can help pollinate crops, especially on farms where there might not be enough native pollinators around. Plus, they are the only bees that produce honey, so you can thank them for that delicious treat. However, when we consider bees’ impacts to society and the environment, it’s essential to consider their natural history.
Honey bees were introduced to the Americas from Eurasia and Africa by humans, which means they haven’t co-evolved with our native plants and animals. Since honey bees have not been a part of Michigan’s ecosystems until relatively recently, their impacts on Michigan’s ecosystems and native plant communities are not as large as their agricultural value. While honey bees are thriving in managed hives, it’s not the same story for our native bee species.
These wonderful creatures are facing challenges due to habitat loss, as their natural homes and food sources are being replaced by agricultural fields, urban areas, and non-native plants. It’s essential to give some attention to our often-overlooked native bees. They come in many different shapes and sizes, and you might not even recognize them as bees at first glance!
This exhibit aims to raise awareness about Michigan’s native bees, their appearance, behavior, and interactions with plants. By understanding and appreciating them better, we hope to inspire everyone to think about how we can support and protect these vital pollinators too.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

The Blessings of the Mystery examines themes of socio-economic, environmental activism, encounters between history and memory, Indigenous rights, and the formation and distribution of knowledge. The exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories, connections, and tensions present in West Texas through film, sculpture, installation, collage, and drawing.
The experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories, reenactments, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization, migration, and ecological precarity, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry, infrastructure, and private property.
Emerging from the research to create the film, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools, series of drawings and collages, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. The watercolors, rarely seen plein air paintings, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding, erosion, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa, the University of Texas at Austin, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California, Santa Barbara, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998. Those that were acquired earlier are items about which we’ve learned new things in the intervening 25 years.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Writing is at the center of historical scholarship, constituting a significant portion of source material and scholarly output. Yet the practice of writing hugely exceeds the boundaries of disciplinary scholarship. How do various modes and genres of writing inflect the ways in which we are able to think historically and imagine the past? What kinds of meaning can various forms of writing engender when it comes to understanding history? As the profession embraces writing for public audiences, what genres of writing constitute history? In this panel, scholars from a variety of disciplines consider alterities of history, from the ancient Mediterranean to modern West Africa and Southeast Asia. Each panelist will consider the ways in which history can be practiced and socially inscribed in ways that are alien to the academic discipline of history.

Functional Disorder at Biological Membranes (October 27, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109092 109092-21821061@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: LSA Biophysics

Cellular membranes are critical interfaces for the biochemical interactions that regulate cell behavior and function. These membranes are composed of heterogeneous mixtures of lipids and proteins. Understanding and controlling biomolecular interactions that occur at membranes is challenging owing to the inherent ability of the membrane environment to functionally couple interactions between proteins and lipids. Nonetheless, elucidating the interplay between proteins and lipids in biological membranes is important for a variety of applications, such as pinpointing the mechanisms of disease, discovering and delivering new drugs, and developing functional biomaterials. Toward addressing these challenges, our group uses engineering principles and fluorescence techniques to develop the tools, approaches, and ideas that will enable us to understand and control the protein-lipid interface.

This presentation will primarily focus on protein-lipid interactions that facilitate sensing and/or generation of membrane curvature, which are processes that are essential to cellular physiology. Specifically, the prevailing structure-function paradigm posits that protein function only arises from specific structural features. However, our recent work has revealed that proteins lacking secondary structure – Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) – can be potent sensors and generators of membrane curvature. The mechanisms for this functional behavior arises from the polyampholytic nature of these unfolded, amino acid chains. Interestingly, IDPs comprise ~40% of the human proteome but only a handful of IDPs have been examined in the context of protein-lipid interactions. Therefore, this paradoxical finding represents a significant, yet unexplored frontier in the field of membrane remodeling. Our most recent findings highlight an example of this disordered functionality in α-Synuclein, which is a neuronal protein heavily implicated with the onset of Parkinson’s Disease. In addition to the investigation of IDPs at biological membranes, this talk will briefly discuss some of our other research areas which include engineering strategies for mitigating lipid peroxidation in cellular membranes and the development of biomembrane-inspired technologies.

Heartfulness Guided Meditation (October 27, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88544 88544-21803357@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly, drop-in program designed to help you nourish your spirit and heal your body and mind.

All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required.

Advanced Wellness techniques are taught on the first Friday of the Month and that session will be about 45 mins.

*What will you learn?*

The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice.

*Why Meditate?*

While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony.

This semester's (Fall 2023) project is a sound installation at the Music School Pond, centered around the topic of the Underground Railroad. We have carefully curated a collection of audio samples, including names of people who played a part in this significant chapter of history (abolitionists, conductors, and freedom seekers), as well as snippets of music that represent the URR. The installation aims to immerse the audience in the aural experience and engage them in interaction.

