SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyover Country: DIY Music Flyer Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Flyover Country brings together physical reproductions of ephemera and other media from the underground and independent music scenes of the lower Great Lakes region\, spanning from the early 1980s to today. \n\nIn an era when both paper ephemera and digital creations are increasingly fragile and often fleeting\, this exhibit invites viewers to encounter materials not only as sources of information\, but as rare\, expressive artwork shaped by the people\, places\, and moments that produced them.\n\nThe exhibit documents how youth in rural and suburban Midwestern communities have used the tools available to them to build connection\, resilience\, and creative identity\, particularly among artists and musicians from marginalized or underrepresented groups.\n\nYou're invited to take part in drop-in art events to create your own collage-based artwork. Art supplies\, as well as some light refreshments\, will be provided during the drop-in events. All take place in the Shapiro Gallery:\n\nJan 26: Exhibit Open House\, 4-6 pm\nJan 28: Make Your Own Flyer Art Drop-in Event\, 4-6 pm\nFeb 4: Make Your Own Flyer Art Drop-in Event\, 4-6 pm\n\nThe exhibit and events are sponsored by U-M Library and the U-M Arts Initiative.

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:Exhibition:Flyover Country: DIY Music Flyer Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Flyover Country brings together physical reproductions of ephemera and other media from the underground and independent music scenes of the lower Great Lakes region\, spanning from the early 1980s to today. \n\nIn an era when both paper ephemera and digital creations are increasingly fragile and often fleeting\, this exhibit invites viewers to encounter materials not only as sources of information\, but as rare\, expressive artwork shaped by the people\, places\, and moments that produced them.\n\nThe exhibit documents how youth in rural and suburban Midwestern communities have used the tools available to them to build connection\, resilience\, and creative identity\, particularly among artists and musicians from marginalized or underrepresented groups.\n\nYou're invited to take part in drop-in art events to create your own collage-based artwork. Art supplies\, as well as some light refreshments\, will be provided during the drop-in events. All take place in the Shapiro Gallery:\n\nJan 26: Exhibit Open House\, 4-6 pm\nJan 28: Make Your Own Flyer Art Drop-in Event\, 4-6 pm\nFeb 4: Make Your Own Flyer Art Drop-in Event\, 4-6 pm\n\nThe exhibit and events are sponsored by U-M Library and the U-M Arts Initiative.

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:Performance:Art Outta Town: Hadestown
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a trip to the Wharton Center for Performing Arts in East Lansing to see a touring Broadway production of Hadestown! We will travel together on a blue bus to and from the show. Tickets are $15 (plus ticket fees) and transportation and admission are included. \n\nHadestown intertwines two mythic tales—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice\, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone—as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature\, doubt against faith\, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors\, dancers and singers\, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.\n\nCo-presented by the Arts Initiative and the Center for Campus Involvement.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Small-scale Lyman alpha forest cosmology: Constraints from high-resolution quasar surveys
DESCRIPTION:We present a new cosmological analysis of the small-scale (k ≈ 1-8 h/Mpc) Lyman-α forest 1D flux power spectrum (P1D)\, using high-resolution quasar spectra from XQ100 and KODIAQ-SQUAD interpreted with the PRIYA simulation based emulator. The Lyα P1D is a unique probe of structure formation on Mpc scales\, sensitive to dark matter models and also tracing astrophysical processes such as He II reionization and feedback. PRIYA is the first simulation suite to jointly span cosmological parameters and inhomogeneous He II reionization\, enabling a full exploration of the covariance between cosmology and astrophysics at these scales. With this framework\, we infer cosmological constraints from the XQ100 and KODIAQ-SQUAD P1D\, finding agreement between XQ100 and eBOSS cosmology\, while KODIAQ-SQUAD shows a biasedly high matter clustering driven by high-column-density absorber selection. High-resolution P1D data  provides tighter constraints on the IGM thermal history and absorber abundance than medium-resolution surveys\, offering complementary information to DESI. This complementarity can help break degeneracies between IGM physics and cosmology in future DESI Lyα forest P1D analyses.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Camassa-Holm Equations with an internal symmetry
DESCRIPTION:In the first part of my talk\, I will revisit my work on the scalar Camassa–Holm equation\, which will set the stage for the second part. There\, I will outline a construction of spinor analogs of the Camassa–Holm equation. In essence\, each orthogonal group gives rise to a Camassa–Holm–type equation with intricate internal dynamics. I will motivate this generalization using spectral deformations of the Euler–Bernoulli beam problem\, which corresponds to the Clifford algebra on two generators with Minkowski signature. The dynamics of solutions of this Clifford extension are far more intricate than in the scalar case\, a contrast I will illustrate with concrete examples. The talk is based on recent joint work with R. Beals and ongoing research with A. Hone and V. Novikov.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: A Unified Finiteness Theorem For Curves
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk presents a unified framework for finiteness results concerning arithmetic points on algebraic curves\, exploring the analogy between number fields and function fields. The number field setting\, joint work with F. Janbazi\, generalizes and extends classical results of Birch–Merriman\, Siegel\, and Faltings. We prove that the set of Galois-conjugate points on a smooth projective curve with good reduction outside a fixed finite set of places is finite\, when considered up to the action of the automorphism group of a proper integral model. Motivated by this\, we consider the function field analogue\, involving a smooth and proper family of curves over an affine curve defined over a finite field. In this setting\, we show that for a fixed degree\, there are only finitely many étale relative divisors over the base\, up to the action of the family's automorphism group (and including the Frobenius in the isotrivial case). Together\, these results illustrate both the parallels and distinctions between the two arithmetic settings\, contributing to a broader unifying perspective on finiteness.\n\nThis talk will be available on Zoom and also screened in the usual seminar room. \n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/meetings/94035591521/invitations?signature=wyG79PvgvBsNFNTwNdlSBhapEA35q80UxT-b6dmZZ14

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queer Palestinian Film & the Second Intifada
DESCRIPTION:Drew Paul\, Associate Professor of Arabic and Co-Director of Cinema Studies at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, presents a talk centered on two short Palestinian films—Chic Point (2003) by Sharif Waked\, and Diary of a Male Whore (2001) by Tawfik Abu Wael)—as examples of a wave of queer films from or about Palestine that emerge during and after the Second Intifada (2000–2005). \n\nThe talk examines visual and narrative characteristics of these films\, including violations of bodily autonomy\, spatial constriction\, flashback and traumatic recall\, and use of shadows and darkness. It then connects these elements to broader trends in Second Intifada filmmaking to argue that queer narratives and experiences offer a compelling visual language for critiquing forms of violence and collective punishment that Israel utilized during the Second Intifada and has continued to deploy\, expand\, and refine in the 20 years since.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, and the Program in Arab and Muslim American Studies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student combinatorics seminar: q-rational numbers and dimers
DESCRIPTION:I will talk about a q-analogue of rational numbers introduced by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko. Motivated by combinatorics of classic continued fractions in the context of triangulations and walks on the Farey graph\, they assigned to each rational number r/s a rational function in q\, R(q)/S(q)\, where R(q) and S(q) are coprime polynomials in q with positive integer coefficients. Based on a recent work of Ovsienko\, we will interpret these polynomials in the context of perfect matchings (dimers) on snake graphs. This is a self-contained talk which will include necessary background on dimer models on planar graphs\, such as the dimer lattice and the face polynomial.

DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Energy landscape analysis of multivariate time series via the Ising model | Winter Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:I present energy landscape analysis for multivariate time series. We infer an effective energy landscape from the data by fitting the inverse Ising model (also called a Boltzmann machine and pairwise maximum entropy model) and represent each observed system state as the position of a \"ball\" constrained to move on that surface. From the estimated landscape we compute\, statistical-physics‑inspired indices\, such as basin structure\, barrier heights\, dwell times\, transition rates\, and susceptibilities\, to characterize collective organization\, metastability\, and transition dynamics in the original time series. I illustrate the approach with neuroimaging examples in health and disease.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transition to Green Technology along the Supply Chain
DESCRIPTION:We analyze a model of green technological transition along a supply chain. The model generates a unique equilibrium for given initial conditions but multiple steady- states. We show that: (i) even in the presence of Pigouvian environmental taxation\, targeted sectoral subsidies are generally necessary to implement the social optimum\; (ii) small\, targeted industrial policy may bring large welfare gains\; (iii) a government which is unable to subsidize greenification in more than one sector or price carbon at its true social cost should primarily target downstream sectors\; (iv) overinvesting in greenification in the wrong upstream branch may derail the overall transition towards greenification. Finally\, we calibrate our model to decarbonization of heavy duty transportation (trucking\, aviation\, etc.) via hydrogen. We find that\, absent industrial policy\, the economy can get stuck in the “wrong” steady-state with CO2 emissions vastly above the social optimum even with a Pigouvian carbon price in place.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Illegal Enforcement Against Insider Trading in China's Securities Markets – Rule of Law Defects and Rule of Law Responses
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/e3812\n\nThe People's Republic of China has had a statutory prohibition against \"insider trading\" (using material\, non-public\, information to trade securities with uninformed counterparties for individual profits) since the promulgation of its second securities law statute\, the 2006 PRC Securities Law\, some 15 years after stock exchanges were first established in Shanghai and Shenzhen. However\, the provisions designed to battle insider trading built into Chinese law were a melange of ill-understood foreign (mostly US Supreme Court jurisprudential) doctrines\, equally ill-suited to punishing insider trading (and \"tipping\" or \"tippee trading\") as it appears in China's contemporary securities markets. That dissonance led to what can only be understood as baseless\, or illegal\, enforcement of the prohibition by China's securities regulator and criminal prosecutors against types of trading not captured by the statutory (legal) prohibition\, especially after the market crashes in China in 2015-16\, when there was tremendous pressure on the Politburo to show state action in response to popular fury. In 2020\, China revised its Securities Law\, but in ways that still fail to address the rampant illegality of civil and criminal enforcement against trading behavior that is not\, under any legal analysis\, captured by the statutory insider trading prohibition. This presentation will describe the 20 year old problem\, offer simple statutory and regulatory remedies that have so far escaped the Chinese legislator\, and consider what this kind of legally baseless enforcement by the state in one corner of one post-Reform market means for China's Socialist rule of law program.\n   \n   Nicholas Calcina Howson is the Pao Li Tsiang Chair Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School who works and writes on Chinese law and legal institutions\, Chinese legal history\, market regulation in the PRC\, administrative law\, and People's Court jurisprudence. A graduate of Williams College and the Columbia Law School\, he is a former partner of Paul\, Weiss\, Rifkind\, Wharton & Garrison LLP\, where he worked out of that firm's New York\, Paris\, London and Beijing Offices\, finally as a managing partner of the firm's Asia Practice based in the Chinese capital. Howson has also taught at the Berkeley\, Columbia\, Cornell\, and Harvard Law Schools\, and served as a consultant on Chinese law matters to the Ford Foundation\, the United Nations Development Programme\, the Asian Development Bank\, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\, and has advised the National People’s Congress of the PRC on the amendment of the PRC Company Law and the PRC Securities Law. He acts regularly as a Chinese law expert or party advocate in US and international litigations and/or US government enforcement actions. Professor Howson is a designated foreign arbitrator for the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) in Beijing and the Shanghai International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (SHAIC).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series Presents: The Way We News Now: How information abundance\, news negativity\, and media distrust are changing the way Americans engage with journalism
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAs Americans increasingly turn to social media for news\, they face political information environments that are overwhelmingly crowded\, emotional\, and lack epistemic hierarchies of informational sources. This has wide reaching consequences for politics when it comes to issues like misinformation and polarization\, but it is also changing public perceptions of what news media are and challenging traditional understanding of the role of news media in democracies. Using panel survey data from 2020 and 2024\, we examine two seemingly contradictory phenomenon: how information abundance can lead to news avoidance and how strong emotional reactions to politics can lead to disengagement. Together\, these studies highlight how social media may be shaping both how Americans define news and how they engage with it in the contemporary political information environment.  \n\nBio:\nAriel Hasell is an Associate Professor of Communication and Media at the University of Michigan. Broadly\, her research examines how the contemporary media environment influences exposure to information about science and politics\, the effects of that exposure on knowledge and beliefs\, as well as public engagement with science and politics in society.\n\nMeeting ID:	929 6502 5837\nPasscode:	770619

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exploring Digital Privacy from a Child’s Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Privacy@Michigan Event.\n\nConversations about children’s digital privacy are frequent\, and with good reason: ad revenue to tech companies from child viewers topped 11 billion dollars in 2023. These conversations include policymakers\, educators\, researchers\, and parents\, but children themselves are rarely included. The purpose of this talk will therefore be to explore what we know about children’s own perspectives on their digital privacy\, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence. We’ll cover what they notice\, care about\, and understand as it relates to online privacy and data security\, and what researchers can explore next to continue child-centered conversations about how best to keep children safe online.\n\nDr. Lauren N. Girouard is a National Science Foundation postdoctoral research scholar at the University of Michigan and Harvard University\, where she works with Drs. Susan Gelman\, Ying Xu\, and Jenny Radesky on projects examining children’s beliefs about AI chatbots and how those beliefs translate into digital literacy in home and classroom environments. She graduated with her PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Louisville in May 2024. Her work broadly examines how 4- to 17-year-old children think about\, trust\, and learn from emerging technologies and AI. \n\nAdd this event to your Google calendar.\nhttps://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit/copy/MnRpdnA0Z3JpYzRhMWM2Y241NXMwNmdzYzYgdW1pY2guZWR1X2ZkczI0Z2V2cGE0MnY5NTc2bG5wZTJjbWxrQGc

