It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621578@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250429T181504 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250424T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250424T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Perspective{s}: The 2025 IP Exhibition DESCRIPTION:All Stamps seniors who are enrolled in the year-long Integrative Project course participate in the IP Exhibition held each spring\, which is the culmination of their thesis work.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Letting the production process mature for a longer period of time increases labor productivity\, but it comes at the cost of higher working capital needs for firms. Under autarky\, countries with lower interest rates feature longer production processes\, higher labor productivity\, and higher wages. In a free trade equilibrium\, countries with lower interest rates specialize in relatively ‘time intensive’ stages in global value chains (GVCs). Yet\, if free trade brings about interest rate equalization\, wages are also equalized and the pattern of trade is instead shaped by capital intensity and capital abundance\, regardless of the time intensity of the various stages. Reductions in trade costs lead to patterns of specialization associated with higher amounts of vertical specialization in world trade. A worldwide decline in interest rates similarly fosters an increase in the share of GVC trade in world trade. The framework also sheds light on the role of trade credit and trade finance in shaping international specialization.

DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 24\, 2025 at 12:00-1:30pm ET\n12:00-1:00 Seminar\n1:00-1:30 Questions and Collaboration\n\nRoom 6050\, ISR Thompson\n\nRSVP to attend\n\nAbstract\nDevelopmental differences between children growing up in poverty and their higher-income peers are frequently reported. However\, the extent to which such differences are caused by differences in family income is unclear. To study the causal role of income on children’s development\, the Baby’s First Years randomized control trial provided families with monthly unconditional cash transfers. One thousand racially and ethnically diverse mothers with incomes below the U.S. federal poverty line were recruited from postpartum wards in 2018-19\, and randomized to receive either $333/month or $20/month for the first several years of their children’s lives. After the first four years of the intervention (n=891)\, and stellar field work by SRC\, we find xxx impacts of the cash transfers on four preregistered primary outcomes (language\, executive function\, social-emotional problems\, and high-frequency brain activity) and yyy impacts on three secondary outcomes (visual processing/spatial perception\, pre-literacy\, maternal reports of developmental diagnoses). At the seminar we will fill in the blanks!\n\nBiography\nGreg Duncan is Distinguished Professor in the School of Education at the University of California\, Irvine. He spent the first 25 years of his career at the University of Michigan working on and ultimately directing the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data collection project. Duncan’s recent work has focused on estimating the role of school-entry skills and behaviors on later school achievement and attainment and the effects of increasing income inequality on schools and children’s life chances. He is part of a team conducting the Baby’s First Years project – a random-assignment trial assessing impacts of income supplements on the cognitive and socioemotional development of infants born to poor mothers in four diverse U.S. communities. Duncan was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2010 and has recently chaired two NAS consensus panels on child poverty.

