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

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

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

Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121552 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Write To You About Africa DESCRIPTION:Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections\, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. \n \nFeaturing a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists\, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa\, Masimba Hwati\, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North\, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.\n \nArt collections\, by their very nature\, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa\, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.\n \nDrawn from art collections across the U-M campus\, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists\, scholars\, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards\, in their first language\, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. \n \nWe Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, and the African Studies Center.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Art,Exhibition,Language,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil? You’ll touch some real fossils\, learn the different types of fossil evidence\, and discover what is necessary to become a fossil. Finally\, we’ll discuss what kinds of things fossils can tell us\, and how fossil casts are made in the museum.\n\nSpecial demos on February 15 and 16.

This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

Find out what an owl pellet is (Hint: it's not poop!) and dissect a real owl pellet to learn about the owl's diet. Come and discover the role of these birds of prey in the food chain!\n\nSpecial demos on February 15 and 16.

PFC William Santiago\, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit\, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable.\n\nDefending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee\, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow\; Sam Weinberg\, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies\; and Joanne Galloway\, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced\, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.\n\n\nWritten by Aaron Sorkin\nDirected by Geoff Packard\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+ UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250223T181536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition Tour — Jarod Lew: Strange You Never Knew with Curator Jennifer Friess DESCRIPTION:Join exhibition curator Jennifer Friess for a tour of Jarod Lew’s first solo museum exhibition\, \"Strange You Never Knew.\" Jarod Lew explores the limits and potential of knowing—knowing who you are\, knowing your family history\, and knowing your place in a community. \"Strange You Never Knew\" explores how photography can function as a repository of personal and communal histories.

No prior experience is necessary and all are welcome.\n\nWhat is Heartfulness Meditation?\n\nHeartfulness is about feeling. Our entire life is led by feelings and inspirations\, and that is the role of the heart. When we manage to listen to the heart and capture the inspiration that comes from within\, we learn to master our life. The whole exercise of fine-tuning the heart with the mind is through meditation on the heart\, and that is why it is called Heartfulness Meditation.

But these artifacts can give much insight into the lives of people in the ancient world. Francis Kelsey\, the museum’s namesake\, was forward-thinking in his approach to archaeology\, and as a result\, the Kelsey has wonderful collections of everyday items used by people from the ancient Mesopotamian\, Egyptian\, and Roman worlds—items their previous owners never would have expected to be protected behind glass. During this tour\, we will discuss how these items were used (and recycled) and how they were preserved for thousands of years. We will be looking at trash and treasure alike. After all\, it is in the eye of the beholder!\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors.

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

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

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

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

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

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

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

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

The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds. As part of Lenhart's American Women Concert Series\, this recital program celebrates the life\, legacy & music of Lesley Gore (1946-2015).\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible.

This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Advancements in exposure assessments and statistical tools have enabled a shift towards studying the combined health impact of multiple exposures. This presentation will describe the use of approximate Gaussian process regression and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) to flexibly characterize exposure-response functions. These approaches aim to address the computational challenges associated with Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and some parametric assumptions associated with quantile g-computation (qcomp). We apply these methods in several population-based epidemiologic studies to estimate health effects of ambient air pollution on emergency department visits and birth weight in Georgia\, as well as an extension to identify heterogeneous health effects of heat waves. We will also describe challenges and approaches in visualizing and summarizing these complex exposure-response surfaces. Finally\, we will discuss some practical and methodological issues related to the analysis of multiple environmental exposures.

Weakly interacting and uncharged\, they propagate undeterred and unabsorbed through the universe. In the last decade\, the IceCube experiment has brought us the discovery of a flux of high-energy\, TeV-scale neutrinos and through a multi-messenger lens — the combined observations of neutrinos and other messengers like photons — we are starting to see hints of energetic neutrino sources for the first time. At higher energies still\, beyond the PeV scale\, we can probe the most energetic sources of both neutrinos and cosmic rays\, but current neutrino experiments become too small to observe a sizable flux. Radio experiments can achieve the large exposures necessary by taking advantage of the coherent broadband radio emission resulting from ultra-high-energy (E>10^17 eV) neutrino interactions as well as the large volumes visible from high elevations. In this talk\, I will review results from current and future high-elevation radio experiments\, with a particular focus on Earth-skimming tau neutrinos and cosmic ray air showers as observed with balloon-borne and mountaintop experiments.

Some of the topics they will discuss include: writing as the means to access and widen those subjects one is unfamiliar with\, the spectrum of the diasporic experience as it relates to both language and time\, and what it means to discover and trust one’s writerly process.\n\nThere will be an audience Q&A after the in-conversation. Literati Bookstore will be on-site to facilitate a book signing following the conclusion of the event. We look forward to seeing you there!\n\nAbout the book:\n\nHow many times in life can we start over without losing ourselves?\n\nSwimming Back to Trout River traces the far-flung orbits of a family across two continents\, and explores the themes of music and migration in the aftermath of one of China’s most tumultuous eras in the twentieth century.\n\nIn the summer of 1986\, in a small Chinese village where she lives with her grandparents\, ten-year-old Junie receives a momentous letter from her parents\, who had left for America years ago: her father promises to return home and collect her by her twelfth birthday. But Junie’s growing determination to stay put in the idyllic countryside with her beloved grandparents threatens to derail her family’s shared future.\n\nJunie doesn’t know that her parents\, Momo and Cassia\, are newly estranged from one another in their adopted country. While Momo grapples anew with his deferred musical ambitions and dreams for Junie’s future in America\, Cassia finally begins to wrestle with a shocking act of brutality from years ago. For Momo to fulfill his promise\, he must make one last desperate attempt to reunite all three family members before Junie’s birthday—even if it means bringing painful family secrets to light.\n\nSwimming Back to Trout River is a “symphony of a novel” (BookPage) that reveals the hopes\, compromises\, and abiding ingenuity that make up the lives of immigrants. It “weaves a plot both surprising and inevitable\, with not a word to spare” (Booklist\, starred review).\n\nLinda Rui Feng\, Ph.D\, is both a practitioner and researcher of imaginative storytelling. At the University of Toronto\, her work in Chinese cultural history takes her to narratives from the ninth century and\, more recently\, to the history of scent and aromatics.

