SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Annihilation of Caste: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the Making of a Radical Dalit Humanism
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. If you would like to attend via Zoom\, registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/Mpp5R\n\nThis talk focuses on the intellectual and formidable anti-caste leader Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s (1891–1956) multi-pronged – social\, cultural and political – strategies of creating manuski (human dignity)\, dharmantar (religious conversion) and respectable samaj (community) in a doubly colonial – British and brahmanical context. To Ambedkar\, the larger Indian society denied manuski to Dalits. The caste mechanism restricted Dalits claims to personhood as Dalit humanity itself was constituted as a state of injury and punishment. The consequences were particularly dangerous for Dalit women lacking even minimal security. As a result\, Ambedkar and his associates focused on both—external and internal—changes to cultivate manuski. Ambedkar constituted a new Dalit woman through these inner resources and interrelated ideas of an intrinsically caring and civilized humanity. He along with his associates robustly worked on a multi-pronged strategy—social\, educational\, political\, legal\, and religious\, to regenerate Dalits and not merely reform them like in the case of elite touchable reformers.\n\nShailaja Paik is Charles Phelps Taft Distinguished Professor of History and affiliate faculty in women’s\, Gender\, and sexuality studies\, sociology\, and Asian studies at the University of Cincinnati. She is a 2024 MacArthur Foundation “genius” Fellow. Paik is also the founding executive director of the Institute for Just Futures. Her work analyzes the politics of caste\, gender\, class\, and sexuality\, by focusing on the ideas\, actions\, and lives of Dalits (“Untouchables”). She is the author of the prestigious awards-winning book *The Vulgarity of Caste: Dalits\, Sexuality\, and Humanity* (Stanford University Press\, 2022) and *Dalit Women's Education in Modern India: Double Discrimination* (Routledge\, 2014). Paik is co-editing the *Cambridge Companion to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar* (forthcoming) and *Caste\, Race\, and Indigeneity in South Asia and Beyond* (Forthcoming Routledge). Her research is funded by the MacArthur Foundation\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, the Stanford Humanities Center\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the American Institute of Indian Studies\, Yale University\, Emory University\, the Ford Foundation\, and the Charles Phelps Taft Research Center\, among others. Paik has published several articles on a variety of themes\, including kissing and nationalism\, the politics of naming\, Dalit and African American women’s solidarity\, Dalit women’s education\, and new Dalit womanhood in colonial India. Her scholarship and research interests are concerned with contributing to and furthering the dialogue in anti-race\, anti-caste\, and anti-patriarchy\, human rights\, anti-colonial struggles\, transnational women’s history\, and women-of-color feminisms.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Transatlantic Slave Trade & the (Multi) Racial Origins of Early Black Print in Ghana
DESCRIPTION:Understanding how Afro-Europeans came to play leading roles in establishing the African-owned press in colonial Ghana\, and why they introduced race as the primary language of political protest in their newspapers requires reaching back to the late fifteenth century when the social world of the transatlantic slave trade first began to take shape. Two features of this social world—interracial sexual relationships between African women and European men and the concomitant growth of an Afro-European population that remained embedded in African society—were key drivers of the process of racialization unleashed by the transatlantic slave trade. This process would evolve over the course of four centuries in ways that gave Afro-European men the social positionality\, financial resources\, and political impetus to be the first founders of African-owned newspapers in colonial Ghana. Their newspapers reveal a late-nineteenth-century West African epistemology of blackness that stretched beyond its elite (primarily) Afro-European origins as literacy rates grew\, newspaper publishing expanded\, and the language of race became a politically consequential medium in the twentieth century that enabled dissent and shaped how Africans in the colony’s growing public sphere debated and fought for political futures defined not by their colonizers\, but by themselves.\n\nCarina Ray is a scholar of race and sexuality\; comparative colonialisms and nationalisms\; migration and maritime history\; print cultures\; bodily aesthetics\, and the relationship between race\, ethnicity\, and political power. Ray’s research is primarily focused on Ghana and its diasporas. She is the author of Crossing the Color Line: Race\, Sex\, and the Contested Politics of Colonialism in Ghana\, winner of the American Historical Association's 2016 Wesley-Logan Book Prize and the African Studies Association's 2017 Aidoo-Snyder Book Prize. Her articles have appeared in Gender and History\, PMLA\, The Journal of West African History\, and The American Historical Review\, among others. She is series co-editor of New African Histories (Ohio University Press) with Jacob Dlamini and Derek Peterson\, and African Identities: Past and Present (Cambridge University Press) with Toyin Falola. Ray previously served as series editor of Ohio Short Histories of Africa (Ohio University Press) with Dan Magaziner\, Michelle Moyd\, and Moses Ochunu\; as editor of Ghana Studies\; and as a member of the Board of Editors for The American Historical Review.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
