In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing, autism, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism, and for her, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora, Colorado.

Special Exhibit | Staging Theater: Chinese Operatic Practice and Performance (April 19, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63084 63084-15553756@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

This exhibition will be open every day, April 12-June 30, during Hatcher Library open hours.

Featuring the vibrant paintings of Peking opera face patterns, performance props, and rare books, this exhibition is a tribute to the University of Michigan's commitment to the presentation of Chinese operatic arts and culture. In the Winter Semester of 2019, a Peking opera performer specializing in the jing 淨 role engaged in a Chinese New Year artist-residency; the renown Suzhou Kunqu Opera Theater of Jiangsu Province, China, stages a production of The Lute (Pipa ji 琵琶記); and an international conference examines the critical role of media in the making and remaking of Ming-Qing literature and performance.

All of these endeavors offer the U-M faculty, staff, and students and Michiganers a chance to experience and embrace Chinese operatic arts and literary culture at the highest level and to introduce to the audience traditional Chinese aesthetic and moral values and their challenges and meanings in traditional and contemporary contexts.

Please visit https://ii.umich.edu/lrccs/news-events/events/videos-of-past-events.html to access the online recording of Peking opera performer, Li Yang, in vocal recitation and in the practice of hand painting his own operatic face pattern. Introductions are provided by Professor David Rolston and LRCCS Postdoctoral Fellow Anne Rebull with Professor Joseph Lam being painted at the end of the program as the character Cao Cao

This exhibition is co-organized by Carol Stepanchuk and Liangyu Fu, and is sponsored by the U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. Special thanks to Professor Joseph Lam, Professor David Rolston, and the Confucius Institute.

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

"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency," by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home, privacy, and safety.

The exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication, luxury, and modernism.

In a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet, for Martin and Muñoz, "Blind House" serves as "a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy." Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Robotics PhD Defense: Josh Mangelson (April 19, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62856 62856-15483804@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 9:30am

In manufacturing, teams of robotics systems, working in coordination with one another, have led to dramatic increases in safety, efficiency, and profit. Collaborative teams of robotic vehicles working together in unstructured environments have the potential to yield similar gains in a variety of application areas including automatic inspection of underwater structures. However, autonomous collaboration in real-world environments is significantly more difficult than in the factory. The main reason for this is because in an unstructured environment, fundamental information such as the position of the robotic agent, its relationship to other agents, and a model of the robot's surroundings all have to be estimated by the robotic vehicle online, while their estimation can be simplified or engineered out of the problem in a structured one. This is further complicated by the fact that in underwater environments, failure of a navigation or perception algorithm that estimates the above quantities can result in significant damage or the loss of a vehicle. Moreover, existing algorithms for navigation and mapping in unstructured environments, tend to fail in the presence of outlier measurements, when given a bad initialization, or when using an inaccurate characterization of pose uncertainty.

In this thesis, we propose four methods that bring us closer to robust and consistent multi-agent autonomous inspection. The first is a method for handling outlier measurements when merging maps generated by two agents collaboratively inspecting a structure. The proposed method uses graph theory to enforce that the selected set of measurements are consistent with one another resulting in more consistent maps than existing methods. The second is an initialization agnostic method for aligning robot trajectories based on low-dimensional data. The third is a way of formulating the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem as a convex polynomial optimization problem. This enables us to guarantee that the trajectory estimated by the robotic vehicle is the true solution to the posed optimization problem. Finally, the fourth is method that uses Lie group theory and the Lie algebra to accurately characterize the uncertainty of jointly correlated poses. We evaluate the proposed methods and show that they outperform existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

We conclude with a discussion of "reliable autonomy" by describing a set of additional problems that need to be solved to enable reliable, large-scale, fully-autonomous, multi-agent inspection of underwater structures.

Joshua Mangelson is a Ph.D. Candidate in Robotics at the University of Michigan. His interests lie in the development of navigation, mapping, and perception algorithms that enable the design of reliable field robotic systems that can operate consistently in unstructured environments. He is especially interested in the development of large-scale multi-agent teams for autonomous inspection of underwater structures. He is the recipient of the IEEE ICRA Best Multi-Robot Paper Award and the IEEE OCEANS Best Poster Award both in 2018.

