Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition.

A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176738@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130221T074403 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130310T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different? DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Justin and his band\, the Not Ready for Naptime Players\, dish out intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents. Roberts started out in the Minneapolis indie rock band Pimentos for Gus\, which inspired a devoted but small following. So Roberts decided to moonlight (during the day) as a Montessori preschool teacher. Soon he began writing songs for a new generation of fans: his students. He was soon being compared to everyone from Elvis Costello to Fountains of Wayne and Nick Lowe. It was clear that Justin had figured out the elusive trick of appealing to both kids and adults. Kiddie mosh pits broke out\, word spread\, and shows started selling out–at renowned venues like New York'\;s Symphony Space and even Lollapalooza. Justin'\;s "\;Meltdown"\; CD was named by Time Out NY Kids to its list of the best children'\;s music of the last 30 years\, and he'\;s coming to town with a brand new collection of lullabies.

His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176739@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130307T094844 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130311T115500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130311T125000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ELPP Lecture Series: jody Freeman DESCRIPTION:Please join us Monday\, March 11 for our Environmental Law Lecture Series event.

Swearingen as half of the Simon & Garfunkel tribute duo that's done several great shows at The Ark but he's also been writing\, performing\, and producing his own style of acoustic music for the last 20 years. His voice is rich and uniquely soulful and his contemporary songwriting clearly pays homage to the standout iconic folk-rock-pop artists of the past. A.J has also shared the stage with numerous recording artists including Livingston Taylor\, Kenny Rogers\, Jonathan Edwards\, John Gorka\, Dave Mason\, and Tom Rush. Michigan-born Jayne Kelli is an old soul in her 20s who writes eloquently on romantic strife\, feeling out of place\, and hitting highs from rock bottom. Jayne has toured Italy\, England\, and Switzerland and was selected as one of the 2011 favorites on the WMNF radio Florida Folk Show. Together Swearingen & Kelli are a fresh duo on the music scene\, known for rich and silky vocals. They cross genres from acoustic folk to edgier and darker indie pop\, and they're not quite like any other duo out there!

The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176740@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130311T111511 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130312T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130312T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Academic Coaching - Improving Focus\, Concentration and Memory DESCRIPTION:Information now reaches students from many sources\, including print\, digital and lecture.

Then came the summer of 2012\, when the southeastern European country\, already a cause of concern to Western Europe because of reports of creeping lawlessness and political corruption\, tried on a more authoritarian political identity\, as a second Belarus or Venezuela. Officials in the EU and U.S. winced and unequivocally called upon the new Romanian government to abide by its commitments. Professor Tismaneanu will examine the dynamics of de-democratization in Romania\, the main political actors\, and the ongoing battle between friends and foes of an open society.\n\nVladimir Tismaneanu is professor of politics at the University of Maryland (College Park). In 2006\, he served as chairman of the Presidential Commission for the Analysis of the Communist Dictatorship in Romania. From 1998-2004 he was editor of East European Politics and Societies and continues to serve on the journal's editorial committee. His books include Reinventing Politics: Eastern Europe from Stalin to Havel (Free Press\, 1992)\; Fantasies of Salvation (Princeton UP\, 1998)\; Stalinism for All Seasons: A Political History of Romanian Communism (University of California Press\, 2003)\; and The Devil in History: Communism\, Fascism\, and Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century (University of California Press\, 2012). He is the editor of numerous volumes\, including Stalinism Revisited\, The Promises of 1968\, and The End and the Beginning (co-ed.\, Bogdan C. Iacob)\, all published by CEU Press. Professor Tismaneanu is a regular book reviewer for Times Literary Supplement and International Affairs and serves on the board of Journal of Democracy. He was a Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Fellow in 2008-09. His current project\, a book under contract with Cambridge University Press\, deals with democracy and memory in post-communist Romania and is based on the author’s experience as head of the Presidential Commission.

Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs: \"Off the Beaten Path: A Journalist's Journey to the Killing Fields of Postwar Poland\" DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the intrepid Mordkhe Tsanin\, who unlike other journalists returning to Poland shortly after WWII had no interest in the survivors and their stories. Tsanin traveled where others would not dare\, using a British passport to further his disguise as an English journalist. Relentlessly he pursued the physical remains of Jewish patrimony in Poland. After six months\, he left\, dismayed by the rapid disappearance of the physical traces of Jewish Poland but believing he had uncovered a lost treasure of Jewish relics\, assembled by two men who hoped to sell the collection for a nominal sum. The story of his failure to arrange for the collection's transfer to Israel contains within it the tragic sense of the past becoming irretrievable even as it slips through the traveler's fingers.