Join us anytime October 24-28, 12-7pm. (Closed when raining.)

The installation involves utilizing a remote-controlled boat on the Music Pond. We developed a project workflow that treats the pond as a navigational 'map.' Within the pond, we've designated specific locations such that when the remote control boat passes over them, it activates one of the audio samples from our collection. This approach enables active audience participation, with individuals taking control of the boat, effectively making the audience an integral component of our installation.

We believe that leveraging the Music Pond, a shared space for many within the SMTD community, and to actively involve the audience will encourage people to explore and wonder about the installation. It presents a valuable opportunity for visitors to reflect on the Underground Railroad (maybe even plant a seed), take a moment to honor the individuals who played a role in this historical chapter, and contemplate its significance.

The effort to hold the University of Michigan to its responsibilities to Native people has been led by generations of Native American students. This effort culminated in the 2018 report of the Native American Student Task Committee. What has happened at the university as a result of Native student activism? What hasn’t happened? And what should happen in the future?

UNDER THE CAMPUS, THE LAND is a set of public conversations about the place of the U.S. university in Native and settler colonial histories and futures. Organized by Andrew Herscher, these conversations will bring together Native and settler voices speaking to and about the university around four themes: reckoning with the settler university, advancing Native student activism, investigating university land, and making amends to the land. These conversations will take place in conjunction with two exhibitions at the University of Michigan Museum of Art: Andrea Carlson’s Future Cache, which commemorates the Cheboiganing Band of Ottawa and Chippewa people who were violently displaced from land in Northern Michigan now owned by the University of Michigan, and Cannupa Hanska Luger’s You’re Welcome, which explores histories and narratives of land occupied by the University of Michigan.

In “Half-Built House,” Brazilian-American artist Laura Taylor grieves the loss of her childhood friend Tina to COVID. When COVID took Tina’s life, Taylor started ordering identical versions of their childhood games and toys on eBay. As she assembled these objects, Taylor recalled a memory of climbing with Tina through the skeletal frameworks of unfinished houses in the 1970s. Late at night, the girls would pick their way through floorless rooms and speculate about their future inhabitants. In this spirit of imaginative experimentation, Taylor began taking apart her eBay acquisitions. Gathering, breaking, sawing, splicing, painting, gluing, layering, and reassembling these toys became, for her, a way to probe the complicated nature of a lost friendship and to explore the multidimensional nature of grief. Ultimately, Taylor built the framework of an unfinished house to evoke those she once explored with Tina. Taylor describes the house as a “container for grief.”

International Students Career Series: How to Navigate Small Talk (October 27, 2023 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113267 113267-21830625@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 1:00pm

"In the United States, many people participate in what is called """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""small talk"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", where you make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics, such as the weather, sports, or popular television shows. “Small talk” is one of the ways in American culture to chat about harmless topics in order to establish a connection and start to build a friendship.

For example, while waiting for an interview, in line at a M-Den, or in an elevator on campus, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like, “Did you watch the Football Game last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in, or comment on the current situation.

If you are interested in learning more about """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""small talk"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!"

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

How can universities that were founded on colonized land, funded by the colonization of land, and dedicated to advancing colonialism reckon with their histories and the ongoing legacies of those histories in the present moment?

Introduction:
Ethriam Brammer, Assistant Dean and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Implementation Lead, Rackham Graduate School

Panel:
Misty Blue, (White Earth Nation), Grassroots Solutions, Toward Recognition and University-Tribal Healing Project, University of Minnesota

Phenocia Bauerle (Apsaálooke), The University of California Land Grab, University of California, Berkeley

Jon Parmenter, Cornell University and Indigenous Dispossession Project, Cornell University

Respondent:
Matthew Fletcher, Harry Burns Hutchins Collegiate Professor of Law, Law School; Professor of American Culture, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

UNDER THE CAMPUS, THE LAND is a set of public conversations about the place of the U.S. university in Native and settler colonial histories and futures. Organized by Andrew Herscher, these conversations will bring together Native and settler voices speaking to and about the university around four themes: reckoning with the settler university, advancing Native student activism, investigating university land, and making amends to the land. These conversations will take place in conjunction with two exhibitions at the University of Michigan Museum of Art: Andrea Carlson’s Future Cache, which commemorates the Cheboiganing Band of Ottawa and Chippewa people who were violently displaced from land in Northern Michigan now owned by the University of Michigan, and Cannupa Hanska Luger’s You’re Welcome, which explores histories and narratives of land occupied by the University of Michigan.

