SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Modeling Biology on a Quantum Computer:  Deciphering the Mechanism of ATP Hydrolysis Using Quantum Hardware
DESCRIPTION:In-person: West Hall 411\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91050980639?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nThe ability to model biochemical reaction dynamics on quantum hardware would open the door\nto the virtually exact description of enzymatic catalysis\, accelerating the discovery of novel\ntherapeutics. However\, noisy hardware\, the costs of computing gradients\, and the number of\nqubits and gates required to simulate large systems present major challenges to realizing the\npotential of dynamical simulations using quantum hardware. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent\nefforts to model ATP hydrolysis\, a paradigmatic and clinically-important biochemical reaction\,\nusing quantum hardware. Key to our modeling is employing transfer learning to learn\napproximate force fields based on abundant data and then correcting those force fields using\ndata from quantum hardware. Using this technique and new embedding and downfolding\nmethods\, I will show how we can gain novel mechanistic insights into a variety of hydrolysis-\nrelated reactions and how these techniques can be adapted to other problems in biochemistry.\nThroughout this talk\, I will underscore the opportunities and challenges associated with using\nquantum hardware and how these can be addressed via the fruitful marriage of quantum\ncomputation and machine learning.\n\nBio:\nDr. Brenda Rubenstein is currently the Krieble Professor of Chemistry at Brown University. She\nwas named to Popular Science magazine’s 2021 Brilliant 10 list of the top early career scientists\nand C&amp\;EN’s 2019 Talented 12 list of early career chemists\, and has received a number of\nresearch and teaching honors including the Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award\, a Cottrell\nTeacher Scholar Award\, and a Sloan Research Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Scott Banta\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:B10 Auditorium \n\nBiotechnology for Critical Materials Production\n\nScott Banta\nProfessor and Chair of Chemical Engineering\nColumbia University\, New York\, NY\n\nScott Banta Ph.D. is Professor and Chair of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University.  He received his B.S.E. degree from the University of Maryland\, Baltimore County\, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Rutgers University.  He did a postdoctoral fellowship at the Shriners and Massachusetts General Hospitals and Harvard Medical School.  He began his faculty career in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University in 2004 and his research has focused on the engineering of proteins and peptides for various applications in areas including biocatalysis\, bioelectrocatalysis\, biomaterials\, gene and drug delivery\, biosensing\, and bioenergy. His group is also developing new biotechnology platforms for energy harvesting and conversion as well as metal and mineral processing.\n\n\nThe global transition towards electrification will require tremendous growth in the production of critical materials\, and biotechnology is providing new solutions to this grand challenge.  Metal oxidizing bacteria are critically important for the hydrometallurgical processing of copper\, gold\, and other sulfidic ores.  Approximately 20% of the world’s copper production involves microbial oxidation of minerals in the world’s largest bioreactors. We have pioneered the development of genetic tools for the engineering and application of the iron and sulfur oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic acidophile\, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. We gained new insights into their unique physiology and engineered them for new traits including accelerated growth\, enhanced bioleaching\, salt tolerance\, and critical material reclamation.  In addition to cells\, we are also invested in using biomolecular engineering to improve critical metal binding and separation.  We have recently developed new proteins for rare earth element and other critical material bioseparations under acidic conditions.  Throughout the talk I will highlight the substantial challenges and opportunities that come with the development of biotechnology solutions in this space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Yang Li
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGene expression evolution relies on regulatory mutations. Past studies suggested that optimizing gene expression by positive selection on cis-regulatory mutations is relatively easy because the corresponding adaptive landscapes are quite smooth. To what extent gene expression can be optimized via trans-regulatory mutations is\, however\, unknown. Analyzing the transcriptomes and proteomes of 16 yeast strains carrying all combinations of four auxotrophic mutations\, we respectively construct 5\,923 and 446 adaptive landscapes of mRNA and protein expressions where neighboring genotypes differ by a trans-regulatory mutation. We find that mRNA expression is less optimizable by trans-regulatory mutations than by cis-regulatory mutations due to a lower fraction of open adaptive paths via trans- than cis-changes\, which may partially explain why trans-regulatory changes are rarer than cis-regulatory changes in gene expression evolution. Interestingly\, the adaptive landscapes of protein expressions are substantially less rugged and thereby more navigable than those of mRNA expressions due to post-transcriptional buffering effects\, suggesting that\, for protein-coding genes\, the evolvability of gene expression is even higher than the current estimate from adaptive landscapes of mRNA expressions. This high evolvability may have contributed to the prominence of gene expression changes as a mechanism of evolutionary adaptation.\n\n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Implementing EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interface Access to Commercial Speech Generating Devices\nAbstract:\nBrain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have long been considered a promising option for people with complex communication needs.  However\, most BCIs remain in the laboratory and the few BCIs on the market are not integrated into the clinically useful augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices available from long-established companies.  With small business funding from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders\, Dr. Jane Huggins from the University of Michigan and Dr. Katya Hill from Gannon University have been working closely with an AAC device manufacturer to create wearable BCI access to an existing product line of speech generating devices.  These efforts have produced a BCI add-on accessory that can access the language features of the speech generating devices. Laboratory and in-home testing focused on realistic communication tasks shows the effectiveness of the BCI for real-world communication and challenges and areas for future improvements. \nBio:\nDr. Huggins has been active in brain-computer interface (BCI) research since 1994. Her dissertation research on electrocorticogram (ECoG) for BCI access to assistive technology resulted in the founding of the University of Michigan Direct Brain Interface Laboratory\, which she has led since 2007.  Dr. Huggins trained in computer engineering and biomedical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Michigan. She also completed a clinical rehabilitation engineering internship at the University of Michigan\, giving her a unique combination of skills for the development of BCI access to assistive technology and augmentative and alternative communication.  Her current focus is on making electroencephalogram (EEG)-based BCIs interfaces practical for people who need them. Ongoing research directions include interfacing BCIs to commercially available assistive technologies\, improving BCI response time and no-control performance\, identifying features and support necessary for successful independent BCI use by people with physical impairments\, identifying the design preferences and priorities of potential BCI users\, BCI applications in cognitive testing\, and the identification and accommodation of user-specific characteristics that affect BCI function. She is particularly interested in the often ignored topic of how BCIs can remain available for communication but unobtrusive during periods when the user is not actively trying to make selections. Dr. Huggins was a founding member of the board of directors of the Brain-Computer Interface Society and now serves on the BCI Society's Communications Committee. Outside the lab\, Dr. Huggins enjoys knitting\, genealogy\, birdwatching\, cooking for her husband\, and being Mom to her college-age children.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Surface and Atmospheric Biosignatures in the Era of the ELTs and HWO\"\n\nIndependent lines of evidence will be required to support the detection of life beyond Earth. Adding to current methods\, missions such as the Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) and the Habitable World Observatory (HWO) will observe terrestrial exoplanets in reflected light. In this talk\, I present the opportunity for surface and cloud biosignatures to act as complementary signatures of life to atmospheric biosignatures\, integrating laboratory spectroscopy\, field studies of extreme environments\, and reflectance spectrum modeling. I focus on how biological pigments\, microbial surface communities\, and atmospheric microorganisms change planetary albedos and observability. Using polar and high-altitude analog environments on Earth\, I explore how Earth’s biosignatures can help strengthen the interpretation of biosignature detections on a wider scale. This work provides a framework for incorporating surface and cloud biosignatures into reflected-light observations\, informing strategies for the ELTs\, HWO\, and other life-detection missions.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Sword and Scroll: Three Centuries of Chinese Martial Arts Fiction