In Elm Park\, 1955\, Ann Arbor based storyteller La’Ron Williams combines an adult’s analysis and wisdom with the fully believable wonderment\, confusion\, and fear he felt as a child growing up on the south side of Flint\, Michigan in the midst of social upheaval. Listeners of every color and background are drawn into his story precisely because it is suffused with a child’s sincerity and genuine bafflement that the reality he lived didn’t match the stories he was taught about his country – or himself – on TV\, at school\, and in the society at large. This story offers a powerful\, non-threatening means to approach the examination of structural racism and unconscious bias. With his storyteller’s sensibility\, Williams is able to enliven and personalize complex issues\, and to encourage his listeners to think deeply about their own socialization process.\n\nLa’Ron Williams is a nationally acclaimed\, award-winning storyteller who has toured extensively presenting performances and workshops. His highly participatory\, music-spiced programs present a dynamic blend of original and traditional tales crafted to help promote peaceful conflict resolution\, foster cooperation\, reveal invisible bias\, encourage community\, build self-esteem\, and deepen our historical understanding of the ideal of American democratic inclusion. La’Ron is a member of the National Storytelling Network\, the Detroit Association of Black Storytellers\, and the National Association of Black Storytellers. He is a past recipient of a countywide “Annie Award” for Artistic excellence\, and has been recognized by the Ann Arbor African-American community as one of their “Kwanzaa Flames”.\n\nOffered as part of the Understanding Race Project\, this event is co-sponsored by the U-M Understanding Race Theme Semester\, Michigan Theater\, and U-M Museum of Natural History.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176741@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130111T103445 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130313T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130313T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture DESCRIPTION:Vladimir Tismaneanu\, professor of comparative politics\, University of Maryland.\n\nIdeas do matter: this is one of the most significant lessons of a century of unprecedented brutality and violence. Reflecting on his own experiences within communist totalitarianism\, Professor Vladimir Tismaneanu's lecture will discuss political passions\, radicalism\, utopian ideals\, and their catastrophic consequences in the twentieth century's experiments in social engineering. His recent book\, The Devil in History\, compares communism and fascism as competing\, sometimes overlapping\, and occasionally strikingly similar systems of political totalitarianism. He examines the inherent ideological appeal of these radical\, revolutionary political movements\, the visions of salvation and revolution they pursued\, the value and types of charisma of leaders within these political movements\, the place of violence within these systems\, and their legacies in contemporary politics. In Professor Tismaneanu's view\, no ideological commitment\, no matter how absorbing\, should ever prevail over the sanctity of human life. He comes to the conclusion that no party\, movement\, or leader holds the right to dictate that followers renounce their critical faculties and embrace a pseudo-miraculous\, mystically self-centered\, delusional vision of mandatory happiness.\n\nVladimir Tismaneanu is professor of politics at the University of Maryland (College Park). In 2006\, he served as chairman of the Presidential Commission for the Analysis of the Communist Dictatorship in Romania. From 1998-2004 he was editor of East European Politics and Societies and continues to serve on the journal's editorial committee. His books include Reinventing Politics: Eastern Europe from Stalin to Havel (Free Press\, 1992)\; Fantasies of Salvation (Princeton UP\, 1998)\; Stalinism for All Seasons: A Political History of Romanian Communism (University of California Press\, 2003)\; and The Devil in History: Communism\, Fascism\, and Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century (University of California Press\, 2012). He is the editor of numerous volumes\, including Stalinism Revisited\, The Promises of 1968\, and The End and the Beginning (co-ed.\, Bogdan C. Iacob)\, all published by CEU Press. Professor Tismaneanu is a regular book reviewer for Times Literary Supplement and International Affairs and serves on the board of Journal of Democracy. He was a Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Fellow in 2008-09. His current project\, a book under contract with Cambridge University Press\, deals with democracy and memory in post-communist Romania and is based on the author’s experience as head of the Presidential Commission.

