Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

Her current work focuses on birdpants ̶ tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed ̶ and decidedly non-traditional ̶ confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography. She is a distinguished Professor Emeritus at U-M.

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.

My life’s work has been as a pianist\, performing throughout the world as a soloist\, with big bands\, and occasionally with some of the giants of the blues/jazz piano world. I have spent much of my free time in an array of sports from baseball leagues to extreme winter camping\, and long-distance open water swimming\, among others. Recognizing that uniting these seemingly divergent interests required a unique platform\, I dreamed of putting a real piano on a bicycle and riding it across the USA. As I approached 50\, the dream reemerged\, with a twist: Could that whimsical notion be a tool to help others in a tangible way?\" Thus was born Mr. B's Joybox Express\, a fundraising marvel of a piano-hauling tricycle with three cyclists\, hydraulic disc brakes\, and a rear differential. This year\, Mr. B and his crew are riding the entire length of the Mississippi River\, raising funds for arts and athletics\, and at today's concert you can help put them on the road! You'll hear an array of Michigan jazz and blues giants\, including Mr. B himself\, Madcat\, George Bedard\, Paul Keller\, San Slomovitz\, Ellen Rowe\, Pete Siers\, and more surprise guests. Mr. B's Joybox Express is a 501(c)(3) that raises funds for organizations that provide arts and athletics programming for kids.

After a very well received debut in 2010\, they've recently recorded \"Cavalcade\,\" a sophomore album that both refines and concentrates the band's signature amalgam of rock\, blues\, and country. Described by legendary music critic Greil Marcus as having \"a country feel that puts the people who live in the Nashville charts to shame. Cold Satellite pairs Lisa Olstein's visceral and imagistic language with Jeffrey Foucault's lyrical sensibility and the rawboned authority of a rock band to create a stripped-down ethos that hearkens back to records by Crazy Horse\, the Faces\, Led Zeppelin\, and CCR. Says Marcus: \"A deep ditch electric guitar takes a country song into the blues\, and lets it go back where it came from.\" This project marks an exciting new direction for Ark favorite Jeffrey Foucault\, and a treat for lovers of roots music everywhere.

During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

Her current work focuses on birdpants ̶ tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed ̶ and decidedly non-traditional ̶ confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

In her studio\, the sketches and photos give rise to watercolor paintings. Whitewashed walls clinging to a cliff and expressive views of a town as seen by a view of a single walkway are details in her paintings that help viewers feel that they were there. Cassill's postgraduate studies include the University of Iowa\, the Art Student's League in New York City and the Academe de la Grande in Chaumiere\, Paris.

Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

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.

Vandaveer\, the core duo of Mark Charles Heidinger and Rose Guerin augmented by other musicians\, is currently camped out in Washington\, D.C. Vandaveer offers up melodic Americana that is both haunting and easy\, forlorn and welcoming\, with stories as universal as the songs they inhabit. Death\, murder and ghosts have long been underlying threads coursing through Vandaveer's original music\, but instead of weaving their own shadowy tales into their latest studio effort\, \"Oh\, Willie\, Please...\,\" Vandaveer has tapped into the wellspring of traditional folk's darker side. Inspired by their recent participation in The 78 Project\, the group gathered in a majestic old home on a picturesque horse farm in Lexington\, Kentucky\, in the spring of 2012 and set to work re-imagining a collection of age-old murder ballads and songs of self ruin plucked almost entirely from the public domain. The result is a spacious\, honest album that balances reverence and respect for the source material with a healthy coat of contemporary color. Louisville native (and former Student Songwriter Series winner) John Whitaker is that little voice you hear around midnight whispering in your ear. His quirky heartfelt songs are full of the thoughts that keep us awake at night–and he opens tonight's show.

Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography. She is a distinguished Professor Emeritus at U-M.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

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.