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese literary genre of wuxia 武俠 (martial arts fiction) poses an enduring challenge for translators\, as no single English term captures the essence of the xiake 俠客 — the Chinese martial arts hero. The xiake is defined less by extraordinary physical power and more by a commitment to justice and individual freedom\, often prioritizing moral action over societal law and hierarchy. Rooted in ancient texts\, the moral codes and martial skills of the xiake have fascinated generations of readers. The genre remains the most widely read form of popular literature and has inspired contemporary Kung Fu films and xiuxian 修仙 (cultivation) novels.\n\nThis Third Thursday\, join the Asia Library staff to explore three centuries of the rich wuxia tradition\, from its flourishing in the mid-Qing dynasty to the 21st century. On display are representative literary works—both translations and Chinese originals—tracing the development of the genre\, alongside academic scholarship on its historical context\, narrative aesthetics\, and cultural impact. We would also like to share the legacy of these stories through adapted films\, DVDs\, and comic works that capture the collective memories of wuxia across generations of readers.\n\nThird Thursdays at the Library is a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of this month's Third Thursday locations — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The History of Psychedelics and Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the Michigan Psychedelic Center's 2026 Seminar Series: Psychedelics — From Cells to Society. Learn more about the series at https://michiganpsychedelic.med.umich.edu/education-events/. \n\nAbout the Talk:\nPsychedelic drugs now serve as instrumental tools in modern neuroscience for understanding the neural correlates and causes of consciousness. Often underappreciated is the vital role that psychedelics played in shaping the fundamental discoveries of monoamine neurotransmission during the mid-twentieth century. The profound psychoactive effects of mescaline and LSD sparked a paradigm shift in thinking that ultimately led to an evolution in our understanding of the biochemical basis of behavior and etiology of mental illness. \n\nThis talk will provide a historical exploration of the powerful influence that psychedelics had on prominent researchers whose work on monoamine neurotransmission revolutionized the way we think about the role of neurochemistry in behavior. In parallel\, we will examine the often-interwoven influence that psychedelics had on psychiatric researchers\, whose search for a psychedelic-like endogenous psychotogen in mental disorders like schizophrenia refocused the field from psychoanalytic explanations to explosive advances in psychopharmacology.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nNick Denomme\, PhD\, is a postdoctoral scholar studying the effects of psychedelics on cortical synaptic plasticity and dendritic integration with Drs. Robert Malenka and Boris Heifets at Stanford University. He received a PhD in pharmacology from the University of Michigan and has had a lifelong interest in psychoactive substances as powerful tools to understand how the brain generates the mind.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Ignatz Waghalter and the Negro Symphony Orchestra (1938-40)
DESCRIPTION:David Goldfarb\, independent scholar and host of \"Encounters with Polish and Ukrainian Literature\,\" a YouTube program sponsored by the Polish Cultural Institute in New York\, will give a talk coinciding with the Martin Luther King memorial holiday\, entitled \"Ignatz Waghalter and the Negro Symphony Orchestra (1938-40).\" This is a strange and fascinating story. The talk will take place in the Modern Languages Building\, Room 3308\, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM.\n\n\nAbout the Talk\nComposer William Grant Still published an essay in 1939\, “A Negro Symphony Orchestra\,” imagining the possibilities that could be opened by having an all-Black orchestra of national stature that would be an inspiration to Black youth “and to America as a whole\,” and would introduce new energy into classical music by involving musicians skilled in jazz. His dream was consonant with the ideas of W.E.B. DuBois\, who in “The Souls of Black Folk\,” argued that classical music played an essential political role in the “uplift” of the race\, and nineteenth-century educator James Monroe Trotter\, who saw classical music as a means of demonstrating the right of African Americans to participate in American democracy as “full-fledged citizens.”\nThere had been a number of African American orchestras by that time\, but just such an ensemble with international ambitions had formed in Harlem in 1938 and incorporated officially as “The Negro Symphony Orchestra\,” curiously under the baton of conductor and composer Ignatz Waghalter (1881-1949)\, who found himself in New York after fleeing Nazi Germany. Waghalter came from a Warsaw family of Jewish musicians\, klezmorim who played weddings and circuses. He had smuggled himself illegally into Germany as a teenager to study classical music and rose to prominence as the director of the Deutsches Opernhaus in Berlin from 1912-23. He also served as a visiting conductor for major institutions from the National Opera in Riga to the New York State Symphony. In New York he joined forces with leading figures in the Harlem Renaissance including James Weldon Johnson\, Judge James S. Watson\, orchestra manager Leviticus Lyon and conductor A. Jack Thomas to form “The Negro Symphony Orchestra.” Waghalter composed a choral work with lyrics by Judge Watson called “America\, Our Shining Light\,” addressing themes of bigotry\, racism\, anti-immigrant sentiment\, and the hope of America. When the orchestra collapsed after the outbreak of World War II\, Waghalter was working on a composition specifically for this orchestra\, called the “New World Suite.” This presentation will discuss what archives at Yale and in New York reveal about the orchestra and Waghalter’s collaboration with it.\n\nAbout David A. Goldfarb\nDavid A. Goldfarb is an independent scholar of Polish literature and literary theory\, and a literary translator from Polish to English. He produces and hosts the monthly video series “Encounters with Polish and Ukrainian Literature\,” supported by the Polish Cultural Institute New York\, now entering its sixth year\, and is a writer for a documentary film about Polish-Jewish composer Ignatz Waghalter and the Negro Symphony Orchestra in Harlem. His main current translation project is Agata Tuszyńska’s “The Black Handbag” and he has a residency from the Polish Book Institute to work on Tuszyńska’s novel about Bruno Schulz’s fiancée\, Józefina Szelińska\, in Warsaw this summer. From mid-2010 to the end of 2013\, he was Curator of Literature and Humanities Programming at the Polish Cultural Institute in New York\, a diplomatic mission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. Prior to that he was an Assistant Professor of Slavic Literatures and Comparative Literature at Barnard College\, Columbia University.\nHe holds a doctorate in Comparative Literature from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He has published articles on Bruno Schulz\, Zbigniew Herbert\, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz\, Mikhail Lermontov\, and East European cinema in such journals as “East European Politics and Societies\,” “Indiana Slavic Studies\,” “Philosophy and Literature\,” “Prooftexts\,” “The Polish Review\,” “Slavic and East European Performance\,” and “Jewish Quarterly\,” and he has published book chapters on Jozef Wittlin\, Witold Gombrowicz\, and Nikolai Gogol and Giuseppe Arcimboldo. He has written the introduction and notes for Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilych” and “Other Stories” and Turgenev’s “Fathers and Sons” for the Barnes and Noble Classics series\, and for the Penguin Classics edition of “The Street of Crocodiles and Other Stories” by Bruno Schulz.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: This lecture explores the question of Black political activism and racial representation in Brazilian politics. In the last 40 years\, affirmative action\, racial inequality\, and racial discrimination have entered the national political agenda. Black activists have long demanded specific policies to improve the social\, economic\, and political situation of Afro-Brazilians. The implementation of affirmative action policies in higher education has emphasized the significance of race\, class\, and social inclusion. Black politicians and leaders are often the most committed defenders of affirmative action and pro-racial equality policies. This lecture will focus on leading Black activists and organizations and their demands for social change. Afro-Brazilians are dramatically underrepresented among Brazil’s political elite. This presentation will also examine the degree to which Black elected and appointed officials prioritize Afro-Brazilians in their work. Which political parties and states of the country have produced more Afro-Brazilian government officials? Workers’ Party/PT presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rouseff have appointed more Black cabinet members than other presidents. Despite advances in racial representation\, Afro-Brazilians remain in a fragile socio-economic and political situation. Their concerns and welfare are not top priorities for Brazil’s most powerful and influential leaders.\n\nBIOGRAPHY: Dr. Ollie Johnson is a scholar of Black political experiences across the Americas. He is a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Wayne State University\, where he has taught courses such as Black Social and Political Thought and Pan Africanism: Politics of the Black Diaspora. His primary fields of inquiry are African American\, Afro-Brazilian\, and Afro-Latin American politics\, with particular expertise in Black political activism\, representation\, and the transnational dimensions of Black political movements. Dr. Johnson received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California at Berkeley\, an M.A. in Political Science from UC Berkeley\, an M.A. in Brazilian Studies from Brown University\, and a B.A. in Afro-American Studies and International Relations from Brown University. His research is published in numerous journal articles and book chapters\, as well as in his authored and edited books\, including Brazilian Party Politics and the Coup of 1964 (2001)\, Black Political\n\nTo attend this lecture via Zoom webinar\, visit https://umich.zoom.us/j/92980196679