Monuments such as the Parthenon\, Erechtheion\, and Theater of Dionysos (to name only a few) serve as visual reminders of Athens’ glory during the Classical Age. But scholars have neglected the era in Athenian history when Rome held dominion over all of Greece and the “Golden Age” of Athens was long passed. The Romans heavily patronized the city with endowments of magnificent buildings and monuments that outwardly reflect and honor Athens’ past glory\, yet also readily testify to the reality of Roman domination. Considering the heavy debt the Romans owed to Greece with respect to their own art and culture\, it is curious to note the Roman contributions to Athenian art and architecture. \nThis talk traces the topographical and architectural changes Athens underwent during the formative period of Roman control\, which occurred during the late Hellenistic period and to the mid-first century AD. There is a particular emphasis on the role Augustus played in the civic transformation based on past research by the lecturer. Monuments to be discussed include the Parthenon\, Agora\, Temple of Roma and Augustus\, Roman Market\, and others.

Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture. “Finding Nemesis.” DESCRIPTION:Eric Bogosian\, playwright\, novelist and actor. Helmut Stern Auditorium\, University of Michigan Museum of Art\, 525 S. State\, Ann Arbor.\n\nBogosian will discuss how his decision to write a screenplay about the assassination of Talat Pasha led him to write a non-fiction history of the Nemesis assassins and their context. For nearly five years he has thrown himself into a crash course on Armenian and Turkish history\, interviewing prominent historians around the world\, translating primary texts from Armenian\, French\, and German\, and conducting primary research in the British archives. Bogosian will talk about his research and writing process as well as conclusions he has drawn after immersing himself in the topic.\n\nEric Bogosian is best known as a playwright\, novelist\, and actor. Most recently he starred with Laura Linney on Broadway in Donald Margulies' Time Stands Still\, and in 2012 he completed work on a study of Soghomon Tehlirian and the Nemesis conspiracy. Bogosian wrote and starred in the play Talk Radio (NYSF\, 1987\; Broadway with Liev Schreiber\, 2007)\, for which he received Pulitzer Prize and Tony award nominations. For his film adaptation of the play\, Bogosian received the Berlin Film Festival Silver Bear Award. In addition to Talk Radio\, Bogosian has written a number of full-length plays including subUrbia (LCT\, Second Stage\, adapted to film)\, Griller (Goodman)\, Red Angel (Williamstown Theater Festival)\, Humpty Dumpty (The McCarter)\, and 1+1 (New York Stage and Film). He is also the author of three novels - Mall\, Wasted Beauty\, and Perforated Heart - and a novella\, Notes from Underground. As an actor\, Bogosian has appeared in numerous films and television programs\, starring in Robert Altman's The Caine Mutiny Court Martial\, Oliver Stone's Talk Radio\, Under Siege II\, Wonderland\, and as Captain Danny Ross on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. His six solo Off-Broadway performances between 1980 and 2000 - including Drinking in America\; Sex\, Drugs\, Rock & Roll\; and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee - received three Obie awards. He lives in New York with his wife\, director Jo Bonney.

The Texas native grew up in Houston with a mother who introduced her to the Great American Songbook. Her self-released debut album \"Take To the Sky\" hit the top 20 on Billboard’s jazz charts\, adding enough juice that she found herself playing gigs with Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett. A musical kinship with Lyle led to a high-profile duet on the Christmas classic “Baby\, It’s Cold Outside” which the pair performed together on tour as well as on \"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.\" This set the stage for \"Way Down Low\,\" her second record and first to include her original material. The album hit number one on the iTunes jazz chart. After selling out club shows in New York\, Boston\, Houston\, and Los Angeles\, Edmonson hit the road last fall supporting fellow Austin musician Gary Clark Jr. and later\, Chris Isaak. \"I think she’s great\,\" says Lyle. \"She’s got such an authentic\, almost old-time jazz quality about her.\" Like the famous Texan Norah Jones\, Kat is finding her way between jazz and contemporary songwriting.

His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\".

A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176742@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120925T114850 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130314T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130314T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nourish YourSELF DESCRIPTION:Nourish YourSELF seeks to empower self-identified women of color around issues of identity\, intercultural competency\, and health and wellness that affect them in an open\, spirited atmosphere.

