SUMMARY:Engaging with Campus Collections - Digital Interpretation and Curation at UMMA & the Stearns Collection
DESCRIPTION:Museums@Noon – Friday\, April 15 at 12:00 pm \nEngaging with Campus Collections – Digital Interpretation and Curation at UMMA & the Stearns Collection \n  \nIsabelle Gillet\, PhD candidate in the History of Art \nMuting the Museum’s Omniscient Narrator\n\nWhy do we trust museum labels even when they sound like they were written by a disengaged but knowledgeable AI? Instead\, can we rely on an “I” to guide our eye through the galleries? This talk will reflect on an eighteen-month fellowship at the University of Michigan Museum of Art and focus on its main accomplishment: Insight. Insight is an online collection of essays\, curated to share insightful\, individual\, and informative responses to works from the museum’s collection. This research outreach project elevates museum interpretation with personal narratives and experiences. \n  \nChuyi Zhu\, PhD candidate in Ethnomusicology \nMuseums in the Pandemic: Virtual Exhibits\, Experience Design\, and Innovative Collaborations \nIn the presentation\, I will talk about two virtual exhibitions I worked on as an intern of the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments at the University of Michigan. The first virtual exhibition\, which I planned\, designed\, and produced in 2021\, focuses exclusively on the UM Javanese Gamelan. The second exhibition\, which I helped curate in 2022\, focuses more generally on representing the entire Stearns Collection. In the talk\, I will also highlight our collaborations with CultureVerse\, a non-profit organization based in Ann Arbor\, and our use of Saganworks\, a digital tool and cyberspace that creates virtual reality rooms for multidimensional knowledge and visual storytelling. \n  \nRegister for this Zoom webinar. \n  \nGillet and Zhu_BrownBag

SUMMARY:L’Internationale and the Democracy Pavilion for Europe
DESCRIPTION:L’Internationale’s Democracy Pavilion for Europe aims to reenergize democracy as a desire and practice. It takes the arts’ potential as a starting point for imagining new epistemologies and ethics of living together within the limits of the planet. The pavilion responds to the current political moment and the fact that the idea of democracy that undergirded the post-1945 European order is in peril. Fostering open\, creative debate\, the pavilion serves as a source of inspiration to reframe art and museums as spaces for experimentation and analysis that critically engage current developments in Europe. The Democracy Pavilion is the response of L’Internationale to the European Cultural Foundation’s call to promote critical thinking and radical imagination. The panelists represent institutions affiliated with L’Internationale\, a confederation of seven European art museums from Belgium\, Spain\, the Netherlands\, Turkey\, Sweden\, Slovenia\, and Ireland. Taking the Democracy Pavilion as their core idea\, the presentations together explore new relations between arts\, heritage\, and emancipatory politics. \nPanelists: \n\nZdenka Badovinac – Director\, Museum of Contemporary Art\, Zagreb\, Croatia\nFerran Barenblit – Visiting Professor\, University of Michigan and Board Member\, L’Internationale Association\nCharles Esche – Director\, Van Abbemuseum\, Eindhoven\, Netherlands\n\nCo-sponsored by the Center for European Studies \nRegister for webinar here. \nFlyer_Internationale Pavilion

SUMMARY:Museums and their Communities: Curatorial Practices in Germany and the US
DESCRIPTION:Museums and their Communities: Curatorial Practices in Germany and the US \nPanelists: \nAngela Jannelli\, Historical Museum of Frankfurt \nAdam Levine\, Toledo Museum of Art \nSamir Meghelli\, Smithsonian Institution\, Anacostia Community Museum \nHow do museums engage with local communities? This panel offers first-hand experience with different models of museum-based community practice. With its exhibit “Frankfurt Jetzt” (Frankfurt Now) & Stadtlabor (City Laboratory)\, Frankfurt’s historical museum has turned to the city’s residents as experts and invited them to participate in curatorial teams. The Anacostia Community Museum in Washington\, D.C. takes community to heart and works to amplify “collective power for a more equitable future.” The Toledo Art Museum probes a form of community engagement that aims to foster “a sense of belonging for all its audience.” This international panel of distinguished museum curators and directors illuminates how specific forms of engagement work to strengthen museum-community bonds across racial\, economic\, and other social boundaries. What kind of challenges and opportunities are implied in these museum practices and how can municipalities help to sustain them?  Join us for an exploration of museum opportunities and challenges. \nPlease register in advance for this webinar via Zoom. \n \n