SUMMARY:Performance:Denitia
DESCRIPTION:“Fusing elements of country\, folk and rock\, Denitia establishes a newfound American utopia” –NPR\n\nOn her new album\, Sunset Drive\, Denitia shares her story of going after something new — a life back in Nashville\, where she attended college\, immersed in both the city’s roots music scene and the community of the artist collective Black Opry — while experiencing the menagerie of emotions that come with leaving behind what you knew and starting over. Across the album\, she draws from the country and alternative rock music she listened to growing up outside of Houston\; the songs of artists such as the Eagles\, Vince Gill\, Waylon Jennings\, Joni Mitchell\, Dolly Parton\, and Neil Young\, ever present in her life\; and the decade she spent entrenched in Brooklyn’s indie music scene. \n\nDenitia’s music has been featured in the films Nanny and The Invitation\, as well as in the series Better Things (FX)\, Broad City (Comedy Central)\, Dear White People (Netflix)\, Shrinking (Apple TV+)\, and The Terminal List (Amazon). She has toured extensively with the Black Opry Revue\; been invited to perform at the National Museum of African American Music and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville\; and shared stages with Jason Isbell\, Amythyst Kiah\, Joy Oladokun\, and Allison Russell\, among other artists. \n\nIn 2023\, Denitia earned one of five spots in a residency hosted by the Black Opry and WXPN\, was named to Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country class\, and was one of three artists selected for CMT and mtheory’s Equal Access cohort. And the momentum continued in 2024: Denitia was one of CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country\; was named an artist to watch by the Nashville Scene\; made her Grand Ole Opry debut and opened shows for Mickey Guyton in 2024. Denitia was a featured vocalist in Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Jian Kang\, Professor & Associate Chair for Research\, Biostatistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Deep generative models\, such as Variational Autoencoders (VAE) and diffusion probabilistic models\, have transformed high-dimensional data modeling. However\, these approaches often rely on variational approximations or computationally intensive ordinary differential equation (ODE) solvers\, trading exact Bayesian inference for scalability. In this talk\, I present the Bayesian Deep Noise Neural Network (B-DeepNoise)\, a framework originally developed for density regression that possesses inherent yet under-explored generative capabilities. Unlike standard Bayesian neural networks that place priors only on network weights\, the B-DeepNoise framework injects stochastic noise into every hidden layer of a deep architecture. We show that this construction is mathematically equivalent to a deep hierarchical latent variable model\, yielding rich conditional distributions through layer-wise noise propagation. By exploiting piecewise-linear activation functions\, specifically ReLU function\, we derive a closed-form Gibbs sampling algorithm that enables asymptotically exact posterior inference\, avoiding the approximation errors commonly associated with variational methods. I will demonstrate how this framework unifies three closely related tasks: (1) uncertainty quantification in regression\, (2) density regression for complex conditional distributions\, and (3) extensions to generative modeling\, where layer-wise noise injection enables flexible sample generation and data imputation. These results bridge flexible deep learning architectures with rigorous Bayesian inference and computational statistics\, providing a principled approach to density learning and generative modeling.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Beyond “better tech”: Why the bow spread (or didn’t) in North America
DESCRIPTION:The adoption and spread of bow and arrow technology in North America reflects a complex interplay of ecological and social factors: While environmental variables such as wood availability and prey diversity / behavior were surely important\, demographic and cultural variables were equally or more influential. Parsing the relative effects of these factors and understanding interactions among them requires a clear view of the timing and nature of bow use across North America’s diverse geography. This talk explores adoption of the bow in North America from two perspectives. First\, I’ll present evidence for the bow’s earliest appearance\, use in conjunction with other projectile technologies\, and effects on economic and other systems in several North American ecoregions. Second\, I'll present a novel model of technological investment (uptake) that considers effects of people’s social roles: Whether people are craft specialists or do-it-yourselfer tool producers–users affects rates of adoption. This hypothesis has global-scale implications\, which I’ll demonstrate through regional case studies. I’ll argue that adoption depended not just on the bow's inherent utility but also on how the technology was produced\, shared\, used\, and valued in different economic systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Determinants of Norm Compliance: Moral Similarity and Group Identification
DESCRIPTION:What determines whether someone complies with a social norm? The social identity approach offers a mechanism for norm compliance: a person who feels similar to a group identifies more with that group and\, in turn\, complies with the group’s norms. Using an experiment\, we test whether similarity in values increases identification and adherence to a group rule. To do so\, we varied the similarity/dissimilarity between the values of an individual and members of a social group and measured group identification and rule compliance. We find that similarity in values increased group identification\, and group identification increased rule compliance. We show that this behavior change was due to increased group norm sensitivity rather than changes in norms to follow rules when they come from similar or dissimilar groups. We advance the study of social identity by establishing a causal pathway between group identification and behavior change. We also contribute to the management literature by showing that aligning organizational values with those of the workforce is a viable and implementable mechanism for increasing policy and guideline adherence.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Exterior Cyclic Polytopes and Convexity of Amplituhedra (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:We introduce a new polytope called the exterior cyclic polytope. Our motivation comes from particle physics\, and in particular from a semialgebraic set called the amplituhedron which lives in a Grassmannian Gr(k\, r) and appears in calculations of particle scattering. \n\nThe exterior cyclic polytope is defined as the convex hull of the amplituhedron in the ambient Plücker space of Gr(k\, r). We describe its face structure and facets\, which in the case k=2 are controlled by a matroid called the hyperconnectivity matroid. Furthermore\, we describe the dual of the k=2 and r=4 polytope in terms of the twist map of Marsh and Scott\, and use this to define a notion of dual amplituhedron. This is joint work with Elia Mazzucchelli.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Metric lines in Carnot groups
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Among nilpotent Lie groups\, Carnot groups form a particularly important subclass\, with the Heisenberg group being the most well-known example. Carnot groups admit a sub-Riemannian structure. Thus\, to broaden the context\, a sub-Riemannian geodesic is a local arc-length-minimizing curve. A natural question is: What are the conditions for a geodesic to be a global minimizer? A curve is called a metric line if it is a globally minimizing geodesic\; an alternative term is “an isometric embedding of the real line.” The talk is devoted to presenting the results and ideas that inspired me to formulate a conjecture classifying metric lines in Carnot groups\, as well as the results obtained in this direction. \n\nContact:  AIM Seminar Organizers

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Beyond Documentary Art: Russian Poetry and Radical Regimes of Truth
DESCRIPTION:In the contemporary era of post-truth politics\, documentary art forms that seek to redefine the meaning and authority of truth have acquired renewed significance. This lecture examines the development of documentary poetry in Russian literature.\n\nIn the 2000s and 2010s\, Russian poetry saw an intensive turn toward documentary forms based on interviews with real people\, court records\, media quotations\, and historical documents. Such poetry has typically adopted a pronounced anti-totalitarian stance\, aiming to expose the narratives of Kremlin propaganda as well as entrenched clichés of public consciousness. A comparable surge of interest in documentary and reportage-based writing occurred in the 1920s\, when left-wing writers after the Bolshevik Revolution—including Vladimir Mayakovsky and Nikolai Aseev—sought to record society’s movement toward communism through what was known as the “literature of fact.” At the same time\, unofficial poets\, excluded from publication\, depicted the darker dimensions of Soviet life and human experience.\nThis lecture argues that contemporary documentary poetry is genealogically closer not to Soviet “literature of fact\,” but to the unofficial poetic traditions of the Soviet era. It also proposes a new theoretical framework for understanding documentary poetry as a form that resists stable definition. This framework draws on Michel Foucault’s concept of “regimes of truth” and rethinks documentary poetry as a site where competing truth claims are produced\, contested\, and revisited.