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Oxyanion Reduction with Iron Catalysts
DESCRIPTION:The development of synthetic models that mimic the highly specialized coordination spheres of metalloenzymes remains a primary goal in inorganic synthesis\, particularly for the reduction of kinetically inert oxyanions. This work describes the design and reactivity of a bio-inspired nonheme iron framework\, [N(afaCy)3Fe]OTf2\, emphasizing the role of secondary coordination sphere interactions in facilitating challenging multi-electron/multi-proton transfer processes. By tailoring the ligand architecture to stabilize reactive intermediates\, we demonstrate the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxyanions (NO3– and NO2–) to N2 or NH3. Mechanistic insights obtained through isotopic labeling\, spectroscopic characterization\, and computational analysis identify a key hydroxylamine intermediate\, illustrating how structural modifications to the iron center dictate divergent reaction pathways. Furthermore\, the complex demonstrates a distinct selectivity profile in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)\, favoring a two-electron/two-proton pathway to produce hydrogen peroxide\, an uncommon result for nonheme iron catalysts that underscores the influence of the local chemical environment on redox transformations. These results highlight the importance of precise structural control in the synthesis of iron-based complexes for the transformation of diverse chemical feedstocks and the advancement of sustainable catalysis.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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: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:Student Number Theory: Stable conjugacy and transfer of tori
DESCRIPTION:If G is a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over F\, a non-Archimedean local field\, then all of its maximal tori are conjugate over the separable closure of F. But when are two maximal tori of G rationally conjugate\, i.e. conjugate by an element of G(F)? Are there circumstances under which we say what it means for maximal tori in two different groups to be conjugate? In this talk\, we will endeavor to answer these and some related questions. Along the way\, we will go over a small example in detail\, and we will review some properties of Galois cohomology as well as the notion of what it means for two connected reductive groups to be inner twists of each other.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Supersonic Currents to Cavity-Altered Superconductors
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the use of scan probe microscopy to gain microscopic insight into two separate quantum phenomena in solids.\n\nIn the first experiment\, we explore how electrons in ultra-clean solids can behave as a viscous fluid\, enabling transport far from the textbook ohmic or ballistic regimes. I will discuss a bilayer-graphene electronic de Laval nozzle that accelerates carriers to supersonic speeds\, producing a viscous electron shock. Discontinuities in transport and local potential flattening observed by Kelvin probe microscopy are consistent with a compressible\, hydrodynamic flow that breaks the electronic sound barrier\, opening a path to intrinsically nonlinear devices that exploit shocks.\n\nIn the second experiment\, I will discuss how we can affect superconductivity by engineering a material’s electromagnetic environment. Using a “dark” hyperbolic cavity formed by hexagonal boron nitride interfaced with the molecular superconductor κ-(BEDT-TTF)₂Cu[N(CN)₂]Br (κ-ET)\, we realize resonant coupling between hBN hyperbolic modes and a molecular vibration implicated in pairing. We use magnetic-force microscopy to detect  the Meissner response at the interface of the two materials. We observe a marked suppression of superfluid density at the interface—an effect absent in non-resonant controls.\n\nBio: Abhay Pasupathy is a professor in the physics department at Columbia University (since 2009)\, and is also a group leader in the Condensed Matter and Materials Science Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory (since 2020). His research interests are in understanding the emergent properties of quantum materials\, using microscopic and spectroscopic tools such as the scanning tunneling microscope\, the atomic force microscope and angle resolved photoemission.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student DGT: We Need to Talk About Spectra
DESCRIPTION:Stable homotopy theory has its origins with Freudenthal\, who observed that the homotopy groups of spheres exhibit stable behavior under suspension. Stable phenomena had appeared earlier\, in examples like singular cohomology. But through later developments that used generalized cohomology theories to reduce deep geometrical problems to computations in stable homotopy (like K-theory\, or Thom’s work on cobordism)\, the subject established its centrality. There was a need for a topological setting in which stable phenomena could be systematically studied.\nIn this talk\, I will introduce the stable homotopy category from two complementary points of view. First\, I will describe how attempts to stabilize the homotopy category of spaces naturally lead to spectra\, using the sphere spectrum as a guiding example. Second\, I will explain how spectra arise more importantly as representing objects for generalized cohomology theories\, beginning with singular cohomology and K-theory.\n\nI hope to place emphasis on building intuition from concrete examples rather than formal foundations. I will also briefly indicate why one is led to consider structured models of spectra (like S-modules) and symmetric monoidal categories of spectra—and\, if time permits\, say a few words about highly structured ring spectra and E∞-rings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Plasma and Gas Optics for Ultra-Intense Lasers
DESCRIPTION:MIPSE Early Career Award 2025-2026\n\nAbstract: \nOur ability to build lasers of higher peak power into higher-intensity regimes of laser science is fundamentally limited by the optical damage thresholds of the dielectric coatings\, glass\, and metal that make up modern optics. Although we would like to have lasers capable of probing Schwinger-limit fields or accelerating large plasma volumes to relativistic speeds\, current laser technology cannot be scaled much beyond the ten-petawatt level without prohibitive cost. Plasma physics offers a solution: plasma can tolerate light intensities far beyond the damage thresholds of solid-state optics. In principle\, the use of plasmas as optics allows the construction of compact ultra-high-power lasers\, but a range of plasma physics and engineering problems must first be solved. We will discuss how gases and plasmas can be shaped into precision optics suitable for our most powerful and energetic lasers\, providing ultra-high damage thresholds and resistance to the neutron and debris fluxes that would be present in an inertial fusion plant. We will show experimental\, computational\, and analytic results on the performance of gas and plasma diffraction gratings and lenses\, including demonstrations of efficiency and stability comparable to standard solid-state optics. We will then discuss designs for plasma-based laser systems and how plasma optics could enable compact lasers with multi-petawatt to exawatt peak powers.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nMatthew Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. He received BSE\, MA\, and PhD degrees from Princeton University in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. From 2019 to 2022 he was a Lawrence Fellow in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. His research applies high-power lasers to the development of optical diagnostics for fluids and plasmas\, the study of intense light-matter interactions\, and the construction of compact light and particle sources\, combining adaptive high-repetition-rate experiments and large-scale simulations to explore new regimes in fluid mechanics\, thermodynamics\, materials science\, and plasma physics.\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:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Seminar Series featuring Toshiro Hara\, PhD (Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at UM Medical School)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nA highly lethal brain tumor glioblastoma exhibits significant internal heterogeneity\, containing a range of tumor cells and associated stromal and immune components. Single-cell and spatial expression profiling have emerged as transformative tools to dissect this complexity and help predict cellular and system-level behaviors. Yet\, it remains the case that these insights have not engendered a more hopeful outlook\, such as diagnostic methods and therapeutic agents. This seminar will focus on two defining features of glioblastoma: inflammation and invasion. By examining these phenomena through the lens of cellular states and cell-cell interactions\, we aim to highlight avenues for intervention. Additional attention will be paid to technical aspects: computational and experimental integration to profile and perturb the glioblastoma ecosystem in patients and model systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On hypoellipticity of degenerate operators in testing and detection problems
DESCRIPTION:We study a class of degenerate diffusion generators that arise in sequential testing and quickest detection problems with partial information. The observation process is driven by k independent Brownian motions\, while the hidden state takes n+1 values with k<n. By moving to the posterior likelihood coordinates\, we analyze the Hömander's condition of the operator both without state switching (testing) and with switching (detection). We characterize the cases where the operator is hypoelliptic for the former\, give two different sufficient conditions for the latter\, and discuss their consequences.\n\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG SEMINAR GEOMETRY TOPOLOGY DYNAMICS:  Arithmeticity\, superrigidity\, and totally geodesic submanifolds
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, Bader and Furman extended Margulis' higher-rank superrigidity theorem using the notion of algebraic representations of ergodic actions\, abbreviated AREA. The idea now is to apply the AREA machinery in the rank-1 setting\, where superrigidity remains a mysterious phenomenon. This talk will serve as a preview for my talk in the Geometry seminar\, where I will discuss recent progress in this direction. In particular\, I will review important elements of Margulis' original proof of superrigidity and provide some context for the recent work of Bader-Fisher-Miller-Stover on the arithmeticity of finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with infinitely many maximal totally geodesic submanifolds.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Fundamental solutions for Stokes flow in the half space
DESCRIPTION:Boundary integral equations (BIE) are widely used for simulating systems in viscous or small scale fluids modeled by the Stokes equation. Often\, systems of interest live in confined and/or periodic geometries\, such as the transport of cells in the blood vessel or bacterial suspensions near a stationary wall. The study of these systems benefit from the dimension reduction of the BIE methods\, but computation costs need to be reduced further due to the multiscale behaviors and large degrees of freedom. The free-space fundamental solution is often used in the BIE formulation\, but having a fundamental solution that satisfies more boundary conditions means less computation during the BIE solve. \n\nIn this talk I will present the fundamental solution for the 3D half-space\, where a stationary wall is set at z=0 with no-slip boundary conditions [1]. I will then present an alternative formulation by [2] that is individually net-force-free for periodization. These formulations use the free-space fundamental solutions of Stokes and Laplace equations and their derivatives\, and are therefore easily implemented and optimized due to the many free-space fast algorithms available\, including FMM. \n\n[1] Z.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Midnight Hour
DESCRIPTION:Tommy Donovan’s Midnight Hour which airs every Thursday night just past prime time has found its place amongst second rate television programs. Exiled to the shadows of industry giants the likes of Milton Berle and Johnny Carson\, Tommy Donovan is no “Mr. Television”. In fact\, he is barely “Mr. Midnight” Desperate to up viewership\, Donovan and his producer\, Sam Alden\, decide to invite a number of controversial figures onto the show. This show uses the occult panic of the mid seventies to turn a mirror to our own current media environment of headlines and spectacle.