Our goal with this event is to address these critical and timely issues with leading thinkers in their respective fields.\n\nWe hope that this will be the first of many events to dive deeper into collaborative computational humanities methods with our research community.\n\nPanels:\nMultilingual Digital Humanities:\n\nAndrew Janco and Quinn Dombrowski have both\, individually and together\, made significant contributions to the expanding field of multilingual digital humanities. They were part of the educational initiative “New Languages for NLP: Building Linguistic Diversity in the Digital Humanities\,” funded by a National Endowment for Humanities Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities grant. This grant enabled scholars to create high-quality linguistic data and train models for under-resourced\, domain-specific\, and on eleven historical languages: Ottoman Turkish\, Tigrinya\, Kanbun\, Efik\, 19th c. Russian\, Classical Arabic\, Old Chinese\, Yoruba\, Quechua\, Yiddish and Kanada. In this panel\, they will talk about what they’ve accomplished\, the challenges they’ve faced\, and future directions for multilingual digital humanities.\n\nHumanities and Data Work:\n\nMeredith Martin and Zoe LeBlanc will delve into their forthcoming book\, Data Work in the Humanities (Princeton University Press). This work is a result of their long-running collaboration and features over 25 interviews with other humanists who work with data. This panel will explore how our technologically mediated environment has reshaped traditional academic models\, emphasizing the need to move beyond the notion of the autonomous scholar. Instead\, they argue for recognizing the interconnectedness of critical sources and the necessity of collaboration\, interdisciplinarity\, and collectivity within the humanities research ecosystem. They will address the challenges of establishing common data workflows in a field where research practices and assumptions about scholarship and data are not widely discussed.\n\nPanelists’ bios:\n\nAndrew Janco is the digital scholarship specialist at Princeton University.   He has experience using natural language processing and computer vision to analyze large historical document collections and has a passion for inquiry-driven and community-engaged digital projects. Andy is the co-director of “New Languages for NLP: Building Linguistic Diversity in the Digital Humanities\,” an NEH-funded Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities. He is also the lead developer working on a digital archive and research application with the Groupo de Apoyo Mutuo\, Guatemala’s oldest human rights organization. Andy received his PhD in Russian history from the University of Chicago and a master’s in library and information science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\n\nQuinn Dombrowski (non-binary\, any pronouns are fine) is the Academic Technology Specialist in the Division of Literatures\, Cultures\, and Languages\, and in the Library\, at Stanford University. Prior to coming to Stanford in 2018\, Quinn’s many DH adventures included supporting the high-performance computing cluster at UC Berkeley\, running the DiRT tool directory with support from the Mellon Foundation\, writing books on Drupal for Humanists and University of Chicago library graffiti\, and working on the program staff of Project Bamboo\, a failed digital humanities cyberinfrastructure initiative. Since coming to Stanford\, Quinn has supported numerous non-English DH projects\, taught courses on non-English DH\, developed a tabletop roleplaying game to teach DH project management\, explored trends in multilingual Harry Potter fanfic\, and started the Data-Sitters Club\, a feminist DH pedagogy and research group focused on Ann M. Martin’s 90’s girls series “The Baby-Sitters Club.” Quinn is currently co-VP of the Association for Computers and the Humanities along with Roopika Risam\, and advocates for better support for DH in languages other than English. Quinn has a BA/MA in Slavic Linguistics from the University of Chicago\, and an MLIS from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\n\nMeredith Martin is the founder and faculty director of the Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton University\, where she has also been a professor in the English department since 2006. Her book The Rise and Fall of Meter: Poetry and English National Culture 1860-1930 won the MLA First Book Prize and the Brooks-Warren Prize for Literary Criticism and was co-winner of the Sonya Rudikoff Prize. Her second book\, Poetry’s Data: Digital Humanities and the Future of Historical Prosody\, was just published by Princeton University Press\, as is Data Work in the Humanities\, with Professor Zoe LeBlanc. With Mary Naydan\, she oversees the Princeton Prosody Archive\, a full-text searchable database of a variety of textual materials about the study of poetry and pronunciation in English from the 16th-century to the current copyright year. Martin received her BA from Smith College and her MA and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.\n\nZoe LeBlanc joined the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois as an assistant professor in August 2021.

It considers the effects of covariates on the entire outcome distribution rather than solely on the mean. I adopt a semiparametric approach by considering two-way unit-specific effects. Thus\, I extend the standard distribution regression approach to a network setting by estimating multiple binary choice models with two-way fixed effects for different thresholds of the distribution. I employ a conditional maximum-likelihood approach that differences out the unit-specific effects\, avoiding the incidental parameter problem. This method yields consistent point estimates that converge at a parametric rate and remain asymptotically unbiased in the tails of the outcome distribution\, where the underlying network can be seen as sparse. Monte Carlo simulations validate these findings for single cut-off points and the overall outcome distribution. The empirical application focuses on gravity equations for bilateral trade\, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach in cases where the outcome variable is bounded below at zero.

Here\, we highlight recent work on the vapor-phase synthetic control of Si nanowires\, photoelectrochemical interfaces\, and hybrid perovskite materials. Together\, these processes provide platforms to design chemically encoded\, nanostructured systems for applications ranging from solar water splitting to photovoltaic solar cells. First\, we show how abrupt transitions between p-type\, intrinsic\, and n-type silicon allow nanowire p-i-n superlattices to be synthesized that behave as multijunction photovoltaic devices with extraordinarily large photovoltages. Using spatio-selective photoelectrochemical deposition of hydrogen and oxygen-evolving co-catalysts\, water splitting particle suspensions are demonstrated. Second\, we show how planar silicon interfaces can be functionalized with nanoscale oxide and graphene layers\, facilitating the integration of molecular catalysts for solar-driven CO2 reduction. Finally\, we demonstrate the first metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3). Use of separate vapor precursors for the lead\, organic\, and halide components allows the tuning of reaction conditions to grow the material directly with high purity. Overall\, the projects highlight the precise and tunable control of material composition\, morphology\, and functionality provided by the vapor phase.

