It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

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

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one'\;s personal politics\, an artwork'\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process. A final list of artworks were chosen for the exhibition by a Selection Committee made up of U-M faculty\, staff\, and students. \n\nThe 2023 RRR Selection Committee members are: \nPedram Baldari\, Jim Cogswell\, Laura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Adrienne Frank\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Quinn Hunter\, Ikalanni Jahi\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, Kathi Reister\, Chloe Schans\, and Grace Sirman. \nThe 2023 RRR Curatorial Committee members are: \nLaura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Kathi Reister. \nThe 2023 RRR Organizing Committee members are: Chris Audain\, Adrienne Frank\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Joe Rohrer.

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

In Chalmers' solo\, music and imagery are the driving forces of the piece\, alongside the use of storytelling and vulnerability experienced throughout her movement. \n\nKatherine Kiessling’s group work considers the various possibilities of who we become as individuals\, focusing on how we seek escapes within the mundane. Meanwhile\, Kiessling’s solo focuses primarily on the catch and release of moving between the floor and standing\, exploring all possibilities of entrances and exits.\n\nLauren Roebuck’s\, *She Cooks as Good as She Looks*\, is loosely based on the film *The Stepford Wives*. It is a character-driven dance that critiques the traditional roles of a relationship between a man and a woman in the 21st century. Roebuck’s solo\, *Goldenheart*\, is an ode to her childhood\, evoking feelings of nostalgia\, innocence\, and happiness.\n\nMia Rubenstein’s\, *I Love You Like the Sun*\, centers around the complexity of human nature\, revealing how humans can be both beautiful and ugly all at once. Rubenstein’s solo\, *Vigilance*\, deals with themes of self-doubt and the unknown that evidently leave ideas of certainty within the chaos. \n\nPerformances of this concert will be Thursday\, November 16\, through Saturday\, November 18\, 2023. Each show will begin at 8:00 p.m. (Livestreaming on November 17.) Tickets are free and are available at the door an hour prior to the performance.

When she was up in Somerville\, Massachusetts\, in the early nineties\, knowing that she wanted to pursue music or theater\, she worked backstage at the Opera Company of Boston and wrote plays on the side. But she was in Boston\, and the muse led her into the myriad open mics and tip jar gigs of booming folk revival. She opened a trunk of old songs and started writing new ones. Dar still loves every minute of her job and always advises folks to “follow their muse.” She still goes wherever the muse leads her\, which\, presently\, is right back on her couch\, coffee on the coffee table\, guitar in hand\, writing her next batch of songs. Come by and pick up a copy of Dar's latest album\, “I’ll Meet You Here.”\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4229/4230 for more detail.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

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

Bokuseki as Bodily Relic: Embodying Lineage and Enlightenment through Ink Traces in Medieval Japanese Zen DESCRIPTION:The Chinese monks who emigrated to Japan in the thirteenth century witnessed many ruptures in their personal\, institutional\, and spiritual lives. They sought and performed continuity and connection with sources of spiritual authority by marshaling a combination of written and oral texts\, material objects\, embodied practices\, and institutional structures. Among these\, the function and significance of their written traces (J. bokuseki 墨蹟) as embodied relics in themselves have yet to be fully assessed. Focusing on the case study of two abbots of Engakuji in Kamakura\, Wuxue Zuyuan 無學祖元 (J. Mugaku Sogen\, 1226–1286) and Daxiu Zhengnian 大休正念 (J. Daikyū Shōnen\, 1215–1289)\, this study explores how they and their circles employed brushed texts to supplement and even replace the legitimizing and ritual roles of portraits\, relics\, and master-disciple relationships. Through close analysis of the creation and reception of specific works in their broader cultural and religious contexts\, this study considers the ontologies of writer and the written word\, pointing to how the medium was used to perform embodied enlightenment while enabling spiritual and personal connections across time and space.