Open to the general public\, this event includes complimentary admission\, parking and light refreshments for all attendees. Due to limited seating\, audience members must register at http://umdetroitcentertechno.eventbrite.com for this event. Your ticket is required for admission on the evening of the event.\n\nAfter the Disco craze of the 1970s\, a new form of electronic dance music (EDM) began to emerge during the mid-to-late 1980s. From the city that brought the world Jazz and Motown\, Detroit was back at the forefront of a musical revolution with a new sound unlike anything the world had previously heard. This new movement became known as “Techno” and quickly gained a global following.\n\nThrough an audio and visual presentation\, Detroit Techno: Music That Influenced the World examines the early history of Techno and its Detroit roots\, influential artists\, technology\, evolution of the genre and much more. \n\nFollowing the presentation\, a panel discussion moderated by Tom Newman (Detroit Techno Foundation) will provide an in-depth perspective from some of the most influential people in electronic music. \n\nPanelists for this event include:\n\n”¢ Juan Atkins\, Techno pioneer\, Producer/DJ\n”¢ Dan Bell\, DJ/Producer\n”¢ Brendan Gillen (BMG\, Ectomorph)\, DJ/Producer\n\nModerator:\n\nTom Newman is the Executive Director of the Detroit Techno Foundation and has managed the main stage of the Movement Festival (Paxahau) in Detroit since 2006. A well-known DJ and Producer in his own right\, Tom has been involved with Detroit Techno for more than 20 years. For one of his most recent projects\, Tom was commissioned by Ford to create an original track using both analog and digital sounds from the 2013 Ford Fusion.\n\nPanelists:\n\nJuan Atkins\, a native Detroiter\, learned how to play bass\, drums\, and guitar at an early age. At age 16\, Atkins first heard electronic music on WGPR during a show hosted by DJ Charles \"The Electrifying Mojo\" Johnson. Atkins\, along with high school friends Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson (famously known as the Belleville Three) became heavily influenced by the fledgling genre.\n\nInspired by the unique sound\, Atkins bought his first analogue synthesizer\, a Korg MS-10\, and began recording with cassette decks and a mixer for overdubs. Along with Derrick May\, the pair started performing DJ sets together under the name Deep Space. Atkins and May took their mixes to The Electrifying Mojo\, who began to play them on his show in 1981. \n\nAtkins and May\, with the addition of Saunderson\, went on to form the group\, Deep Space Soundworks. This collaboration would also eventually lead to the opening of the Music Institute\, a club in downtown Detroit for local DJs to spin and collaborate.\n\nIn 1982\, Atkins rise to fame continued when he collaborated with fellow DJ and producer\, Rick Davis under the group name\, Cybotron. The duo released two songs\, Clear and Techno City\, which are widely credited as two of the most influential tracks in Techno history.\n\nBy the late 1980s\, Atkins traveled to Britain for the first time and was invited to perform at an event called a \"rave.\" Atkins soon became a staple of London's underground music scene and spread Detroit techno to the rest of Europe through record labels in Belgium and Berlin.\n\nDuring his career\, Atkins has performed under several different stage names including Deep Space Soundworks\, Cybotron\, Model 500 and Infiniti. \n\nWith hundreds of appearances across the world spanning more than three decades\, Juan Atkins’ innovative techno sound is still defining the electronic music world today.\nDan Bell is a DJ\, producer and record label owner/distributor whose impact has been felt around the world. Born in Sacramento\, California\, Bell grew up outside of Toronto\, Canada and later moved to Detroit where he collaborated with Richie Hawtin as Cybersonik on the record label\, Plus 8.\n\nIn 1991\, Bell started his own label\, Accelerate\, where he released a string of influential releases under the name\, DBX. In November 1994\, Bell moved behind the scenes and set up 7th City Distribution. At the time\, many smaller U.S.-based techno and house labels required distribution overseas and domestically. 7th City was created to fill this void.\n\nIn 2000\, Bell relocated to Berlin\, Germany\, and released his first mix CD\, The Button-Down Mind of Daniel Bell\, on Tresor Records. In 2003\, he released The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back on Logistic records.\n\nAlthough Bell’s career has taken him across the world\, it’s never long before he finds his way back to Detroit.\n\n\nBrenden Gillen is a founding member of the group Ectomorph and brings a unique perspective to Detroit Techno. The group released their first single in 1995 as an attempt to make Detroit music for Detroiters and not exclusively for export.\n\nThe group’s early singles led to epic status within the Techno world. A strong underground cult following has continued to develop through releases on their own label\, Interdimensional Transmissions. Ectomorph’s live shows are legendary for their ability to fluidly incorporate the improvisational techniques of jazz into their synthesized music.\n\nOutside of the DJ world\, Gillen has also worked as an audio engineering and producer. From mastering the first Ghostly projects to producing Wolf Eyes' Sub Pop album\, his experience in Detroit’s Techno moment is truly unmatched.\n UID:13511-1184777@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/13511 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:detroit history,detroit techno,history of detroit techno,history of techno,music,panel discussion,techno LOCATION:Detroit Center - Ann Arbor Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130503T141245 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130521T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pesha's Journey: From Rabbi's Daughter to Radical Feminist DESCRIPTION:“Pesha's Journey” tells the story\, in pictures and words\, of Pesha–a Jewish woman born into an orthodox Palestine family who struggled to live a life unfettered by the oppressive bonds of her cultural moment.

Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice.

During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

Her current work focuses on birdpants ̶ tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed ̶ and decidedly non-traditional ̶ confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

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.

Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

Her current work focuses on birdpants ̶ tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed ̶ and decidedly non-traditional ̶ confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

In her studio\, the sketches and photos give rise to watercolor paintings. Whitewashed walls clinging to a cliff and expressive views of a town as seen by a view of a single walkway are details in her paintings that help viewers feel that they were there. Cassill's postgraduate studies include the University of Iowa\, the Art Student's League in New York City and the Academe de la Grande in Chaumiere\, Paris.

Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

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.

During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

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.

Born in Boston and raised in North Carolina\, Livingston is the fourth child in a very musical family that includes Alex\, James\, Kate and Hugh. Including top-40 hits “I Will Be in Love with You” and “I’ll Come Running\,” to “I Can Dream of You” and “Boatman\,” both recorded by his brother James\, Livingston’s creative output has continued unabated. His musical knowledge has inspired a varied repertoire\, and he is equally at home with a range of musical genres–folk\, pop\, gospel\, jazz–and from upbeat storytelling to touching ballads. He is a natural performer\, peppering his shows with personal stories\, anecdotes\, and ineffable warmth that connect him to his fans. Liv's relaxed on-stage presence belies the depth of his musical knowledge\, and fans may often be treated to a classic Gershwin or something from the best of Broadway. As a full professor at Berklee College of Music since 1989\, Livingston Taylor shares his experiences and knowledge of professional touring with young artists\, just beginning to hone their skills.

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.

The exhibit is based on the class created by U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design Associate Professor Anne Mondro. Partnering with the U-M Silver Club mild memory loss program club members\, including the newer Elderberry (barely elder) group\, students guided the members in art making. The theme of the semester was “Lessons Learned.” Students and club members shared experiences and expertise to create one-of-a-kind works of art. The final result is an art exhibition for the Club Members\, care partners and students. This traveling exhibition captures the spirit of creativity and embraces a shared experience. \n\nSponsored by U-M Geriatrics Center\, Silver Club Mild Memory Loss Programs\; U-M Penny W.

The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

The photos\, taken between 1911 and 1940\, trace her early life to her education in Germany and\, eventually\, her marriage and move to New York with husband Benno\, the photographer who took many of these pictures. These images and Pesha’s story were discovered after Benno’s death by his son\, Eric Bermann\, who co-curated this exhibit.

Cabinet formed in 2006\, bringing together players from various musical and personal backgrounds. Some of the members are barely old enough to drink legally\, but their thirst for older music is unquenchable. Whether its rustic \"American Beauty\"-era Grateful Dead or old-timey bluegrass\, Cabinet has digested it all. But that's not to say that Cabinet re-creates older styles. This music might have roots in the past\, but it's current and vibrant\, and this Pennsylvania band has outgrown regional status. When it comes to the music of Cabinet\, the essential bywords are soul\, simplicity\, and serious musicianship. And Gangstagrass goes back to the future with Rappalachia\, or\, you might say\, Jay-Z meets Ralph Stanley. Blending bluegrass and hip-hop seems like an unlikely recipe for success\, but don’t tell that to Rench\, the mastermind behind the highly successful rap ’n’ grass project Gangstagrass. When he was going to grade school\, recess was a time of breakdancing on cardboard to RUN-DMC. But at home\, the records on the stereo were Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. That musical mash-up made a lasting impression and sent Rench on a cross-country journey to play country-flavored hip-hop in dive bars. \"There are a lot more people out there with Jay-Z and Johnny Cahs on their iPod playlists than you might think\,\" says Rench. You might have heard Gangstagrass's \"Long Hard Times to Come\" as the theme of the FX series \"Justified\"–now hear them in person!
