With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

With over 50 members\, they exhibit a diverse approach to painting including watercolor\, oil\, acrylic and mixed mediums. Their subject matter and technique is also quite vast. Abstraction\, realism and even photorealism is all produced by this dynamic organization. As a group they are committed to the highest standard of creative expression\, to furthering the interests and development of individual members through collective activities\, and to maintaining a tradition of promoting art education.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

They were in competition with their fellow traders from Portugal\, Netherlands\, France\, Denmark\, and Sweden\, who tried their own fortunes in India. They all got involved in the local political intrigue\, but the British emerged as the preeminent power. 1757 saw the ascendancy of the British East India Company as the ruler of Bengal. Over the next one hundred years\, the Company expanded its power over most of the Indian subcontinent by military conquest. A massive popular rebellion against the Company in 1857 was brutally crushed. The next year\, the British Parliament dissolved the Company and took over the ruling of India\, as a result of the uprising. \n The 20th century saw two world wars and massive social\, economic\, and technological changes globally along with the rise of the independence movement in India. Britain ceded power in 1947 to two political entities\, India and Pakistan. Instructor Lakshminarayanan will hold work groups on Fridays from March 27 through May 15 (no class on April 10).

In theory\, Bayesian methods for discovering pairwise interactions enjoy many benefits such as coherent uncertainty quantification\, the ability to incorporate background knowledge\, and desirable shrinkage properties. In practice\, however\, Bayesian methods are often computationally intractable for even moderate-dimensional problems. Our key insight is that many hierarchical models of practical interest admit a particular Gaussian process (GP) representation\; the GP allows us to capture the posterior with a vector of O(p) kernel hyper-parameters rather than O(p^2) interactions and main effects. With the implicit representation\, we can run Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) over model hyper-parameters in time and memory linear in p per iteration. We focus on sparsity-inducing models and show on datasets with a variety of covariate behaviors that our method: (1) reduces runtime by orders of magnitude over naive applications of MCMC\, (2) provides lower Type I and Type II error relative to state-of-the-art LASSO-based approaches\, and (3) offers improved computational scaling in high dimensions relative to existing Bayesian and LASSO-based approaches.\n*Livestream Info*\nThis Seminar will be livestreamed using Zoom.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207422@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

CTE has received increased attention due to a growing number of deceased former NFL players being diagnosed with the disease postmortem. CTE can only be diagnosed by neuropathological examination.

There are two main hypotheses on how sleep promotes memory consolidation: the Sleep Homeostasis Hypothesis (SHY) and Active System Consolidation (ASC). SHY posits that during waking experience\, the brain forms new memories – creating and strengthening synapses. Unregulated\, this process could reach a point of saturation\, which would be metabolically expensive and occlude new memory formation. SHY hypothesizes that during sleep\, synapses are uniformly scaled\, eliminating weak connections while stronger synapses (important memories) persist. In contrast\, ASC postulates that sleep synchronizes neural firing\, selectively activating (and strengthening) synaptic connections for specific memories – promoting consolidation. Thus\, according to the two hypotheses\, different synaptic changes are expected across sleep. \n\nUnresolved discrepancies between ACS and SHY may be due to technical limitations. Until recently\, techniques have been unavailable to characterize and manipulate the neurons involved in a specific memory. Experimental outcomes have historically relied on data averaged across the neurons in a given brain structure. This lack of resolution has been a major barrier to understanding how sleep promotes memory consolidation. To move beyond these limitations\, this thesis employs both in vivo recording of neurons (allowing tracking of memory encoding neurons across behavioral states) and recently developed engram\, or memory trace\, tools (allowing us to manipulate the activity of neurons encoding a specific memory). These experimental strategies aim to clarify whether SHY or ASC (or both) occur in primary visual cortex (V1) during post-learning sleep\, and whether this consolidation is dependent on sleep-specific memory reactivation.\n\nUsing neuronal firing rates as a measure of plasticity\, we examined the activity of V1 neurons across sleep\, sleep deprivation\, and post-learning sleep. The learning paradigm used is orientation-specific response potentiation (OSRP) which manifests as selective increases in V1 neuronal responses to a specific orientated grating. All sleep conditions showed an upregulation in the activity of low firing rate neurons and a downregulation of the activity of high firing rate neurons. These low firing rate neurons convey more visual information and selectively express OSRP. This suggests that sleep selectively upregulates the activity of neurons involved in sensory experience while simultaneously downregulating the activity those that are not. \n\nTo evaluate the necessity of memory reactivation during sleep for consolidation\, we used engram technology to selectively manipulate neurons activated by a specific visual stimulus. We combined visually-cued conditioning to oriented gratings with engram labelling to create a tractable system for manipulating a specific memory during sleep. We show that the TRAP (targeted recombination in active populations) engram mouse line can be used to drive transgene expression in a specific oriented grating ensemble in primary visual cortex. We then inhibit this ensemble during post-conditioning sleep causing impaired consolidation. This was done in a content specific manner without altering sleep architecture or oscillations - indicating that reactivation specifically is necessary for sleep dependent memory consolidation.\n\nThis work unites two long standing hypotheses regarding sleep function for brain circuitry - SHY and ASC. The data support a comprehensive model in which sleep selectively reactivates neurons encoding relevant information. This upregulates their activity\, while simultaneously decreasing activity in neurons whose information content is not salient. Future work will be needed to understand the molecular\, cellular\, and network mechanisms which drive these changes in specific cell populations.