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

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

It is an exploratory paper based on initial observations from multispecies ethnographic research I have recently started conducting in the UAE and within online animal welfare groups for the Gulf region. I use the cases of Dubai Expo 2020 and Qatar’s 2022 World Cup to consider how large-scale urban development and shifting state policies have impacted both human and nonhuman residents\, as well as the relationships between them. These spectacular events and the planning around them have particularly affected already-precarious populations like low-wage immigrants from Asia and Africa and stray cats and dogs. The entangled precarities between species are made visible through new urban geographies\, state rhetorics of multiculturalism and tolerance\, the effects of COVID-19\, and policies aimed at producing sustainable cities and environmentally conscious citizens.\n \n Neha Vora is a Professor of Anthropology in the Department of International Studies at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. Her research and teaching interests include diasporas and migration\, citizenship\, globalized higher education\, gender\, liberalism\, political economy\, and human-nonhuman encounters\, primarily in the Arabian Peninsula region. She is the author of *Impossible Citizens: Dubai’s Indian Diaspora *(Duke University Press\, 2013) and *Teach for Arabia: American Universities\, Liberalism\, and Transnational Qatar *(Stanford University Press\, 2018). She has also published a co-authored book with Ahmed Kanna and Amelie Le Renard\, *Beyond Exception: New Interpretations of the Arabian Peninsula *(Cornell University Press\, 2020). Her current research project is examining animal care work in the Gulf and the shifting precarities for both immigrants and the unhoused animals they care for within post-Covid economic conditions and emergent state sustainability discourses and policies.\n \n This event is part of the CMENAS Fall Colloquium 2023: “The MENA world after a MENA World Cup” 555 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.\n \n Colloquium questions: cmenas@umich.edu\n \n This series is funded in part by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies (CMENAS) U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center (NRC) grant.\n \n To register\, go to https://myumi.ch/8eA8n.

As they moved\, they responded to a crisis in environment and society that left them disconnected from their ancestors and former neighbors\, seeking new identities and relationships among Khoisan foragers. In a new multicultural space\, increasingly diverse Nguni-speaking communities used rites of passage\, gendered institutions\, identities\, and relationships to forge concepts and practices of morality. Gendered morality established ties between dispersed populations and among people without shared ancestry that in turn shaped ideas about power and belonging. In response to this history\, I present the framework of gendered mutualism\, in which gender emerged through unique speech patterns and social bonds neither universally available nor fully embodied.

Depending on the strength of the boundary\, the polymers are expected to have two distinct phases: the bound phase and the unbound phase. In this talk\, I will focus on the half-space polymer model with log-gamma weights which makes the model integrable. I will describe our results in the unbound phase where we obtain KPZ exponents and in the bound phase where we obtain stochastic boundedness of the endpoint. Our proof proceeds by constructing the half-space log-gamma line ensemble which has a novel feature of attraction/repulsion at the boundaries. Based on two joint works: one with Guillaume Barraquand and Ivan Corwin\, and one with Weitao Zhu.

The transformative potential of Cas9 as a precision therapeutic cannot be realized without an understanding of its interdomain communication and the mitigation of deleterious off-target cleavage\, which is being characterized at the atomic level in the group. A series of vignettes will highlight NMR studies of Cas9 through a “divide-and-conquer” approach using engineered protein constructs and first demonstrate that multi-timescale motions in the catalytic nuclease of Cas9 propagates chemical information that regulates cleavage of double-stranded DNA. The talk will also highlight specificity-enhancing mutations in Cas9 that rewire its regulatory mechanism and RNA interactions at the molecular level to mitigate off-target DNA cleavage. Critical energetics of the mechanism will be discussed\, including the importance of metal ions and the protonation state of the catalytic histidine\, studied via catalytic pocket mutations that limit conformational sampling of the Cas9 active state. Lastly\, insight from canonical Cas9s will be expanded to highly stable thermophiles that are more promising for genome engineering and offer tunable high-temperature DNA editing and RNA binding. The underlying chemistry and atomic level dynamics of Cas9 will be linked to its nucleic acid interactions and biological outcomes\, hopefully opening new avenues for intuitive manipulation of its function and precision therapeutic properties.

Our main findings show that a shift from a non-WFH economy to WFH reduces employment and raises the wage in high-tax states\, with larger effects under source taxation. Once WHF is established\, an increase in a state’s tax rate either reduces employ- ment further while raising the wage (source taxation) or leaves the labor market unaffected (residence taxation). We show that the residence-taxation equilibrium is efficient.

In the case of determinantal thickening of maximal minors and sub-maximal Pfaffians\, we employ the aforementioned techniques along with the classification of simple D-modules on spaces of matrices by Raicu\, Weyman and Witt to study the module structures of the corresponding Ext modules\, thereby answering a question about socle degrees of local cohomology modules raised by Zhang. This is joint work with Mike Perlman.