The Inherent Tension between Managerial and Professional Knowledge (October 27, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114361 114361-21832791@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Professional workers, especially in health care and education, are among the least happy, most burnt-out categories of workers. This should be surprising, given that what they do is inherently meaningful, and that the content of their work is interesting and engages skills that most people find intrinsically rewarding to exercise. I argue that the discontent of so many professionals is likely due to their increasing proletarianization. As professionals become increasingly submerged as employees in large organizations, often operated on a for-profit basis, they suffer losses of professional autonomy. The organizations they work for operate on a managerial logic that disdains and suppresses the kinds of local, personal, practical knowledge that professionals cultivate and need to exercise to do their jobs well. I explore the contrasts between the kind of knowledge managers use to pursue organizational goals and the kind of knowledge professionals use in their everyday interactions with patients, students, and clients, to explain the pervasive burnout of professionals in large organizations.

Cosmo-Astro Seminar | The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Probing the large scale structure with ACT DR6 CMB lensing and cross-correlation with unWISE (October 27, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112631 112631-21829206@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Randall Laboratory
Organized By: Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics Cosmology Astrophysics Seminars

I will present work on probing the large scale structure of the universe using CMB lensing from the upcoming Data Release 6 of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and cross-correlations with galaxies from the unWISE galaxy catalog. My talk will focus on how our highly competitive constraints from CMB lensing and CMB lensing cross-correlations can provide insight into the widely discussed “S8/sigma8 tension”. For this purpose I will briefly introduce the high fidelity CMB lensing reconstruction obtained by the ACT Collaboration and results from the analysis of the lensing auto-correlation. I will discuss new results from the cross-correlation between ACT CMB lensing and unWISE galaxies, highlighting improvements to the analysis pipeline compared to previous work on the cross-correlation between Planck CMB lensing and unWISE by some of my collaborators (Krolewski et al. 2021). I will also show a reanalysis of Planck CMB lensing x unWISE and a joined analysis of the ACT and Planck CMB lensing cross-correlations with unWISE.

Abstract: For Spinoza, each individual has his or her own ingenium, their own personal setsof beliefs, likes and dislikes that help define them as the individuals that they are. And because of that, Spinoza thinks that they should be granted a large degree of freedom in the choice of the religion that they practice. He writes: “Opinions govern men in different ways: those which move one person to devotion, move another to laughter and contempt.” So as long as they subscribe to the true religion, that is, as long as they love their neighbor as themselves, and love God above all, they should be allowed to worship as they please. However, this right does not extend to groups of individuals. The Jewish community, a collective individual can be said to have an ingenium as well. But even so, Spinoza seems unwilling to extend this right to the Jewish community, as opposed to individual Jews. In this talk I will explore why individuals get religious freedom for Spinoza, but groups of individuals don’t.

The Enriques-Kodaira classification is a fundamental result in algebraic geometry that provides a complete and exhaustive classification of compact complex surfaces. The classification is based on the Kodaira dimension, which is a numerical invariant that measures the "complexity" of a surface. In this talk, we will discuss the Enriques-Kodaira classification in detail. We will begin by introducing the Kodaira Embedding Theorem which gives criteria for compact complex manifolds to be embedded into projective space. Then we will be discussing the Kodaira dimension and explaining its significance. We will then present the classification theorem itself, and we will discuss the different types of surfaces that arise in the classification. In addition to the classification theorem, we will also discuss some of the applications of the theorem to solve many important problems in algebraic geometry.

The count of black hole microstates is typically obtained from a supersymmetric index in weakly coupled string theory. I will discuss the index in the strongly coupled theory, as a functional integral in N=2 supergravity in asymptotically flat space. The saddle-points of this index are given by supersymmetric ​"finite-temperature" rotating geometries. I will discuss a new version of the attractor mechanism obeyed by these geometries: the scalar fields at the poles of the Euclidean horizon as well as the free energy of the black hole get attracted to values that depend only on the charges and are independent of the asymptotic moduli and temperature.

Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

How Do You Conceptualize Your Time in Graduate School?: From the Physical to the Philosophical

This workshop will address time management strategies, and effective habits and motivation for early graduate school success.

Time management and productivity may not seem like an exciting topic, but harnessing concrete tactics and strategies for how to maintain autonomy and agency over your own schedule is a crucial skill in graduate school. You will find yourself juggling multiple, and often competing, priorities– and many of them have to do with writing… lots, and lots of writing! This 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop will address time management strategies across scales (from pomodoros to physical planners to semester and year-long planning), as well as considerations regarding habits and motivation. The earlier you find what works for you, the more you can tailor your schedule to fit your life instead of the other way around!