I created large symmetric protein assemblies through the rigid helical fusion of smaller protein chains and later expanded this approach to design disordered system-wide protein networks with unique mechano-fluidic properties inside and outside of cells. Using these de novo protein complexes\, I developed a soluble agonist for Notch signaling\, a key pathway in cell development and immune function.\n\nDesigning a ‘cytokine-like’ soluble Notch agonist has been a long-standing challenge because Notch signaling typically requires direct cell-cell contact and mechanical pulling. After successfully designing this agonist\, I uncovered its mechanism of action and applied it in T cell development from hematopoietic stem cells in a bioreactor\, advancing cell-based therapies. The agonist also boosted T cell function in vivo by expanding antigen-specific T cells during vaccination and promoting antibody class switching\, demonstrating significant promise as an immunotherapy.\n\nIn my future lab\, I will use computational tools to design complex heteromeric protein assemblies rarely found in nature. I aim to explore their vast potential in controlling cellular signaling\, particularly in immune and stem cells\, to develop innovative therapies.

While emotion AI is critiqued for associated scientific validity\, bias\, and surveillance concerns\, it continues to be patented\, developed\, and used without public debate\, resistance\, or regulation.\n\nIn this talk\, I highlight some of my research group's work focusing on the workplace to discuss: 1) how emotion AI technologies are conceived of by their inventors and what values are embedded in their design\, and 2) the perspectives of the humans who produce the data that make emotion AI possible\, and whose experiences are shaped by these technologies: data subjects. I argue that emotion AI is not just technical\, it is sociotechnical\, political\, and enacts/shifts power. I show how emotion AI could harm the very conditions its advocates promise it will improve (e.g.\, worker wellbeing\, work conditions)\, rendering it a problematic choice for addressing structural challenges workers face in the workplace. I conclude that even with technical reforms (e.g.\, reducing biases\, improving accuracy) many emotion AI-inflicted harms (e.g.\, emotional labor\, privacy harms) would persist.\n\nNazanin Andalibi is an assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan and is an affiliate faculty member at the university’s Digital Studies Institute\; Center for Ethics\, Society\, and Computing\; and Center for Social Media Responsibility. As a social computing and human-computer interaction (HCI) scholar\, her research examines how marginality is experienced\, enacted\, facilitated\, or disrupted in and as mediated through sociotechnical systems such as artificial intelligence and social media. For example\, a central theme of her research examines the privacy\, ethical\, justice\, and policy implications of emotion AI technologies in high-stakes contexts including the workplace\, job interviews\, social media\, and health care.

Originally from San Felipe\, TX (population 868)\, Cedric made his first appearance at the age of 19 at the Zydeco Jam at The Big Easy in Houston\, TX. Just two years later\, he moved to south Louisiana\, quickly immersing himself in French music and language. Cedric has performed French music in 17 countries and on 7 full-length albums with various groups\, including the Pine Leaf Boys\, Corey Ledet\, Les Amis Creole with Ed Poullard and J.B. Adams\, and with his own group\, Bijou Creole. Cedric’s music resurrects the ancient sounds of the French and Spanish contra dance and bourré alongside the spiritual rhythms of the Congo tribes of West Africa\, who were sold as slaves in the Caribbean and Louisiana by the French and Spanish. \n\nRev. Robert Jones\, Sr. has been a professional musician for more than forty years. The legendary blues man\, Willie Dixon encouraged him to bring his music into schools over 35 years ago\, and The National Blues Foundation recognized his work as a leading blues educator in 2007. An award-winning multi-instrumentalist\, he is accomplished on guitar\, harmonica\, mandolin\, banjo\, fiddle and ukulele. Robert is the former host of the award-winning radio programs “Blues from the Lowlands” and “Deep River” broadcast on Detroit Public Radio’s WDET-FM Detroit. He has taught music history courses at Wayne State University in Detroit\, and he serves as a member of the affiliate faculty at Boston’s Berklee School of Music.\n​\nMark Palms is mostly self-taught\; a musician who chased the heritage of traditional music after college and studied knee-to-knee with old-time\, bluegrass and Cajun musicians.

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

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

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

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

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

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

This practice has yielded very different conclusions about the extent of intergenerational persistence in the United States\, with estimates ranging from .64 for neighborhood mobility to as low as .32 for occupation. We utilize the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to develop latent variables we term “origin profile” and “destination profile” based on five indicators: occupation\, income\, education\, wealth\, and neighborhood socioeconomic status. We find that Black White disparities in mobility between origin and destination profiles are quite profound.\n\nLearn more and RSVP: https://inequality.umich.edu/janeria-easley/ UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132772 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,Discussion,Economics,Education,Inequality,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 2030 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250206T143714 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Big Heart Blood Battle DESCRIPTION:Help the University of Michigan beat Penn State\, Michigan State\, and Wisconsin in the annual Winter Battle\, hosted by Blood Drives United\, in which Big Ten schools compete to see who can raise the most pints of blood!

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121552 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Write To You About Africa DESCRIPTION:Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections\, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. \n \nFeaturing a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists\, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa\, Masimba Hwati\, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North\, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.\n \nArt collections\, by their very nature\, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa\, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.\n \nDrawn from art collections across the U-M campus\, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists\, scholars\, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards\, in their first language\, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. \n \nWe Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, and the African Studies Center.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Art,Exhibition,Language,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Most existing methods rely on the assumption of no unmeasured confounding to establish causal inferences before proceeding with decision-making for identifying the optimal individualized treatment rule (ITR). However\, this assumption is often violated in practice\, especially in observational studies. While techniques like instrumental variables or proxy variables can help address unmeasured confounding\, such additional data sources are not always available. Moreover\, robustly learning the optimal ITR from observational data is challenging when data are unbalanced\, where certain combinations of treatments and patient characteristics are underrepresented. In this talk\, I will introduce a novel Bayesian approach to robustly learn the optimal ITR for continuous treatments under unmeasured confounding. For causal identification\, we propose a Bayesian causal model that achieves unique identification under certain mild distributional assumptions\, without requiring additional data sources. For policy optimization\, we develop a practical algorithm that robustly learns the optimal ITR by identifying a conservative policy. Through simulations and an application to a large-scale kidney transplantation dataset\, we demonstrate the proposed method’s identifiability\, utility\, and robustness\, highlighting its value in advancing precision medicine.\nNOTE: Lunch will be provided after the seminar for all attendees.