Fans have often compared their sound to riding through the desert with the top down\, or the feeling of being in some lonesome smoky bar off the side of an abandoned highway\, or music from a Spaghetti Western. William P. Davis (Former Deputy Director of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville) says of the band\, “I’ve heard a lot of good musicians. The Whiskey Charmers remind me of no one—and\, to me\, that is one of the best compliments an act can receive.” Many fans have become familiar with The Whiskey Charmers music through the video game Detroit: Become Human\, a cinematic neo-noir thriller game that has sold more than five million copies worldwide. The Whiskey Charmers will be releasing their fifth full length album in November 2023.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4288/4289 for more detail.

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics.

They received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wayne State University and an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Nour Ballout’s practice grapples with the ways looking can manifest as both resistance and violence while negotiating the tensions among visibility\, documentation and surveillance. Through photography\, archive and space making\, their work interrogates the ways the naturalization of structures of power manifest within bodies\, built environments\, and communities.\n\nNour currently serves on the Detroit Institute of Arts contemporary arts advisory group. They are the recipient of many awards\, fellowships and grants that include the 2023 Modern Ancient Brown Fellowship\, the ICI EXPO Curatorial Research Fellowship\, the 2022 Michigan Arts and Cultural Council Grant\, the 2021 Transforming Power Fund Grant\, the 2019 Knight Arts Challenge Award\, Kresge Arts in Detroit Gilda Award and many more.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

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

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

The 2023 Respond/Resist/Rethink exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U‑M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn).\n\nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one’s personal politics\, an artwork’s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. Respond/​Resist/​Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\n\nNote: The Duderstadt Center will close slightly earlier\, on Dec 1.\nDuderstadt Center Gallery Hours: Noon-6pm Tues-Fri\, Noon-6pm Sunday UID:114465-21832936@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114465 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery, Room 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20231108T110810 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231121T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231121T125000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Use of High-Resolution Metabolomics to Measure Internal Exposures & Investigate the Molecular Mechanisms Accounting for the Complex Health Responses to Ubiquitous Environmental Pollutants DESCRIPTION:Registration required \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zPWpbFzsQH-Vxs5uwGDMew\n\nUnderstanding the mechanistic basis of environmental pollutant toxicity is dependent on accurately characterizing both exposure and biological responses\, especially in the era of exposomics and precision environmental health. Untargeted metabolomics\, an analysis of small-molecule metabolic phenotypes\, may offer improved estimation of exposures and corresponding health responses to complex environmental mixtures such as air pollution and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The field remains nascent\, however\, with questions concerning the coherence and generalizability of findings across studies\, study designs and analytical platforms. In over ten independent panel and cross-sectional cohort studies\, we demonstrated the utility of high-resolution metabolomics as a central platform linking environmental exposure to internal dose and biological response where we identified novel metabolites and metabolic pathways related to complex air pollution and POPs mixtures. Specifically\, biological perturbations in oxidative stress\, systemic inflammation\, and DNA damage and repair related pathway and metabolites were associated with exposures to air pollution and POPs\, as well as a wide range of adverse health responses\, especially among vulnerable population. These results hold great promise for identifying key connections between environmental exposures and corresponding adverse health effects. Future directions should focus on validation of these findings via hypothesis-driven protocols\, technical advances in metabolic annotation and quantification\, and application of multi-omics integration.