In the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs, Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi people granted land to an institution where their children could be educated. Taking ownership of this grant, the University of Michigan acquired three properties in the 1820s. What needs to be known about the Anishinaabe land grant and the University of Michigan’s use of this grant in order for the university to carry out its treaty obligations?

Presentation:
Andrew Herscher, Professor of Architecture, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning; Professor of History of Art, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

Respondent:
Andrea Carlson, Artist and co-founder of the Center for Native Futures

UNDER THE CAMPUS, THE LAND is a set of public conversations about the place of the U.S. university in Native and settler colonial histories and futures. Organized by Andrew Herscher, these conversations will bring together Native and settler voices speaking to and about the university around four themes: reckoning with the settler university, advancing Native student activism, investigating university land, and making amends to the land. These conversations will take place in conjunction with two exhibitions at the University of Michigan Museum of Art: Andrea Carlson’s Future Cache, which commemorates the Cheboiganing Band of Ottawa and Chippewa people who were violently displaced from land in Northern Michigan now owned by the University of Michigan, and Cannupa Hanska Luger’s You’re Welcome, which explores histories and narratives of land occupied by the University of Michigan.

Racial and ethnic identities play a key role in shaping behaviors, attitudes, institutions and social structures. As such, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students), build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), the only tropical pathway between oceans, impacts global ocean variability and climate through interactions with Indo-Pacific climate modes. Two important climate systems are the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and East Asian Winter Monsoon (EAWM), which restrict surface ITF flow by driving low-salinity surface waters from the South China Sea into the western Indonesian Seas. Changes in South China Sea surface ocean pathways alter the magnitude of heat and freshwater carried by the ITF into the Indian Ocean, with global consequences. However, robust observational data only extends to the 1980s, hindering examination of the balance of ENSO and the EAWM influences on SCS surface ocean pathways. In addition, both ENSO and the EAWM reveal significant biennial variability that describes the poorly understood interactions of these systems. In this talk, I use seasonally resolved coral proxy records of ocean circulation (Δ14C and Ba/Ca) from the western Indonesian Seas to investigate biennial variability in ENSO and EAWM strength and interactions. I show that from 1945-1960, the EAWM strongly influences surface ocean pathways at biennial timescales. Following the 1960s, shifts in EAWM mean state and the frequency of central Pacific El Niño events coincide with reductions in the magnitude of the biennial signal and reversals in EAWM and ENSO influences on circulation. These changes in the balance of ENSO and EAWM influences serve as indicators for future changes in global heat distribution and Indo-Pacific climate, highlighting the importance of records that resolve EAWM-ENSO relationships beyond recent decades.

For the past seven years, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has funded a comprehensive push to refactor 24 application projects to efficiently utilize exascale computing hardware to solve a varied set of complex science and engineering problems. Ambitious performance and capability goals were set for each application that demanded end-to-end rethinking of traditional approaches. Through detailed performance analysis, integration with optimized co-design frameworks and software libraries, and the use of programming abstractions to manage data placement and kernel execution, ECP applications recently demonstrated substantial capability and performance improvements on newly-available exascale machines. Despite significant diversity in the methods and algorithms underlying the ECP application portfolio, several common themes emerged in how to best adapt computational workloads to heterogeneous architectures. In this talk, an overview of best practices and lessons learned on effectively utilizing exascale hardware from the perspective of ECP applications will be presented. Strategies for developing portable, performant code will be discussed and examples of reexamining traditional algorithms and methods will be described. Armed with this knowledge, researchers can go beyond simply surviving an uncertain and turbulent computing future to instead leading a wave of scientific and computational innovation as traditional approaches are reexamined and new approaches adopted.

Abstract
Nuclear security and nonproliferation continue to be of principal focus both domestically and internationally. This focus has resulted in novel detection technologies being the foundation of the verification structure applied to past and future international agreements and treaties. Due to the continuous improvement and expansion of laser components and techniques, the next generation of novel detection technologies will likely include optically based techniques. This talk will focus on the detection of nuclear materials using optical techniques and the future application of optical techniques in nuclear nonproliferation and security.

UNDER THE CAMPUS, THE LAND - 2023 GUIDO A. BINDA LECTURE: TRISTAN AHTONE (October 27, 2023 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113529 113529-21831124@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 5:00pm

Land Grab Universities: A legacy of profit and a just climate future

Through the Morrill Act of 1862, nearly 11 million acres of Indigenous land became seed money for higher education. Land Grant Universities got their money through violence and Indigenous dispossession, but they continue to make money from lands granted through other legislative actions. In this talk, journalist and Land-Grab Universities co-author Tristan Ahtone will cover the history of land grant universities, as well as current efforts to investigate how institutions profit from extractive industries on Indigenous territories.