SUMMARY:Performance:Audrey Ray
DESCRIPTION:Vinyl record release concert!\n\nAudrey Ray is a rising country music singer-songwriter hailing from Michigan\, with a journey that has taken her from her hometown to Nashville and beyond. Music has always been a constant in her life\, from her early days singing in church choirs to organizing her own performances at local coffee shops as a middle schooler. By the time she was old enough to hit the local bar scene\, Audrey was already rocking full-band shows\, carving out her own path in the music industry. Over the years\, she has continuously pushed forward\, building a reputation and working with some of country music's finest.\n\nOne of her biggest career milestones came in May 2024 when she recorded two original songs\, “'68 Mustang” and “Sparks\,” with Country Music Icon Producer Kent Wells\, who is best known for his work with Dolly Parton. This experience marked a major turning point for Audrey\, helping her refine her unique sound and elevate her career. Alongside the release of these songs\, Audrey also unveiled two accompanying music videos\, collaborating with Revo Media in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nBefore teaming up with Kent Wells\, Audrey worked with the legendary Patalan Brothers—Tim and Andy Patalan\, known for their work with the iconic Detroit rock band SPONGE. In 2021\, Audrey released \"Temporary Fix\,\" a track she co-wrote with Tim Patalan\, who also produced it.\nThis summer of 2025\, Audrey went back into the studio to work with Kent Wells on more recordings\, and she is so proud to share these songs at the very special Vinyl Record Release Concert at The Ark! Vinyl records have been pressed in partnership with Third Man Records in Detroit\, MI.

DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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:Conference / Symposium:CAS Workshop. Photographic Genres\, in and Beyond Archives
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the multiple deployments of photography in the early twentieth-century global Middle East. The goal is to understand how visual practices intersect with power\, communication\, and documentation. Collectively\, participants ask how photography became a tool for denaturalization and the persecution of undesirable and marginalized subjects in imperial settings\, such as minorities\, revolutionaries\, and convicts in the Ottoman and Qajar empires. How did state This workshop explores the multiple deployments of photography in the early twentieth-century global Middle East. We will discuss how visual practices intersect with power\, communication\, and documentation. Collectively\, participants ask how photography became a tool for denaturalization and the persecution of undesirable and marginalized subjects\, whether minorities\, revolutionaries\, and convicts in the Ottoman and Qajar empires. How did state surveillance of mobility produce knowledge about imperial subjects?\n\nParticipants will examine a diverse range of photographic genres\, from family records to convict photographs\, and studio portraits to complicate photography’s role in regulating class and gender dynamics as well as criminality across the region.\n\nQuestions of ownership and the ethical status of imperial archives that preserve photographs of marginalized or indigenous communities are critical to our discussions of power. How can we responsibly reconstruct the pasts of marginalized\, displaced\, and persecuted individuals by the Ottoman or Qajar state using photographs taken by the very same state? In what ways did photographs serve as instruments of state bureaucracy and as a form of resistance to it? In other words\, how do blurred boundaries between photographic genres offer subjects opportunities to assert their identity and recreate personal or collective memories?\n\nWorkshop Program\n\n9:30 - 9:45 am: Morning Refreshments\n\n9:45-10 am: Welcome & Opening Remarks\nKathryn Babayan\, Director of the Center for Armenian Studies\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\nHazal Özdemir\, Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow of Armenian History\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\n\n10:00 – 11:15 am: Keynote Lecture\n“From Euphoria to Rigor: Challenges in the History of Photography in the Ottoman Empire”\nEdhem Eldem\, Columbia University\n\n11:15 - 11:30 am: Coffee Break\n\n11:30 am - 1:00 pm: Panel 1: Chasing Unusual Photographic Ventures\n“In Living Color: Hand-painted Photographs\, Ottoman Costumes\, and Gendered Labor”\n- Erin Hyde Nolan\, Harvard University\n\n“Migration Photography as an In-between Genre and Disobedient Photographers”\n- Hazal Özdemir\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\n\nRespondent: Joseph Ho\, University of Michigan\n\n1:00 - 2:00 pm: Lunch\n\n2:00 – 3:30 pm: Panel 2: Documenting Atrocity and Survival\nThe ‘Soulless Machine’ and Its Image Output: Photographs of Terror and the End of the Iranian Constitutional Revolution\n- Mira Xenia Schwerda\, Duke University\n\n“Unidentified as a Genre: The Archival Afterlives of Photographs at the Bibliothèque Nubar”\n- İdil Çetin\, University of Oslo\n\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan\, University of Michigan\n\n3:30 – 4:00 pm: Coffee Break\n\n4:00 – 5:00 pm: Roundtable Discussion\n- Arto Vaun\, Project Save Photograph Archive\n\nCosponsor:\nNational Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\n   \nOnline Access:\n   Webinar ID: 932 5370 8805\n   https://umich.zoom.us/j/93253708805\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Distant Listening: Conceptions of Sound and Language in Japanese Sinitic Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/xwAZ5\n   \n   Sound is fundamental to most definitions of poetry\, a mode of expression often distinguished by the combined emphasis it places upon both sound and sense. But what about poetry written in a language by those who do not speak it? Like their counterparts elsewhere in the Sinographosphere\, composers of Sinitic poetry in early modern Japan were keenly attentive to prosodic rules\, tonality\, rhyme\, and other features conventionally associated with aurality. Yet such aspects of a poem were usually inaudible in the dominant form of oral performance practiced in Japan at the time: interpretive recitation aloud by *kundoku.* This talk examines the diverse ways in which early modern Japanese theorists and practitioners of Sinitic poetry grappled with this central issue.\n   \n   Matthew Fraleigh is an associate professor of East Asian literature and culture at Brandeis University. He is also currently the Center for Japanese Studies Toyota Visiting Professor at the University of Michigan. Professor Fraleigh is broadly interested in Sino-Japanese cultural exchange from antiquity through the modern period and is now completing a book that examines how Japanese poets from the 17th through the 19th centuries conceptualized classical Chinese poetry.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Brain tumors are organized as active nematic liquid crystals\n\nAbstract:\nWhether gliomas consist of random accumulations of cells or are self-organizing remains unknown.  If large scale order exists\, it should manifest as invariant structures across different tumors. Recently\, we described the existence of oncostreams\, fascicles of elongated mesenchymal-like cells that are found in gliomas in both rodent and human tumors. In this presentation\, I will discuss that glioma brain tumors in vivo\, and in vitro\, are structured as active nematic liquid crystals. Building on our previous work that gliomas exhibit self-organized\, aligned\, multicellular structures\, termed oncostreams\, I will show that gliomas display nematic order\, topological defects\, disclinations\, and quasi-long range order in 2D and in 3D. Significantly\, the amount of nematic order scales with tumor aggression - suggesting crystalline order contributes to tumor malignancy - constituting a novel potential therapeutic target for this incurable cancer. Potential novel therapeutic approaches based on this new understanding of the structure of gliomas will be discussed. \n\nBio:\nDr. Lowenstein graduated MD\, Ph.D. from the University of Buenos Aires\, Argentina. Following postdoctoral work at The Johns Hopkins University\, NIH\, and Oxford University he opened his first lab at the University of Dundee\, Scotland. Subsequently\, he has taught and researched at the University of Wales\, Cardiff\, the University of Manchester\, UK\, and UCLA and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center\, in Los Angeles\, CA. He has been at the University of Michigan since 2011. His interests lie in understanding and curing brain tumors. Most recently\, he has been exploring the physical organization of brain tumors\, as will be discussed during his presentation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899:  Mohammed Safayet Arefin
DESCRIPTION:Head-Mounted Display (HMD) interfaces are designed to present virtual information within users' real-world view\, enhancing their perception of the real world and supporting effective task execution. Effective human performance with an HMD depends strongly on the design of its interface. Three key components are visual depth\, clutter\, and transparency. HMD interface visual depth is the distance between the user’s eyes and the virtual information displayed in the real-world view. HMD interface clutter denotes the amount of virtual information shown. HMD interface transparency aims to balance the legibility of virtual elements and the visibility of the real-world environment seen through the HMD. This talk presents some of our recent findings on these issues\, with an emphasis on human performance and perception.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Investigating the Effects of SMBH Feedback on Galaxy Morphology using FIRE-2 Simulations\"\n\nIn the local universe\, low-mass irregular galaxies (stellar mass ~ 10^9 M_sun) and Milky Way mass disk galaxies (stellar mass ~ 10^10 M_sun) are typically star-forming\, while massive\, elliptical galaxies (stellar mass ~ 10^11 M_sun) are usually “quenched” or not forming stars. Simulations have shown that supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback shuts down star formation in these massive galaxies and is required to reproduce the observed galaxy population at low redshift. The details of how SMBH Feedback corresponds to galaxy morphology are still not fully understood. To elucidate the effects of SMBH Feedback on galaxy morphology\, we analyze a subset of 9 Milky Way-mass galaxies with live SMBH feedback from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) simulations. Using circularity (epsilon = J_z/J_c(E)) as a proxy for morphology\, we investigate how the presence of SMBH feedback energetics\, like heating and outflows/winds\, disrupts star formation and the subsequent morphological evolution of galaxies over cosmic time. We find that SMBH feedback reduces star formation across three evolutionary phases corresponding to spheroidal\, thick disk\, and thin disk morphologies. The effect of SMBH during the disk formation phase results in more spheroidal-shaped galaxies under SMBH Feedback than without.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar: Extreme waves and large deviations for 2D pure gravity deep water waves
DESCRIPTION:We study the formation of extreme waves from a statistical viewpoint in the context of the pure gravity water wave equations in deep water. We quantify their probability under random Gaussian sea initial data up to the optimal timescales allowed by deterministic wellposedness theory. The proof shows that rogue waves most likely arise through \"dispersive focusing\"\, where phase synchronization produces constructive amplification of the water crest.\nThe main difficulty in justifying this mechanism is propagating statistical information over such long timescales\, which we overcome by combining normal forms and probabilistic methods. Unlike previous results\, this new approach does not require approximate solutions to be Gaussian. Joint work with M. Berti\, A. Maspero and G. Staffilani.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry Seminar:  Superrigidity of rich representations
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce the class of geodesically rich representations. These are representations of (real or complex) hyperbolic lattices that preserve a significant amount of the geometric structure of the associated quotient manifold. When the quotient manifold has robust geometric structure\, these representations exhibit rigidity phenomena. In particular\, a recent superrigidity theorem for rich representations was used to prove that finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with infinitely many maximal totally geodesic submanifolds are arithmetic (Bader-Fisher-Miller-Stover). I will discuss a new superrigidity theorem for rich representations that efficiently recovers existing results and addresses target groups that were previously inaccessible.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When the Ocean Aerosolizes Pollution: Chemistry of the Products We Breathe
DESCRIPTION:Emerging atmospheric particulates—including micro- and nanoplastics\, engineered nanoparticles\, and chemicals used in consumer and industrial products—are increasingly detected in marine environments. My group combines field measurements with laboratory studies to elucidate the emissions\, enrichment\, molecular composition\, and multiphase chemical transformations of these particulates in sea spray aerosol (SSA). We investigate how particle matrix\, interfacial composition\, and phase state control reaction pathways and kinetics.\n\nFieldwork along the San Diego coastline reveals elevated concentrations of wastewater-derived contaminants in SSA associated with the Tijuana River\, with phthalate esters showing strong and chain-length-dependent enrichment. Complementary aerosol flow-tube and online mass spectrometry experiments probe the photo-initiated and heterogeneous oxidation of representative consumer-product compounds. We find that oxybenzone\, triclosan\, and bisphenol A undergo accelerated oxidation in SSA mimics—especially in the presence of salts and photosensitizers—forming higher yields of and more toxic particle-phase transformation products.\n\nTogether\, this work demonstrates how marine aerosols act as chemically active microreactors\, where multiphase kinetics and physicochemical properties govern the fate and transformation of particulates of emerging concern.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Construction and Political Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Nicholas G. Blackwell\, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies\, Indiana University\, Bloomington\n\nExactly how Mycenae and Tiryns interacted during the Late Bronze Age has intrigued scholars and the public alike ever since Heinrich Schliemann excavated both citadels in the late nineteenth century. Because preserved Linear B records from the Argolid are sparse\, the region’s administrative and hierarchical organization remains uncertain\, and debates about political structures—both within the Argolid and across the Mycenaean world—persist. The close proximity of these two major palatial centers is especially challenging to explain. Were they independent rivals\, part of a localized Argolid kingdom dominated by one site\, or integrated elements of a single Mycenaean polity spanning the Aegean?\n\nThis talk approaches these questions from a stoneworking and architectural perspective\, focusing on evidence from the late fourteenth and thirteenth centuries BCE. I argue that distinct technological and stoneworking parallels between the sites point to episodes of meaningful collaboration. Moreover\, I propose that this craft—and likely political—relationship evolved over time. Although Mycenae is often assumed to have asserted regional hegemony by the early fourteenth century\, unequivocal evidence for its direct involvement in construction at Tiryns appears only by the mid-thirteenth century. This development coincides with major architectural changes at Mycenae that signal sociopolitical transformations at the site and potentially across the region. My analysis offers a fresh perspective on the shifting dynamics of the Argolid at the height of Mycenaean power.\n\nNicholas G. Blackwell is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at Indiana University\, Bloomington. His research investigates the archaeology\, art\, and architecture of Greece and the eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age\, with particular emphasis on stoneworking\, tools\, metallurgy\, technology\, and cross-cultural exchange. He is the author of the forthcoming book Architecture and Politics in Mycenaean Greece: Stoneworking\, Labor\, and Political Ties in the Late Bronze Age (Cambridge University Press\, 2026).\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public. This event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided at 5:30 PM\, with the lecture starting at 6:00 PM.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Rick Lowe
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRick Lowe is an American artist who pairs paintings\, drawings\, and installations with collaborative\, community-based projects developed in the tradition of Joseph Beuys’ concept of “social sculpture.” Working closely with individuals and communities\, he has identified many ways to harness creativity to address concerns around equity and justice. Beginning with his co-founding of Project Row Houses (1993–2008) in Houston’s Third Ward and continuing through other initiatives across the United States and internationally\, Lowe aims to catalyze sustainable change to promote understanding\, equity\, and justice.\n\nIn his studio-based practice\, Lowe combines painting and collage to develop works—often at an expansive scale—that take an exploratory approach to geography and abstraction. Inspired in part by patterns of domino games that he plays to engage with community members worldwide\, he notes correspondences between the dense\, layered arrangements of domino tiles and maps of urban districts. The vibrant paintings that emerge suggest cartographic configurations and transformations of civic structures and relationships over time.\n\nBorn in Russell County\, Alabama\, Lowe lives and works in Houston. Since 2016\, he has taught at the University of Houston’s College of the Arts as a professor of interdisciplinary practice. Among his many honors\, he received the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities in 2002\, was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2014\, and was the Roy Lichtenstein Artist in Residence at the American Academy in Rome in 2024.\n\nLowe has been working as part of the U-M Arts Initiative’s Creators on Campus program as artist in residence with the Institute for Social Research (ISR) over the last two years\, collaborating with students and researchers in preparation for his upcoming exhibition at UMMA. The exhibition\, featuring his ongoing project\, Black Wall Street Journey\, will open in August 2026.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Institute for Social Research\, Arts Initiative\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\n\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Spiritual Wellness Group
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays | 5:30–7:00 PM | February 5 - April 2 What would it look like to pause—really pause—in the middle of a busy semester?\nTo gather with others who are curious about meaning\, purpose\, and what helps us feel grounded and whole?Spiritual Wellness is an 8-week small-group experience for students who want space to reflect\, connect\, and explore their inner lives—no matter their spiritual\, religious\, or secular background.