The university holds one of the most extensive collections of uterine amulets in the world\, and a diverse selection are highlighted in the exhibit Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World (https://events.umich.edu/event/142417).\n\nFreidin's expertise centers around gender\, daily life\, and science and medicine in the Roman empire. Her 2024 monograph\, \"Birthing Romans: Childbearing and Its Risks in Imperial Rome\,\" examines how pregnancy and childbirth were understood\, experienced\, and managed in ancient Rome during the first three centuries of the Common Era. Materiality and the multisensory are key features of her dynamic and innovative scholarship.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | High Frequency Gravitational Waves & Strings
DESCRIPTION:High frequency gravitational waves are likely to become an important observable in cosmology and high energy physics. \nAfter briefly discussing the stochastic gravitational wave background predicted by  the standard model of particle physics (and cosmology)\,\nI will discuss the high frequency gravitational waves from an early  universe in a hagedorn phase. Related aspects of string thermodynamics and flux compactification will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: William Guenthner
DESCRIPTION:Zircon (U-Th)/He (ZHe) thermochronology has been extensively used to study the timing and rates of cooling associated with rock exhumation in active orogenic belts\, sedimentary basin evolution\, and hydrothermal fluid migration. More recently\, the ZHe thermochronometer has been used\, at times in concert with other low- to medium-temperature systems\, in Precambrian rocks to resolve “deep-time” thermal histories that span billions of years and provide insights into mid- to upper-crustal geological processes occurring at temperatures below 350 °C. Most prominently\, this deep-time approach has been used to investigate the erosional origin of the Great Unconformity surface\, a continent-scale nonconformity that separates lowermost Paleozoic strata from underlying Precambrian basement. However\, to continue extracting useful deep-time thermochronologic information with the ZHe method requires a more robust understanding of the kinetics of 4He diffusion in zircon. In this talk\, I will present results from a study of the deep-time thermal history of basement rocks in the US Upper Midwest cratonic interior. Here\, we have further investigated the origin of the Great Unconformity surface\, and the long-term (in)stability of the Laurentian craton. I will also show ongoing work to improve our understanding of the kinetics of the ZHe system with a multiple pathway approach to modeling 4He diffusion in zircon.

SUMMARY:Performance:Martha Graham Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:The Martha Graham Dance Company celebrates its 100th anniversary season with three unique programs.\n\nMartha Graham is recognized as a primal artistic force of the 20th century\, alongside Pablo Picasso\, Virginia Woolf\, Igor Stravinsky\, and Frank Lloyd Wright. She radically expanded the dance vocabulary\, rooting it in social\, psychological\, and sexual ideas\, and forever altering the art form. Her company\, celebrating its 100th season since its 1926 beginnings in a small studio at Carnegie Hall\, exemplifies its founder’s timeless and uniquely American style of dance.\n\nIn addition to her astonishing and groundbreaking choreography\, Graham was known for her collaborations with visual artists whose set designs took her works to a completely different level. For these three different performances\, the company will bring some of its original sets by the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi\, who partnered with Graham in over 20 works including Appalachian Spring and Cave of the Heart. Together\, their choreography and set design captured the complexity of the uniquely American experience.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

SUMMARY:Performance:Django Reinhardt Birthday Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The third annual event!\n\nJoin Djangophonique and special guest Harmonious Wail for the third annual Ann Arbor Django Reinhardt festival as we celebrate the legacy of his music as it evolves.\n\nDjangophonique is an award winning band led by guitar player Andrew Brown. With over a decade of national touring experience\, Brown is no stranger to the stage and delivers every performance with personality and enigmatic charm. A true disciple of the style\, Brown has spent countless hours immersing himself in the language of Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche\, and he’s joined on stage by bandmates that match his skill and passion for the material. The core group includes Tyler Rindo on clarinet\, Nick Martin on rhythm guitar\, and Jorian Olk-Szost on upright bass. In 2023\, Djangophonique began collaborating with vocalist Katie Smith\, whose playful charm and soulful delivery channel the mystery and appeal of an unplaceable era of aching and entrancing nostalgia. Djangophonique\, having already achieved the tricky feat of bringing an instrumental style of music to large stages and events\, is excited to reach even broader audiences\, bridge generational gaps\, and find greater musical heights and depths with the addition of Katie's effortlessly light yet deeply expressive voice. The result is a sound that’s unmistakable to fans of the music\, and alluring to the uninitiated—a sound that can bring the lively energy of a parisian dance hall to the quietest listening room or captivate a buzzing festival audience with a shimmering ballad. With respect for the tradition and a fearless creativity that bends the conventions of the style\, Djangophonique is keeping the Hot Club revival alive and well.\n\nHarmonious Wail hosts the wildly crazy and successful Midwest Gypsy Swing Fest held twice a year in Madison\, Wisconsin\, and is super pleased\, geeked and excited to be part of the Ann Arbor Django Reinhardt Festival and to share the stage with Djangophonique! Harmonious Wail is\;\nMaggie Delaney-Potthoff - vocalist extraordinaire and cardboard box virtuoso\, Sims Delaney-Potthoff - award-winning mandolinist and tenor guitarist from the Jethro Burns school of Django on the mandolin\, Scott Hlavenka - gypsy jazz guitar wizard from Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, and Tom Knific - internationally famous and in demand bassist.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Performance:Martha Graham Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:The Martha Graham Dance Company celebrates its 100th anniversary season with three unique programs.\n\nMartha Graham is recognized as a primal artistic force of the 20th century\, alongside Pablo Picasso\, Virginia Woolf\, Igor Stravinsky\, and Frank Lloyd Wright. She radically expanded the dance vocabulary\, rooting it in social\, psychological\, and sexual ideas\, and forever altering the art form. Her company\, celebrating its 100th season since its 1926 beginnings in a small studio at Carnegie Hall\, exemplifies its founder’s timeless and uniquely American style of dance.\n\nIn addition to her astonishing and groundbreaking choreography\, Graham was known for her collaborations with visual artists whose set designs took her works to a completely different level. For these three different performances\, the company will bring some of its original sets by the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi\, who partnered with Graham in over 20 works including Appalachian Spring and Cave of the Heart. Together\, their choreography and set design captured the complexity of the uniquely American experience.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

SUMMARY:Performance:Heywood Banks
DESCRIPTION:Musician\, poet\, comedian\, icon\n\nHeywood Banks is simply one of a kind\, almost impossible to describe\, with a style his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon\, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon\, with a show that appeals to college students\, stoners\, businessmen\, yuppies\, rednecks\, punks\, kids or your grandmother. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted\, inventive\, bizarre songs\, sung and played in a variety of styles\, from folk\, to country to rock to pop\, and way beyond. You have to be pretty sharp to get Heywood at his deepest level (he demands a high level of pop culture literacy)\, but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations\, expert musicianship and just plain silliness. Heywood has appeared on A&E’s Evening at the Improv\, MTV’s 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour\, CNN’s Hollywood Minute\, Caroline’s Comedy Hour\, Entertainment Tonight\, Showtime Comedy Club Network\, and the Dr. Demento Show\,” and is a frequent guest on the national Bob and Tom radio show.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Aristo Sham Piano Master Class