This pattern\, I argue\, could not have developed independently from what I refer to as the \"Japanese corporate gender contract.\" The \"signatories\" of this contract include not only male corporate warriors and full-time housewives\, but also the Japanese State\, which should be seen as a conglomerate of various agencies such as the corporate sector\, the media and the market. The burst of the economic bubble has undoubtedly had an impact on the corporate system and its strength.

In Community Ecologies\, three transdisciplinary scholars of biology and feminist science studies will discuss their collaborative theoretical and experimental work on \"invasive species.\" Banu Subramaniam (Women\, Gender\, Sexuality Studies\, UMass-Amherst)\, Peggy Schultz (Biology Outreach\, Indiana)\, and James Bever (Biology\, Indiana) will ask how certain plant and animal species come to be seen as invasive – and thus foreign – and how this terminology parallels language around humans and migration. How might experiments on soil/plant interactions speak to xenophobia? How does invasion biology relate to community ecology? And\, what does it mean to do ecology as a critically and politically engaged scientist? The speakers discuss their deeply interdisciplinary and collaborative research\, and its compelling implications for close ties between feminist science studies\, transnational feminisms\, and biology/ecology.\n\nThis lecture is part of IRWG's Program in Feminist Science Studies.

Phylogeographic analyses reveal nonconcordant\, dynamic changes in species distributions within regions\, requiring species-specific mechanisms. I will argue that coevolutionary interactions between hosts and their pathogens likely influence species distributions and contribute to patterns of species richness.

Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor\, and are free of charge and open to the public.\n\nJanuary 17: RENOIR and SURREALIST PARIS in Black & White \nA short film directed by Renoir in the late twenties\, right after he had discovered jazz\, Sur un air de Charleston is a little masterpiece\, albeit unknown\, of the silent movie period. In 2028 Paris\, a mysterious African explorer lands with his aeronef on Terra Incognita. There\, he meets a beautiful young Parisian dancer\, who eventually initiates him to the pleasures of Charleston.\nAn essay in reverse anthropology\, a burlesque and surrealist vaudeville\, Sur un air de Charleston is a singular piece of art. A product of the roaring twenties\, it can be construed as a critique of France’s racial context\, then at the height of its colonial Empire. But it also has to be considered on the much broader scale of transatlantic cultural exchanges. Thus\, we start to envision some of the unsuspected links that irrigate and reconfigure the seamingly neat cartography of Western modernism. \nTwo musicians\, Olivier Thémines and Guillaume Hazebrouck\, invite you with anthropologist Emmanuel Parent to discover this astonishing movie with a ciné-concert/conference. The movie\, accompanied by a live original music\, will be followed by a lecture and discussion on the question of race within the artistic context of 1920s France. \n\nJanuary 24: WILSON SMITH \nWilson W. Smith III is a Design Director at Nike\, Inc.\, Beaverton\, Oregon. Smith is currently involved in Nike's Better World projects\, and is a lead designer as a part of Nike's \"Innovation Kitchen\". After becoming a Senior Designer in 1990\, Smith was involved primarily with the concepts of Nike's cross-training and basketball products.\nSmith established much of the design direction for Tennis footwear throughout the 1990s\, and created many athlete-endorsed products including Andre Agassi's signature line. In 1997\, Wilson Smith became the first dedicated designer for Jordan brand\, and is best known for designing the Jordan 16(XVI) and 17(XVII). In 2003\, Wilson became the Design Director of Nike Court\, encompassing all tennis & racquet driven footwear\, while also designing signature products for Nike endorsees Serena Williams\, and Roger Federer. Black Enterprise Magazine recently named Wilson one of America’s Top Black Designers. \n\nJanuary 31: LISA STRAUSFELD\nLisa Strausfeld’s work lies at the intersection of physical and virtual space: where information structures and physical structures meet\, and where the navigation of information and the navigation of buildings join in a single experience. She and her team specialize in digital information projects including the design of large-scale media installations\, software prototypes and user interfaces\, signage and websites for a broad range of civic\, cultural and corporate clients including One Laptop per Child\, GE\, Litl\, Bloomberg\, Gallup\, The New York Times\, M.I.T.\, Brown University\, the Museum of Arts and Design and the Detroit Institute of Arts.\nStrausfeld holds four patents relating to user interfaces and intelligent search and retrieval\, and in 2006 she was named to the Senior Scientist program at the Gallup Organization. In addition to many awards and honors\, Strausfeld was selected as one of Fast Company's \"Masters of Design\" in 2009 and received the National Design Award in the category of Interaction Design in 2010.\n\nFebruary 7: El ANATSUI\nEl Anatsui was born in Anyanko\, Ghana in 1944. Many of Anatsui’s sculptures are mutable in form\, conceived to be so free and flexible that they can be shaped in any way and altered in appearance for each installation. Working with wood\, clay\, metal\, and–most recently–the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles\, Anatsui breaks with sculpture’s traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. The colorful and densely patterned fields of the works assembled from discarded liquor-bottle caps also trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange in Africa\, told in the history of cast-off materials. The sculptures in wood and ceramics introduce ideas about the function of objects (their destruction\, transformation\, and regeneration) in everyday life\, and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols. El Anatsui received a BA from the College of Art\, University of Science and Technology\, Kumasi\, Ghana (1969) and since 1975 has taught at the University of Nigeria\, Nsukka. His works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; Indianapolis Museum of Art\; British Museum\, London\; and Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, among many others. Major exhibitions of his work have appeared at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute\, Williamstown (2011)\; Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto (2010)\; National Museum of Ethnology\, Osaka (2010)\; Rice University Art Gallery\, Houston (2010)\; Venice Biennale (2007)\; and the Biennale of African Art\, Senegal (2006). El Anatsui lives and works in Nsukka\, Nigeria.\n\nFebruary 21: TANIA BRUGUERA\nTania Bruguera is one of the leading political and performance artists of her generation. Her work researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life\, creating a public forum to debate ideas in a state of contradiction\, focusing on the transformation of the \"viewer\" into one of \"citizenry.\" Bruguera's terms “arte de conducta” (conduct/behavior art) and “arte útil” (useful art) define her practice. In 2010\, Bruguera launched Immigrant Movement International\, a five-year project that helps define the immigrant as a unique\, new global citizen in a postnational world and tests the concept of “useful art\,” by artists actively implementing the merging of art into society’s urgent social\, political\, and scientific issues.\nBruguera’s work has been presented internationally at Documenta 11\, Kassel\, Germany and several biennials including Performa\, Venice\, Gwangju\, and Havana. She has exhibited at the Tate Modern\, London\; Künsthalle Wien\, Vienna\; Centre Pompidou\, Paris\; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York. \n\nMarch 14: LYNDA BARRY\nLynda Barry has worked as a painter\, cartoonist\, writer\, illustrator\, playwright\, editor\, commentator and teacher and found they are very much alike.