For many years\, it remained unclear if the big bang singularities were physically relevant. It was thought by some that big bang singularities were due to the unphysical assumption of spatial homogeneity and that they would disappear in non-homogenous spacetimes\, or in other words\, big bang singularities were unstable under nonlinear perturbations as solutions to the Einstein field equations. A partial resolution to this situation came in 1967 when Hawking established his singularity theorem that guarantees a cosmological spacetime will be geodesically incomplete for a large class of matter models and initial data sets\, including highly anisotropic ones. While Hawking's singularity theorem guarantees that cosmological spacetimes are geodesically incomplete (i.e. at least one observer will experience something pathological at a finite time in the past) for a large class of initial data sets\, it is silent on the cause of the geodesic incompleteness. It has been widely anticipated that the geodesics incompleteness is due to the formation of curvature singularities\, and it is an outstanding problem in mathematical cosmology to rigorously establish the conditions under which this expectation is true and to understand the dynamical behaviour of cosmological solutions near singularities.\n\nIn this talk\, I will begin by introducing the FLRW and Kasner solutions of the Einstein-scalar field equations\, which are exact\, spatially homogeneous solutions that play a distinguished role in the analysis of big bang singularities. After briefly providing context for the FLRW and Kasner solutions in the historical development of the field of cosmology\,\nI will define what it means for a FLRW/Kasner big bang singularity to be stable. With this notion in hand\, I will then discuss the recent influential FLRW and Kasner big bang stability proofs of Rodnianski-Speck and Fournodavlos-Rodnianski-Speck. One aspect of these stability results that I will pay particular attention to is their global nature. To conclude the talk\, I will discuss some recent work done in collaboration with Florian Beyer where we improve the Rodnianski-Speck FLRW big bang stability result by establishing that the FRLW big bang is locally stable\, which is a significantly stronger notion of stability with important physical consequences that I will briefly discuss. Time permitting\, I will also briefly discuss more recent work with Florian Beyer on the stability of big bang singularities when relativistic fluids are present.

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass)\, the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.\n\nLearn more about the exhibition and the artists at https://myumi.ch/8eVrM\n\nThe exhibit opens on September 15\, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

It centers on the titular “manga map”\, a rare Japanese travel map of Japan (ca. 1934) that is densely packed with manga illustrations detailing local folklore\, history\, architecture\, flora/fauna\, and more. The exhibit also includes works of Japanese art and cartography in order to consider the dichotomy between artistry and geographic depiction\, and how that plays with the definition of a “map.”\n\nAlongside the exhibit\, the manga map is also part of a new digital humanities preservation project at the library using the online crowd-sourcing platform Zooniverse\, where the map will be transcribed/translated and made into a fully interactive digital map. More information is available at the exhibit.\n\nBoth the exhibit and the Zooniverse project were created as a summer internship capstone project by Joel Liesenberg\, a dual-degree master’s student in International and Regional Studies focusing in Japanese studies and the School of Information focusing in digital curation.

Death threats and assassinations\, politically motivated sectarian violence\, rampant corruption\, and de-Ba’athification policies only further destabilized an educational system already heaving under the devastation of wars\, authoritarian regimes\, and harsh economic sanctions.\n\nThis exhibit invites solidarity with the academics targeted\, but also deeper connection with their experiences and the richness of Iraqi academic life through their written legacies and the testimonies of surviving academics\, many of whom were driven into exile.\n\nThis exhibit in the north lobby is available during Hatcher Library hours (https://myumi.ch/p75dd).\n\nA companion online exhibit\, Tracing Iraqi Artists: From Shadow to Light (https://myumi.ch/n7xre)\, explores modern Iraqi struggle and resistance through contemporary visual art and connection to Iraqi artists and educators. The curators of the online exhibit\, 2023 Michigan Library Scholars Zainab Hakim and Serena Safawi\, hope to center surviving Iraqi artists as they explore their national and artistic identities and respond to the cycles of violence caused by the Iran-Iraq war\, sanctions\, and occupation.

In the years immediately preceding the dam’s construction\, the American University in Cairo directed a large-scale project of salvage anthropology with funding from the Ford Foundation. \n\nThis endeavor yielded hundreds of photographs of al-nuba al-qadima or “Old Nubia” the term affectionately used by community members. Over the past sixty years\, Nubians have used these images to cultivate a collective memory of a lost homeland. From Aswan to Alexandria and beyond\, community members are salvaging their own stories from this anthropological archive\, reshaping it as a sentimental terrain of solidarity across time\, space\, and circumstance. \n\nThis selection of photographs includes persons\, places\, and practices as well as glimpses of the presence of the photographer and researchers. Both online and offline\, Egyptian Nubians continue to share and re-mediate these photos as they recall their historical displacement and revitalize their heritage for future generations.\n\nThe exhibit is curated by Yasmin Moll\, assistant professor of anthropology\, and coordinated by Nesrien Hamid\, doctoral student in anthropology\, with funding from the University of Michigan's Humanities Collaboratory.\n\nFor a deeper dive\, visit the companion exhibit\, Narrating Nubia\, at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus. It delves into the archaeological\, anthropological\, and community narratives of both ancient and modern-day Nubia spanning Egypt and Sudan.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018). Since 2019 she has been teaching at the Kyiv State Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk. Her work is in the field of artistic textiles and digital graphics.