Each week includes guided practices\, shared reflection\, wisdom traditions\, and meaningful conversation—designed to support spiritual wellness\, genuine relationships\, and a deep sense of belonging.The series is facilitated by Kelsey Lewis\, with support from guest facilitators who bring diverse voices and practices. Because trust and community grow over time\, participants commit to weekly attendance for all 8 weeks\, ending with a closing celebration to honor the journey we’ve shared.$250 stipend for participants who complete the full program\nLimited to 12 students to create an intimate\, supportive group\n

DESCRIPTION:“Both timeless and utterly of our times… [Ye Vagabonds] tap into the beating heart of the tradition” –The Irish Times\n\nBrothers Brian and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn grew up playing music together around their hometown of Carlow\, a small town in the southeast of Ireland. After moving to Dublin in 2012\, they quickly became a staple of the live music and session scene in Ireland\, playing their own original songs as well as folk songs from Ireland\, Scotland\, England and America.\n\nAfter a chance meeting at Electric Picnic in September 2015\, the brothers performed onstage with Glen Hansard\, who invited them to open for him on his European tour the following October. \n\nIn October 2017 they launched their debut\, self-titled album to great acclaim. Comprised of harmony rich folk music\, influenced by Irish traditional music\, Appalachian singing\, and the 1960’s folk revival\, it included ten mellow tracks weaved with thoughtful lyrics\, thickly layered with strings and droning harmonium.\n\nTheir newest album Nine Waves was released on Rough Trade’s River Lea label on May 13th. Nine Waves was recorded in the Dublin Mountains at Hellfire Studios\, produced by John ‘Spud’ Murphy (whose previous work includes records by black midi\, Lankum and caroline). The album features 11 tracks of both traditional and original songs and tunes. The brotherly harmonies and multi-instrumental abilities of Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn were joined on Nine Waves by Kate Ellis (cello) and Caimin Gilmore (double bass)\, both members of the Irish contemporary classical group Crash Ensemble\, and Ryan Hargadon (Anna Mieke\, Rachael Lavelle\, Kojaque) on piano and saxophone. The record also features concertina from Cormac Begley and harmonium from regular touring member of Ye Vagabonds\, Alain McFadden.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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:Workshop / Seminar:MORE Committee Workshop (FACULTY): Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start
DESCRIPTION:Developed by the MORE Committee\, this workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles\, and consider strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then\, student-faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs\, goals\, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship. Among Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans\, 83 percent find those plans useful. Registration and attendance at the same workshop are required of both the faculty and the student. Separate registration for students is available at: https://myumi.ch/6167J.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Ann Lee\, Professor\, Department of Statistics & Data Science\, Carnegie Mellon University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Scientific inference often involves inferring internal key parameters that determine the outcome of a complex physical phenomenon. The data themselves may come in the form of a labeled set that implicitly encodes the likelihood function\; for example\, in the form of (i) pairs of parameters and observable data according to a mechanistic (simulator) model\, or as (ii) observed data and parameters 'measured' with high precision via an auxiliary experiment. We refer to inference in both intractable likelihood settings as \"Likelihood-Free Inference'\" (LFI). The application of neural density estimators and generative models to scientific LFI settings is becoming increasingly widespread. However\, high-posterior density (HPD) regions derived from these density estimators do not necessarily have a high probability of including the true parameter of interest\, even if the posterior is well-estimated and the labeled data have the same distribution as the target distribution. Furthermore\, if the prior distribution is poorly specified\, then the HPD regions could severely undercover and/or be biased\, thereby leading to misleading scientific conclusions. In this talk\, I will present new LFI methodology and algorithms for leveraging neural density estimators to produce confidence regions that have (i) nominal frequentist coverage for any value of the (unknown) parameter\, even with just one observation (sample size n=1)\, and (ii) smaller average area (yielding higher constraining power) if the prior is well-specified. I will illustrate our methods on examples from astronomy and high-energy physics\, and discuss where we stand and what challenges still remain.