Given that the figure of the refugee was alien to the memory of the colonial state\, it was hardly surprising that there were no pre-existing genres of recognizing her. With the exception of Calcutta\, Delhi received a disproportionate number of refugees compared to other cities and urban authorities had to grapple with the absence of an infrastructure of enumerating and identifying them. In this city\, various actors such as the Ministry of Relief and Rehabilitation\, housing agencies\, the Delhi administration and refugee associations acted in concert to fortify the process of rehabilitation from the chaos of displaced identity documents. While an official identity document\, termed the refugee registration certificate did emerge\, it was unrealistic for authorities to undertake rehabilitation on the strength of the scarce possession of this document. Simultaneously\, urban rehabilitation authorities refused to exempt (Dalit\, upper caste Hindu and Sikh) refugee ‘squatters’ from encumbrances of submitting evidence of their caste\, nationality\, displacement\, entry\, occupation and presence in the planned city. Using several genres of primary historical sources\, this paper inquires into how the Indian state went about knowing the refugee dwelling in urban spaces in ways that straddle the philosophical and the feasible\, the material and the intangible. In particular\, it asks the question\, what role did refugee knowledge play in the fashioning of identity documents between 1947 and 1960? This paper must also be read in another register\, namely\, the popular making and not just the popular life of identity documents in marginal spaces of dwelling at an early hour of state formation.\n\nTarangini Sriraman is author of In Pursuit of Proof: A History of Identification Documents in India published by OUP India. The book weaves together a hitherto unattempted history of making and verifying identification documents in the urban margins of India. She teaches Politics and History at the School of Liberal Studies in Azim Premji University\, Bangalore. She has previously been a South Asia Program Fellow\, Cornell University\, Postdoctoral Fellow at Centre de Sciences Humaines\, New Delhi and Visiting Associate Fellow\, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies\, Delhi.

Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

At this year’s 48th Annual Dance for Mother Earth Powwow\, Isabel Engel\, the Andrew W. Mellon Academic Teaching Fellow at the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, will share images from and information about UMMA’s new Power Family Program for Inuit Art.  This collection of sculptures and prints from Kinngait (Cape Dorset)\, in the Nunavut region of Canada\, will foster rich inquiry and discussion.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207423@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Details TBA.\n\nWhy I Fight\, a theatrical adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review novelette by James Munro Leaf\, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and being caught in the psychiatric system. It probes the presumption of labels and the complex dynamics of power\, dehumanization\, and abuse in clinical settings. Creative director Gillian Eaton and actor Malcolm Tulip\, faculty of the U-M School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance\, engage several of their students in this production at the Residential College’s Keene Theater (dates TBA).\n\nBased on collaboration with the staff at the U-M Heinz C.

Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n \nan operetta by Johann Strauss II\nDirected by Grant Preisser\, University Opera Theatre\nConducted by Kirk Severtson\, University Philharmonia Orchestra\n\nScheming and devious plans run amuck to culminate in a hilarious comeuppance in this re-imagined\, gender-bent take on Strauss's light-hearted comedy filled with lush Viennese waltzes. Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities.