Therefore\, they can serve as a recent analogue for modern biodiversity loss. In this talk\, I will present on my dissertation research which looked at the impacts of these extinctions on the biomass and energy use of 652 fossil assemblages from across the globe.\nBoth metrics were greatly reduced after the extinctions and the biogeographical distribution of energy-use patterns was fundamentally altered in ways that relate to the development of agriculture and animal domestications in the Holocene. Fascinating relationships between assemblage energy use and species richness are also explored. Overall\, this talk will give new insights into how humans have impacted mammal communities over the past 130\,000 years.

Focusing on personnel management practices\, we examine empirical patterns of personnel flow across the party and government sectors in a large Chinese bureaucracy. Our findings show that noticeable variations across administrative levels and functional areas. We account for these observed patterns in light of the interplay between the logic of political control and incentive provision\, mediated by other organizational mechanisms.\n \n Xueguang Zhou is a professor of sociology\, the Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Economic Development\, a senior fellow at Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies\, and the faculty director of the Center for East Asian Studies\, Stanford University. His book *The Logic of Governance in China: An Organizational Approach* (Cambridge University Press\, 2022) summarizes his decade-long research on the institutional logic and practice of governance in contemporary China.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk: My older brother David was found dead in his car in San Francisco in late July 2021. Unsure how to grieve for someone who I mostly knew as an abusive\, sexist\, homophobic\, drug addict and alcoholic\, I turned to old family photos to make sense of things. Among a cache of photos in which he is either conspicuously absent or appears moody\, dissociated\, or stoned\, I stumble upon two unexpected photos of David circa 1984. He is fourteen years old\, holding baby me on his hip\, and gleefully grinning ear to ear. He is donning a brunette wig and wearing a short\, sleeveless baby blue dress. Wherein the other photos in this family archive show a brooding teen marinating in a stupor of anger\, drugs\, and alcohol\, in these photos David is energetic\, lighthearted\, and radiating joy. It was not until after his death that I understood my brother’s life for what it was: an act. The toxically masculine persona I knew of him functioned as a defensive performance of heterosexuality and whiteness\, an elaborate act to distract from his queerness and his Arabness. *The Act *is a documentary film which takes David’s life and death as a plot device through which to examine the effects of anti-Arab racism\, sexism\, and homophobia on Arab Americans (queer and otherwise). \n\nUmayyah Cable is a 2024-25 Richard & Lillian Ives Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assistant Professor of American Culture and Film\, Television\, & Media.

Given a discrete valuation ring (V\, t)\, the polynomial ring V[x1\, ... \, xn] is zn-graded by multidegree in the variables\, and up to multi-plication by a unit the homogeneous elements are of the form tm0x7{1'1... x\;\;in. We call these elements t-monomials. Likewise\, the Laurent polynomial ring L[xf1\, ... \, x\;1] over the frac- tion field L of V is a zn-graded V-algebra whose homogeneous elements are t-monomials\, up to a unit in V. We define t-Stanley-Reisner rings\, t-semigroup rings\, and t-toric face rings by replacing monomials with t-monomials in the definitions of Stanley-Reisner rings\, semigroup rings\, and toric face rings\, respectively.\n\nEvaluation at t induces an algebraically well-behaved bijection between t-monomials and monomials in one extra variable\; we exploit this bijection to prove results about our new ring classes by comparison to the original versions. This technique is particularly useful to study open questions which are known for equicharacteristic. As a case study\, we demonstrate that the Q-Sequence Conjecture of Hochster and Zhang (proven in equicharacteristic by Hochster and Huneke) holds for all three of these new ring classes.

For over 12\,000 years\, this region has supported diverse ecosystems and communities\, from Indigenous groups to early industries like cotton\, timber\, and fishing. The area now faces mounting challenges\, however: the impacts of climate and the subsequent loss of historical sites threaten the preservation of these communities’ stories. Ranking as one of Florida’s most under-resourced areas\, there is an urgent need to document and preserve the region’s heritage while fostering connections with its current residents.\n\nThis webinar will spotlight the \"People of the Apalachicola System\" project\, which combines archaeological research\, digital modeling\, and innovative community engagement to understand and protect the area’s cultural landscape within the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve. Participants will learn about the project’s approach\, including methods for engaging local voices through workshops and surveys\, as well as how these efforts address threats to heritage resources. The webinar will also share preliminary findings\, highlight effective strategies for fostering collaboration\, and explore how these lessons can guide future preservation and education initiatives in similar at-risk areas. Join the session to discover how heritage and community are coming together to protect the stories of Apalachicola’s past and shape its future!

But for many people in many places\, it didn’t feel like a “super year” for democracy. This roundtable takes stock of what we learned from a year when a whopping 4 billion people – half the world’s population\, from America to India to Mexico to South Africa – had the opportunity to vote. Are elections mostly fulfilling their democratic promise\, or increasingly ushering authoritarian politicians into power? And what beyond elections is most urgently needed to strengthen global democracy in the years to come?\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Understanding these phenomena experimentally requires both ideal material platforms that host them and advanced measurement techniques that can access their quantum degrees of freedom. The first part of my presentation focuses on correlated electronic phenomena in rhombohedral graphene multilayers\, demonstrating their potential as a powerful platform for studying macroscopic quantum phenomena. The second part of the talk shifts focus to superconducting quantum circuits and their interaction with mechanical systems. I will present the observation of interface piezoelectricity in aluminum–silicon junctions\, which is an unexpected decoherence channel in superconducting qubits. Finally\, I will discuss the potential of superconducting quantum circuits and nanomechanical systems as novel tools for characterizing complex macroscopic quantum phenomena in condensed matters.