With just an image of a face\, a person can be depicted in intimate contexts without their permission\, or even awareness. Victims of non-consensual intimate content (NCIM) experience extreme loss of privacy\, dignity\, and safety. Victims can range from celebrities to politicians to everyday citizens to children. NCIM online is not a new problem – people’s bodies and likeness have been captured\, altered\, and distributed online without their permission since the early days of the Internet. However\, the scale and scope enabled by generative AI has dramatically changed the landscape of sexual harms. We will examine the legal and ethical concerns posed by non-consensual intimate content and explore the regulatory and technological measures needed to address it. We will also provide practical recommendations for requesting takedown of non-consensual content after it happens.\n\nBiography\nSarita Schoenebeck is a Professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025.

We combine novel data on search activity with a panel of household surveys\, administrative application data\, randomized information experiments\, and a model of demand and sequential search with subjective beliefs. Descriptively\, households hold inaccurate beliefs and misperceptions along multiple dimensions which distort the perceived returns to search. Most importantly\, they do not know all schools\, and misperceive quality ratings of the schools they know and like. Improving the search technology would raise households’ search effort and welfare. Correcting misperceptions about known schools’ observables would cause students to match to schools with higher quality\, equal to what can be achieved under a full-information benchmark. Models without misperceptions would incorrectly predict quality reductions.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250421T093624 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250425T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250425T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Yaolin Miao Dissertation Defense DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Observational seismology plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the Earth's dynamic processes and internal structure\, serving as the foundation of seismic hazard assessment. It relies heavily on the availability and quality of data from a wide range of sources. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an emerging technology with the potential to greatly expand seismic data coverage by converting fiber-optic cables into dense arrays of seismic sensors. Compared to conventional instruments\, DAS offers unique advantages in spatial density and convenient deployment\, particularly in challenging or previously inaccessible environments. However\, DAS also presents several limitations\, including lower signal-to-noise ratios for individual channels\, indirect measurements of ground motion\, and directional sensitivity to axial fiber orientation. As a result\, data processing procedures for routine seismic monitoring need to accommodate these features. This thesis contributes to developing modified processing techniques and evaluating the performance of DAS arrays under various conditions across three key applications: event detection\, source imaging\, and shallow subsurface characterization. The findings of these case studies aim to provide implications to the seismological community in assessing the potential for integrating DAS into modern seismic networks.\n\nIn Chapter 2\, we focused on assessing the recording capability of an Ocean-Bottom DAS (OBDAS) array in the Sanriku region\, Japan. We introduced two array-based detection methods—Waveform Similarity Search (WSS) and Spectrum Similarity Search (SSS)—that utilize the dense spatial sampling of OBDAS to detect coherent earthquake signals over subsections of the array. These techniques detected thousands of cataloged and previously uncataloged earthquakes. By analyzing the detection statistics\, We found that the recording capability of the OBDAS array varies substantially across channels\, and the array is well capable of recording regional earthquakes within a 100 km radius region. The array also recorded local repeating earthquakes across different subregions. These results highlight the feasibility of using OBDAS for long-term seismic monitoring and its potential to address the scarcity of offshore instrumentation\, especially near subduction zones with extensive submarine fiber networks.\n\nIn Chapter 3\, we investigated the potential of DAS on earthquake rupture imaging. We utilized both synthetic data and realistic recordings to identify the significant challenges of applying the Back-projection method (BP) to DAS data: the unstable solvability caused by highly asymmetric array geometry and limited azimuth coverage. Considering these constraints\, we also proposed several data processing procedures to better adapt DAS data for BP analysis. We demonstrated the effectiveness of BP with the 2022 MW7.6 Michoacán earthquake recorded by a DAS array in Mexico City. Our analysis demonstrated that\, despite some limitations\, DAS-based BP could successfully capture key rupture features\, including multiple subevents and rupture direction. Meanwhile\, we analyzed several sources of uncertainty and proposed practical guidelines for improving DAS-based BP performance. We also proposed an initial assessment scheme to understand the feasibility of BP analysis for a given event-array geometry\, which is transferrable to other similar studies. Our work highlights the potential of DAS to enhance earthquake source imaging on a regional-to-local scale\, offering alternative yet valuable insights into regions under-served by conventional seismic networks.\n\nIn Chapter 4\, we used ambient seismic fields recorded by an ocean-bottom DAS array to image the shallow subsurface beneath the Florence region. Leveraging the long-duration recordings of DAS\, we retrieved coherent surface waves through extensive stacking and applied a double-beamforming (DBF) approach to stably measure multimode dispersions. We performed a perturbational-based inversion method to invert for S-wave velocities over the first 2000-meter sediments underlying the fiber-optic cable. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the DBF method in enhancing spatial resolution. While the high cost and limited availability of underwater instruments hinder progress in imaging shallow structures in marine settings\, this work demonstrates the potential of OBDAS arrays for high-resolution passive imaging.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

