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:Workshop / Seminar:When Values Collide: Dialogue Across Generations
DESCRIPTION:When Values Collide: Dialogue Across Generations is an interactive workshop that explores how generational experiences and value systems shape difficult conversations in classrooms\, workplaces\, and communities. Participants will examine how ideas about respect\, identity\, responsibility\, and communication influence dialogue across differences.\n\nThrough guided discussion\, reflective activities\, and dialogue practice\, the workshop encourages curiosity\, perspective-taking\, and open inquiry rather than debate or persuasion. Drawing from dialogue facilitation and nervous system awareness\, the session helps participants engage in more grounded and constructive conversations while developing a deeper understanding of how generational positionality\, lived experience\, and social context shape the beliefs and worldviews people hold.\n\nDIALOGUE MICHIGAN\nThis event is part of Dialogue Michigan's 2026-2027 faculty and staff workshops.

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:Performance:Much Ado About Nothing
DESCRIPTION:Department of Musical Theatre students demonstrate their acting skills in this non-musical studio production of the play *Much Ado About Nothing*\, one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved and oft-performed comedies. When the soldiers of Don Pedro’s army return to Messina\, Italy\, romance is not far behind for young lovers Claudio and Hero. With the arrival of Don Pedro’s brother Don John\, however\, comes a plot that threatens to ruin their romance before it has a chance to really begin. Intertwined with this plot is the witty banter of Benedick and Beatrice\, who are drawn to and repulsed by each other in equal measure.  \n\nWritten by William Shakespeare\nDirected by Jess Bogart\n

More recently with the onset of automated praxis through generative AI\, her work explores the affordances and challenges of digitised and platform labour\, particularly for marginalised practitioners and independent creators. Nessa’s research is grounded in critical approaches to the embedding of diversity practices in the media industries. She is co-author of the upcoming book Race\, Racism and Diversity in the Cultural and Creative Industries (2025)\, which focuses on the business case for diversity\, specifically since the commercialisation of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.\n\nAshleigh Greene Wade is Associate Professor of Digital Studies\, jointly appointed in Media Studies and African American Studies.

An alumna of the London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP)\, Dr. Walcott earned her PhD in Digital Humanities at King's College London for her research on Black (and specifically Black British) communication practices and digital media\, locating the evolution of a hybrid ‘Black British’ identity within the wider Black diaspora. She combines digital research\, Black feminist praxis\, decolonial studies\, arts and culture\, and mental health advocacy in her work. In the time left over\, she moonlights as a jazz singer.\n\nMeet the Moderator\n\nCatherine Knight Steele is an Associate Professor of Communication at the University of Maryland - College Park where she directs the Black Communication and Technology lab (BCaT) as a part of the Digital Inquiry\, Speculation\, Collaboration\, & Optimism (DISCO) Network funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. She is a 2024-26 Just Tech Fellow. Her research focuses on race\, gender\, and media\, with a specific emphasis on Black culture and discourse and digital communication.