How did literary texts from this time capture this evolving and complex olfactory world? How were the experiences of smell\, and curated scents in particular\, described\, classified and distinguished? This talk delves into the connoisseurial language associated with curated aromatics (香) in prose narratives from the ninth and tenth centuries\, to examine how such language improvised and adapted vocabulary from related senses in order to capture these airborne and elusive sensory experiences.

In our study of metal halide perovskite nanostructures\, we found some interesting fundamental changes in properties when the size is varied from >4 nm for perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) to <2 nm for perovskite magic sized clusters (PMSCs) and even slightly smaller ligand-assisted metal halide molecular clusters (MHMCs) with much stronger quantum confinement effect (QCE)\, as exemplified by cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) and methylammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3). Besides the expected blue shift in absorption and emission with decreasing size due to QCE\, the photoluminescence quantum yield and excited state lifetime decrease generally with decreasing size\, attributed to increased surface defects as well as changes in the electronic band structure with size. In addition\, both the PMSCs and MHMCs are found to exhibit intrinsic chiral property based on circular dichroism (CD) spectra while the corresponding PQDs do not. Possible explanations for the origin of the chirality include asymmetry induced by liquid-liquid interface. Chiral nanoclusters are potentially useful for emerging technologies including spintronics and spin-optronics. Furthermore\, we compare carrier spin dynamics of these nanostructures determined using ultrafast laser techniques and found major effects of size\, phonon\, nuclear spin\, and surface in their lifetimes attributed to different spin relaxation mechanisms.

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

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

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

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

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

We were prompted with the task of tracking our social media usage for roughly six weeks. After reflecting on our social media logs\, each of us conceptualized an art piece and artist statement that was the result of our deep thinking about our social media usage. We are all so unique and consume media in different ways\, and this exhibition allows us to see the ways our peers feel connected or controlled by social media.\n\nThrough this exhibition\, we invite you to reflect on your own relationship with social media. After engaging with the artwork and considering these questions\, we hope you gain a deeper understanding of the ways social media shapes the lives of Gen-Z students—and its impact on your own daily life.

A significant percentage of people are now recognized as having neurotypes that are not well supported by societal norms and our collective understanding of how to communicate across and support neurodiversity is still developing. Fortunately researchers\, educators\, and advocates who identify as neurodivergent are contributing to a growing body of best practices. \n\nJoin the LSA Faculty & Staff Disability Navigators in this 2-part workshop series to learn about neurodiversity and how we can all start creating more neuroinclusive workplaces. Attendees will need to register for and attend both Part 1 and Part 2 to gain a comprehensive understanding of this topic.\n\nIn Part 2\, participants will:\n- Learn about communication best practices between neurotypes.\n- Explore practical examples of how to foster neuroinclusive workplaces\, including workspace design\, meeting facilitation\, and supervision strategies.\n- Exchange advice with fellow participants and generate a plan to start applying neuroinclusive practices right away.\n- Obtain a reference guide to implementing best practices in your workplace.\n\nAudience: This is a beginner-level workshop open to any LSA employee\, including our student employees. LSA employees receive priority access\, so while external guests are welcome to register they may be waitlisted and allocated spots as space allows.\n\nFormat: This workshop will be conducted virtually on Zoom. Camera use will be optional. Auto-captioning will be enabled and slides will be shared during and following the workshop. Discussion will be facilitated via the chat function and interested participants will be invited to unmute themselves. There will be time for questions and participants will have the option to submit anonymously via the Q&A function. This session will not be recorded.\n\nAccommodations: The LSA DEI Office greatly values inclusion and access for all.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250226T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250226T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121552 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250226T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250226T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Write To You About Africa DESCRIPTION:Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections\, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. \n \nFeaturing a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists\, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa\, Masimba Hwati\, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North\, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.\n \nArt collections\, by their very nature\, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa\, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.\n \nDrawn from art collections across the U-M campus\, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists\, scholars\, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards\, in their first language\, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. \n \nWe Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, and the African Studies Center.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Art,Exhibition,Language,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

In this talk\, I will explain which general tools the language of von Neumann algebras provides us with to address this question. In particular\, I will show that a sharp horizon structure emerges in the dual of N=4 SYM theory at finite 't Hooft coupling\, which allows to make sense of causality at nonzero string length in string theory. I will also elaborate on an intriguing interplay between the algebraic results we will encounter and the theory of chaos in classical and quantum dynamical systems.

The Great Retreat: How Political Parties Should Behave and Why They Don't DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/VGp22\n\nAs the crisis of democratic capitalism sweeps the globe\, The Great Retreat makes the controversial argument that what democracies require most are stronger political parties that serve as intermediaries between citizens and governments.\n \n Once a centralizing force of the democratic process\, political parties have eroded over the past fifty years. Parties now rank among the most unpopular institutions in society--less trusted than business\, the police\, and the media. Identification with parties has plummeted\, and even those who are loyal to a party report feeling that parties care more about special interests than about regular citizens. What does a \"good\" political party look like? Why do we urgently need them? And how do we get them?\n \n The Great Retreat explores the development of political parties as democracy expanded across the West in the nineteenth century. It focuses in particular on mass parties\, and the ways they served as intermediaries that fostered ties between citizens and governments. While parties have become professionalized and nationalized\, they have lost the robust organizational density that made them effective representatives. After the Cold War\, a neoliberal economic consensus\, changes to campaign finance\, and shifting party priorities weakened the party systems of Western democracies. As Didi Kuo argues\, this erosion of political parties has contributed to the recent crisis of democratic capitalism\, as weak parties have ceded governance to the private sector.\n \n For democracy to adapt to a new era of global capitalism\, Kuo makes the case that we need strong intermediaries like mass parties--socially embedded institutions with deep connections to communities and citizens. Parties are essential to long-term democratic stability and economic growth\, while the breakdown of party systems\, on the other hand\, has historically led to democratic collapse. As trust in political parties has plummeted\, The Great Retreat provides a powerful defense of political parties--for without parties\, democratic representation is impossible.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962). The new quantum mechanics\, to use a building metaphor\, was erected on the ruins of the old quantum theory\, brought down by an accumulation of anomalies. In our book Constructing Quantum Mechanics (2019/2023)\, Tony Duncan and I use a different building metaphor. As suggested by the subtitles of the two volumes of our book\, The Scaffold: 1900–1923 and The Arch: 1923–1927\, we see the architects of the new quantum mechanics using parts of the old quantum theory as scaffolds to build the arch of the new one. In this talk\, after sketching the underlying alternative to Kuhn's account of scientific revolutions in general\, I will give an overview\, as non technical as possible\, of the genesis of quantum mechanics in the period 1900–1927.