As the challenges facing these social-ecological systems intensify\, it is critical to understand the relationships between fishing communities and reef ecosystems. My dissertation draws on ecological and social science theory\, quantitative modeling\, field experiments\, and ethnographic research to provide an insight into the role of fish and fishers’ behavior in shaping small-scale reef fisheries. In my first study\, I documented behavioral responses of fishers in The Bahamas to a Category 5 hurricane and the COVID-19 pandemic\, highlighting key factors that influence resilience in the face of external shocks. In two subsequent studies\, I investigated the use of artificial reefs to augment fisheries production in the Caribbean. I used an individual-based model to demonstrate how fish behavior and size structure alter production dynamics on artificial reefs. Next\, I combined a decade of timeseries data on artificial reefs\, empirical data on fish population dynamics\, and production models to provide mechanistic evidence that artificial reefs enhance fisheries production. Together\, my research provides scientific insight into community resilience and fisheries management strategies that can be used to help support small-scale fisheries and the communities who depend on them.

Attendees can join online or at 2636 GGB (Breakfast and coffee will be provided)\nLink to join via Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\n\nAbstract:\nIn the first part of this talk\, we will discuss summary statistics of physics-based model outputs and their correction with observational data.\nPhysics-based models capture broad-scale dynamics across various spatial and temporal scales\, they often face challenges such as modeling biases\, high computational costs\, along with large outputs that are challenging to manipulate. On the other hand\, observations capture localized variability but are typically sparse. This talk presents an innovative approach to address these challenges by utilizing summary statistics from physics-based model outputs and enhancing them with observational information via neural networks.\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, we will present neural networks with closed-form probabilistic loss that applied to super-resolution of surface wind speed. We will illustrate that the use of a closed-form probabilistic loss provides the neural network with a sampling capability and a spatial covariance for super-resolved wind fields.\n\nThese are joint work with Atlanta Chakraborty (NREL)\, Harrison Goldwyn (NREL)\, Daniel Getter (USC)\, Johann Rudi (Virginia Tech) and Mitchell Krock (University of Missouri)\n\nBio: Julie Bessac received her Ph.D. degree in 2014 in Applied Mathematics from the University of Rennes 1\, France.

We study limit cases that correspond to high coordination motives\, infinite patience\, vanishing stubbornness\, and small exposure to the real sector in the applications above. Under monotonicity and continuity assumptions\, we provide explicit expressions for the limit fixed points. We show that\, under differentiability\, the limit fixed point is linear in the initial conditions and characterized by the Jacobian of the operator at any constant vector with an explicit and linear rate of convergence. Without differentiability\, but under additional concavity properties\, the multiplicity of Jacobians is resolved by a representation of the limit fixed point as a maxmin functional evaluated at the initial conditions. In our applications\, we use these results to characterize the limit equilibrium actions\, prices\, and endogenous networks\, show the existence and give the formula of the asymptotic value in a class of zero-sum stochastic games with a continuum of actions\, compute a nonlinear version of the eigenvector centrality of agents in networks\, and characterize the equilibrium loss evaluations in financial networks.