If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel\, MAP\, or other another class)\, the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session. \n\nThe cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595\, however\, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:\n\nSunday\, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\nSunday\, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\nSunday\, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\n\nThe certification exam\, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26\, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business\, R-0320.

For many\, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C\, B\, and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.\n\nFor more information\,\nVisit tauber.umich.edu or call 734-647-1333\nConnect via email to Diana Crossley dianak@umich.edu UID:73563-18261072@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73563 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Business,Chemistry,Economics,Education,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Entrepreneurship,Environment,Film,Graduate,Graduate School,immigration,Industrial and Operations Engineering,Information and Technology,Integrative Systems,Interdisciplinary,International,Japanese Studies,Materials Science,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Multidisciplinary Design,Natural Sciences,Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Pre-Law,Psychology,Public Health,Public Policy,Study Abroad LOCATION:Ross School of Business CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191216T121633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200329T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200329T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reflections: An Ordinary Day DESCRIPTION:UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n \nan operetta by Johann Strauss II\nDirected by Grant Preisser\, University Opera Theatre\nConducted by Kirk Severtson\, University Philharmonia Orchestra\n\nScheming and devious plans run amuck to culminate in a hilarious comeuppance in this re-imagined\, gender-bent take on Strauss's light-hearted comedy filled with lush Viennese waltzes. Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.

Public health doctor and activist Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is returning to his alma mater for a special event with the LSA Honors Program\, where Dr. El-Sayed will serve as the Fall 2020 DeRoy Professor. El-Sayed who began his undergraduate career with the LSA Honors Program\, was the 2008 U-M Commencement student speaker and a 2009 Rhodes Scholar\, among other notable achievements.\n\nHis forthcoming book\, \"Healing Politics: A Doctor’s Journey into Heart of our Political Epidemic\,\" diagnoses our country’s “epidemic of insecurity” and the empathy policy we’ll need to treat it. \n\n“Healing Politics is a token of appreciation for this state and its people\, who taught me so much over the past several years. I hope it captures the challenges we face—and the hope I’ve seen in the least likely places\,” said El-Sayed. “These are the insights I hope to bring to the classroom as the DeRoy Professor at the LSA Honors Program next fall. I’m excited to be back on campus\, where\, in many ways\, the intellectual roots of this book took shape when I was a student.”\n\nThe LSA Honors DeRoy Visiting Professorship was endowed by the Helen L. DeRoy Foundation in 1981 to make it possible for students to study with distinguished persons in business\, government\, labor\, law\, and various scholarly disciplines. Former DeRoy Professors include poet and critic Carmen Bugan and French economist Jacques Mistral. \n\nThis event is hosted in partnership with U-M LSA Honors Program\; Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships\; The Phi Beta Kappa Society\, Alpha of Michigan Chapter\; School for Environment and Sustainability\; Ford School of Public Policy\; School of Public Health\; School of Social Work.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

These tools are also used to program more “serious” applications that require interactive 3D graphics\, from mobile apps\, virtual and augmented reality\, computer vision and artificial intelligence\, and real-time CGI film production. \n\nUnity3D is a powerful and popular game engine for both hobbyist and professional projects\, able to compile a ‘game’ to almost any computer platform\, and free to download for non-commercial use. This workshop will show how you can use it to render data from research projects in a 3D interactive representation for user analysis and demonstration.\n\nIn this workshop\, we introduce the Unity3D workspace\, and prepare a demo that allows the user to load an example dataset and view it as a simple set of 3D representations. A basic familiarity with any computer programming language (C# will be used during the session) is recommended to get the most out of the workshop. To take part\, users will be responsible to bring their own laptop with Unity3D (available for Windows\, Macintosh and Linux) pre-installed. Additional project files will be provided to registered users ahead of the workshop date.