Hundred! Demons!\, The! Greatest! of! Marlys!\, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel\, Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! and The Good Times are Killing Me\, which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor's Award. In 2011\, Drawn & Quarterly published Blabber Blabber Blabber\, the first in a 10-volume retrospective series of her comics work. Her bestselling and acclaimed creative writing-how to-graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly\, What It Is (2008)\, won the Eisner Award for Best Reality Based Graphic Novel and R.R. Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author.\nWhat It Is (2008) is based on “Writing the Unthinkable”\, a tried-and-true method creative method that is playful\, powerful\, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or remember. With What It Is and Picture This (2010)\, Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination\, where play can be serious\, monsters have purpose\, and not knowing is an answer unto itself.\n\nMarch 21: KEN BURNS\nDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films for PBS for more than 25 years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981\, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North as the “most influential documentary of all time\,” and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the “most influential documentary makers” of all time. In March\, 2009\, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said\, “”¦ Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day\, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films\, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.” The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films\, “More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.” Ken’s films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations\, and in September of 2008\, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards\, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.\nBurns' documentaries include The Civil War\, Baseball\, Jazz\, Thomas Jefferson\, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Mark Twain\, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson\, The War\, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea\, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.\n\nMarch 28: CARMELITA TROPICANA\nCarmelita Tropicana (a.k.a. Alina Troyano) is a performance artist\, playwright\, and actor. Troyano burst on New York’s downtown performing arts scene in the eighties with her alter ego\, the spitfire Carmelita Tropicana and her counterpart\, the irresistible archetypal Latin macho Pingalito Betancourt\, followed by performances as Hernando Cortez’s horse and la Cucaracha Martina from her childhood fairy tales in Cuba. In Tropicana’s work humor and fantasy become subversive tools to rewrite history.\nTropicana’s performances plays and videos have been presented at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Art in London\, Hebbel Am Ufer in Berlin\, Centre de Cultura Contemporanea in Barcelona\, the Berlin International Film Festival\, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York\, the Mark Taper Forum’s Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles\, and El Museo del Barrio in New York.