Having spent much of the last decade touring around the world as The Tallest Man on Earth\, Matsson has captivated audiences using\, as The New York Times describes\, “every inch of his long guitar cord to roam the stage: darting around\, crouching\, stretching\, hip-twitching\, perching briefly and jittering away…Mr. Matsson is a guitar-slinger rooted in folk\, and his songs are troubadour ballads at heart.”\n\nThen came 2020\, when Matsson left New York City and returned to his farm in Sweden. There\, during that quiet\, dreary time of isolation\, he drowned out his thoughts by manically growing vegetables in his garden. When he tried writing again\, during those many months of collective forced solitude\, “I just found myself commenting on the darkness\,” Matsson says. “I lost my imagination.” Playing live\, music and inspiration returned near the end of 2021\, and his produce became less of a priority. “When I’m in motion\, I can focus on my instinct\, have my daydreams again. When I was finally able to tour again\, I started writing like a madman.” He eventually had twenty songs he wanted to record in ten days. \n\nNow\, Matsson returns as The Tallest Man on Earth with Henry St.\, his sixth studio album following 2012’s There’s No Leaving Now\, full of “vivid imagery\, clever turns-of-phrase\, and devastating\, world-weary observations” (Under The Radar) and 2015’s Dark Bird Is A Home\, his “most personal record… surreal and dreamlike” (Pitchfork).

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621580@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250409T162705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250426T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250426T160000 SUMMARY:Other:WoW Bike Recycling Project: Donation Drop-Off DESCRIPTION:Give your bike a second life with Wolverines on Wheels!

Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818102@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250427T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250427T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621581@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250427T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250427T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

By increasing the number of populations in the models\, they can approximate any distribution arbitrarily well\, albeit at the cost of interpretability. This poses a non-trivial question in practice: How should we select the complexity of mixture and admixture models and interpret them? This dissertation aims to answer this question by studying their asymptotic theory and developing novel statistical methods to select and interpret models fit to heterogeneous data\, especially in genomics and population genetics. The two main tools used throughout the dissertation are optimal transport distances and non-parametric statistical methods.\n\nFirstly\, we provide an in-depth asymptotic analysis of finite mixture models and their variants. By developing novel notions of strong identifiability\, we prove the convergence rate of mixing measures under optimal transport distances in mixture of regression models and deviating mixture models\, which are widely used extensions of finite mixture models. The pointwise parameter estimation rate is shown to be optimal when the number of populations is known\, but far slower when it is over-fitted. Indeed\, when over-fitting\, many redundant mixture components can compete to estimate a common true component\, so their estimation rates cancel out. Motivated by this phenomenon\, we develop a novel algorithm to combine mixture components\, leading to a better parameter estimation rate from over-fitted mixing measures. The outcome of this algorithm is a hierarchical clustering tree of mixing measures\, which visualizes the relative distance between mixture components and is useful for selecting models. Our method is illustrated on several simulated datasets and a single-cell RNA-seq dataset.\n\nNext\, we study the theory and methods for admixture models. In context of topic modeling\, by developing a general representation of Dirichlet moment tensors by diagonal tensors and vice versa using techniques in enumerative combinatorics\, we connect Latent Dirichlet Allocation to the (simpler) mixture of product models\, which paves the way to provide the topics’ estimation rate in both settings where the true number of topics is known and unknown. Finally\, the large-sample theory of admixture models in the context of population genetics is studied. We propose an asymptotic version of a regularity condition known as the “anchor condition”\, which allows us to establish the parameter estimation rate in the large sample size and high-dimensional regime. Motivated by the theory\, a fast and accurate model selection method using parametric bootstraps is proposed. We illustrate our theory and methods using several datasets simulated by the admixture and coalescent models.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621582@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250421T113230 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250429T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250429T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775 DESCRIPTION:The William L.

In the past\, a person’s political outlook was not a particularly reliable predictor of whether they would participate in surveys. Now it is. Polling organizations are implementing numerous strategies to combat this challenge. This presentation covers the nonresponse challenge from the perspective of Pew Research Center\, a national nonpartisan polling organization. The talk will present data on the scope of the challenge in Pew polling\, which includes an address-based-recruited panel and an annual multimodal cross-sectional survey. It will also cover novel ways that Pew is trying to reduce nonresponse bias.\n\nBio\nCourtney Kennedy is Vice President of Methods and Innovation at Pew Research Center. She supervises the Center’s survey design and data science teams. Her research focuses on nonresponse\, weighting\, modes of administration and sampling frames. Kennedy has a doctorate from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree from the University of Maryland\, both in survey methodology. She received bachelor’s degrees from the University of Michigan in statistics and political science.