STS Speaker. All in the Family: U.S. Demography and the Origins of Neoliberalism DESCRIPTION:Neoliberalism is generally understood as an intellectual and political project to retool regulation to protect capital. Consequently\, scholars of neoliberalism have traced its progenitors and principles to the disciplines of economics and law. But new scholarship suggests compellingly that neoliberalism is not only a philosophy of government and markets but also a philosophy of care—one that upholds the private family (in lieu of the state) as the ultimate provider and underwriter of that care. Seen in this light\, an alternative history of proto-neoliberal ideas reveals itself among a corpus of social scientists whose work has gone unremarked in the historiography of those ideas: demographers. \n\nThis talk reframes postwar U.S. demography as a crucible in which the ideal of “family responsibility” for the costs of human welfare was first forged\, and global “family planning” as the technoscientific project through which that principle was eventually—and powerfully—instantiated. \n\nBio: Savina Balasubramanian is assistant professor of Sociology and Affiliate Faculty in Women’s Studies and Gender Studies at Loyola University Chicago. She is a historical sociologist of gender and science in transnational perspective. Her current book manuscript\, Intimate Investments: The Science and Politics of Family Planning in Cold War India\, tells the story of how American demographers pursued family planning in non-aligned India as an effort to serve U.S. goals to stifle the formation of a robust welfare state in the country—and how the Indian state implemented family planning in ways that conformed to and departed from demographers’ visions.

Advances in non-linear optics over the past decade allow single-investigator\, table top lasers to access radiation from 550 cm-1 in the infrared to the vacuum ultraviolet. When spectra are acquired using predissociation of weakly bound rare gas “tags\,” the resulting patterns are directly equivalent to absorption spectra of target ions at temperatures below 10 K\, and quenched close to their global minimum energy geometries. Taken together\, what emerges is a new and powerful structural capability that augments the traditional tools available in high resolution mass spectrometry. Currently\, these methods are being exploited to monitor chemical and physical processes in assemblies with well-defined temperatures and compositions. Recent applications\, ranging from the mechanisms of small molecule activation by homogeneous catalysts to the microscopic mechanics underlying the ultrafast spectral diffusion in water\, emphasize the generality and utility of the methods in contemporary chemistry. \n \n \n \n \n \nMark Johnson (Yale University) UID:72155-17948627@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72155 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191217T141400 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200330T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200330T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Get real time\, personalized support by with the Resume Lab.

Evoking Native-American chant\, work-songs\, spirituals\, and Czech folk music\, it is one of the most tuneful and ear-catching symphonies in the repertoire. Aaron Copland's “Buckaroo Holiday\" from the ballet Rodeo opens the program with upbeat rhythms and old cowboy songs. Samuel Barber's lesser-known First Essay follows\, combining pensive reflections with urban agitation.\n\nThe Campus Philharmonia Orchestra presents a colorful program inspired in dances. The journey starts with the Bohemian rhythms of Smetana’s Three Dances from The Bartered Bride: The “Polka”\, the “Furiant” and the “Dance of the Comedians.” The next piece on the program is Gabriel Faure’s elegant and processional\, Pavane. The “Waltz of the Flowers” from the popular and celebrated Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky continues the program\, which ends with the Russian folk flavor of the “Polovtsian Dances” from Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

Join us Tuesday\, March 31 at 6:30am as we host Community Conversations. Our focus for our time together will be to learn strategies from each other about adjusting to our new “norms” and we will share resources available to support our community.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/395565483\nMeeting ID: 395 565 483\nPassword: OHEI\nOne tap mobile\n+16468769923\,\,395565483# US (New York)\n+13126266799\,\,395565483# US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 395 565 483 UID:74020-18485464@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/74020 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity,Michigan Medicine Diversity LOCATION:Medical Science Research Building 1 - Virtual Community Conversation CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200805T111810 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200331T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200331T170000 SUMMARY:Other:----All In-Person Events Canceled Until Further Notice--- DESCRIPTION:Our events will be virtual through the fall.

Clements\, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects\, preserves\, and makes available primary sources about the Americas\, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books\, manuscripts\, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections. Selections include handsome original artwork\, compelling manuscripts\, and printed resources with geographical connections spanning from the Caribbean to the Great Lakes. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Rogel Cancer Center Entrance Alcove\, Level 2.\n1500 E.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

With over 50 members\, they exhibit a diverse approach to painting including watercolor\, oil\, acrylic and mixed mediums. Their subject matter and technique is also quite vast. Abstraction\, realism and even photorealism is all produced by this dynamic organization. As a group they are committed to the highest standard of creative expression\, to furthering the interests and development of individual members through collective activities\, and to maintaining a tradition of promoting art education.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs\, classes\, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society\, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.\n \nIn her investigation of America’s courts\, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law\, drama\, and anthropology\, among others. \n \nDue to the nature of the project\, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