His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

Many assume that this demographic boom is directly linked to the increase in North African (mostly Moroccan) immigration to Spain since the country’s incorporation in the European Union in 1986. In fact\, Spain’s Muslim population is quite diverse: it not only includes large immigrant communities from North Africa\, sub-Saharan Africa\, and South Asia\, but also hundreds of thousands of native-born Spanish converts to Islam. The rise of Islam in contemporary Spain has coincided with a profound reevaluation of Spanish national identity. In the post-Franco era\, Spanish intellectuals and politicians have striven to celebrate and promote Spain’s medieval Islamic heritage as evidence of the country’s tradition of exceptional tolerance and multiculturalism. The promotion of Spain’s Islamic past is not only political but also commercial: one of the most profitable segments of Spain’s tourism industry is built on marketing the concept of convivencia\, the supposedly harmonious coexistence of Christians\, Muslims\, and Jews in medieval Iberia. Yet\, in a 2008 survey by the Pew Research Center\, 52% of Spaniards confessed to having negative views of Muslims\, and recent projects to build mosques in Cataluña and Andalucía have faced vitriolic public opposition.\n\nThe international symposium “Islam in Contemporary Spain: Identities and Representations\,” part of the Islamic Studies Program’s series on “Global Islam\,” seeks to examine the promises and challenges facing contemporary Spain’s diverse Muslim population and also to analyze the contradictory representations of Islam and Muslims in contemporary Spanish society. The symposium will bring together the leading scholars and activists working on Spanish Islam in both Spain and the United States.\n\nIt will be divided into two panels: a morning panel on the topic of “Identities” and an afternoon panel on the topic of “Representations.” The first panel on “Identities” will feature representatives from two of the most important Islamic organizations in Spain:\n\nMounir Benjelloun\, a naturalized Spanish citizen of Moroccan origin who was recently elected the president of the Islamic Commission of Spain\, the main representative body for Muslims in Spain\; and\n\nMariam Isabel Romero Arias\, a member of the executive committee of the Junta Islamica and the director of the Instituto Halal in Cordoba.\" \n\nThe second panel on “Representations” will feature anthropologists and cultural studies experts whose research focuses on competing representations of Islam in contemporary Spain:\n\nJosé Antonio González Alcantud (University of Granada\, Spain) and\n\nMikaela Rogozen-Soltar (Emory University). \n\nAvi Astor (Pompeu Fabra University)\n\nWe envision that this symposium will be of interest to faculty and graduate students in a wide range of disciplines at the University of Michigan: Islamic studies\, Hispanic studies\, Middle Eastern and North African studies\, anthropology\, history\, sociology\, political science\, and religion.\n\nThe event will be free and open to the public.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176743@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130228T160234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130315T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130315T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Andrew King / Erb Institute Colloquium DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 15 \n12:00-1:30pm\, Ross R0230\nThe Erb Colloquium is an informal gathering\, please feel free to bring your lunch.\n\nCo-Sponsored by: Ross Strategy\n\nMore info: \nhttp://erb.umich.edu/HTML-Email/colloquia/12-13/AndrewKing.html?utm_source=Erb+Institute&utm_campaign=ed8794fa19-Andrew_King2_21_2013&utm_medium=email UID:12759-1182176@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12759 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:andrew king,dartmouth college,environmental innovation,erb colloquium,policy,research LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R0230 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130128T100447 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130315T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130315T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Law Application Jumpstart DESCRIPTION:Are you considering applying to law school?