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Aristo Sham\, winner of the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition\, will present a guest artist master class for talented piano students from the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance. Presented in association with the Ann Arbor Symphony.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nPianist ARISTO SHAM exudes astounding intellect and a deep emotional resonance\; a cultivated sophistication and an immediately engaging presence\; a penchant to take on the great monuments of the piano repertoire and a natural\, infectious spontaneity. This makeup is fueled by a fascination with the world and its rich cultures: he was an international prodigy\, is a voracious student of wide-ranging interests\, and currently splits his time between three continents. \n\nAt the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition\, Aristo found his breakthrough moment\, taking home both the gold medal and the audience award. And the critics showered him with imaginative praise\, calling him “a marvel of deft characterization\,” “consistently authoritative\,” “a card-carrying risk taker\,” “a dapper\, aristocratic figure on stage\,” “a pianist I look forward to hearing again” (*The Dallas Morning News*\, *Gramophone*\, *Texas Classical Voice*). In just two months’ time\, he was mentioned in more than 800 news articles\, and his Cliburn performance videos were streamed 2 million times across 125 countries.\n\nAristo was featured in the 2009 documentary *The World’s Greatest Musical Prodigies* on Channel 4 (UK)\, has performed for royalty including King Charles\, and was hailed by The New York Times in 2020 as an artist “whose playing combines clarity\, elegance and abundant technique.” He has concertized across Asia\, Europe\, and the United States\, with major highlights including the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle\, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra under Edo de Waart\, English Chamber Orchestra under the late Sir Raymond Leppard\, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne\, and Minnesota Orchestra. His 2025–2026 debut season as Cliburn winner includes a major tour of Asia through South Korea and China\, and U.S. recitals for Aspen Music Festival\, La Jolla Music Society/The Conrad\, UCSB Arts and Lectures\, and the Skyline Piano Artist Series at Northwestern University.\n\nRecently\, he recorded and hosted the complete Brahms solo piano music on RTHK4\, Classical Radio in Hong Kong. Upcoming seasons will see the release of two albums on Platoon: a Cliburn live release\, as well as his debut studio album.\n\nAristo Sham’s mother taught piano in their Hong Kong home\, so he says: “I was enveloped in the environment of the piano even before I was born.” His parents recall his immense curiosity towards the instrument when he was a toddler and started him in lessons when he was 3. At the age of 10\, he began competing and concertizing. But he also went to regular schools\, never making the conscious decision to focus solely on the piano or his other studies\; this made the dual degree program at Harvard and the New England Conservatory a perfect fit when he went to college. He finished his Bachelor of Arts at Harvard in 2019 and master’s at NEC under Victor Rosenbaum in 2020. He then went to the Ingesund School of Music in Sweden to study with Julia Mustonen-Dahlkvist before returning to the States to earn an artist diploma at The Juilliard School with Robert McDonald and Orli Shaham. In addition to the Cliburn\, he’s a laureate of international competitions\, with first-prize wins at Young Concert Artists\, Ettlingen\, Gina Bachauer\, and Monte Carlo Music Masters.

SUMMARY:Performance:Martha Graham Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:The Martha Graham Dance Company celebrates its 100th anniversary season with three unique programs.\n\nMartha Graham is recognized as a primal artistic force of the 20th century\, alongside Pablo Picasso\, Virginia Woolf\, Igor Stravinsky\, and Frank Lloyd Wright. She radically expanded the dance vocabulary\, rooting it in social\, psychological\, and sexual ideas\, and forever altering the art form. Her company\, celebrating its 100th season since its 1926 beginnings in a small studio at Carnegie Hall\, exemplifies its founder’s timeless and uniquely American style of dance.\n\nIn addition to her astonishing and groundbreaking choreography\, Graham was known for her collaborations with visual artists whose set designs took her works to a completely different level. For these three different performances\, the company will bring some of its original sets by the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi\, who partnered with Graham in over 20 works including Appalachian Spring and Cave of the Heart. Together\, their choreography and set design captured the complexity of the uniquely American experience.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brian Jones: Black History Is For Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Brian Jones\, senior director of reading and engagement at the New York Public Library\, talks about how the study of Black history challenges our understanding of race\, nation\, and the stories we tell about who we are. Attend in person or via Zoom (https://myumi.ch/Z2Edd).\n\nIn his 2025 book \"Black History Is for Everyone\,\" Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history\, using his own experiences as a lifelong learner and classroom teacher to question everything—from the radicalism of the American Revolution to the meaning of “race” and “nation.” With warmth and immersive storytelling\, Jones encourages us to delve deeper into our collective history\, explores how curiosity about our world is essential—and reminds us that with stakes so high\, the effort is worth it.\n\nWe're thrilled to welcome Brian Jones to campus as he challenges our assumptions and gives us glimpses of alternate futures.\n\nThis event is sponsored by U-M Library\, the Rackham Graduate School\, Michigan Housing\, the Bentley Historical Library\, and the School of Information as part of the annual U-M Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium (https://oami.umich.edu/mlk-symposium/).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Extending the Legacy: Innovations of the 25-Year Follow-up of the National Survey of American Life
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, Dr. James Jackson launched the National Survey of American Life (NSAL)\, the first nationally-representative health survey of Black Americans ever conducted. The goals of the NSAL were to examine how factors like stress\, coping\, early-life experiences\, and cultural beliefs relate to mental health and psychiatric disorders within the Black population. Twenty-five years later\, the NSAL remains unparalleled in terms of its characterization of heterogeneity in psychological\, social\, behavioral and environmental factors within the Black population. In 2026\, we are now planning to reinterview this singular cohort to understand pathways of risk and resilience between psychosocial factors and dementia. To be successful\, this 25-year followup will need to be pioneering in the spirit of the original NSAL effort. This presentation will summarize the survey methodological innovations of the original NSAL and describe the new approaches we are applying in this follow-up effort. Collectively\, this program will demonstrate how foundational principles of interdisciplinary collaboration\, team science\, relationships\, and resiliency are essential in today’s efforts to conduct social science in the public interest.\n\nThis is a hybrid event at the Institute for Social Research with a live stream option available at https://myumi.ch/Nr4mW

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium - Matrices\, Moments\, and Quadrature
DESCRIPTION:Title: Matrices\, Moments\, and Quadrature\nMore than a hundred years ago\, Chebyshev posed the following problem: \"Given the length\, weight\, position of mass centre and moment of inertia of a material straight line with an unknown density... find the narrowest possible limits for the weight of any segment of the line.\" This is one of the earliest examples of a moment problem\, the task of obtaining information about a measure from some sequence of its moments. In this talk\, we will explore the classical moment problems of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and how they laid the groundwork for the modern computational techniques in numerical analysis and numerical linear algebra.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Woll Family Speaker Series Presents:  Dr. Ryan Antiel as Guest Speaker