What’s different about recent evocations of knightly signage is their visibility on the Internet where they have become weaponized to attract members and demean enemies. \n\nThe goal of the lecture is first to discuss symbols in the medieval period. The professor will then discuss how such symbols have resurfaced in the Nazi era and in the contemporary environment to serve the political and propaganda goals of various movements.\n\nDr. Martin B. Shichtman is Director of the Center for Jewish Studies and Professor of English Language and Literature at Eastern Michigan University. He has been a fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and at Brandeis University’s Schusterman Institute for Israel Studies. Dr. Shichtman has co-authored two books\, co-edited two collections\, and published more than forty scholarly articles. He has presented more than 100 papers at international\, national\, and regional conferences. He is the recipient of EMU’s Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching and the Eastern Michigan University Alumni Association Award for Teaching Excellence.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207425@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

At the center of this trend lies a claim that China’s future ought to be rooted in China’s own cumulative civilization\, especially in the Confucian learning traditions. This exceptionalist turn in intellectual culture has provided a new legitimizing ideology that the Chinese Communist Party has quickly adopted to reinvent itself as the inheritor of China’s cultural traditions. Making sense of this contemporary turn requires us to understand the deeper roots of modern Chinese national thought. Different from the dominant view that modern Chinese nationalism is a product of Western-style modernization\, this talk explores how the search for a Chinese cultural identity became central to the debates over political system and moral values in China in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. If “cultural identity” was an answer\, what was the question? Were there alternatives?\n \n Wen Yu is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in History from Harvard University in 2018. Her research focuses on China’s social and political thought\, ideological movements\, and intellectual culture from the seventeenth century to the present. Her dissertation\, \"The Search for a Chinese Way in the Modern World: From the Rise of Evidential Learning to the Birth of Chinese Cultural Identity\,” explores the roots and development of modern Chinese exceptionalism by tracing how the search for a Chinese cultural identity has become central to the intellectual debates over shared values in modern China. Her dissertation was awarded the 2017 Harold K. Gross Dissertation Prize.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Recent studies\, however\, have been plagued by the frequent rediscovery of old molecules. The underlying reason is that the vast majority of natural product biosynthetic genes in a given bacterium are not significantly expressed\, when cultured under standard laboratory conditions. These so-called ‘silent’ or ‘cryptic’ gene clusters represent a large reservoir of bioactive molecules and methods that access them would have a profound impact on natural products research and thereby on drug discovery. In this talk\, I will present new strategies that my group has developed for activating silent biosynthetic gene clusters. Application of these approaches to diverse bacteria has unveiled not only the products of silent gene clusters\, but also small molecule elicitors\, which in most cases are growth-inhibitory or antibiotic in nature. These insights have led to the idea that old antibiotics may be used to find new ones. In addition\, my group has been engaged in elucidating new transformations carried out by metalloenzymes during natural product biosynthesis. Recent reactions that we have discovered\, along with proposed mechanisms\, will be presented as well. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMohammad Seyedsayamdost (Princeton University) UID:67853-16960494@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67853 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200415T123020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200331T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200331T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab: Internship searching among COVID19 Uncertainty DESCRIPTION:*RSVP for this program.

Community members will still be able to tune in at 6:30pm here: https://zoom.us/j/998944566\n\n--\n\nThe US charitable food system is a network of food banks\, food pantries\, and meal programs that distributes billions of pounds of food to households experiencing food insecurity. Historically\, the primary metric of success within this system was the number of pounds of food distributed\, with limited attention to nutritional quality. However\, in recognition of the high rates of diet-related illnesses among the people receiving this food\, there is a growing movement to measure nutritional quality and promote healthier options. This presentation will describe efforts at the national\, state\, local\, and community levels to measure and encourage the distribution of healthier foods\, as well as research strategies to evaluate the impact of these changes. Finally\, lessons learned and friendly advice for new researchers interested in this topic will be shared.\n\n--\n\nFood Literacy for All is a community-academic partnership course started in 2017. Structured as an evening lecture series\, Food Literacy for All features different guest speakers each week to address challenges and opportunities of diverse food systems.

But on a deeper level it is a story about the ability to rise\, to rebuild and reinvent oneself after a tragedy. Holding the past and present in focus together\, the film takes us to the tiny village nestled in the mountains amidst the humid Salvadoran jungle\, while villagers\, survivors of the war's massacres\, recount their journey home at war's end.