This event is supported by the Guido A. Binda Exhibit and Lecture fund. For seven decades, Guido Binda, B.Arch.’31, practiced architecture in Western Michigan, specializing in school design. Guido, with his wife Elizabeth, created this fund to provide for an exhibit program and annual lecture by visiting professionals.


UNDER THE CAMPUS, THE LAND is a set of public conversations about the place of the U.S. university in Native and settler colonial histories and futures. Organized by Andrew Herscher, these conversations will bring together Native and settler voices speaking to and about the university around four themes: reckoning with the settler university, advancing Native student activism, investigating university land, and making amends to the land. These conversations will take place in conjunction with two exhibitions at the University of Michigan Museum of Art: Andrea Carlson’s Future Cache, which commemorates the Cheboiganing Band of Ottawa and Chippewa people who were violently displaced from land in Northern Michigan now owned by the University of Michigan, and Cannupa Hanska Luger’s You’re Welcome, which explores histories and narratives of land occupied by the University of Michigan.

Generously supported by the Native American Studies (NAS) Program at the University of Michigan, the U-M Arts Initiative, Stamps School of Art & Design, Stamps Gallery, UMMA, and the Department of the History of Art at the University of Michigan

Location: Hill Auditorium
Organized By: University Musical Society (UMS)

Carlos Miguel Prieto, celebrated as a rising star both domestically and abroad, was named 2019 Conductor of the Year by Musical America and is the foremost Mexican conductor of his generation. He serves as artistic director of México City’s Minería Symphony, which was founded in the 1970s and is widely regarded as the leading musical institution in México — one that regularly supports and programs Mexican composers. Housed at the Academia de Música del Palacio de Minería, the name honors the period from the 18th century when mining was one of the region’s most important economic activities.

Joining the Minería Symphony in their first Ann Arbor performance is Latin Grammy Award-winning pianist/composer Gabriela Montero, a frequent Prieto collaborator. Montero, known for her passionate virtuosity and brilliant improvisation, performs her first piano concerto, a soulful work showing the complexities of South American life. “Montero’s playing has everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power in climactic moments, soulful lyricism in the ruminative passages and, best of all, unsentimental expressivity.” (The New York Times)

The concert includes works by two Mexican composers: Carlos Chávez (1899- 1978), an ethnomusicologist whose Sinfonía India reflects the harmonies, rhythms, melodies, and instruments of the Indian cultures of Mexico, and Silvestre Revueltas, whose concert suite La noche de los mayas depicts Mexico’s preColumbian heritage and is drawn from his highly-regarded 1939 film score.

PROGRAM
Gabriela Ortiz Kauyumari
Carlos Chávez Symphony No. 2 (“Sinfonía India”)
Gabriela Montero Piano Concerto No. 1 (“Latin”)

“Astonishing energy”—Down Beat

The California Guitar Trio plays progressive rock, surf music, jazz, blues, country, probably the definitive version of "Bohemian Rhapsody," and some traditional North African and Asian sounds for good measure. And did you hear them at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival, playing the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, minus the voices but with pretty much everything else pretty much intact? Like most Californians, most of the members of the California Guitar Trio all come from someplace else: Bert Lams is Belgian, Paul Richards is from Salt Lake City, and Chapman Stick wizard Paul Griesgraber came from California but studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Lams and Richards pushed themselves to the limit by enrolling in Robert Fripp's challenging Guitar Craft courses, where they first met in 1987. They went on to tour together as part of Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists before forming The California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later. The CGT is a melding of diverse talents unlike anything you've heard before, and one you can't afford to miss!

Manga no Ryokou: The “Manga Map” and A Journey Through the Art of Depiction in Japanese Cartography (October 28, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111940 111940-21827979@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 28, 2023 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The exhibit examines the intersection between art, narrative, and geography within Japanese cartography. It centers on the titular “manga map”, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore, history, architecture, flora/fauna, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”

Alongside the exhibit, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.

Both the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Shadow and Light : Solidarity and Connection with Iraqi Academics (October 28, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111416 111416-21827045@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 28, 2023 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit incorporates a selection of work from the Shadow and Light project, an initiative memorializing Iraqi academics assassinated between 2003-2013, a timeframe which roughly parallels the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq. 

Participants from around the world — including Iraqis in diaspora — contributed photographs and personal statements responding to the loss of a particular Iraqi academic listed by the Spanish Campaign against the Occupation and for the Sovereignty of Iraq (La Campaña Estatal contra la Ocupación y por la Soberanía de Iraq / IraqSolidaridad 2005-2013). 