Laurent Taudin. Based on joint work with Anthony Duncan of University of Pittsburgh).

In the past few years\, a general theory of stability\, $\Theta$-stratifications\, and good moduli spaces for algebraic stacks has generalized many aspects of this moduli problem. However\, questions of boundedness do not yet have a general answer -- this tends to be one of the trickiest parts of applying the machinery. I will discuss a new approach to boundedness for a vast generalization of the moduli of vector bundles on a curve: moduli spaces of objects in a dg-category that are semistable with respect to a Bridgeland stability condition. This involves reformulating the notion of a Bridgeland stability condition in a way that is especially convenient for moduli theory.

But this does not need to happen in discrete time. This suggests defining a new object\, the specific relative entropy\, as a scaled limit of the relative entropy between the discretized laws of the martingales. This definition goes all the way back to Nina Gantert's PhD thesis\, and in recent time Hans Foellmer has rekindled the study of this object by for instance obtaining a novel transport-information inequality.\n\nIn this talk I will first discuss the existence of a closed formula for the specific relative entropy\, depending on the quadratic variation of the involved martingales. Next I will describe an application of this object to prediction markets. Concretely\, David Aldous asked in an open question to determine the 'most exciting game'\, i.e. the prediction market with the highest entropy. With M. Beiglbock we give a concise answer to this question. Finally\, if time permits\, I will give a glimpse to different extensions of this object\, e.g. to higher dimensions or when we replace the role of the relative entropy by a power of the Wasserstein distance\, as recently developed with X. Zhang and co-authors.

Spaces of positive representations are examples of such theories and have the additional property that they are closed\, so they form connected components. One important tool in studying these representations is the notion of a positive flag curve\, a special type of curve in the flag manifold G/B. Specializing to the Lie group Sp(4\,R)\, I will describe a discrete analog of positive curves and then explain how all such curves are obtained by lifting a simple closed curve in the 2-sphere with monotone curvature function. This is joint work with Ryan Kirk.

In many cases\, the strength of a participant in the tournament is given by a score. Perhaps\, the most striking mathematical result on the tournament is Moon’s theorem\, which provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a feasible score sequence via majorization. To give a probabilistic interpretation of Moon’s result\, Aldous and Kolesnik introduced the soccer model\, the existence of which allows a short proof of Moon’s theorem. However\, the existence proof of Aldous and Kolesnik is non-constructive\, leading to the question of a “canonical” construction of the soccer model. The purpose of this talk is to discuss explicit constructions of the soccer model with an additional stochastic ordering constraint\, which can be formulated by martingale transport. Two solutions are given: one is by solving an entropy optimization problem via Sinkhorn’s algorithm\, and the other relies on the idea of shadow couplings. It turns out that both constructions yield the property of strong stochastic transitivity. I will also discuss the nontransitive situations if time permits.

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

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

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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

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

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121552 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250227T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250227T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Write To You About Africa DESCRIPTION:Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections\, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. \n \nFeaturing a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists\, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa\, Masimba Hwati\, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North\, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.\n \nArt collections\, by their very nature\, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa\, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.\n \nDrawn from art collections across the U-M campus\, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists\, scholars\, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards\, in their first language\, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. \n \nWe Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, and the African Studies Center.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Art,Exhibition,Language,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In this talk\, I will discuss how quantum simulation has deepened our understanding of quantum many-body chaos\, thermalization\, and their breakdown\, with a focus on ergodicity breaking due to quantum many-body scar states. I will then discuss a recently proposed nonequilibrium quantum phase—strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking—uncovered through quantum simulations of open quantum systems. Finally\, driven by the potential applications of weak ergodicity breaking and quantum simulators in quantum metrology\, I will highlight our recent efforts to combat the noise in quantum metrology.\n\nBio:\nDr. Cheng-Ju Lin is an RQS (Robust Quantum Simulation) postdoctoral fellow at the University of Maryland. He received his Ph.D. in physics from Caltech and was a postdoctoral researcher at the Perimeter Institute before his current position. His research lies at the intersection of quantum information and condensed matter physics\, focusing on quantum simulations of nonequilibrium dynamics—including quantum ergodicity\, its breakdown\, and nonequilibrium quantum phases—as well as their applications in quantum technology.

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

Prior to UC San Diego\, he was an ELBE Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD). With research at the intersection of soft matter and biophysics\, Tzer Han is interested in understanding how nonequilibrium forces lead to spatiotemporal organization in living matter\, and in turn\, how biological regulation harness this self-organizing capacity to make functional forms.\n\nAbstract\nNonreciprocity in biological and synthetic active matter gives rise to distinctive material properties\, such as odd material moduli\, sustained wave propagation\, and transverse responses. In this talk\, I will first highlight the odd elastodynamics that emerge in a living chiral crystals composed of thousands of spinning starfish embryos. Combining experiments\, theory and simulations\, we demonstrate that the formation\, dynamics and dissolution of these living crystals are controlled by the hydrodynamic properties and the natural development of embryos. Remarkably\, living chiral crystals exhibit self-sustained chiral oscillations as well as unconventional deformation response behaviors recently predicted for odd elastic materials. Building on these insights\, we developed a bioinspired robotic swarm with programmable nonreciprocal interactions. Our experiments demonstrate that tuning the interaction strength can transition the system from a solid-like state with odd vibrational modes to a fluid-like regime with edge states. Strikingly\, robot pairs exhibit emergent oscillatory dynamics and phase synchronization\, both essential to drive odd wave propagation in many-body collectives. Together\, these findings illustrate how nonreciprocity in living and robotic matter can enable nonequilibrium phases of chiral active matter with non-classical emergent properties.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!