SUMMARY:Natural History Collections and Pandemic Preparedness
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon presentation! \nNatural History Collections and Pandemic Preparedness \nPresenters: \n\nCody Thompson\, Mammal Collections Manager and Assistant Research Scientist (University of Michigan Museum of Zoology)\nKendra Phelps\, Senior Scientist (EcoHealth Alliance)\n\nDate:  Friday\, December 3 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nFormat:  Online via Zoom (registration required) \nIn this session\, Cody Thompson and Kendra Phelps will discuss their article\, “Preserve a Voucher Specimen! The Critical Need for Integrating Natural History Collections in Infectious Disease Studies\,” published in January 2021. With COVID-19 as an example of the failed merger of host-pathogen research with collections-based biodiversity science\, the paper reviews past cases of successful integration of museum collections with emerging infectious disease research (e.g.\, hantaviruses\, yellow fever\, parasites).  The research concludes with recommendations for how public health agencies and the microbiology community can integrate their research efforts with museums using a One Health framework. \nCo-sponsored by the Museum of Natural History \nMuseumsNoon_Thompson and Phelps

SUMMARY:At the Intersection of Time and Culture: Reflections on Researching Ancient Sculpture in the Present-day Louvre
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon presentation! \nAt the Intersection of Time and Culture: Reflections on Researching Ancient Sculpture in the Present-day Louvre \nPresenter:  Zoe Ortiz (PhD candidate\, Classical Art & Archaeology) \nDate:  Friday\, October 29 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nFormat:  Online via Zoom (registration required) \n  \nThe Louvre Museum is perhaps the most well-known museum in the entire world. To walk its halls and view its art is more than visiting a museum\, it’s experiencing history itself. The museum came into existence as a fortress in the 12th century but was transformed into a private gallery for the royal collection in the 17th century\, and then finally a public museum during the French Revolution. The collection was greatly expanded under Napoleon\, and it was at this time that the Gabii sculptural assemblage entered the Louvre and became the cornerstone of the Roman sculpture collection. \nIn this talk\, I discuss the ancient site of Gabii\, the sculptures that once stood there\, and their journey at the Louvre. I explore the relationship between present perceptions and ancient praxis\, as well as the transformation of our knowledge and approach to ancient art that is still occurring today. By sharing my reflections during my time at the Louvre\, I hope to invite others to consider how we all play a part in this transformation by viewing ancient art in the present\, setting the stage for future change. \nBrownBag_Ortiz

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary Partnerships and Community Collaborations in Museum Practice - Two Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon conversation! \nTitle:  Interdisciplinary Partnerships and Community Collaborations in Museum Practice – Two Perspectives \nDate:  Friday\, March 26 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  Online via Zoom (Meeting ID: 910 0130 8478 / Passcode: 617448) (direct link) \nPresenters: \n\nChristina DiFabio (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology)\nShannon Ness (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology)\n\n  \nInterdisciplinary College and Professional Learning at the Art Institute of Chicago (Christina DiFabio)   \nThis presentation will discuss how a major art museum in the U.S. engages college and professional groups within various disciplines. During the winter of 2019\, I worked in the Adult Learning Division in the Department of Learning and Public Engagement at the Art Institute of Chicago. In my practicum\, I saw how the division initiates and maintains partnerships with art students at the School of the Art Institute and medical students at University of Illinois Chicago and Rush University. I will discuss how the division approaches art education with these different audiences as well as my own research which proposed how to broaden the medical school partnership to other professions\, such as social work. My work was an initial step in a larger project that is being undertaken by the division to create a wellness program for interdisciplinary students and professionals. \n  \nCommunity Participation and Consultation: Developing a Heritage Center at El Kurru\, Sudan (Shannon Ness) \nThe modern village of El Kurru is one locale within the larger UNESCO World Heritage Site of “Gebel Barkal and the Sites of the Napatan Region” and gives its name to the ancient royal cemetery located there. Although the well-preserved and painted burial chambers attract domestic and international tourists\, there is no site presentation — a detriment to both visitors and residents. As part of a new site management plan\, El Kurru will soon be home to the El Kurru Community Heritage Center\, which strives to be a resource for both visitors and residents alike. The International Kurru Archaeological Project (IKAP) in partnership with Sudanese archaeologists and local stakeholders are preparing programming and the exhibitions on the site’s archaeology and the local culture of El Kurru. \nThis talk will discuss the development of an educational outreach program and the curation of the local heritage exhibit\, which will feature photographs\, objects\, and stories sourced from the local community. While there is general interest in what the Center could be and IKAP has been successful in encouraging participation in the development process\, the talk will also address some of the challenges in moving beyond mere participation and consultation in the effort to foster true collaboration between various stakeholders. \nDiFabio and Ness_BrownBag