Abstract: A growing number of social psychological studies provide new insight into understanding how a student’s socioeconomic status (SES) of origin influences educational experiences and outcomes. These studies also yield implications for subtle, research-based strategies to reframe how students experience their socioeconomic contexts in order to increase academic motivation and engagement. Destin's talk will describe a series of studies that illustrates how information and messages about opportunity in society and overcoming challenges can be utilized to increase student motivation during adolescence. He will also describe studies that examine the effectiveness of leveraging other social agents in students’ lives, like parents and near peers, to convey motivating identity-based messages. Finally, the research extends into higher education and reveals potential implications for broader notions of health, well-being, and public policy.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (April 19, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53719 53719-13452968@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 11:00am

Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s, that question was hotly debated as artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Al Loving, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Abstract
The Nanoscale Design and Manufacturing Laboratory (NDML) at the University of Texas at Austin focuses on the design and development of novel processes and equipment for the manufacturing of micro and nanoscale devices and structures. The first half of this talk will focus on a new microscale additive manufacturing process, known as microscale selective laser sintering (μ-SLS), that has been developed in the NDML for the fabrication of 3D electronic interconnect structures with micron scale resolutions. In this process, a thin layer of nanoparticle ink is first spread onto the substrate. The substrate is then positioned under an optical subsystem using a custom built nanopositioning device. A laser that has been focused off a micromirror array is then used to sinter the nanoparticles together in a desired pattern with micrometer resolution. Another layer is then coated onto the substrate and the process is repeated to build up the 3D structure. Finally, the unsintered nanoparticles are washed away to reveal the final 3D part. This talk will present the materials science, mechatronic systems, optics designs, and process modeling used to make this additive manufacturing process capable of achieving micrometer resolution with high throughput (~63 mm3/h) over large areas (~ 50 mm x 50 mm).

The second half of this presentation will focus on two projects related to the manufacturing of high quality, flexible electronics: (1) A new roll-to-roll metrology framework for the manufacturing of flexible electronics devices and (2) A new method to precisely exfoliate thin sheets of silicon from bulk silicon wafers. These two projects represent two different approaches to solving the challenge of producing flexible electronics that can compete on performance with conventionally manufactured electronics. The roll-to-roll metrology project tackles the problems currently present in the patterning of repeatable and uniform nanoscale structures on flexible substrates by enabling process control feedback in the roll-to-roll nanopatterning process. This is done by integrating compact, MEMS-based, single chip atomic force microscopes (sc-AFMs) with high scanning speeds directly into a new roll-to-roll metrology framework that greatly increases the throughput and modularity of direct, nanometer-scale measurement on flexible substrates. The exfoliation project takes the opposite approach by taking electronic structures that have been fabricated on conventional silicon substrates and making them flexible by making the silicon layer extremely thin (<5μm). This processes uses a compressive nickel film to create a stress concentration below the top surface of the wafer and polymer film with controlled tension to propagate a crack along this stress concentration. The advantage of this process is that it allows us to cheaply take electronics that have been fabricated using traditional manufacturing processes on bulk silicon wafers and turn them into flexible electronics using just one additional processing step. The presentation will conclude with some thoughts on the future directions of next generation of electronic devices from a manufacturing prospective.

EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY

In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge, memory, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2, 2018 and UMMA through June 2, 2019.

Lead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Cellular reprogramming is a phenomenon where mature, specialized cells can be reprogrammed to immature cells capable of developing into all tissues of the body. Do cells individual cells differ in their ability to reprogram? We address this using cellular barcoding based lineage tracing, and demonstrate that reprogramming dynamics in large "interacting" populations are dominated by “elite” clones [1]. This work highlights the importance of cellular interactions and/or epigenetic heterogeneity in fate programming outcomes. In contrast, tissue regeneration in animals exhibit neutral dynamics between the underlying population of stem cells [2]. Taken together, we show that looking at cell fate transition from the lens of eco-evolutionary lens shed light on underlying biology.