In this frank and necessarily lucid talk\, Zuboff defines the terms of surveillance capitalism as a new economic system\, pioneered at Google and later Facebook\, in much the same way that mass-production and managerial capitalism were pioneered at Ford and General Motors a century before. Zuboff speaks urgently to our need to protect ourselves in this unprecedented age\, and not try to resist or strike in the ways we did a century ago. Google\, Amazon and now fallen behemoths like Cambridge-Analytica aren’t going anywhere\, but as Zuboff expansively demonstrates\, we can create countermeasures to stave off the monopolistic workings of these companies. We have the power to demand more from these seemingly all-powerful corporations. If they want what we provide (data)\, they in turn will have to change their usage tactics. The citizen desire and the leverage is here\, Zuboff argues—and it’s in the companies’ best interests to change. Rather than facing the subject with worry or paranoia\, Zuboff argues for us to pay attention\, resist habituation\, and come up with novel\, innovative responses to the issue of surveillance capitalism\, as novel a system as we are likely to know.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Brodsky on the Horizon DESCRIPTION:This exhibit has been postponed due to COVID-19. We are working to reschedule Gluklya's campus visit\, but in the meantime\, enjoy this interview which was recently conducted by our alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79)\, curator and art advisor of Galerie Blue Square: https://youtu.be/QHO-gCuWQjY. \n\nIn \"Brodsky on the Horizon\" Gluklya will show the video from her latest project\, \"Carnival of Oppressed Feelings\,\" which was last exhibited in 2019 at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven\, the Netherlands. Several examples of her \"Utopian Clothes\,\" previously used in performances and workshops\, works on paper and other selected videos will be displayed as well. These works will visualize the artist's personal connection to Joseph Brodsky’s poems and writings. The exhibit will also depict Joseph Brodsky's time at the University of Michigan\, through reproduced photographs from the Ardis Records in Special Collections of the Hatcher Library.\n \nGluklya (Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya) is a visual and performance artist. Her manifesto states: “The place of the artist is on the side of the weak.” She uses clothing\, installations\, video\, participatory projects\, text\, and research to develop a concept of fragility. For Gluklya\, fragility is interpreted not as “delicate beauty” but as “invisible strength.” Her work explores topics of social exclusion\, untapped intuitive knowledge\, mind-body connections\, violation of human rights\, and stereotypes. Considered a pioneer of Russian performance art\, Gluklya is a co-founder of the Factory of Found Clothes (FFC) and the group Chto Delat (What is to be done?).

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Studying this system – much of it driven by the Sun’s constant outpouring of solar wind – not only helps us understand fundamental infor-mation about how the universe works\, but also helps protect our technology and astronauts in space. NASA seeks knowledge of near-Earth space\, because\, when extreme\, space weather can interfere with our com-munications\, satellites and power grids. The study of the Sun and space can also teach us more about how stars contribute to the habitability of planets through-out the universe. \n Mapping out this interconnected system requires a holistic study of the Sun’s influence on space\, Earth and other planets. NASA has a fleet of spacecraft stra-tegically placed throughout our heliosphere – from Parker Solar Probe at the Sun observing the very start of the solar wind\, to satellites around Earth\, to the far-thest human-made object\, Voyager\, which is sending back observations on interstellar space. Each mission is positioned at a critical\, well-thought out vantage point to observe and understand the flow of energy and particles throughout the solar system\, and all helping us untagle the effects of the star we live with.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Nicola Fox is the Heliophysics Division Director in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington\, DC. Until August 2018\, Dr. Fox worked at the Applied Physics Lab at the Johns Hopkins University where she was the Chief Scientist for Heliophysics and the project scientist for NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. Dr. Fox served as the deputy project scientist for the Van Allen Probes\, and the operations scientist for the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program. Fox received her BS in Physics and PhD in Space and Atmospheric Physics from the Imperial College of Science\, Technology and Medicine in London. She received an MS in Telematics and Satellite Communications from the University of Surrey.

Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\nThe workshop will run from February 5 to April 15\, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4. \nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:71150-17783456@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71150 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Speech Language Pathology,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

For much of this period\, Ottoman state authorities viewed Armenian migrants\, particularly those who returned to the empire after sojourns abroad\, as a political threat to the empire’s security. Istanbul worked vigorously to prevent Armenians both from migrating to and returning from North America. In response\, dense smuggling networks emerged to assist migrants in bypassing this migration ban. The dynamics that shaped the evolution of these networks resemble those that drive the phenomenon of migrant smuggling in the present day. Furthermore\, migrants who returned home found themselves stuck in an uneasy legal limbo as both Ottoman and United States governments disavowed them as citizens\, leaving them vulnerable to deportation from their own ancestral lands. As this talk contends\, the Armenian migratory experience in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries both parallels and sheds light on themes such as smuggling\, deportation\, and the criminalization of migration\, that are central to the issue of global migration in the 21st century.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

When possible\, our weekly presentations will be available online: video presentations will be announced via email and on the Stamps website (https://stamps.umich.edu/stamps).\n\nNew York-based artist Abigail DeVille creates immersive works and installations designed to bring attention to forgotten stories\, such as with the sculpture she built on the site of a former African American burial ground in Harlem. With family roots reaching back at least two generations\, DeVille’s work about New York City is both personal and political. Acting as an archaeologist\, DeVille collects and reallocates found materials to give physical presence to unspoken stories and forgotten pasts. Her work often focuses around themes of displacement\, migration\, marginalization\, and cultural invisibility.

With family roots spanning back at least two generations\, DeVille’s work about New York City is both personal and political. Acting as an archaeologist\, DeVille collects and reallocates found materials to give physical presence to unspoken stories and forgotten pasts. Her work often focuses around themes of displacement\, migration\, marginalization\, and cultural invisibility. As an extension of her installation practice\, DeVille also designs sets for theatrical productions\, including the Stratford Festival and Harlem Stage. Her work is part of some of the most prestigious collections in the world and has been exhibited internationally\, including the Institute of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles)\; The Studio Museum in Harlem (New York)\; the Pinchuk Art Centre (Kiev)\; New Museum (New York)\; and the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam).  An honors fellow at The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard\, a Creative Capital grantee\, and an OBIE Award for Design recipient\, DeVille is currently in residence at the American Academy in Rome. \n \nCo-presented with the Institute for Humanities\, presenting No Space Hidden (Under Heaven)\, an exhibition of work by Abigail DeVille\, on view at the IH Gallery April 1-May 7\, 2020.

It will be rescheduled at a later date. ***\n\nThe French\, English\, and American literatures of the Great Lakes begin in the sixteenth century. The American continues into the present. Native literatures\, in several languages from three major language families\, are far older and continue as well. These are true maritime literatures that are too frequently described as Midwestern\, but have nothing to do with farming and little to do with cities except as ports.\n\nLakes literatures are international\, multi-cultural\, and multi-lingual because the lakes have always been a commercial highway\, used for resource extraction and commodity handling by several Native nations and three countries. They were the site of the first métis culture in North America. Their ease of access allowed earlier women writers to experience the frontier without the difficulties and dangers inherent in a trip to the far west\, while 19th and 20th century commercial traffic provided work for women in lighthouses and on ships. Their shared border with Canada allowed them to be a vital link in the Underground Railroad\, and their maritime traditions of craft skill provided jobs for people of color when remunerative work on shore was closed to them. Lakes literature is a record of lives on the lakes over centuries\, tracing war\, industrialization\, environmental degradation\, and recovery.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Clements Library's Randolph G. Adams Lecture Series and is co-sponsored by the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, Great Lakes Theme Semester. Victoria Brehm\, PhD\, is an author and researcher of Great Lakes literary and cultural history. She recently was awarded the Patrick Labadie Award for Historic Preservation from the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History in recognition of her many years of making neglected and unknown texts about the lakes available to readers.