The project emerges from a broader effort undertaken by Iraqis and allies to document the assault on Iraqi scholars, intellectuals, and cultural institutions which flared in the wake of the destruction and division wrought by the US-led invasion and occupation. Death threats and assassinations, politically motivated sectarian violence, rampant corruption, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars, authoritarian regimes, and harsh economic sanctions.

This exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics, many of whom were driven into exile.

This exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).

A companion online exhibit, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre), explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war, sanctions, and occupation.

The Sentimental Archive: Remembering Nubia through Salvage Anthropology (October 28, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/113643 113643-21831325@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 28, 2023 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit showcases select photographs from The American University in Cairo’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library taken by the renowned Egyptian photographer Abd al-Fattah Eid as well as by the Cairo-born Swiss artist Margo Veillon.

In 1964, the construction of the Aswan High Dam displaced Nubians from their ancestral villages along the banks of the Nile in Egypt. In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation.

This endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time, space, and circumstance.

This selection of photographs includes persons, places, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.

The exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll, assistant professor of anthropology, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid, doctoral student in anthropology, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.

For a deeper dive, visit the companion exhibit, Narrating Nubia, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological, anthropological, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Illustrating the Renaissance Book: From Illumination to Woodcut (October 28, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109814 109814-21822984@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 28, 2023 9:00am

Enjoy a selection of manuscripts and early printed books from the 15th to the 17th centuries that were illustrated with illuminations and woodcuts. Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700), many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However, as the pages on display attest, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.

The word “Illumination,” from the Latin illuminare, “to enlighten or to illuminate,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece, or first page of text, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter, and even miniatures, that is, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.

Available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).

Join us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez, curator of the exhibit.

Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Stop by the Collections Case display in the museum’s main atrium, behind the mastodons, to see Nature’s Pharmacy.

August 2023–July 2024

Plants and fungi play a vital role in medicine due to the diversity of chemical defense mechanisms they evolved to safeguard them against pathogens, herbivores, and competitors. From its inception, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

Stop by the Student Showcase display in the museum’s main atrium, behind the mastodons, to see Molecules of Life.

August 2023–July 2024

Molecules of Life (Student Showcase)
Discover the connection between form and function as you explore the molecular building blocks of life. In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, form determines function, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry, and Liz Tidwell, PhD candidate in Biophysics, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform, make, break, modify, and move within the body.

There’s more to bees than honey (October 28, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/113189 113189-21830460@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 28, 2023 10:00am

What are native bees?
Native bees are diverse.
Native bees are large.
Native bees are small, Native bees are metallic.
Native bees wear masks. Native bees are specialists.
Native bees are super pollinators.
When we talk about supporting bees, many people naturally think of honey bees. Honey bees can help pollinate crops, especially on farms where there might not be enough native pollinators around. Plus, they are the only bees that produce honey, so you can thank them for that delicious treat. However, when we consider bees’ impacts to society and the environment, it’s essential to consider their natural history.
Honey bees were introduced to the Americas from Eurasia and Africa by humans, which means they haven’t co-evolved with our native plants and animals. Since honey bees have not been a part of Michigan’s ecosystems until relatively recently, their impacts on Michigan’s ecosystems and native plant communities are not as large as their agricultural value. While honey bees are thriving in managed hives, it’s not the same story for our native bee species.
These wonderful creatures are facing challenges due to habitat loss, as their natural homes and food sources are being replaced by agricultural fields, urban areas, and non-native plants. It’s essential to give some attention to our often-overlooked native bees. They come in many different shapes and sizes, and you might not even recognize them as bees at first glance!
This exhibit aims to raise awareness about Michigan’s native bees, their appearance, behavior, and interactions with plants. By understanding and appreciating them better, we hope to inspire everyone to think about how we can support and protect these vital pollinators too.

UNDER THE CAMPUS, THE LAND is a set of public conversations about the place of the U.S. university in Native and settler colonial histories and futures. Organized by Andrew Herscher, these conversations will bring together Native and settler voices speaking to and about the university around four themes: reckoning with the settler university, advancing Native student activism, investigating university land, and making amends to the land. These conversations will take place in conjunction with two exhibitions at the University of Michigan Museum of Art: Andrea Carlson’s Future Cache, which commemorates the Cheboiganing Band of Ottawa and Chippewa people who were violently displaced from land in Northern Michigan now owned by the University of Michigan, and Cannupa Hanska Luger’s You’re Welcome, which explores histories and narratives of land occupied by the University of Michigan.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