Organized By: Hopwood Awards Program

****This event has been canceled due to changing travel plans. We hope to see you at the 4/18 Hopwood Awards Ceremony instead (Thursday, April 18, 6:00 PM, Rackham Auditorium).****

Please join us in the Hopwood Room for a discussion between essayists Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan. This lunchtime event will be catered; food will be available at 11:30, and the discussion will start at noon.

Hilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town,’ he became a staff writer in 1994, theatre critic in 2002, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week, he brings to the magazine a rigorous, sharp, and lyrical perspective on acting, playwriting, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance, music, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director, its author, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre, race, class, sexuality, and identity in America. Als is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University, Wesleyan, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.

Aisha Sabatini Sloan was born and raised in Los Angeles. Her writing about race and current events is often coupled with analysis of art, film and pop culture. She studied English Literature at Carleton College and went on to earn an MA in Cultural Studies and Studio Art from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Arizona. Her essay collection, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White was published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. Her most recent essay collection, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit, was just chosen by Maggie Nelson as the winner of the 1913 Open Prose Contest and will be published in 2017. She is currently a Helen Zell Visiting Professor in Creative Nonfiction at the University of Michigan.

Neuroscientists often use functional magnetic resonance imag- ing (fMRI) to infer effects of treatments on neural activity in brain regions. In a typical fMRI experiment, each subject is observed at several hundred time points. At each point, the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) response is measured at 100,000 or more locations (voxels). Typically, these responses are modeled treating each voxel separately, and no rationale for interpreting associations as effects is given. Building on Sobel and Lindquist (2014), who used potential outcomes to define unit and average effects at each voxel and time point, we define and estimate both “point” and “cumu- lated” effects for brain regions. Second, we construct a multi-subject multi-voxel multi-run whole brain causal model with explicit param- eters for regions. We justify estimation using BOLD responses av- eraged over voxels within regions, making feasible estimation for all regions simultaneously, and facilitating inference about association between effects in different regions. We apply the model to a study of pain, finding effects in standard pain regions; we also observe more cerebellar activity than observed in previous studies using prevailing methods. We visualize results using whole-brain maps of effects and spatio-temporal correlation plots that illustrate temporally lagged re- lationships between brain regions.

Organized By: School of Information

In June of 2018, following a campaign initiated by activist employees within the company, Google announced its intention not to renew a US Defense Department contract for Project Maven, an initiative to automate the identification of military targets based on drone video footage. Defendants of the program argued that that it would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of US drone operations, not least by enabling more accurate recognition of those who are the program’s legitimate targets and, by implication, sparing the lives of noncombatants. But this promise begs a more fundamental question: What relations of reciprocal familiarity does recognition presuppose? And in the absence of those relations, what schemas of categorization inform our readings of the Other?

The focus of a growing body of scholarship, this question haunts not only US military operations but an expanding array of technologies of social sorting. Understood as apparatuses of recognition (Barad 2007: 171), Project Maven and the US program of targeted killing are implicated in perpetuating the very architectures of enmity that they take as their necessitating conditions. I close with some thoughts on how we might interrupt the workings of these apparatuses, in the service of wider movements for social justice.

Abstract: Irregular changes in menstrual cycles and sex hormones signal a woman’s transition into menopause. Common health outcomes associated with this time period include: vasomotor symptoms, osteoarthritis, decreased bone mineral density, and increased cardiovascular risks. Current research examines the biological mechanisms that regulate this transition. However, further research is needed to determine the best methods for characterizing cyclic patterns of hormones in reproductive physiology.

Fitted representation of these hormones will contribute vital knowledge to the field of women’s health and wellness. This presentation will outline ongoing epidemiological analysis and elicit feedback on potential mechanisms, dynamic modeling, and parameterization of estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone across the menopause transition.