While the government reports that a criminal gang has been rounded up\, in reality a group of innocent Mexicans has fallen victim to the vagaries of a corrupt system. After her detention\, she is handed over to a private prison controlled by the Organized Crime\, where she is forced to pay a monthly fee to remain alive.Adela works as a clown in a traveling circus. Ten years ago\, her life was irreversibly transformed\; every night during the show\, she evokes her missing daughter\, Monica.Tempest has screened at more than 60 film festivals worldwide\, collecting awards in Berlin\, Lima\, Havana\, Madrid\, Cork\, and many others. Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Brodsky on the Horizon DESCRIPTION:This exhibit has been postponed due to COVID-19. We are working to reschedule Gluklya's campus visit\, but in the meantime\, enjoy this interview which was recently conducted by our alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79)\, curator and art advisor of Galerie Blue Square: https://youtu.be/QHO-gCuWQjY. \n\nIn \"Brodsky on the Horizon\" Gluklya will show the video from her latest project\, \"Carnival of Oppressed Feelings\,\" which was last exhibited in 2019 at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven\, the Netherlands. Several examples of her \"Utopian Clothes\,\" previously used in performances and workshops\, works on paper and other selected videos will be displayed as well. These works will visualize the artist's personal connection to Joseph Brodsky’s poems and writings. The exhibit will also depict Joseph Brodsky's time at the University of Michigan\, through reproduced photographs from the Ardis Records in Special Collections of the Hatcher Library.\n \nGluklya (Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya) is a visual and performance artist. Her manifesto states: “The place of the artist is on the side of the weak.” She uses clothing\, installations\, video\, participatory projects\, text\, and research to develop a concept of fragility. For Gluklya\, fragility is interpreted not as “delicate beauty” but as “invisible strength.” Her work explores topics of social exclusion\, untapped intuitive knowledge\, mind-body connections\, violation of human rights\, and stereotypes. Considered a pioneer of Russian performance art\, Gluklya is a co-founder of the Factory of Found Clothes (FFC) and the group Chto Delat (What is to be done?). In 2012\, FFC became the Utopian Unemployment Union\, a project that unites art\, social science\, and progressive pedagogy to give people from all social backgrounds an opportunity to make art together. Today\, the artist participates in many international shows including the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale (2015) and Positions #4 at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands (2018-19). She has been awarded numerous art prizes and grants\, including a fellowship from the Joseph Brodsky Fellowship Memorial Fund in 2014 and support from the Mondriaan Fund for recent projects.\n \nPresented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Faculty leaders are often much more compelling to their colleagues given their resonance for understanding the lives of other faculty. When changes such as diversity\, evidence based teaching practices\, and interdisciplinarity are proposed they are much more likely to be scaled if faculty leaders take up the mantle of change. In this session\, we explore the role of faculty leaders in shared leadership processes and ways to encourage and support faculty change agents. Drawing on studies of campuses that have promoted key changes\, the lessons learned for other campuses will be distilled.

Understanding the forces shaping the evolution of mating patterns and the diversity of traits that influence mating success in the natural world is a fundamental problem in evolutionary biology. Plants\, in particular\, show an impressive amount of diversity in floral form and the degree to which they outcross or self-pollinate. In this seminar\, I will share a series of empirical and modeling studies investigating how the pollination environment drives the evolution of floral traits that promote either outcrossing or selfing.

The Place of the Artist is on the Side of the Weak: A Manifesto for the 21st Century DESCRIPTION:We unfortunately had to postpone the visit of Gluklya\, the CREES 60th Anniversary/Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series speaker\, due to COVID-19. We are working to reschedule her campus visit\, but in the meantime\, enjoy this interview which was recently conducted by our alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79)\, curator and art advisor of Galerie Blue Square: https://youtu.be/QHO-gCuWQjY.\n\nGluklya (Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya) is a visual and performance artist. Her manifesto states: “The place of the artist is on the side of the weak.” She uses clothing\, installations\, video\, participatory projects\, text\, and research to develop a concept of fragility. For Gluklya\, fragility is interpreted not as “delicate beauty” but as “invisible strength.” Her work explores topics of social exclusion\, untapped intuitive knowledge\, mind-body connections\, violation of human rights\, and stereotypes. Considered a pioneer of Russian performance art\, Gluklya is a co-founder of the Factory of Found Clothes (FFC) and the group Chto Delat (What is to be done?). In 2012\, FFC became the Utopian Unemployment Union\, a project that unites art\, social science\, and progressive pedagogy to give people from all social backgrounds an opportunity to make art together. Today\, the artist participates in many international shows including the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale (2015) and Positions #4 at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands (2018-19). She has been awarded numerous art prizes and grants\, including a fellowship from the Joseph Brodsky Fellowship Memorial Fund in 2014 and support from the Mondriaan Fund for recent projects.\n \nPresented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.