We evaporatively cool a gas of sodium-cesium molecules to below 10 nanokelvin\, deep in the quantum degenerate regime. The BECs live for several seconds. This dramatic improvement over previous attempts to cool molecules is enabled by collisional shielding via microwave dressing\, suppressing inelastic losses by four orders of magnitude. We also observe that microwave dressing provides an exceptional level of tunability of dipole-dipole interactions\, enabling novel phases of matter in molecular quantum liquids. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss our experimental approach\, share latest insights\, and give an outlook on novel opportunities enabled by molecular BECs for many-body quantum physics\, quantum simulation\, and quantum computing. In addition\, I will give a brief overview of our broader efforts in quantum. These include recent advances on single atom trapping in metasurface optical tweezer arrays [3] and our collaborative efforts with Brookhaven National Lab to realize a quantum network in the greater New York area.\n\nReferences:\n[1] Bigagli\, Yuan\, Zhang\, et al.\, Observation of Bose-Einstein condensation of dipolar molecules\, Nature 631\, 289-293 (2024)\n[2] Bigagli\, et al.\, Collisionally stable gas of bosonic dipolar ground state molecules\, Nature Physics 19\, 1579-1584 (2023)\n[3] Holman\, Xu\, et al.\, Trapping of single atoms in metasurface optical tweezer arrays\, arXiv:2411.05321 (2024) \n\nBio:\nSebastian Will is a professor of physics at Columbia University.

His unique sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to.\n\nBorn on the Isle of Man\, Manx spent his childhood in Canada and left in his teens to live in Europe\, Japan\, India and Brazil. He honed his hypnotic live show on street corners\, in cafes\, bars and at festivals. But it was Indian music that captured his attention and in the mid 80s he began a five-year tutelage with Rajasthani Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy winner with Ry Cooder for A Meeting by the River). Receiving the gift of Bhatt’s custom-made\, self-designed Mohan Veena (a 20-stringed sitar/guitar hybrid) was the catalyst for Harry to forge a new path with his now signature east-meets-west style of music. \n\nPlaying the Mohan Veena\, lap steel\, harmonica\, stomp box\, and banjo\, Manx quickly envelops the audience into what has been dubbed “the Harry Zone” with his warm vocals and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of his original songs. It’s in the live setting\, Manx says\, that the bridge between “heavenly” India and “earthy” American blues is most effectively built. “Indian music moves inward\,” he explains. “It’s traditionally used in religious ceremonies and meditation\, because it puts you into this whole other place. But Western music has the ability to move out\, into celebration and dance. So when we play the Indian stuff on stage\, it has the tendency to draw people into something really deep\; they’ll get kind of quiet and spacey. Then we’ll play some more Western music\, and it grounds them once more\, they sort of come out of the mood the Indian music had put them in and get into the performance. I love to see that working — that effect on the audience. My goal has always been to draw the audience as deep as possible into the music.”\n\nBlend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues\, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you’ll get Manx’s unique “mysticssippi” flavour. It’s hard to resist\, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Restitution of motor control and improved independence in daily life following a stroke is mediated by high dosages of intensive\, task-specific therapy. However\, adequate therapy is often limited by the high costs of outpatient therapy sessions and reduced third party coverage. As a result\, many stroke survivors must reduce their therapy dosage and do not achieve their full recovery potential. Rehabilitation devices\, such as robots\, present a unique opportunity to increase dosage by automating the repetitive features of rehabilitation\, tracking patient progression\, integrating gaming interfaces to increase patient engagement\, and expanding in-home therapy. Unfortunately\, many of these devices are highly complex\, motorized systems that are too expensive and bulky for clinical or in-home use. Therefore\, it is pertinent that researchers investigate ways to decrease the cost of rehabilitation devices while maintaining their utility in rehabilitation. Hence\, in this dissertation\, we designed\, developed\, and examined low-cost devices for stroke rehabilitation. We developed and examined three low-cost devices for stroke rehabilitation. The first device was SepaRRo\, a semi-passive planar upper extremity robot for stroke rehabilitation. SepaRRo uses controllable brakes to provide training forces to the user’s end-effector (i.e.\, hand) during targeted reaching that can either resist and steer their motion. Steering forces from SepaRRo have two potential applications in rehabilitation: guide a user onto a path to assist in learning a motor skill or steer a user away from a path so that they alter their muscle coordination. In this dissertation\, we examined the ability of SepaRRo’s steering forces to help users learn a motor skill and examined how steering forces could alter muscle coordination during functional resistance training in stroke survivors. The second device we developed and examined in this dissertation was the Hand eMBot\, a self-powered passive robot for hand rehabilitation. Here\, self-power refers to a class of stroke rehabilitation robots that use power from the less-impaired limb to assist the more-impaired limb. The Hand eMBot uses this principle to assist the more-impaired hand with finger flexion and extension. The Hand eMBot includes three coupling transmissions that couple the motion of the (i) thumbs\, (ii) index fingers\, (iii) all remaining fingers\, thereby allowing the self-power to assist in gross and dexterous digit motion. We demonstrated the ability of the Hand eMBot to reflect motion to the opposite limb\, alter corticospinal excitability\, and improve functional usage of the more-impaired hand in stroke survivors. The third and final device we examined was the NewGait®\, a commercially available passive elastic exosuit for post-stroke gait rehabilitation. The NewGait® system features a variety of attachable elastic bands that span the lower extremity joints whose stretching and relaxing during the gait cycle apply assistive torques to the wearer. In this chapter\, we examined the NewGait’s ability to supplement a post-stroke gait intervention and how it compared to a similar commercially available device. Collectively\, this dissertation will set a foundation of work for a new generation of low-cost devices for stroke rehabilitation that could increase the accessibility of cutting-edge technologies to patient populations and improve recovery outcomes.