Title:
Precision Mental Health Care through Mobile Technology

Problem Statement:
Problem Statement: Depression, sleep, addiction, anxiety, and suicide are leading, and growing, causes of disability, productivity loss, and premature mortality globally. The number of behavioral health clinicians available to provide traditional face-to-face care is woefully inadequate to meet the growing need. Further, a substantial proportion of patients treated under current healthcare systems do not get better. With evidence to meaningfully guide treatment decisions and objective measures of mental health both lacking, the choice of treatment is often based on clinician preference and simple heuristics.

More than any other recent advance, mobile technology has the potential to address the dual problems of limited clinical capacity and inadequate and untimely data. Mobile technology holds the potential to both track and intervene on mental health symptoms in powerful ways that had not previously been possible. However, little is known about how to derive the greatest value from this technology by targeting patients most likely to benefit and by providing clinicians with the most useful information gleaned from the intensive data collection processes.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In this course, you will read six stories of children who have lived through life events (illness, divorce, etc.) that hindered their development. The psychotherapy process involved primarily play, and opened up a new “playground” where these stressed inside feelings emerged. The feelings were lived out, and gradually new ways to cope were found. These stories have two aims: 1) To provide insight to the reader into these events, and 2) To model the play process so that a parent, relative, or close adult may use this healing process when circumstances permit.

Mr. Chethik is an Emeritus Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry, University of Michigan.
These sessions for those 50 and above meet on Fridays from 1-2:30 p.m. and run from April 19 through May 24.

What are today’s greatest challenges and most important choices? How do we maintain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching? What will the future workplace look like? Yuval Harari, author of the subject book, has a unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going. We will discuss many pressing issues, including problems associated with liberal democracy, nationalism, immigration, religion, and the educational and economic response to automation. The author invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty by presenting complex contemporary challenges in 21 clear and accessible lessons. Each aims to stimulate further thinking and help us participate in some major conversations of our time.
These sessions for those 50 and above will be led by Instructors Gail Hubbard and Ron Frisch. The Study Group meets on Fridays from 1-3 p.m., from April 19-May 17.

The Silk Route is a collection of pathways that together, link China to Vienna, Istanbul, Baghdad, and India across the Inner Asian steppe and desert. During our meetings, participants will discuss the Silk Route as a cultural conduit, on the one hand, as the source of empire and technologies on the other, and participants will look at specific examples of cultural dissemination.
The Silk Route has provided some of the most engaging and best-written volumes of travel literature. There will be no required readings, but students may enjoy Owen Lattimore’s The Desert Road to Turkestan, from 1928, or the Franciscan William of Rubruck’s account of his journey to Karakorum in 1255, where he found a Parisian goldsmith preparing a soft drink dispenser for the Khan.
This Study Group led by Rudi Lindner is for those 50 and over and will meet Fridays, 1:00 -3:00 p.m., April 19 - May 10.

she was here, once (April 19, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59501 59501-14875142@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 1:00pm

Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Advancing Rigor and Relevance: Constructive Replication in the Social Sciences (April 19, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61750 61750-15179235@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 1:30pm

Replication is an essential part of any science, confirming or adjusting our understanding of the world through repeated exploration of a phenomenon of interest. While there has been an increased interest in the role of replication studies, there also exists skepticism regarding the need for more replication. Our empirical analysis of 470 recent studies that use the term ‘replication’ suggests that this criticism stems from a lack of appreciation of the different forms that replication can take, the prevalence (or lack thereof) of many of these forms, and the objectives that are met by one of the least common forms, constructive replication. As such, the purposes of our paper are 1) to explore the different forms that constructive replication can take and the objectives at which each can be directed, 2) to distinguish these forms from other forms of replication with which they are often confused, 3) to determine how common each form of replication is in our field, and 4) to provide concrete examples of different forms of constructiveness from published studies in order to pave the way towards more (and more useful) replications in the future.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Using an interdisciplinary lens, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.

This exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam, Osman Khan, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

There is a deep analogy between Bayesian inference — where we try to fit a model to data, which has a ground-truth structure partly hidden by noise — and statistical physics. Many concepts like energy landscapes, free energy, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability, combinatorics, and theoretical computer science. At their best, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.

One recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs, review what is known rigorously, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

EEB Friday Museums Seminar - Snapp: Guiding anti-venom selection with snake-identification imagery analysis based on artificial intelligence and remote collaborative expertise (April 19, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61918 61918-15239142@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 2:00pm

Snakebite is the second most deadly neglected tropical disease, being responsible for >100,000 human deaths & >400,000 victims of disability & disfigurement globally every year. It disproportionately affects poor and rural communities in developing countries, which also have high venomous snake diversity & the most limited medical expertise & access to antivenom. Antivenom can be life-saving when correctly administered but, since many are monovalent, their administration depends on the correct identification of the biting snake. Snake identification is challenging both due to snake diversity and the potentially incomplete or misleading information provided to clinicians by snakebite victims or bystanders. Clinicians do not necessarily have the knowledge or resources in herpetology to identify a snake from a carcass or photo. To reduce potentially erroneous and/or delayed healthcare actions, we are building the first medical decision-support mobile app for snake identification based on artificial intelligence (AI) and remote collaborative expertise. AI has been used to help identify of birds, plants, and other organisms, & our app will combine computer vision with the expertise from a global network of herpetologists to identify photos of snakes, supporting victims & clinicians when urgent and reliable snake identification is needed. Our ultimate objective is to improve clinical management of snakebite in poor countries with high snakebite burden by supporting clinicians, snakebite victims, and laypeople in the identification of snakes. To do this, we are building a massive global repository of photos of all snakes from museum collections (including VertNet & GBIF as well as digitized slides from historical archives), personal & researcher image collections, open online biodiversity platforms (e.g. iNaturalist, HerpMapper), books, and social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr), updating global range maps for snakes, develop a computer system based on machine learning and computer vision capable of identifying snakes taxonomically using photos and geolocation, challenging communities of citizens & experts worldwide to identify snakes, comparing the speed and accuracy of machine learning with that of citizen scientists & of experts, and establishing an international working group of experts in snake identification to help validate images.

Economic Theory: The Wisdom of a Confused Crowd: Model Based Inference (April 19, 2019 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58628 58628-14520010@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 2:30pm

Abstract
“Crowds” are often regarded as “wiser” than individuals, and pre-diction markets are often regarded as effective methods for harnessing this wisdom. If the agents in prediction markets are Bayesians who share a common model and prior belief, then the no-trade theorem implies that we should see no trade in the market. But if the agents in the market are not Bayesians who share a common model and prior belief, then it is no longer obvious that the market outcome aggre-gates or conveys information. In this paper, we examine a stylized prediction market comprised of Bayesian agents whose inferences are based on different models of the underlying environment. We explore a basic tension—the differences in models that give rise to the possi-bility of trade generally preclude the possibility of perfect information aggregation.

Joint with Larry Samuelson

In recent work, I have argued that, when thinking about race as a social construction, it is important to distinguish between political constructionism, according to which differential relations of power are what is fundamental to the social construction of race, and cultural constructionism, acccording to which socialization into distinct identities and ways of life is what is fundamental. In this paper, I will argue that we find in W.E.B. Du Bois' 1940 book, Dusk of Dawn, the fascinating drama of one of history's greatest theorists of race experiencing and displaying the pull of both types of social constructionism. Focusing especially on the sixth and then the fifth chapters, I will argue that this pulling in different directions is, on the one hand, meant to lead us to confront the complexity and mysteriousness of race but also, on the other hand, ultimately able to suggest to us the path toward properly balancing political and cultural dimensions in our theorization of race.

Life on Earth is linked inextricably to the planet’s rocky substrate. This talk will present new work exploring this connection across scales of space and time, seeking to address the general question of how life and Earth co-evolve. At the microbial scale, lab experiments illuminate mechanisms of nutrient acquisition from minerals, including how specific molecules and biofilms allow microbes to dissolve minerals and “feed” on them in the process. In tropical forests of the Amazon basin, concentration-discharge relationships in small catchments provide hints about how ecosystems that tightly recycle nutrients may be “leaky” during storm events, an effect provisionally attributed to the permeability structure of tropical soils that controls hydrological response. Lastly, over the timescales of mass extinctions, global biogeochemical modeling reveals how the evolution of marine calcifying organisms may have changed the way that the planet responds to global-scale carbon cycle perturbation, perhaps providing one mechanism for explaining apparent correlations between large igneous provinces and mass extinctions. Considered together, these distinct studies have commonality in terms of how organisms and ecosystems shape their relationship with the geological world around them.