SUMMARY:Our National Marine Sanctuaries\, Protecting America’s Underwater Treasures: A Survey of Michigan’s Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon conversation! \nTitle: Our National Marine Sanctuaries\, Protecting America’s Underwater Treasures: A Survey of Michigan’s Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater Preserve \nDate:  Friday\, January 29 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  Online via Zoom (register here) \nPresenter: Stephanie Gandulla\, Maritime Archaeologist and Research Coordinator for the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary \nOverview: \nPreserved by the cold freshwater on which they once served\, more than 200 shipwrecks are believed to rest in Lake Huron’s Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The sheer number of shipwrecks is impressive. However\, it is their excellent state of preservation and what they represent—a century and a half of maritime commerce and travel on the Great Lakes—that make them truly special. \nStephanie Gandulla will take us on  a freshwater journey to a time when schooner and steamer ruled the Great Lakes. We will explore some of the nation’s best-preserved shipwrecks and how the first marine sanctuary in the Great Lakes was designated and became part of the Michigan History Center’s statewide system of museums and historic sites. \nBrownBag_Thunder Bay

SUMMARY:Museum Narratives and Transnational Reputations: History\, State Legitimacy\, and Contested Heritage in Ukraine and Spain
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon conversation! \nTitle:  Museum Narratives and Transnational Reputations: History\, State Legitimacy\, and Contested Heritage in Ukraine and Spain \nDate:  Friday\, November 13 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  Online via Zoom (Meeting ID: 963 1071 4395 / Passcode: 685197) \nPresenters: \n\nGrace Mahoney (PhD candidate\, Slavic Languages and Literatures)\nFélix Zamora-Gómez (PhD candidate\, Romance Languages and Literatures)\n\nOverview: \nHow do curatorial works and memorial sites simultaneously serve as tools for constructing national identities and as materials in a state’s claim for transnational reputation? How can we frame these questions in the context of post-dictatorial nations and their contested heritage? Looking at the two different cases of Ukraine and Spain\, this presentation will unravel the multiplicity of ways in which cultural artifacts and narratives become the very sites for these discussions and crystalize the impact of these often violent legacies. \nGrace Mahoney: \nMikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) is a highly celebrated author and playwright who was censored under the Soviet regime\, but has enjoyed significant memorialization in post-Soviet space. Highly associated with Moscow\, the memorial apparatus dedicated to Bulgakov in the Russian capital is well established. Bulgakov’s lesser-known connection with Kyiv\, which was part of Russian Empire\, Soviet Union\, and is now the capital of independent Ukraine\, is lesser known and further obscured by the author’s seemingly “undesirable” connection with the city. Nevertheless\, a house museum in Kyiv founded in 1990 celebrates biography of the Bulgakov family who resided there and the author’s 1924 novel The White Guard\, which portrays the calamity of the Civil War in the city in the wake of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution that brought an end to the Russian Empire. The novel focuses on the seizure of Kyiv by Ukrainian forces and admonishes Ukrainian national aspirations. This narrative doesn’t play well in Ukraine today and is perceived by some cultural activists and political figures as part of a colonial legacy that must be rooted out if the nation is to thrive. The museum then becomes the locus of this debate and is perceived by many as the institutional legacy of Russian chauvinism that has no place in the Ukrainian national landscape today. In my presentation\, I trace the dynamics of the Bulgakov-White Guard narrative in an attempt to demonstrate the complexity of this heritage and how\, in fact\, its contested nature keeps the narrative vital\, demanding a nuanced approach to the past. \nFélix Zamora-Gómez: \nAfter receiving financial and political support from the US government in the fifties\, Spain went from fascist ally of Germany and Italy to be regarded as a legitimate nation full of liberties\, prosperity\, and culture. During the following decade\, Spain became the tourist spot it is today and underwent a radical economic\, infrastructural\, and political transformation that today is known as the desarrollismo (developmentalism) period. As a new ally and member of the “Free World”\, the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) that gave origin to the Francoist regime became a thorny heritage to defend in the eyes of the international community. For that purpose\, in 1964 the dictatorship celebrated the 25th anniversary of the end of the war under the name “XXV years of Spanish Peace” and organized several exhibitions around that theme with the purpose of laundering its international reputation. This presentation will dive into two of them: “España 64” and the Spanish pavilion at the New York’s World Fair of 1964. This presentation explores how these two exhibitions used curatorial narratives and cultural artifacts to deal with the haunting impact of the Civil War\, promote an image of Spain as a country of growth and freedom\, and even defend the democratic nature of the dictatorial regime. \nZamora-Gomez&Mahoney_BrownBag_FINAL \n  \n