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:Membrane Protein Folding: What Lipids Do?
DESCRIPTION:My talk addresses two questions regarding how the lipid bilayer environment in cells mediates folding and function of membrane proteins: 1) Is the lipid bilayer a good solvent for the denatured states of membrane proteins? 2) What is the role of lipid solvation in the stability and cooperativity of membrane proteins? We have developed an array of “steric trapping”-based methods to delineate the thermodynamic stability\, conformational features of the denatured states\, and residue interaction network of membrane proteins. Using the intramembrane protease GlpG of E. coli as a model\, we find that the bilayer environment 1) induces contraction but not collapse of the denatured state of GlpG\, 2) enhances the stability of the protein by facilitating the residue burial in the protein interior\, and 3) strengthens the residue-interaction network such that the whole residue-packed regions can act as a single cooperative unit. I will discuss how these properties shed light and cast shadows on the folding\, quality control\, and function of membrane proteins.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: The Impact of U-M’s First Observation of DT Fusion
DESCRIPTION:Bio:\nMark Chadwick is the Associate Laboratory Director for Los Alamos’ Simulation\, Computing & Theory (ALDSCT) directorate\, advancing the high-performance computing\, algorithms\, and theoretical science that underpin stockpile modernization and broader national security missions and AI and quantum discovery science. He previously served as interim Los Alamos Deputy Director for Science\, Technology & Engineering and as chief scientist/operating officer for Weapons Physics. He also served as program director for National Nuclear Security Administration experimental science programs and as division leader for simulation codes in ALDX.  Chadwick has led the US nuclear data evaluation collaboration Evaluated Nuclear Data Files (ENDF) for almost three decades\, creating the world’s highest-fidelity databases used worldwide in radiation transport codes\, including the Laboratory’s Monte Carlo N-Particle code. Chadwick is an APS\, ANS and LANL Fellow. He has published articles on technical fission and fusion history as well as in nuclear science.\n\nAbstract :\nI describe the history of fusion\, from a crucial breakthrough at Michigan in 1938 (that had been forgotten) through Los Alamos’s pioneering fusion measurements in the 1940s-1950s\, to the modern quest for controlled fusion energy. I will describe how UM’s first observation of DT fusion helped launch Oppenheimer and Teller’s drive for harnessing fusion.  I will also explain how DT fusion created 10^67 J of energy 13.8 billion years ago. \n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Settlement Organization and Interaction in the Upper Belize River Valley: The View from Ek Tzul
DESCRIPTION:Decades of settlement survey in the upper Belize River Valley of western Belize have revealed a multi-tier site hierarchy of ruling elites\, intermediate elites\, and commoners of varying status. The large temples at the polity capitals have drawn archaeological attention since the early 20th century resulting in a wealth of knowledge on how the ruling elites of ancient Maya society lived. Yet comparatively little work has examined how intermediate elites\, those who occupy the middle zone between the rulers and the commoners\, functioned and the strategies they employed to retain favor with both their overlords and supporters. Excavations and survey over the last four years at the previously unrecorded secondary center of Ek Tzul attempt to answer these questions. The result is a better understanding of how the ancient Maya of the upper Belize Valley interacted at both the local and regional level and how the intermediate elites of Ek Tzul mediated these interactions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Realizing the potential of community-led\, science-driven participatory modeling: A case in green infrastructure planning
DESCRIPTION:Participatory modeling (PM) is particularly well-suited to address complex socio-environmental problems like climate hazards and their implications on sustainable resource management and landscape planning. Despite its potential to inform planning and policy\, particularly in conflictive contexts\, PM has yet to become a mainstream practice for decision-making. While most of the PM research and development has focused on modeling tools and engagement techniques\, multiple other dimensions must be recognized and articulated for impactful planning support. I present a PM platform\, Fora.ai\, that is supportive of the iterative steps in PM: problem definition and goal setting\, preference elicitation\, collaborative scenario-building\, simulation\, tradeoff deliberation\, and solution-building. I demonstrate the platform’s effectiveness when embedded in a stakeholder-led process that integrates diverse knowledge\, data sources\, and values in pursuit of impactful green infrastructure (GI) planning to address flooding. I show how the combination of specific facilitation practices and platform features leveraged the power of data\, computational modeling\, and social complexity to contribute to collaborative learning\, creative and convergent solution-building for urban sustainability and climate resilience.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Ehrhart h*-polynomials of positroid polytopes (combinatorics seminar)
DESCRIPTION:A positroid is a matroid realized by a matrix such that all maximal minors are non-negative. Positroid polytopes are matroid polytopes of positroids. In particular\, they are lattice polytopes. The Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope counts the number of integer points in the dilation of that polytope. The Ehrhart series is the generating function of the Ehrhart polynomial\, which is a rational function with the numerator called the h^*-polynomial. We compute the h^*-polynomials of an arbitrary positroid polytope by a family of shelling orders of it. We also compute the h^*-polynomial of any positroid polytope with some facets removed\, and we relate it to the descents of permutations. Our result generalizes that of Early\, Kim\, and Li for hypersimplices.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Discrete Ricci Curvatures for Hypernetworks
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  We present a brief overview of some notions of discrete curvatures for hypernetworks. In particular\, we focus on the adaptation of the Forman-Ricci curvature to the hypernetworks setting\, and its applications to genetic networks\, more specifically to the understanding of dynamics pluripotent stem cells and cancer cells. We next concentrate on Ollivier-Ricci curvature based hypernetworks curvatures\, and in particular on a newly proposed Ricci curvature for hypernetworks stemming from the generalized Wasserstein distance of Piccoli and Rossi and motivated\, again\, by biological networks.\n\nContact:  Indika Rajapakse

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: The Cone Theorem and the Classification of Threefold Contractions
DESCRIPTION:The Cone Theorem describes the cone of effective curves on a projective variety by showing that all K_X-negative directions are generated by extremal rays spanned by rational curves. We will discuss how these rays correspond to specific geometric contractions—divisorial contractions\, fiber spaces\, and flips—which drive the Minimal Model Program. Finally\, we use a projective threefold example to show how rational curves explicitly determine the possible contractions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Broxton Bird
DESCRIPTION:Increased midcontinental United States flooding in recent decades has been attributed to increasing annual precipitation and more frequent extreme rainfall events. But whether or not these trends reflect natural climate flood dynamics is difficult to determine because the modern landscape has been fundamentally altered by human activities and instrumental climate and stream discharge records typically span less than 100 years. In this talk I will present data from midcontinental kettle and floodplain lake sediment archives that respectively preserve long-term information about past climate and flooding regimes. The data show that climate-flood relationships prior to Euro-American settlement were dependent on a stream’s watershed size. Specifically\, medium to small watersheds (10\,000s km2 to 100s km2) were sensitive to the frequency of rainstorm events\, whereas large watersheds (>100\,000’s km2) were sensitive to spring snowmelt intensity. The current trend toward increased flooding on streams of all sizes reflects a departure from “natural” climate-flood dynamics that is driven in large part by human landscape modifications. Continued increases annual precipitation and extreme rainfall events are\, therefore\, likely further exacerbate flooding in the midcontinental US.