Water risks in agriculture supply chains: Material impacts and mitigation strategies from the food and beverage industry (April 19, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62565 62565-15405803@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 3:30pm

In the face of mounting stresses on global water supplies, food and beverage companies are increasingly exposed to financial risks associated with their reliance on water-intensive agricultural commodities. Droughts, floods, eutrophication, and poor manure management not only undermine the security of our food system, but they also pose physical, regulatory, and reputational threats to the financial performance of the food industry. While many of these companies -- and their investors -- have demonstrated growing awareness of water stewardship as a business imperative, others have stagnated, failing to assess their exposure to water risks or set goals to source their commodities more sustainably. I examine how water risks have already had substantial financial impacts on the industry and highlight the efforts of institutional investors to motivate companies to address these risks. Through an analysis of past and forthcoming editions of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty -- a benchmarking of the water risk management efforts of over 40 food and beverage companies -- I review the strategies used by leading companies to enhance the resilience of their agricultural supply chains.

Jacob London is an Associate at Ceres, a Boston-based non-profit organization advocating for sustainable investment, business practices, and public policy. As part of the Water & Agriculture program, his work aims to mobilize food and beverage companies to address water risks in their agricultural supply chains. In this role he conducts research to improve investors' understanding of the financial risks associated with global water stress, and supports shareholder engagements focused on water and agriculture. He is the co-author of the forthcoming edition of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty: How the Food Sector is Managing Global Water Risks, due for release in September 2019.

Conventional macromolecular crystallographic refinement relies on stereochemistry restraints and a rudimentary energy functional to ensure the correct geometry of the model of the macromolecule, along with any bound ligand(s), within the experimental, X-ray density. Traditionally, these highly approximate methods lack explicit, rigorous terms for electrostatics, polarization, dispersion, hydrogen bonds, and other interactions, and they often rely on pre-determined parameters to capture the a priori understanding of the structure. In order to address this deficiency and capture a more complete understanding of the structure, we have developed a fully automated approach for macromolecular refinement based on a two layer, QM/MM (ONIOM) scheme implemented within our DivCon Suite which has been "plugged in" to two mainstream crystallographic packages: PHENIX[1] and BUSTER. This implementation consists of one or more "region layer(s)" characterized using linear-scaling, semi-empirical quantum mechanics, coupled with a "system layer" encompassing the rest of the protein described with a molecular mechanics functional[2].
Armed with a more accurate tool, we not only gain a better understanding of overall protein:ligand structure, but we can also use X-ray data to correctly determine active site tautomer/protomer states[3] and water site locations.
In this talk, we will discuss these methods and explore their impact in the context of binding affinity prediction and structure-based drug discovery.

a musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler

Department of Musical Theatre
Directed by Vincent J. Cardinal
Music Direction by Catherine A. Walker

Sweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all?

Opening on Broadway in 1979, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Score, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway, adapted into a motion picture, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations, performances, interventions, and events by University of Michigan faculty, staff, and students, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan, dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library, Hatcher Graduate Library, and the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library.

The continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment, distribution, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.

Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, the University of Michigan Library, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR), and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

After finding Mannea pottery artifacts at archaeological sites in his hometown of Rabat in the northwest of Kurdistan in Iran, Rezgar Mamandi discovered his passion for ceramic art. His formal studies in ceramic art technique were in Turkey. Now Mamandi creates Manna Pottery, decorative and functional ceramics reproduced from 7th century Mannea Art originals. With hand-painted figures, patterns, shapes and colors, each piece is one-of-a-kind with an ancient, yet contemporary look achieved by using lead-free, high-fire oxidation glazes. To describe his relationship to art, Mamandi quotes Thomas Merton: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”

Gifts of presents Art, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway (April 20, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62140 62140-15302156@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 20, 2019 8:00am

Organized By: Gifts of Art

In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing, autism, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism, and for her, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora, Colorado.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (April 20, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53718 53718-13452702@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 20, 2019 11:00am

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

Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s, that question was hotly debated as artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Al Loving, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY

In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge, memory, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2, 2018 and UMMA through June 2, 2019.