SUMMARY:Learning from History at The Henry Ford – Two Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon conversation! \nTitle:  Learning from History at The Henry Ford – Two Perspectives \nDate:  Friday\, October 9 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  Online via Zoom (Meeting ID: 930 4573 8463 / Passcode 103356) \nPresenters: \n\nBradley L. Taylor (Associate Director Emeritus\, Museum Studies Program)\nCalder Fong (PhD\, Germanic Languages and Literatures)\n\nReconstructing History/Reimagining Originality: The Case of Henry Ford’s English Preservations (Bradley Taylor) \nAs the Stock Market Crash of 1929 was about to plunge the world into the Great Depression\, Henry Ford was putting finishing touches on an outdoor museum of historic structures known today as Greenfield Village.  Ford’s interest in preserving old buildings on site had existed for years but this assemblage of structures moved from other parts of the country was something few had seen before.  Ford and his team thus led an effort to preserve in a way that offered little precedent upon which to draw. \nThe presentation showcases Ford’s efforts to rescue three English structures—a retail store\, a home\, and a forge—and finds that the stories of these three preservations lead us to new ways of considering deeply held assumptions about the nature of “originality” and “authenticity.” \n  \nThe Deluxe Engine: Lessons from the Life of an Industrial Heritage Object at The Henry Ford (Calder Fong) \nCan a single object tell the story of an entire museum? Join Calder on a journey through time and space\, as he accompanies an 1887 Crossley Bros. internal combustion engine through the departments of The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. Encounter Henry Ford as an early pioneer of urbexing\, and discover a transnational network of engineers and their museums. Survey the wide range of disciplines that assemble to make The Henry Ford work! And of course\, learn the secret to taking care of your very own Deluxe Engine. \nTaylor&Fong_BrownBag_FINAL

We will explore some of the nation’s best-preserved shipwrecks\, how the first marine sanctuary in the Great Lakes was designated and became part of the Michigan History Center’s statewide system of museums and historic sites.  2020 is the twentieth anniversary of the sanctuary’s designation to protect the Great Lakes and their rich history for future generations. \nBrownBag_Waters \n

SUMMARY:Museums and Movies: Reflecting and Shaping Cultural Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Museums and Movies: Reflecting and Shaping Cultural Perspectives \nDate:  Thursday\, April 9 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Susan Dine (PhD candidate\, History of Art) \nTo date\, the history and function of a museum in society as well as the museum-visitor perspective\, through visitor studies\, have been studied in-depth. In contrast\, the museum in popular visual culture—especially among a public that includes non-museum visitors—has not yet been deeply explored. A close look at two popular movie examples\, the Indiana Jones franchise of the 1980s and the 2018 Black Panther\, illustrates significant shifts in public perceptions of museums as an institution over the last four decades. This talk will present analyses of the two case studies\, looking at both in relation to contemporaneous museum study and practice and addressing how popular visual culture can both reflect and shape cultural perspectives. \nBrownBag_Dine \n*Note\, this presentation was re-scheduled from a previous date \n