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS EVENT: \nWhile the late medical sociologist Charles Bosk rightly observed that residency was fundamentally “a moral education\,” modern graduate medical training has too often narrowed its focus to efficiency\, throughput and technical mastery. But without deliberate attention to the moral formation of trainees\, how can we hope to cultivate clinicians whose professional identity can withstand the environmental hazards of commercialized medicine? Dr. Ryan Antiel confronts this question head-on. In this talk\, he explores why virtue\, character and the habits of moral perception are essential — not optional — in shaping physicians who can care wisely and humanely for the most vulnerable. \n\nDr. Antiel will present one such effort underway at Duke University: The Good Surgeon. Drawing on strategies from the Oxford Leadership Initiative\, this project seeks to counter professional corrosion by forming a parallel community rooted in friendship\, mutual accountability and honest inquiry. Within this space\, difficult questions are raised\, new practices are tested and the seeds of durable professional identity are cultivated. It is an experiment in rebuilding moral architecture from the inside out. \n \nDr. Antiel is a pediatric surgeon and medical ethicist at Duke University\, where he serves on the faculty of the Trent Center for Bioethics\, Humanities & History of Medicine. His research combines empirical approaches from the fields of epidemiology\, decision-making sciences and child outcomes with conceptual work grounded in moral philosophy and theology. He applies these approaches to address ethical challenges surrounding the care of seriously ill fetuses and neonates.  He is also interested in how surgical residency shapes the character of surgeons-in-training and how best to form the virtues of character necessary for good surgical practice. \n \nYou can check out his work in leading medical journals like JAMA Surgery and NEJM. We are excited to hear his thoughts on cultivating moral resilience and professional integrity in modern medicine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Nodal statistics of graphs and matrices
DESCRIPTION:The study of discrete nodal statistics\, that is\, data regarding the zeros of Laplacian eigenvectors\, provides insight into structural properties of graphs and matrices\, and draws strong parallels with classical results in analysis for Laplacian eigenfunctions. In this talk\, we will give an overview of the field\, covering key results on nodal domains and nodal counts for graphs and their connection to known results and open problems in the continuous setting. In addition\, we will discuss some recent progress towards a more complete understanding of the extremal properties of the nodal statistics of a matrix.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:DEPORTATION NATION: Chronicling Our Current Chapter in America's Long History of Exclusion
DESCRIPTION:The Trump administration’s deportation campaign is having a major impact on American institutions\, from local governments and businesses to churches and schools\, and has helped to cement immigration enforcement as one of the key civil rights issues of our time. But the system through which these mass deportations are being carried out has been in place for decades\, and many of the issues drawing headlines — from overcrowded detention centers\, to family separations\, and deportations without due process — are nothing new. In this conversation\, Dickerson will debunk common misconceptions about how the American immigration system works and how it doesn’t. She will also discuss the United States’ complex history with immigrants\, which includes a deeply ingrained\, race-based fear that\, for centuries\, has been directed toward virtually every group of American immigrants\, fuelling moments of intense backlash like the one we are in now.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nCaitlin Dickerson has been a staff writer at The Atlantic since 2021. In 2023\, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting and the Livingston Award for National Reporting for “We Need to Take Away Children\,” an indepth examination of the U.S. government’s child separation policy during the first Trump adminstation. Before joining The Atlantic\, Dickerson spent five years as a reporter for The New York Times\, and five years as a producer and reporter for NPR. Her investigative reporting and long-form feature writing have also been recognized with a Peabody\, an Edward R. Murrow award\, and two National Association of Black Journalists Salute to Excellence awards.\n\nAbout the moderator:\nLynette Clemetson is the Charles R. Eisendrath Director of Wallace House Center for Journalists\, home of the Knight-Wallace Fellowships for Journalists and the Livingston Awards for Young Journalists at the University of Michigan.\n\nReception follwoing dicussion.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:MLK Day Film Screening: Afro.Deutschland (2017)
DESCRIPTION:In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day\, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures invites the University of Michigan community to a screening of Afro.Deutschland (2017)\, a documentary that explores Black German experiences of identity\, belonging\, and resilience across history.\n\nThrough powerful personal narratives\, the film highlights stories of exclusion and racism alongside accounts of empowerment and achievement. Featuring voices ranging from Nazi-era survivor Theodor Wonja Michael to contemporary figures such as rapper Samy Deluxe\, Afro.Deutschland interrogates the persistent question “Where are you from?” and examines Germany’s colonial past and its ongoing impact on identity. These experiences resonate with the struggles of Black Americans and echo the civil rights legacy that Martin Luther King Jr. worked to bring to the forefront of American consciousness.\n\nThe screening offers an opportunity for reflection on global Black histories and the transnational dimensions of civil rights\, race\, and belonging.\n\nEvent Details\nDate: Tuesday\, January 20\, 2026\nTime: 5:00–6:30 PM\nLocation: North Quad 2435\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: Overview of the lattice of torsion classes
DESCRIPTION:A torsion class is a collection of modules for an algebra that is closed under quotients and extensions. It turns out that many combinatorial objects can be realized as torsion classes for certain algebras\, and the containment order on torsion classes recovers interesting partial orders on those objects. We will give a brief introduction to several examples\, including the Tamari lattice\, the weak order\, and the oriented exchange graph of a cluster algebra. We will also outline the schedule for the first half of the semester.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: Character sheaves for unipotent groups & easy algebraic groups
DESCRIPTION:An algebraic group is called \"easy\" if every geometric point is contained in the neutral connected component of its centralizer. In 2006\, Boyarchenko and Drinfeld conjectured that a unipotent group is easy if and only if its L-packets of character sheaves are singletons. In 2013\, Boyarchenko proved the \"only if\" direction. In this talk\, we sketch a proof of the converse. Along the way\, we give a characterization of easy algebraic groups via their Asai twisting operators. No prior knowledge of character sheaves is assumed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Riemann's Existence Theorem
DESCRIPTION:If you search for statements of Riemann’s Existence Theorem\, you will find many seemingly different statements which all might deserve their own name. These statements\, which go under the name RET\, range from the existence of nonconstant meromorphic functions on compact Riemann surfaces to the classification of finite branched covers via fundamental group monodromy. Also related is the fact that all compact Riemann surfaces are algebraic. In this talk\, I will explain how these different concepts are closely related (while using as little analysis as possible).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Breaking Newton’s Law: Using Dusty Plasma to Investigate Anisotropic Forces
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe stability of structures and transport of energy are affected by the forces acting between elements in the system. We are used to thinking of forces in terms of Newton’s third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. However\, there are some systems where the forces appear to be non-reciprocal\; the objects exert different forces on each other. Such an interaction is possible when the interaction is anisotropic. In this case\, the force between two particles depends on their relative orientation. Anisotropic interactions are known to arise in some of the most interesting complex systems\, including proteins\, electrorheological (ER) fluids\, and liquid crystals. Here\, we study anisotropic interactions in a complex\, or dusty\, plasma. We use numerical models of the interactions between ions and dust to learn the form of the anisotropic interaction potential. We can then use this potential to model the dynamics of interacting dust particles without modeling the ions. We compare the results of our models to experimental data collected in laboratory experiments conducted here on earth and on the International Space Station.\nThis work was supported by the US Department of Energy\, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (DE-SC0024681) and National Science Foundation (PHY-2308742\, PHY-2308743).\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nLorin Swint Matthews is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Baylor University and Associate Director of the Center for Astrophysics\, Space Physics\, and Engineering Research. She received her Ph.D. in Physics from Baylor University in 1998. She worked for Raytheon Aircraft Integration Systems from 1998-2000 as a multi-disciplined engineer in the Flight Sciences Department\, where she worked on NASA’s SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) aircraft. In 2000\, she joined the faculty at Baylor University. Her areas of research include numerical modeling and experimental investigations of the charging and dynamics of dust in astrophysical and laboratory plasma environments\, for which she received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2009. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.\n\nThis seminar is free and open to the public. It will be conducted in person and on Zoom\, please check MIPSE website for details: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2526.php