#CosmogonicTattoos

Lead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty, incredible softness, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.

This special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister, Shizuko Iwata, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.

This kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Exhibition | Ancient Color (April 20, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 59301-14728350@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 20, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan (April 20, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62493 62493-15372975@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 20, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Using an interdisciplinary lens, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.

This exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam, Osman Khan, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Saturday Sampler Tour | Newberry Hall and the Tiffany Window (April 20, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61691 61691-15170140@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 20, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

"I've always wondered what was in this building" is a common refrain from visitors to the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. Completed in 1891, Newberry Hall is one of the oldest buildings on the University of Michigan campus. Join us on a guided walk through this Richardsonian Romanesque building and learn about its architecture and fascinating history.

The highlight of the tour is an up-close view of the glorious Tiffany stained-glass window in the Kelsey Museum library. Julia Truettner, U-M preservationist and building historian, describes the window as follows:

"The Fox memorial window utilizes many kinds of glass, including roundels and chunks or nuggets, as well as plated layers, to produce a range of colors from rich claret and deep sapphire to greens, golds, and lighter shades of pinks, yellows, and blues. The abstract design incorporates not only geometric forms but also floral and vegetable motifs, such as the green pods around the perimeter and the petal-like forms at the bottom, which embrace the panels naming the honorees. These forms, plus the medallion at the top with its floral images surrounded by roundels, hint at Tiffany's coming mastery of landscape, figural, and ecclesiastical designs."

Space on the tour is limited to 30 participants. Please register by emailing mullersm@umich.edu.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Lewis & Spence deliver a wide variety of old time classics with solid vocal harmonies, region-specific fiddle tunes, and driving banjo stylings to chase the blues away! Swapping instruments throughout their set, this duo dons an amusing repertoire, punctuated by the occasional flatfoot number, during which Lewis clicks-and-clacks along with the rhythmic phrases as Spence hammers them out on the banjo. Eager to invite audience members to wrestle with the difficult themes that shroud old time music and its history, this duo shares their analysis, questions, and ponderings casually throughout their set. Traveling with an impressive display of cheap art, it’s clear their inspiration ranges from a reverence for traditional music to the looming collapse of our civilization.

a musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler

Department of Musical Theatre
Directed by Vincent J. Cardinal
Music Direction by Catherine A. Walker

Sweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all?

Opening on Broadway in 1979, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Score, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway, adapted into a motion picture, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!

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

A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations, performances, interventions, and events by University of Michigan faculty, staff, and students, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan, dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library, Hatcher Graduate Library, and the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library.

The continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment, distribution, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.

Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, the University of Michigan Library, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR), and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

After finding Mannea pottery artifacts at archaeological sites in his hometown of Rabat in the northwest of Kurdistan in Iran, Rezgar Mamandi discovered his passion for ceramic art. His formal studies in ceramic art technique were in Turkey. Now Mamandi creates Manna Pottery, decorative and functional ceramics reproduced from 7th century Mannea Art originals. With hand-painted figures, patterns, shapes and colors, each piece is one-of-a-kind with an ancient, yet contemporary look achieved by using lead-free, high-fire oxidation glazes. To describe his relationship to art, Mamandi quotes Thomas Merton: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”

These small, intimate artworks use vintage Japanese boro fabrics as backgrounds for personal objects that contain a Wabi-Sabi spirit.

Gifts of presents Art, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway (April 21, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62140 62140-15302157@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 21, 2019 8:00am

In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing, autism, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism, and for her, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora, Colorado.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (April 21, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53718 53718-13452756@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 21, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Museum of Art

Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s, that question was hotly debated as artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Al Loving, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY

In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge, memory, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2, 2018 and UMMA through June 2, 2019.