SUMMARY:Reconstructing History/Reimagining Originality: The Case of Henry Ford’s English Preservations
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Reconstructing History/Reimagining Originality: The Case of Henry Ford’s English Preservations \nDate:  Friday\, March 20 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Bradley L. Taylor (Associate Director\, Museum Studies Program) \nAs the Stock Market Crash of 1929 was about to plunge the world into the Great Depression\, Henry Ford was putting finishing touches on an outdoor museum of historic structures known today as Greenfield Village.  Ford’s interest in preserving old buildings on site had existed for years but this assemblage of structures moved from other parts of the country was something few had seen before.  Ford and his team thus led an effort to preserve in a way that offered little precedent upon which to draw. \nThis talk showcases Ford’s efforts to rescue three English structures—a retail store\, a home\, and a forge—and finds that the stories of these three preservations lead us to new ways of considering deeply held assumptions about the nature of “originality” and “authenticity.” \nBrownBag_Taylor \n

SUMMARY:Collecting Oceania
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Collecting Oceania \nDate:  Friday\, March 13 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Emily Cornish (PhD candidate\, History of Art) \nTraveling along numerous intellectual\, social\, political and cultural currents\, objects from the Pacific Islands have been circulating in United States’ museum collections since the nineteenth century\, especially in universal art museums.  Using a mid-Atlantic U.S. institution as a case study\, this talk explores Pacific Islands holdings and collection histories. Close engagement with museum object files\, digital catalogue\, and the objects themselves reveals a complex collecting history that encompasses the twentieth century obsession with the so-called “primitive arts\,” U.S. involvement in WWII\, and contemporary ethical dilemmas regarding the repatriation of human remains and sacred objects. By tracking aspects like objects’ display histories\, language of classification\, and more\, the bounded nature and value of this collection in relation to the museum’s current priorities\, initiative\, and constraints comes to the fore\, ultimately prompting consideration of the museum’s responsibility today to such objects and their source communities. \nBrownBag_Cornish

SUMMARY:Reinstalling Early Greece at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, April 19 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Caitlin Clerkin (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nReinstalling Early Greece at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston \nIn the course of my practicum at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, I aided in research and planning for a reinstallation of a permanent gallery. From my position in the Greek and Roman Art section of the Art of the Ancient World department\, my main project focused on planning a new gallery of “early Greek”—post-Bronze Age\, pre-Persian Wars—art. My work consisted largely of object-based research\, and wider research into framing and scholarly trends. In this work\, I (with the curator) thought about balancing familiar—and sometimes outdated—narratives with new scholarship\, how to balance the desire for “full coverage” with idiosyncratic collections\, what stories to tell\, and how to strike a balance between only using ancient objects illustratively and fetishizing them as decontextualized objects. In this presentation\, I’ll especially address issues we faced that are common to decision-making for ancient art galleries\, particularly regarding narratives—both in the sense of the arguments being made in galleries and the narratives with which visitors enter the galleries. \nBrownBag_Clerkin \n \n

SUMMARY:Online Collections and Teaching Whiteness at the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, April 12 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Christopher Mulvey (PhD\, Anthropology) \nOnline Collections and Teaching Whiteness at the University of Michigan Museum of Art \nOver the summer of 2018\, I worked as an intern with the Education Department at the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, creating teaching resources with themes centered on “whiteness” and “masculinities.” Using the online system “The Exchange\,” I reviewed UMMA’s collection and generated new Teaching Collections and Resources on aspects of the collection that were relatively underexplored\, in addition to leading several tours centered on race\, ethnicity\, and gender. This work opened questions of access\, knowledge production\, and the value of underutilized collections. My Brown Bag talk will highlight how museums can begin to loosen their grip on curating collections through the creation and maintenance of systems like The Exchange\, which offer chances for both University and broader publics to engage with shaping how images can be put into conversation with one another. In addition\, I will discuss curating whiteness and masculinities—subjects that often fall by the wayside in teaching both history and art—in an effort to illustrate how the museum can broadly effect change and work against its colonial history. \nBrownBag_Mulvey