He works at the intersection of stochastic analysis\, machine learning and quantitative finance. His primary research areas are continuous-time stochastic processes and probabilistic ranking models. Tang’s current research interest is to improve the efficiency of machine learning algorithms using stochastic tools\, and to develop robust AI methodology for the emerging fintech market. Examples include diffusion generative modeling\, analysis and design of blockchain mechanisms\, and the curse of dimensionality in large interacting particle systems.\n\n Abstract: Recently\, there has been growing interest in guiding\, or fine tuning pretrained diffusion models or LLMs for specific purposes\, e.g.\, aesthetic quality of images\, functional property of proteins\, and downstream tasks in finance and operations management. In this talk\, I will discuss several (principled) approaches\, encompassing conditional guidance\, regularization and reinforcement learning. Some applications will also be presented. The talk is based on a series of joint work with my students Haoxian Chen and Hanyang Zhao\, as well as my colleagues David Yao\, Henry Lam.

I will discuss two avenues where our understanding of photochemical hazes and condensation clouds has advanced for exoplanetary atmospheres. Both kinds of aerosols fundamentally shape the atmospheric chemistry of a variety of exoplanets\, with subsequent impacts on observations from a variety of facilities\, including JWST. First\, I will present results on the properties of photochemical haze particles produced from laboratory studies and the ways we may begin untangling these properties with JWST’s instrumentation for the most promising planetary targets. Second\, I will focus on updates to our understanding of exoplanet clouds. Clouds made of silicate materials are thought to be the dominant cloud species that affects our interpretations of hot Jupiters\, but the underlying laboratory data typically used for such interpretation does not fully capture the complexity of these materials. I will discuss my recent efforts to properly account for this complexity by considering mineral polymorphs and non-spherical cloud particle models. Properly accounting for the full chemical and physical complexity of both condensate and photochemical aerosol particles in exoplanet atmospheres will let us use them as atmospheric tracers of planetary conditions.

The log canonical threshold (lct) of the pair (X\,Y) is a positive rational number which measures the singularities of Y\, and the study of this quantity is an important topic in birational geometry with connections to the minimal model program. In positive characteristic\, one instead typically studies the F-pure threshold (fpt) of a pair. When R is a F-finite ring and I an ideal of R\, the quantity fpt(R\,I) measures how far the ring R/I is from being strongly F-regular.\n\nIn 2014\, Demailly and Phan defined an invariant of a pair (R\, I) in terms of certain mixed multiplicities of the ideal I and showed that this invariant is a lower bound on the log canonical threshold. In the case of a pair (R\, I)\, where R is a polynomial ring and I is an ideal generated by a homogeneous regular sequence\, we classify exactly when the log canonical threshold is equal to Demailly and Phan's invariant.

This seminar explores the effects of anthropogenic nutrient deposition on the plant physiology and population growth of the carnivorous pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea and on the microbial dynamics of the micro-ecosystem and food web that develops in the aquatic pools of its cupped leaves. This model system allows for unique insights from a combination of field experiments\, greenhouse manipulations\, long-term monitoring\, and modeling.

In 2017\, just months after Donald Trump took office\, Eminem appeared in a BET “Cypher\,” a freestyle rap session where emcees show off their skills\, and used the entirety of his allotted time to accuse President Trump of being a cowardly racist who represented an immediate threat to the American people. Less than three months ago\, Eminem took the stage again\, this time at a Detroit rally in support of Kamala Harris. He once again called out Trump as a threat to the country and introduced former president Barack Obama\, who began his speech by rapping lyrics from one of Eminem’s most famous songs\, “Lose Yourself.” Despite Eminem’s stated support for Democratic candidates and his rejection of Trump\, the white rapper also has been claimed by Republican politicians including Marco Rubio and Vivek Ramaswamy. In fact\, early in his career\, Eminem branded himself as a politically incorrect provocateur who\, as the title to one of his first songs put it\, “Just Don’t Give a Fuck.” By emphasizing contradictions in whiteness\, particularly with respect to class\, Eminem’s early commercial recordings\, along with his semi-autobiographical 2002 film *8 Mile*\, cast him as an angry underdog. Thus\, despite his recent efforts to position himself firmly in opposition to Donald Trump\, much of Eminem’s early work aligns well with the cultural logic of conservative grievance politics. This lecture explores these contradictions and examines how Eminem can be claimed by politicians on both sides of the aisle. Why was Eminem’s music and legacy open to being adopted by both Democrats and Republicans during the 2024 presidential campaign? How do Barack Obama and Vivek Ramaswamy\, both of whom chose to rap the opening lines of “Lose Yourself” at different campaign events\, draw on hip hop history to bolster their respective positions? What does Eminem’s relevance twenty-five years after his mainstream debut tell us about hip hop’s political evolution? And\, finally\, what can hip hop teach us about recent trends in electoral politics that have seen more people of color\, especially young men\, identifying with the GOP?\n\nGUEST SPEAKER BIO\n\nLOREN KAJIKAWA is Associate Professor and Chair of the music program at the George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. His main area of research and teaching is American music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries\, with special attention to the dynamics of race and politics. Kajikawa’s writings have appeared in *American Music*\, *Black Music Research Journal*\, *ECHO: a music-centered journal*\, *Journal of the Society for American Music*\, and *Popular Music and Society*\, among others. His book *Sounding Race in Rap Songs* (University of California Press\, 2015) explores the relationship between rap music’s backing tracks and racial representation. In addition to his publications\, Kajikawa is a former Editor-in-Chief of the *Journal of the Society for American Music* (Vol. 12-13) and he currently serves as co-editor of “Tracking Pop\,” the University of Michigan Press’s series of books about popular music.\n\n*This program is organized by the Department of Musicology at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.*\n UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131250 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Interdisciplinary,Lecture,Media,Music,North Campus,Research,Scholarship,Social Impact,Talk LOCATION:Earl V.