The Limits of Decentralized Choice DESCRIPTION:The majority of U.S. public school districts now offer school choice programs that allocate seats using a centralized algorithm but with voluntary participation. The optional nature of public school choice segments public education and raises critical questions: who chooses\, who benefits\, and what policy alternatives can produce better outcomes for children? This paper provides new evidence on these questions by studying the Los Angeles Unified School District\, the largest opt-in system in the country. Analyzing two decades of lottery records\, we find that students living closer to choice options are both more likely to participate and to experience larger achievement gains. The proximity-based treatment effect heterogeneity is not explained by other observable treatment effect heterogeneity\, suggesting a potential role for unobserved demand-side factors. To assess the empirical relevance of this hypothesis\, we rely on quasi-experimental variation in distance to schools due to large expansions in choice programming and lottery-based admission lotteries to estimate a generalized Roy model that links families' decisions to apply and enroll to achievement gains. Our estimates indicate that the families least likely to apply under the current system would realize the largest test score benefits if they participated. In other words\, decentralized\, opt-in systems not only segment public education markets based on student ability and socioeconomic status but also exacerbate existing inequalities in educational outcomes. Policy interventions---such as targeted information interventions that cultivate broader participation or mandate participation as is done in cities such as New York---could produce sizable achievement benefits for school districts.

Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. Raised by Taiwanese parents in Nashville\, TN\, he left home during his teenage years and headed to Indiana\, where he obtained college degrees in literature and journalism. Lee launched his career as a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee\, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high-profile opening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell\, Los Lobos\, Molly Tuttle\, and other artists who\, like him\, blurred the lines between roots-rock\, country\, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all\, he drew upon the narrative skills he'd sharpened as a student. If albums like Honky-Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfolded like autobiographical entries from his road journal\, then Drink the River shows an even broader range of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn't just writing songs about himself\; he's writing songs about all of us. And maybe\, in doing so\, he can bring us a little closer together. \n\nKing Margo is a magnetic alt-country/Americana act based in Nashville\, TN. Their album “Waters Rise” is filled with what Saving Country Music proclaims as “interesting and curious textures throughout\, unique and unexpected approaches to songs\, and inspired songwriting graced by soaring performances.” The heart of the group is duo Lucciana Costa and Rachel Coats\, though they often bring their friends along for a full band experience. King Margo is a road-tested band through and through\, and they are known for putting on a high-energy show complimented by thoughtful songwriting.