The Blessings of the Mystery examines themes of socio-economic, environmental activism, encounters between history and memory, Indigenous rights, and the formation and distribution of knowledge. The exhibition examines the Amistad Dam in Del Rio, the largest dam in Rio Grande that is jointly managed by the United States and Mexico and other contested sites in the region to unravel layered histories, connections, and tensions present in West Texas through film, sculpture, installation, collage, and drawing.
The experimental documentary film Teaching of the Hands is the center point of the exhibition - as it combines oral histories, reenactments, and archival footage to narrate a complex history of colonization, migration, and ecological precarity, Told from the perspective of Juan Mancias, Chairman of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, scenes from the present day are woven together with those from 4,000 years in the past to investigate the transformation of Somi Se’k* by way of industry, infrastructure, and private property.
Emerging from the research to create the film, the exhibition includes an immersive installation of surveying flags and tools, series of drawings and collages, and a collection of original watercolors from the 1930s by artists and amateur archaeologists Forrest and Lula Kirkland that depict the ancient rock art of the Lower Pecos,that expand on concepts in The Teachings of the Hands. The watercolors, rarely seen plein air paintings, are on loan from the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas, and document the original forms and vibrant colors of murals that were still visible in the 1930s before flooding, erosion, and human interaction damaged or destroyed them. This exhibition has been shown in various iterations at Ballroom Marfa, the University of Texas at Austin, the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and University of California, Santa Barbara, and will be shown in Michigan and the midwest for the first time. The Blessings of the Mystery brings together an expansive body of work that sheds light on vital histories, living memories and Indigenous knowledge-systems embedded within the land well before the colonial boundaries between Mexico and the US were established - advocating for environmental justice and recognition of Indigenous rights and cosmologies.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

This semester's (Fall 2023) project is a sound installation at the Music School Pond, centered around the topic of the Underground Railroad. We have carefully curated a collection of audio samples, including names of people who played a part in this significant chapter of history (abolitionists, conductors, and freedom seekers), as well as snippets of music that represent the URR. The installation aims to immerse the audience in the aural experience and engage them in interaction.

Join us anytime October 24-28, 12-7pm. (Closed when raining.)

The installation involves utilizing a remote-controlled boat on the Music Pond. We developed a project workflow that treats the pond as a navigational 'map.' Within the pond, we've designated specific locations such that when the remote control boat passes over them, it activates one of the audio samples from our collection. This approach enables active audience participation, with individuals taking control of the boat, effectively making the audience an integral component of our installation.

We believe that leveraging the Music Pond, a shared space for many within the SMTD community, and to actively involve the audience will encourage people to explore and wonder about the installation. It presents a valuable opportunity for visitors to reflect on the Underground Railroad (maybe even plant a seed), take a moment to honor the individuals who played a role in this historical chapter, and contemplate its significance.

*This event is supported by the Arts & Resistance Theme Semester.*

Positive, richly rhythmic, globally oriented sounds

​​Since 2005 when Erin Zindle first created The Ragbirds, the band has gathered and maintained a passionate, grassroots fan base by continually reinventing themselves with an ever-evolving sound, while remaining rooted in the high-energy, world-inspired folk-rock that they have become known for. With a change of cast in 2019, the band is shifting its weight and focusing more on the melodic components. The rhythms of their new sound leave room for the songs to breathe and for the vocals to take on the spotlight. Now equipped with four vocalists, the band is diving into the textures they can create with vocal harmonies and exploring the newly-created space with instrumental curiosity, adding more improvisational elements into the otherwise-tight arrangements. The sweet energetic charm of lead singer Erin Zindle demands attention. She is an enigma of ageless quality, agile and joyful, yet rooted in wisdom. In her daily life, Erin is devoted to the tedious work of songcraft, but in her performances, the songs flow from her effortlessly, as if she is channeling them, radiating as she sings the words she has polished to a fine shine.

Manga no Ryokou: The “Manga Map” and A Journey Through the Art of Depiction in Japanese Cartography (October 29, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111940 111940-21827980@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 29, 2023 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The exhibit examines the intersection between art, narrative, and geography within Japanese cartography. It centers on the titular “manga map”, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore, history, architecture, flora/fauna, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”

Alongside the exhibit, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.

Both the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Shadow and Light : Solidarity and Connection with Iraqi Academics (October 29, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111416 111416-21827046@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 29, 2023 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit incorporates a selection of work from the Shadow and Light project, an initiative memorializing Iraqi academics assassinated between 2003-2013, a timeframe which roughly parallels the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq. 

Participants from around the world — including Iraqis in diaspora — contributed photographs and personal statements responding to the loss of a particular Iraqi academic listed by the Spanish Campaign against the Occupation and for the Sovereignty of Iraq (La Campaña Estatal contra la Ocupación y por la Soberanía de Iraq / IraqSolidaridad 2005-2013). 