They received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wayne State University and an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Nour Ballout’s practice grapples with the ways looking can manifest as both resistance and violence while negotiating the tensions among visibility\, documentation and surveillance. Through photography\, archive and space making\, their work interrogates the ways the naturalization of structures of power manifest within bodies\, built environments\, and communities.\n\nNour currently serves on the Detroit Institute of Arts contemporary arts advisory group. They are the recipient of many awards\, fellowships and grants that include the 2023 Modern Ancient Brown Fellowship\, the ICI EXPO Curatorial Research Fellowship\, the 2022 Michigan Arts and Cultural Council Grant\, the 2021 Transforming Power Fund Grant\, the 2019 Knight Arts Challenge Award\, Kresge Arts in Detroit Gilda Award and many more.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.

Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one'\;s personal politics\, an artwork'\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process.

Guardian Passage: The Power of Ukrainian Cultural Memory in the Face of War DESCRIPTION:*Presented in association with UMS*.\n\nIn Guardian Passage\, artists Irina Bondarenko and Katya Lisova employ the tools and imagery of traditional Ukrainian art forms to face down the existential threat brought about by Russia’s war on Ukraine. Bondarenko’s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko’s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war\; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats\, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova’s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage\, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline\, red thread connects these projects\, weaving through clay and fabric\, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on “Arts and Resistance.”\n\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist\, a native of Ukraine\, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan. Irina has been with the University of Michigan Biostatistics Department for more than 20 years. and published over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Along with her career at the School of Public Health\, for the last 10 years Irina has been pursuing her interest in ceramics. Her work was featured in over a dozen national shows\, the 24th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition\, and the “Strictly Functional Pottery National Show” in 2021 and 2022\, and\, most recently\, the Regional Biennial Juried Sculpture Exhibition at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum.\n\nArtist website: https://www.ibondceramics.com/\n\nKatya Lisova is an artist\, designer\, and art historian. Born in Kyiv\, she is a graduate of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts and Design named after Mykhailo Boichuk (2009) and the National Academy of Cultural and Artistic Leaders (2018).

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities. This exhibition is part of LSA's fall 2023 Art & Resistance theme semester.* UID:110231-21824635@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/110231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Theme Semester,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities. This exhibition is part of LSA's fall 2023 Art & Resistance theme semester.* UID:110231-21824636@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/110231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Theme Semester,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

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

All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, or Flint U-M campuses in Fall 2023 are invited to apply to this juried exhibition that explores what can be done to create more just and equitable futures in the 21st Century and beyond.\n The 2023 exhibition will include art of a variety of mediums and will be displayed in four galleries across all three U-M campuses\, including Stamps Gallery (Central Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Duderstadt Center Gallery (North Campus\, Ann Arbor)\, Riverbank Arts (Flint)\, and Stamelos Gallery (Dearborn). \nThe arts play a central role in shaping cultural and political narratives. Artists\, designers and creatives of diverse backgrounds have been at the forefront of social change by offering alternate models and ways of thinking\, making and creating that do not perpetuate dominant regimes. Creative processes have been used time and again to reveal under-told stories and to resist simple narratives. Regardless of one'\;s personal politics\, an artwork'\;s potential to change hearts and minds is urgent and necessary. \nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink invites students to leverage their creativity to (re)imagine what they can do to create a more just and equitable community in the spaces that they inhabit.\nThroughout the spring\, summer\, and fall of 2023\, U-M students submitted artworks through an open call process. A final list of artworks were chosen for the exhibition by a Selection Committee made up of U-M faculty\, staff\, and students. \n\nThe 2023 RRR Selection Committee members are: \nPedram Baldari\, Jim Cogswell\, Laura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Adrienne Frank\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Quinn Hunter\, Ikalanni Jahi\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, Kathi Reister\, Chloe Schans\, and Grace Sirman. \nThe 2023 RRR Curatorial Committee members are: \nLaura Cotton\, Nalani Duarte\, Benjamin Gaydos\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Kathi Reister. \nThe 2023 RRR Organizing Committee members are: Chris Audain\, Adrienne Frank\, Kathryn Grabowski-Khairullah\, Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan\, Joe Levickas\, Srimoyee Mitra\, and Joe Rohrer.

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