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: D-affinity of flag varieties in positive characteristic
DESCRIPTION:A smooth projective variety X is called D-affine if every left D-module is globally generated over D (the sheaf of differential operators) and has vanishing higher cohomology. A well known result of Beilinson-Bernstein asserts that over the field of complex numbers flag varieties of semi-simple algebraic groups are D-affine. So far\, Flag varieties are the only known examples of smooth projective D-affine varieties. Moreover\, Kashiwara-Lauritzen showed that over fields of positive characteristic the grassmannian Gr(2\,5) is not D-affine and the classification of D-affine flag varieties remains an open problem.\n\nIn the first part of the talk\, I will briefly recall the basics of D-affine varieties. Then\, I will survey both the problem of classification of D-affine varieties over fields of arbitrary characteristic and the problem of classification of D-affine flag varieties in positive characteristic.  Finally\, I will present my recent result: Over a field of positive characteristic the smooth even-dimensional quadric hypersurface of dimension at least four is not D-affine. This result implies that various other flag varieties fail to be D-affine and refines a previous result of A. Langer who showed that odd-dimensional quadrics are D-affine if the characteristic of the base field is sufficiently large.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAS Book Talk. Between Armenian(s): A Conversation with Arakel Minassian
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the re-launch of our graduate student Arakel Minassian’s co-written book *Sahmanakhagh(kht): Hayerenn u hayerēně [Border-play: The Armenian and the Armenian]*. In this book\, Arakel and Armenia-based writer Anahit Ghazaryan narrate a moment in time that found Arakel navigating life in Armenia as a Lebanese-Armenian diasporan from Canada. Written as a set of correspondences between Arakel and Anahit on topics ranging from everyday interactions to specific musings on language and dialect\, the book also narrates a meeting between the two major standards of Armenian – Arakel’s Western Armenian\, the standard of much of the post-genocide Armenian diaspora\, and Anahit’s Eastern Armenian\, the standard of the post-Soviet Armenian Republic. Written in their respective dialects (and their different orthographies)\, Anahit and Arakel’s dialogue illustrates the growing and complicated interactions between these two standards at the same time as it stages a discussion on diaspora\, home\, and the various meanings of Armenianness in the present-day. First published in Yerevan in 2022 with a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation\, *Sahmanakhagh(kht)* is now in its second printing. This event will feature a discussion with Arakel Minassian in English\, as well as readings in both Armenian and English translation. Books will be available for purchase.\n   \n   Arakel Minassian is a PhD student in the University of Michigan’s Department of Comparative Literature. His research focuses on 20th century Armenian literature and how writers creatively and differently engage Armenian and non-Armenian traditions across locales as diverse as Istanbul\, Paris\, and Soviet Yerevan. Looking at nodes like multilingualism\, diaspora\, and world literature\, he tries to find novel ways of reading 20th century Armenian literary history. Arakel has also published several translations from Armenian\, including Zabel Yesayan’s 1918 book *The Agony of a People *and Yeghishe Charents’ 1920 poem *Vision of Death*\, among other works.\n   \n   Webinar ID\n   924 1095 7575\n   https://umich.zoom.us/j/92410957575\n   \nCosponsor: National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Annual Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture | Still Struggling to Cross That Bridge: Connecting the US and African Civil Rights Movements
DESCRIPTION:Hala Al-Karib is the Regional Director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) and is the Donia Human Rights Center’s inaugural Raoul Wallenberg Human Rights Practitioner Fellow.  In her lecture\, Ms. Al-Karib will reflect on her experiences advocating for human rights in the African context and how it mirrors the fight for civil rights in the United States.\n\n\"I grew up in the diminishing shadows of the African liberation movements. My childhood recollections were filled with long political debates among my parents\, their friends\, older cousins\, and uncles about memories of leaders like Biko of South Africa\, Senghor of Senegal\, Nkrumah of Ghana\, Nyerere of Tanzania\, Nasser of Egypt\, and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo. Naturally\, this history has shaped my political consciousness.\n\nLater in my life\, I discovered that at the same time\, another liberation movement was unfolding across the Atlantic\, where young men and women of African descent were challenging a system that disregarded their humanity\; they also vigorously strived for equality\, justice\, and human rights. In this conversation I am going to have with you\, I will seek to illustrate how the quest for liberation and decolonization in Africa parallels the civil rights movement in America\; both movements are reflecting our extended struggle to cross over that bridge towards a peaceful and just society.\"\n\nCommentator\n\nCarina Ray\nA.M. and H.P. Bentley Chair and Associate Professor of African History\, Department of History\, U-M\n\nThis is event is free and open to the public and is in-person only.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Sampling with Langevin Dynamics: Theory\, Algorithms\, and Limitations
DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces the overdamped Langevin stochastic differential equation as a method for sampling from complex probability distributions\, with brief historical context from statistical physics. We begin by deriving the infinitesimal generator of the Langevin diffusion and the associated Fokker–Planck equation\, which governs the evolution of probability densities. This correspondence allows us to characterize invariant (stationary) distributions and to analyze qualitative dynamical behavior\, including probability flow and transition times between modes of the distributions.\n\nExploiting the special Gibbs form of the stationary distribution\, we show how overdamped Langevin dynamics can be used as a practical sampling mechanism for high-dimensional target distributions. We then compare classical Metropolis–Hastings algorithms with Langevin-based methods\, highlighting their respective strengths\, such as improved scalability with data through gradient information\, as well as their limitations\, including discretization bias and sensitivity to step size. We conclude with remarks on challenges that arise when applying Langevin-based samplers to latent-variable models\, such as latent Dirichlet allocation and tree-structured latent variable models\, where other methods such as Variational Inference perform much quicker with great results.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Thompson Sampling Algorithm for Stochastic Differential Games
DESCRIPTION:We study a stochastic differential game with $N$ competitive players in a linear-quadratic framework with ergodic cost\, where $d$-dimensional diffusion processes govern the state dynamics with an unknown common drift (matrix). Assuming a Gaussian prior on the drift\, we use filtering techniques to update its posterior estimates. Based on these estimates\, we propose a Thompson-sampling-based algorithm with dynamic episode lengths to approximate strategies. We show that the Bayesian regret for each player has an error bound of order $O(\sqrt{T\log(T)})$\, where $T$ is the time-horizon\, independent of the number of players. This implies that average regret per unit time goes to zero. Finally\, we prove that the algorithm results in a Nash equilibrium.