The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC Workshop uses small-group\, peer-led circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced.Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions or concerns about taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact Jacqy Hippe\, Program Manager for Graduate Research\, Outreach\, Workshops\, Outreach\, and Evaluation (GROWE) ([email protected])\, or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this workshop challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. Where requirements are met\, GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC Workshop on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via Zoom to discuss their need for exemption and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

DESCRIPTION:Seating is Limited. Please register in advance to attend. \n\nIn the inaugural year of the MIDAS Data and AI in Society Lecture Series\, the general public is welcome and encouraged to attend. No prior experience with AI is required.\n\nGenerative artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGPT can have conversations that seem eerily human. But\, could they ever be conscious? Just as importantly\, why does it matter? Even as AI experts\, neuroscientists\, and philosophers debate these questions\, AI innovation keeps marching on. In this talk\, Toyama discusses some of these issues as they pertain to moral personhood\, the question of if and when machines should be treated with moral considerations similar to those given to people: Should there be concern about harming AI systems? When should an AI system be held responsible for its actions? What does it mean to hold a machine responsible? As with so much about consciousness and morality\, consensus is elusive\, but the Toyama also presents his own opinions and arguments for how he believes these questions should be decided.

Major changes that took place included the restructuring of synagogue architecture with the removal of the women’s gallery\, the redefinition of community through women’s volunteerism\, and the introduction of women's religious leadership\, which also challenged conventional theology. Historically and today\, American Judaism -- in dialogue with American society and other models of religious practice -- has constantly evolved and transformed in an effort to match the ever-moving target of gendered expectations for religious behavior and practice.

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

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

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

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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

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

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121552 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Write To You About Africa DESCRIPTION:Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections\, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. \n \nFeaturing a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists\, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa\, Masimba Hwati\, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North\, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.\n \nArt collections\, by their very nature\, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa\, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.\n \nDrawn from art collections across the U-M campus\, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists\, scholars\, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards\, in their first language\, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. \n \nWe Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, and the African Studies Center.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Art,Exhibition,Language,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

I analyze visual and textual narratives of the rubber-producing tree hevea brasiliensis\, and I propose a speculative mode of analysis based on shifting scientific paradigms on plant intelligence and plant behavior. I also discuss the role of key figures like William Jackson Hooker—the English botanist and director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew who successfully domesticated hevea seedlings\, paving the way for the development of rubber plantations in British colonies in Southeast Asia and\, in the process\, contributing to the collapse of the Amazonian rubber boom—and Roger Casement—the Irish diplomat known for his harrowing accounts of the violent labor regimes in the Congo Free State and the Peruvian Amazon propelled by the rubber economy. The talk further shows the links between botany\, plant commodification\, and imperialism.\n\nOlimpia E. Rosenthal is Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University. She is a scholar of colonialism in Latin America\, specializing in literary and cultural production that reflects material practices of domination\, the long-term effects of colonization\, and the ways in which imperial power has been challenged and contested. Her first book\, Race\, Sex and Segregation in Colonial Latin America (Routledge 2022)\, examines the emergence and early development of indigenous segregationist policies in Spanish and Portuguese America. The book shows that segregationist measures influenced the material reorganization of space\, shaped colonial processes of racialization\, and contributed to the politicization of reproductive sex. She has also organized a series of international conferences\, including one on Subaltern Studies at Indiana University’s Gateway Center in India\, and she recently co-organized the Sawyer Seminar Global Slaveries\, Fugitivity\, and the Afterlives of Unfreedom. Her current book project examines the political ecology of the Amazonian rubber boom.

The phenomenon of exile has been a useful lens through which to interrogate systems of power and authority\, and has helped modern scholars redefine identity. Exile\, however\, does not always mean a physical displacement of a people\; despite being “at home\,” those who live\, think\, and practice on the margins of society can experience isolation in one’s own domain that feels akin to exile. Join us and our graduate student panelists in a discussion of the experience of exilic marginality in native and foreign lands.\n\nPanelists:\nTuğçe Akgül (Graduate Student\, Ancient History\, University of Michigan)\nMelissa Itzkowitz (Graduate Student\, Anthropology\, University of Michigan)\nZhaina Meirkhan (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nTalitha Pam (Graduate Student\, Anthropology and History\, University of Michigan)\nAnna Bonnell Freidin (Assistant Professor\, History\, University of Michigan)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

However\, the computational demands for training these models are immense\, requiring vast amounts of data. As the spatial and temporal resolution of simulations increases\, even data storage becomes a critical bottleneck. This talk presents how low-rank tensor decomposition methods can be used to exploit the structure in large-scale data. We showcase a diverse array of applications\, from 3D turbulent Navier-Stokes simulations to Minecraft gameplay videos\, demonstrating the versatility and power of these techniques.\n\nBio: Doruk Aksoy is a 5th year PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering and Scientific computing at the University of Michigan\, working under the supervision of Prof. Alex Gorodetsky.

Across millennia\, imperial powers have leveraged such control to their advantage\, often\ndramatically transforming landscapes and social relations as a result. On Kalymnos\, fieldwork\ncontinues to find indications of these processes in action. This deforested\, dry island has been\nsubject to many empires\, and\, it appears\, many episodes of ecological devastation. I suggest that\nEarly Medieval Kalymnos can be understood as a ‘post-apocalyptic’ landscape\, in which new\nresources\, new landscapes\, and new social organizations were shaped from a dry and dying earth.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Here\, we integrate solution NMR spectroscopy and chemical probing approaches to visualize a two-state conformational ensemble for the central stem-loop 3 (SL3) of 7SK RNA\, a critical element for 7SK RNA function in transcription regulation. We find that the SL3 distal end undergoes slow exchange between two equally populated yet structurally distinct states in both isolated SL3 constructs and full-length 7SK RNA. We rationally designed constructs that lock SL3 into a single state and demonstrate that both NMR and chemical probing data fit to a linear combination of the two states. A survey of vertebrate 7SK RNA sequences shows exquisite sequence dependence on the two-state equilibrium. Moreover\, we find that changing environmental variables such as temperature and ionic strength shifts the equilibrium between the two states. We determine thermodynamic parameters such as divalent cation binding affinities for individual states and find that the two states have strikingly different responses to addition of divalent cations. Together\, these data indicate that the two states significantly differ in their structural and dynamic properties\, which may impact SL3 function in transcription regulation. These results provide new insights into 7SK RNA structural dynamics and demonstrate the utility of integrating chemical probing with NMR spectroscopy to gain quantitative insights into RNA conformational ensembles.