The unprecedented hyper-growth of the sprawling mega-cities of the (so-called) Global South\, coupled with the proliferation of post-industrial “shrinking cities” in the core areas of the world economy\, has fundamentally altered the pace and form of global urbanism. Yet the dominant theories used to study cities remain largely tied to the urban experience of a handful of leading world-class cities of Europe and North America. There is a growing interest in re-conceptualizing the field of urban toward a less-deductive theoretical openness that seeks through comparison and contrast to account for the historical-spatial specificity of those cities which are “off the map.” UID:12219-1180670@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12219 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:george clooney,human rights,humanitarianism,international,sudan LOCATION:Michigan League - Kalamazoo Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130307T144830 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130315T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Orientalizing Fraud and the Sistine Chapel Frescoes: Annius of Viterbo and Michelangelo DESCRIPTION:The notoriety of Annius of Viterbo\, aka Giovanni Nanni\, as a successful fraudster\, has distracted historians from appreciating his legacy. His anthology of forgeries\, Vetustissmi Auctores (Most Ancient Authors) published in 1498\, rewrote ancient history. He was an early promoter of Christian Hebraism\, and his elevation by Pope Alexander VI in 1499\, to become his chief theological advisor\, signaled his influence in Rome. After his death in 1502\, his fabrications continued reverberating through the sermons of his devotee\, the most respected preacher in Rome during the first third of the sixteenth century\, Cardinal Egidio. \n\nTotally unrecognized has been his contribution to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes\, completed 500 years ago. Michelangelo's older brother was a Dominican colleague of Nanni in Viterbo\, and Nanni’s follower Cardinal Egidio was close to Michelangelo's patron\, Pope Julius II. One distinctive aspect of the frescoes is their unprecedented attention to the story of Noah. Nanni’s Most Ancient Authors gave a central role to Noah\, claiming that he was the source of the secular authority of the papacy–Nanni dubbed him the first Pontifex Maximus–and the ancestor of all Europe's dynasties. Trumping the Donation of Constantine\, this tale was eagerly received in Rome to reinforce the political and military agenda of Julius II. Dominating one-third of the chapel ceiling\, Michelangelo's Noah frescoes reminded Europe's rulers and their diplomats who entered that the Holy Father was (like Noah) their worldly father as well. Nanni and Michelangelo also countered the rise of the Ottoman dynasty. Nanni had asserted that Christian Rome–not the Muslim usurpers–was through Noah the true heir of the lore and mysticism of the ancient Near East\, pagan and scriptural. Accordingly\, Michelangelo filled the chapel with Orientals: the Israelite ancestors of Jesus\, sibyls\, and prophets. \n\nBenjamin Braude teaches courses on the Middle East and on European-Middle Eastern relations. In addition to those interests\, his research also focuses on religious\, racial\, and ethnic identities in Jewish\, Christian\, and Muslim culture. Currently he is completing Sex\, Slavery\, and Racism: The Secret History of the Sons of Noah\, which examines the construction of attitudes toward color and identity from the ancient Near East and the classical world to the present. More broadly\, he is interested in post-national conceptions of historiography. He has been a visiting professor at the École des hautes etudes en sciences sociales in Paris and a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program\, Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, and Department of History.\n UID:12855-1182369@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12855 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Tappan Hall - 180 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161003T113328 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130315T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130315T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The March of Humanitarianism: 'Clooneyal' Visibilities and the Fragmentation of the Sudan--Human Rights Fellow Lecture DESCRIPTION:Professor Fadlalla will use George Clooney’s activism for Sudan to show how the intersection of human rights and humanitarian politics construct a grand narrative of rescue and salvation that trumps Sudanese activists’ questions of unity\, sovereignty\, and inclusive citizenship. She argues that\, in the case of Africa in general and Sudan in particular\, the grand visibilities constructed through such politics produce ”˜subaltern visibilities’ and relegate African subjects and their political affairs to the affective realm of humanitarian politics that undermine local histories and socio-economic and political struggles.\n\nAmal Hassan Fadlalla (associate professor of anthropology\, women's studies\, and Afroamerican and African studies) has been named a CICS Human Rights Fellow for 2012-2013. She is the author of Embodying Honor: Fertility\, Foreignness\, and Regeneration in Eastern Sudan (Madison: the University of Wisconsin Press\, 2007). Her recent publications appear in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society\, volume 37\, No. 1\, 2011\; Urban Anthropology\, volume 38 (1)\, 2009\; and in the School for Advanced Research edited volume New Landscapes of Inequality: Neoliberalism and the Erosion of Democracy in America 2008. She is also the coeditor (with Howard Stein) of Gendered Insecurities\, Health and Development in Africa (Routledge 2012). Her interview on Sudan’s Secession and the Future Ahead\, was published in the Fall 2011 issue of the II Journal (Volume 1\, No. 1).\n\nProfessor Fadlalla will develop and teach a course in Winter 2013 on “Human Rights and Humanitarianism: The Fight for Justice and Development in Africa.” As part of the CICS Human Rights Fellowship she will also deliver a public lecture on “Fighting with Human Rights: Transnational Activism\, Humanitarianism\, and Development in Africa\,” and will publish an article in the II Journal on Feminizing Africa: Humanitarianism\, Celebrities\, and Development in Africa.