SUMMARY:Performance:Laith Al-Saadi
DESCRIPTION:“an alchemist of emotional blues ballads\, twanged-out toe-tapping rockers\, face-melting solos\, and everything in between.” –Jeff Milo\, Current Magazine\n\nIn 2016\, Laith Al-Saadi won America’s hearts and a spot in the Season 10 finale of NBC’s “The Voice.” Now he’s bringing an authentic blend of blues\, soul and classic rock to audiences around the nation and the world. Laith Al-Saadi has always had the perfect combination of Midwestern hustle and incredible musical chops—honed at the University of Michigan school of music in his hometown of Ann Arbor\, and on stages across the country working with legends like Taj Mahal\, Luther Allison\, Buddy Guy\, Son Seals\, Gregg Allman\, and B.B. King. \n\n“Laith is one of the most diverse talents we have\,” said Maroon 5 frontman and “The Voice” coach Adam Levine. “Incredible guitar player\, incredible singer.” \n\nEntertainment Weekly called Laith Al-Saadi “a power performer who is so legitimate and memorable.” \n\nAudiences have agreed\, propelling Laith’s album “REAL” to the top of the blues chart for five weeks and the top 20 album chart for two weeks. Guitar World Magazine has called Laith Al-Saadi a cross between \"Danny Gatton and Buddy Guy at their best\,” and in 2006 Guitar Center crowned him one of the top four blues guitarists in the United States.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Knight w/sg Matt Woods
DESCRIPTION:“a storyteller in the best traditions of Mellencamp and Springsteen” –USA Today\n\nAfter 23 years as a recording artist\, singer-songwriter Chris Knight remains boldly empowered to make music that always delivers the unflinching truth. In fact\, the man raised in Slaughters\, Kentucky uses a simple\, direct barometer to regularly check his muse: “If I can’t believe myself\, I won’t sing the song.”\n\nWhat Knight writes about is what he knows. He was raised in mining country\, so it’s no surprise that he would earn a degree in agriculture from Western Kentucky University and then work as a mine reclamation inspector and then miner’s consultant. But eventually his passion for writing songs and playing guitar\, both inspired by his musical hero\, the late John Prine\, led him to chronicle his surroundings in words and music.\n\n“I came from a big family and grew up in the woods six miles from two small towns\, so there were a lot of stories\,” he says. “There were always a lot of ideas to write about.”\n\nIt’s no wonder that Knight has single-handedly scraped a reputation as one of America’s most uncompromising and respected singer-songwriters through 23 years and nine studio albums. He’s done this minus fanfare and artifice. The native son of Slaughters\, Kentucky (population: 238) only sings songs he believes. He also speaks only when he has a potent message.

SUMMARY:Performance:Stories & Songs: An Evening with Radney Foster & Kelly Willis
DESCRIPTION:Radney Foster first gained attention as half of the duo Foster & Lloyd\, who with “Crazy Over You” became the first duo in history to top the Country charts with their debut single. He then established himself as a solo artist in the early 90’s with his critically acclaimed release Del Rio\, Texas 1959. \n\nKnown as a songwriter’s songwriter\, his songs have been recorded by everyone from Keith Urban and the Chicks to Hootie & the Blowfish and George Benson. His own hits like “Just Call Me Lonesome\,” “Nobody Wins\,” and “Texas In 1880” continue to be played on radio and by bands around the world.\n\nHis most recent project For You To See The Stars is in two parts\, a book of short fiction\, and a collection of songs to go with it. He is currently working on another book of fiction\, as well as developing film and TV projects.\n\nSinger-songwriter Kelly Willis captured critical acclaim from her first release\, with a distinctive voice that conveys both tender heartache and smoldering heat. Born in Oklahoma\, she moved often as a kid with her Army Colonel dad. She started singing professionally at 16\, fronting the rockabilly band “Kelly and the Fireballs” in the DC area\, but it soon became clear she was more of a country singer. After high school\, she moved to Austin and It wasn’t long before she got on the radar of MCA’s Tony Brown\, who signed her after an introduction by Nanci Griffith.\n\nKelly’s recording career began at a time when Nashville was experiencing a creative resurgence with the likes of Lyle Lovett\, Steve Earle\, Foster & Lloyd and The O'Kanes. She recorded three albums for MCA that were critical hits\, but it wasn’t until she left the major label restrictions behind that she came into her own with 1999’s What I Deserve for Rykodisc.\n\nThe albums Willis has made since What I Deserve have only burnished her reputation as Austin’s reigning queen of Americana\, including being inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame. When not performing her own music\, Kelly tours with Brennan Leigh and Melissa Carper as Wonder Women of Country\, in support of their 2023 self-titled EP.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mark Jewett & The Strategic Advisors w/sg Jackamo
DESCRIPTION:Country-tinged roots rock\n\nMark Jewett is an insightful Michigan native storyteller who writes songs that push the boundaries of Americana into an uncommon blend of folk\, rock\, blues\, and prog rock. In them\, listeners will hear and feel honesty\, gratitude\, and thoughtful introspection\, with doses of humor and drama to vary the pace. His songs betray the effort he makes to find just the right words\, taking cues from the likes of Randy Newman\, John Prine\, and Nick Lowe.\n\nMark assembled the band known as The Strategic Advisors to record his 2nd full length album\, “The Lucky One\,” released in 2021. The band is comprised of some of SE Michigan’s finest musicians\, including Billy Harrington (drums & vocals)\, Michael Harrington (pedal steel\, electric & acoustic guitars)\, Ken Pesick (bass)\, Amy Petty (vocals & guitar) and Dale Grisa (keyboards). The band is extremely versatile and sonically\, they make Mark's tunes span the wide space between classic folk and epic soundscapes you might expect to hear from Pink Floyd. Somehow\, it all fits together to provide an attention grabbing extravaganza.\n\nDetroit-based indie-folk band Jackamo opens. Led by sisters Alison and Tessa Wiercioch (vocals) and Jimmy Showers (guitar)\, and known for their blood harmonies\, acoustic textures\, and lyric-driven storytelling\, their sound is intimate\, nostalgic\, and always evolving.