Due to their high performance\, they have become the most widely flown form of in-space propulsion. However\, our ability to predict Hall thruster operation and life with simulations is limited by difficulties in modeling the “anomalous” loss of electron confinement due to plasma turbulence. This anomalous transport of electrons limits efficiency and determines the electric field profile\, impacting nearly every aspect of the thruster. Past attempts to measure the anomalous transport have used perturbative plasma probes which alter the thruster operation\, and model-based inference studies do not produce a unique solution.\n\nIn this work\, laser scattering experiments are performed to non-perturbatively characterize the flow of momentum and heat through the Hall thruster plasma. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) velocimetry is employed to capture the electric field\, while incoherent Thomson scattering (ITS) is used to directly measure the electron properties in a high-power\, magnetically shielded Hall thruster. A method is devised to infer the cross-field transport\, represented by the effective Hall parameter\, directly from these laser measurements. The electron properties are investigated across a parametric map of operating conditions and propellants in one and two dimensions. It is found that electron temperatures are larger than previously expected and the principle of isothermal field lines does not hold. The resulting dataset is used to evaluate theories for turbulent forces and heat fluxes in the Hall thruster and hollow cathode plumes.

This seasonal timing system is conserved across many different species\, including humans\, and is characterized by large interindividual differences. Strong biological responses (e.g. in melatonin duration) to day length have been linked to seasonal affective disorder\, which affects about 5 percent of adults in the U.S. Mathematical models provide a powerful tool to understand the underlying mechanisms driving these responses and their variability across individuals. In this study\, we analyze circadian rhythms in medical interns across the U.S. using data from wearable devices. Our findings reveal that individuals with stronger seasonal responses experience greater circadian misalignment due to environmental changes\, such as shift work. Using physiologically-based mathematical models\, we propose a new perspective on human seasonality\, emphasizing the challenges posed by modern-day environmental factors. Furthermore\, we investigate the dynamical behaviors in the models contributing to the complexity of circadian rhythms and seasonality.\n\nContact: AIM Seminar Organizers UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130189 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250227T012048 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T160000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Baits II (2024-2025) (Housing) DESCRIPTION: UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122947 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:MLK Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250127T090800 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T160000 SUMMARY:Meeting:DocDi DESCRIPTION:The DocDi Group is a collaborative forum\, open to both students and faculty\, who share an interest in the areas of Field Linguistics\, Fieldwork Methods\, Language Documentation\, and Language Description.

While proxy records have allowed us to quantify rising atmospheric O2 levels quite effectively during this time period\, we have far fewer constraints on the timing and extent of ocean oxygenation beneath this evolving atmosphere right as the GOE was taking place. In this talk I will present new constraints on the coupled oxygenation of the ocean and atmosphere during the GOE using measurements of stable thallium and vanadium isotopes in Paleoproterozoic shales. These two global ocean paleoredox proxies exhibit subtly distinct responses to the impacts of ocean oxygenation that together allow us to build a nuanced picture of syn-GOE marine redox dynamics. I will present thallium isotopic data that demonstrates an instantaneous coupling between the initial oxygenation of the atmosphere above a canonical threshold value\, and the onset of significant manganese oxide burial in the oceans. Then\, I will show how vanadium isotope constraints indicate marine surface O2 reached levels persistently above quantifiable thresholds within as little as a few million years of the onset of permanent atmospheric oxygenation.

I analyze visual and textual narratives of the rubber-producing tree *hevea brasiliensis*\, and I propose a speculative mode of analysis based on shifting scientific paradigms on plant intelligence and plant behavior. I also discuss the role of key figures like William Jackson Hooker—the English botanist and director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew who successfully domesticated hevea seedlings\, paving the way for the development of rubber plantations in British colonies in Southeast Asia and\, in the process\, contributing to the collapse of the Amazonian rubber boom—and Roger Casement—the Irish diplomat known for his harrowing accounts of the violent labor regimes in the Congo Free State and the Peruvian Amazon propelled by the rubber economy. The talk further shows the links between botany\, plant commodification\, and imperialism.\n\nOlimpia E. Rosenthal is Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University. She is a scholar of colonialism in Latin America\, specializing in literary and cultural production that reflects material practices of domination\, the long-term effects of colonization\, and the ways in which imperial power has been challenged and contested. Her first book\, *Race\, Sex and Segregation in Colonial Latin America* (Routledge 2022)\, examines the emergence and early development of indigenous segregationist policies in Spanish and Portuguese America. The book shows that segregationist measures influenced the material reorganization of space\, shaped colonial processes of racialization\, and contributed to the politicization of reproductive sex. She has also organized a series of international conferences\, including one on Subaltern Studies at Indiana University’s Gateway Center in India\, and she recently co-organized the *Sawyer Seminar Global Slaveries\, Fugitivity\, and the Afterlives of Unfreedom*. Her current book project examines the political ecology of the Amazonian rubber boom.

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

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

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121552 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250301T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250301T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Write To You About Africa DESCRIPTION:Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections\, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art. \n \nFeaturing a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists\, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa\, Masimba Hwati\, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North\, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.\n \nArt collections\, by their very nature\, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa\, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.\n \nDrawn from art collections across the U-M campus\, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists\, scholars\, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards\, in their first language\, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. \n \nWe Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, and the African Studies Center.\n  UID:[email protected] URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Art,Exhibition,Language,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

This event is free and open to everyone but is intended for children ages 4–8.\n\nInspired by supermodel Georgie Badiel’s childhood in Burkina Faso\, *The Water Princess* tells the story of Princess Gie Gie\, who endeavors to bring clean water to her small village. Each morning\, she embarks on the long journey to the well with a heavy pot atop her head\, dreaming of a day when her village will have an ample\, clean supply of water. This vibrant\, engaging story—written by Susan Verde with illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds—highlights the global issue of water scarcity and instills hope for a future in which all children have access to clean drinking water.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors.