SUMMARY:Performance:Wynton Marsalis's \"The Jungle\"
DESCRIPTION:In October 2022\, UMS hosted an intensive weeklong residency with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra that included two concerts\, a School Day Performance\, multiple residency activities on and off campus\, and a halftime performance at the Michigan football game. While a February residency precludes an appearance on the 50-yard line\, we’re thrilled that Wynton and his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will return for another distinctive UMS residency this year.\n\nMarsalis’s Symphony No. 4\, “The Jungle\,” was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premiered in December 2016\; it has only been performed three times in the US since it was written. The six-movement symphony for jazz band and orchestra takes the dense mosaic of New York City as its inspiration. Marsalis’s masterwork highlights the paradoxes that define New York City\, where wealth and poverty\, grit and romance\, and unlimited growth and stagnation all coexist. But it’s also a meditation on what being human means today — a wide-scale attempt to understand the maelstrom of modern life and remind us all what brings us together.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ronnie Baker Brooks
DESCRIPTION:“Soul never sounded so delicious. And the blues never sounded so profound…one of today’s top live performers.” –Blues Music Magazine\n\nChicago guitarist\, vocalist\, songwriter and multiple Blues Music Award-winner Ronnie Baker Brooks is one of the city’s—and the world’s—most undeniably talented and electrifying bluesmen.

He is among the few contemporary blues artists who learned his craft directly from many of the genre’s icons\, including Albert Collins\, B.B. King\, Willie Dixon\, Koko Taylor and\, most significantly\, his father. “I’m blessed to have played with and learned from the best. I’m carrying them within me\,” he says of all the legends he knew growing up and the journey he’s been on.

SUMMARY:Performance:Billy King
DESCRIPTION:An original blend of rootsy folk/pop with an occasional touch of country swing.\n\nIn the early 1990s\, Billy led his two-member band\, the preteen King Brothers\, to local fame in the Ann Arbor area\, performing regularly and releasing five albums of mostly original material. Still living and working on the family farm\, Billy has continued writing and recording\, and\, with his brother\, started Holler Fest\, a three-day music festival featuring Michigan artists.\n\nBilly’s versatility as a multi-genre singer-songwriter is matched by his ability on a wide range of instruments from guitar and banjo to keyboards and accordion. \n\nWithin the songwriting community\, he is well-known for his musicianship and originality. In 2007\, his composition\, \"I Don't Write Love Songs\,\" was awarded the Grand Prize in the Great Lakes Songwriting Contest. Influenced by master songwriters such as Bob Dylan\, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon\, Billy crafts melodically compelling songs that maintain a sense of the timeless and classic. Sometimes catchy folk/rock\, sometimes searing blues\, but always direct and thoughtful lyrics - this is original music from an original life\, fully accomplished yet humble\, and most of all real.

SUMMARY:Performance:Crystal Bowersox
DESCRIPTION:“She has a keen\, finely honed pop instinct all her own” –The New York Times\n\nCrystal Bowersox\, a northwest Ohio native\, has built her world around music. By the age of 10\, she was performing in local clubs and venues. On the cusp of 18 and with a curious heart\, Crystal moved to Chicago\, IL\, where she spent her days busking on subway platforms between working odd jobs and attending school. \n\nChicago’s rich musical history helped Bowersox to broaden her musical horizons. Ultimately\, Bowersox auditioned for the ninth season of American Idol\, and her time on the show proved to be well spent. In 2010\, her debut album\, “Farmer’s Daughter” was released on Jive Records and since\, she has since released 3 LP’s\, two EPs\, several singles\, and is currently developing a theatrical rock concert titled\, \"Trauma Queen\". Crystal has recorded and performed alongside several notable names and additionally\, has used her voice and talents to benefit several organizations close to her heart.

DESCRIPTION:Ann Arbor’s Brain Plasticity Ukulele Collective is a proudly intergenerational group\, sharing instruments\, knowledge\, kindness\, and talent across eras. Instruments you might hear in the music of the collective include not only ukuleles but also guitar\, flute\, percussion\, harmonica\, accordion\, mandolin\, mandola\, bass\, piano\, and melodica. The group is inspired by the idea that music cuts across diverse cognitive capabilities and resources\, including numeracy\, language\, and space perception.\n\nMike Brooks\, veteran blues guitar player/singer/songwriter from the UK has been playing guitar since the age of 10\, and professionally since the age of 16. His musical career and accolades are many and varied\, but include hitting the UK charts in 1979 (#28 on “the New Wave of British Heavy Metal” despite being a blues band)\, getting a cease and desist order from Walt Disney Corp for using a band name too close to that of a cartoon mouse\, opening for bands such as the Yardbirds\, the Animals\, Wishbone Ash and Nine Below Zero\, and playing in some of the most famous venues anywhere such as London’s Marquee\, and\, well\, The Ark! In addition to leading BLUESHOUSE and fronting the Brain Plasticity Ukulele Collective\, he also works with Ann Arbor’s youth at the Neutral Zone\, a continuation of a youth music project begun in the UK called Electric896\, which taught disengaged youth how to rock the blues.

SUMMARY:Performance:Esther Rose
DESCRIPTION:New music!\n\nEsther Rose was on a long solo drive when she started writing the opening title track of Want\, her stunning fifth album. At first\, the words seemed almost like a joke\, something to keep herself amused as the miles passed. “I want a puppy\, but I don't want a mess. I want to know where I’m going without GPS\,” she sang from behind the wheel. Soon\, the idea snowballed into a list of desires that spanned existential\, spiritual\, and mundane\; romantic to platonic to familial\; at once wildly ambitious yet piercingly relatable\; all set to a catchy melody that blends her pop instincts with country storytelling and the raw immediacy of a basement punk show. In other words\, she was on her way to another classic Esther Rose song.\n\nThis precise blend has made the Santa Fe-based artist one of her generation’s most beloved songwriters: someone whose live shows are known to conclude in mass tears and group hugs. Still\, something was different this time. “For me\, these songs felt like revelations\,” she explains\, comparing the 11-song record to a memoir\, alive with kinetic storytelling and personal insight. In its newly direct and stirringly nuanced writing\, you’ll hear about rock bottom encounters\, shifting relationships with substances\, evolving perspectives on adult partnership\, and\, as evidenced by those early lines in “Want\,” a few jokes along the way. Vivid and bracing\, Want places you in the passenger seat while each of these feelings arrive.\n\nTo match the multi-dimensional tone of the writing\, Rose has made the most adventurous\, hardest-hitting record of her career. Working with producer Ross Farbe and recording live-to-tape in Nashville’s Bomb Shelter\, she travels as far as she’s been from the stripped-down classic country of celebrated early work like 2017’s This Time Last Night and 2019’s You Made It This Far. Following the wide-open serenity of 2023’s momentous Safe to Run\, she now leans toward confrontational arrangements full of distortion and full-band spontaneity\, never sacrificing a classicist’s gift for melody that makes each song instantly memorable.