The mural represents the Prophet Muhammad’s ascension into the heavens\, as well as an inhabitant of Paradise offering a flower to a man in the lower right corner. While the composition is based on a 15th-century “Book of Ascension” manuscript\, it nevertheless has been altered in two significant ways: first\, a man painted in a hyper-realistic mode has been inserted into the composition and\, second\, the facial features of the Prophet have been removed. Tracing how the original painting has been pictorially augmented and edited for the public sphere\, this talk offers some new ideas on how images are received and updated in modern Islamic artistic practices. It will do so by paying special attention to the mural’s symbolic position within Tehran’s martyrial mural program\, Iran’s Shi”˜i-Islamic political agenda\, and oppositional responses to the Jyllands-Posten cartoon controversy of 2005-2006.

It is no accident that the Shuihu heroes and their exploits were favorites not only for narrative elaboration on the page\, but also particularly for reenactment on the stage. This presentation will explore the process whereby this intrinsically spectacular material\, in its novelistic form\, became canonized as a masterwork of writing in particular\, worthy of a place alongside more austere and highbrow classics. The critical vocabulary\, and the exegetical strategies\, of the renowned commentator Jin Shengtan (1608-1661)\, provide an ideal window for us to begin examining these issues.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.

Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

Since liquid water is a basic ingredient for life –as we know it\, in order to understand the potential for life to exist in other planets\, we must first understand the behavior of water on them. In this presentation\, the Curiosity Rover\, its instruments\, and its landing site on Mars will be described briefly. Then\, the current evidence for liquid water on Mars will be discussed. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of Curiosity’s initial results. Professor Nilton O. Reno from U-M's Atmospheric\, Oceanic\, and Space Sciences department will be presenting this talk.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176744@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121126T141110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130316T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Get to Know My Orchid DESCRIPTION:Each judge in attendance will have up to 5 minutes to present information about one species or hybrid orchid.

Sung by one singer who plays a flat drum\, which is accompanied by an ensemble of pipa\, sanxian (three-string lute)\, and the sihu (four stringed fiddle)\, “Beijing Drum Songs” musically tells many stories from the Sanguo Yanyi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) and the Shuihuzhuan (All Men Are Brothers)\, portraying martial heroes\, treacherous villains\, and charming ladies. Currently\, leading singers of “Beijing Drum Songs” are all female\, and their performances musically underscore negotiations of gender relations in China.

Mr Liu is one of thousands of Chinese entrepreneurs who have settled across the continent in search of new opportunities. He has just bought his fourth farm and business is booming. In northern Zambia\, Mr Li\, a project manager for a multinational Chinese company\, is upgrading Zambia's longest road. Pressure to complete the road on time intensifies when funds from the Zambian government start running out. Meanwhile Zambia's Trade Minister is en route to China to secure millions of dollars of investment. Through the intimate portrayal of these characters\, the expanding footprint of a rising global power is laid bare - pointing to a radically different future\, not just for Africa\, but also for the world.\n UID:11842-1179084@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:africa,china,chinese film LOCATION:Angell Hall - Auditorium A CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130213T114333 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130316T190000 SUMMARY:Performance:Eshghe Bahar DESCRIPTION:Join the Persian Students Association in ringing in the Persian new year with this year's Nowrooz show.

She also has a portfolio of songs that became major country hits for other artists\, like "\;Love at the Five and Dime"\; (Kathy Mattea) and "\;Outbound Plane"\; (Suzy Bogguss). In the genre of the woman-hitting-the-road anthem\, Nanci achieved a pair of enduring classics with "\;Listen to the Radio"\; and "\;Ford Econoline."\; Nanci'\;s latest release\, "\;Intersection\,"\; is described by Amazon.com as "\;an album about difficulties\, about anger\, about things that slip away and things that explode."\; UID:11689-1178577@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11689 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,nanci griffith,st patricks day 2013,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.