#CosmogonicTattoos

Lead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty, incredible softness, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.

This special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister, Shizuko Iwata, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.

This kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (April 21, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58797 58797-14561445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 21, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s explores large-scale works of art by Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson, Sam Gilliam, and Al Loving, within the context of highly-charged debates of the early 1970s about aesthetics, politics, race, and feminism. This exhibition explores the gendered and racialized terms upon which great art was defined and assessed, and the strategy of artists to question the identity and aesthetics of the artist making the art. UMMA docents will help visitors look through the lens of the four artists’ works to explore the aesthetic choices inherent in abstraction as well as the acts of staining, pouring, draping, —or even taking apart the wall itself—within this charged political context.

Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan (April 21, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62493 62493-15372976@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 21, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Using an interdisciplinary lens, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.

This exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam, Osman Khan, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

a musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler

Department of Musical Theatre
Directed by Vincent J. Cardinal
Music Direction by Catherine A. Walker

Sweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all?

Opening on Broadway in 1979, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Score, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway, adapted into a motion picture, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!

Join us on Tuesday, April 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery (1st Floor, 913 S. University Ave.) for the all new Academic Innovation at Michigan for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (AIM for DE&I) Speaker Series. This talk will be the second of four throughout April and May aimed at exploring issues at the intersections of teaching and learning; technology; and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Talk Information:

Augmented Empathy: How can design bring empathy back in an increasingly disconnected world

Come join an interactive storytelling journey to explore identity; how identities are connected to the communities and sub-cultures to which we belong. Whether it evolves out of geography or perception, this is an exploration of the building blocks of augmenting empathy with Bayete Ross Smith.

Bayeté Ross Smith is a photographer and multimedia artist from New York whose collaborative projects Along The Way and Question Bridge: Black Males have shown at the Sundance Film Festival and several others. He is a TED Resident and an embedded media maker with POV/Am Doc and The New York Times, and he has exhibited his work internationally. He is a faculty member at the International Center of Photography and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Bayeté uses photography, video and public installation to investigate the ways we perform our racial, gender and cultural identities through clothing, music and the communities of affinity we choose. He reveals both the pleasure of performing our chosen personas, as well as the dangers of perceiving these personas in others.

All members of the University of Michigan community including faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.

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

A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations, performances, interventions, and events by University of Michigan faculty, staff, and students, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan, dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library, Hatcher Graduate Library, and the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library.

The continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment, distribution, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.

Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, the University of Michigan Library, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR), and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Born and raised in India, Bala Thiagarajan has a passion for colors and patterns that are inspired by Indian culture. Her henna-inspired designs as Mandala paintings are an attempt to capture the ephemeral nature of these everyday art forms onto more enduring surfaces. Mandalas are used for facilitating personal growth, healing, grounding and transformation. Thiagarajan’s paintings greet viewers with the familiarity of repetitive patterns, while creating an exciting opportunity to explore texture and geometry. Based in Wood Dale, Illinois, Thiagarajan exhibits her work throughout the Midwest and will be participating in the 2019 Ann Arbor South University Art Fair.

Gifts of Art presents Manna Pottery by Rezgar Mamandi (April 22, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/61746 61746-15179106@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 22, 2019 8:00am
Location: Taubman Center
Organized By: Gifts of Art

After finding Mannea pottery artifacts at archaeological sites in his hometown of Rabat in the northwest of Kurdistan in Iran, Rezgar Mamandi discovered his passion for ceramic art. His formal studies in ceramic art technique were in Turkey. Now Mamandi creates Manna Pottery, decorative and functional ceramics reproduced from 7th century Mannea Art originals. With hand-painted figures, patterns, shapes and colors, each piece is one-of-a-kind with an ancient, yet contemporary look achieved by using lead-free, high-fire oxidation glazes. To describe his relationship to art, Mamandi quotes Thomas Merton: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