The project emerges from a broader effort undertaken by Iraqis and allies to document the assault on Iraqi scholars, intellectuals, and cultural institutions which flared in the wake of the destruction and division wrought by the US-led invasion and occupation. Death threats and assassinations, politically motivated sectarian violence, rampant corruption, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars, authoritarian regimes, and harsh economic sanctions.

This exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics, many of whom were driven into exile.

This exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).

A companion online exhibit, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre), explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war, sanctions, and occupation.

The Sentimental Archive: Remembering Nubia through Salvage Anthropology (October 29, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/113643 113643-21831326@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 29, 2023 8:00am

This exhibit showcases select photographs from The American University in Cairo’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library taken by the renowned Egyptian photographer Abd al-Fattah Eid as well as by the Cairo-born Swiss artist Margo Veillon.

In 1964, the construction of the Aswan High Dam displaced Nubians from their ancestral villages along the banks of the Nile in Egypt. In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation.

This endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time, space, and circumstance.

This selection of photographs includes persons, places, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.

The exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll, assistant professor of anthropology, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid, doctoral student in anthropology, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.

For a deeper dive, visit the companion exhibit, Narrating Nubia, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological, anthropological, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Illustrating the Renaissance Book: From Illumination to Woodcut (October 29, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109814 109814-21822985@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 29, 2023 9:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Enjoy a selection of manuscripts and early printed books from the 15th to the 17th centuries that were illustrated with illuminations and woodcuts. Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700), many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However, as the pages on display attest, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.

The word “Illumination,” from the Latin illuminare, “to enlighten or to illuminate,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece, or first page of text, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter, and even miniatures, that is, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.

Available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).

Join us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez, curator of the exhibit.

The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Stop by the Collections Case display in the museum’s main atrium, behind the mastodons, to see Nature’s Pharmacy.

August 2023–July 2024

Plants and fungi play a vital role in medicine due to the diversity of chemical defense mechanisms they evolved to safeguard them against pathogens, herbivores, and competitors. From its inception, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.

Stop by the Student Showcase display in the museum’s main atrium, behind the mastodons, to see Molecules of Life.

August 2023–July 2024

Molecules of Life (Student Showcase)
Discover the connection between form and function as you explore the molecular building blocks of life. In the realm of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, form determines function, so visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules is key in researching the ‘tiny’ macromolecules that perform vital functions in our cells. In Biophysics 421, under the guidance of Markos Koutmos, Assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry, and Liz Tidwell, PhD candidate in Biophysics, students created models with digital modeling software and brought them to life via 3D printing. This exhibit showcases the 3D printed molecules, scaled up to better reveal the structures that inform, make, break, modify, and move within the body.

There’s more to bees than honey (October 29, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/113189 113189-21830461@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 29, 2023 10:00am

What are native bees?
Native bees are diverse.
Native bees are large.
Native bees are small, Native bees are metallic.
Native bees wear masks. Native bees are specialists.
Native bees are super pollinators.
When we talk about supporting bees, many people naturally think of honey bees. Honey bees can help pollinate crops, especially on farms where there might not be enough native pollinators around. Plus, they are the only bees that produce honey, so you can thank them for that delicious treat. However, when we consider bees’ impacts to society and the environment, it’s essential to consider their natural history.
Honey bees were introduced to the Americas from Eurasia and Africa by humans, which means they haven’t co-evolved with our native plants and animals. Since honey bees have not been a part of Michigan’s ecosystems until relatively recently, their impacts on Michigan’s ecosystems and native plant communities are not as large as their agricultural value. While honey bees are thriving in managed hives, it’s not the same story for our native bee species.
These wonderful creatures are facing challenges due to habitat loss, as their natural homes and food sources are being replaced by agricultural fields, urban areas, and non-native plants. It’s essential to give some attention to our often-overlooked native bees. They come in many different shapes and sizes, and you might not even recognize them as bees at first glance!
This exhibit aims to raise awareness about Michigan’s native bees, their appearance, behavior, and interactions with plants. By understanding and appreciating them better, we hope to inspire everyone to think about how we can support and protect these vital pollinators too.

Complete collaboration among four close friends

With four distinct voices clustered around a single microphone, Darlingside effortlessly draws audiences into their lush musical world. David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as "a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics." The band's sound, with classical strings, tight vocal arrangements, bluegrass and rock instrumentation, and smart lyricism, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends. The group has no frontman; instead, lead vocals are traded from moment to moment, and each song features a new combination of instruments and textures, pulling heavily from folk, retro-pop, barbershop, and chamber music. The music Darlingside plays is serious, cinematic, and deeply moving. Darlingside has been featured on NPR's World Cafe and in Paste magazine, and they come to Michigan with a new album, “Eliza I See.”