SUMMARY:Enhancing Access to Roman Ceramics at the Harvard Art Museums
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 29 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Alison Rittershaus (PhD candidate\, Interdisciplinary Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nEnhancing Access to Roman Ceramics at the Harvard Art Museums \nThis talk discusses the tensions revealed between the shifting mission of a university museum and the complicated history of its collections during my internship in the curatorial department of Asian and Mediterranean Art at the Harvard Art Museums. In addition to shadowing department faculty and staff throughout ongoing strategizing about publications\, exhibitions\, and teaching accessibility with the goal of broadening the museum’s audience\, I worked on researching its substantial collection of Roman ceramic lamps\, fleshing out their entries in the online catalogue and proposing methods to integrate them into classroom teaching and gallery displays. \nJust as the institution is an agglomeration of multiple museums searching for a cohesive brand identity\, the lamp collection presents an accumulation of objects that resists neat categorization. They arrived over the course of more than a century\, residing in a variety of Harvard-affiliated collections before finding a permanent home in the art museum. Though they are archaeological objects\, with very few interesting primarily for their aesthetic value\, many lack information about their origin and many can be easily identified as modern forgeries or reproductions. This talk explores the process of trying to use the constraints to put the lamp collection to use in service of the larger museum’s goals. \nBrownBag_Rittershaus \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:From Club to Third Space: On the Interrogation and Creation of Community at the Scarab Club\, Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 22 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Megan Berkobien (PhD candidate\, Comparative Literature) \nFrom Club to Third Space: On the Interrogation and Creation of Community at the Scarab Club\, Detroit \nFor over a century\, the Scarab Club has been an important gathering space for artists and patrons in Detroit’s museum district. Yet\, while the Scarab Club takes its mission as “foster[ing] a stronger\, more vibrant arts community in Detroit\,” the majority of its members and staff live outside of the city. In this sense\, it is no surprise that the once-exclusive Club has yet to transcend its legacy as an organization closed to large swaths of the Detroit community\, including those most marginalized by the suburb-city divide. As an intern\, I worked alongside staff to get intentional about community making and inclusion. In addition to assisting in day-to-day operations\, I designed a visitor’s survey\, supported and coordinated programming that featured Detroiters of color\, and facilitated conversations about equity and governance whenever possible. In this talk\, I will discuss how the Club might confront its history of exclusion through creative exhibition and programming\, and\, by doing so\, better position itself as a gallery and arts venue that uplifts artists from within the city. \nBrownBag_Berkobien \n

SUMMARY:Locating and Relocating Lugdunum: Collection Management at Lugdunum — Musée et théâtres romains\, Lyon
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 15 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Craig Harvey (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nLocating and Relocating Lugdunum: Collection Management at Lugdunum — Musée et théâtres romains\, Lyon \nThe archaeology museum of Lyon\, recently renamed to Lugdunum – Musée et théâtres romains\, is located on the hill of Fourvière\, overlooking the ancient theatres of the Roman city of Lugdunum. This museum is home to an impressive collection of artefacts from the city of Lyon and the surrounding region. The museum’s collection can be divided into two parts. The first\, known as the fonds ancien\, comprises thousands of inscriptions\, statues\, and other ancient works of art collected over the centuries by Lyon’s Musée des Beaux-Arts and gifted to the archaeology museum at its opening in 1975. The second part is the ever-increasing collection of archaeological artefacts uncovered by excavation and deposited in the museum repository\, as is required by French law. The fact that many of the museum’s objects have been in collections for centuries coupled with the growing number of artefacts from new excavations makes for a difficult collection to manage. \nThis past fall\, I had the opportunity to work with the museum’s collection\, both assisting with an inventory of all artefacts on display and helping with the move of the museum’s storage to an off-site facility. During my time at the museum\, I encountered issues concerning the accessibility and documentation of this very large and old collection. In addition to discussing these issues\, this talk will provide a brief introduction to Lugdunum – Musée et théâtres romains and give an overview of my internship there. It will also present examples of how the museum is making its collection more accessible to scholars despite recently moving the majority of its storage to a decentralized location. These initiatives include the creation of an online database and the use of new gallery spaces outside the museum. \nBrownBag_Harvey \n  \n

SUMMARY:Interpreting Objects and Exhibitions at the National Museum of Eritrea
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 1 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Timnet Gedar (PhD candidate\, History) \nInterpreting Objects and Exhibitions at the National Museum of Eritrea \nThe National Museum of Eritrea was established in 1992\, a year after the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front earned victory in a thirty-year war for independence. This history has shaped the nature of exhibits and interpretation at the museum in ways that both limit outcomes and allow for creativity. In this presentation\, I weave together this history with my practical work of writing object labels and exhibit introductions in order to understand the meaning and challenges of interpretive content at museums — especially museums in a postcolonial African setting. \nBrownBag_Gedar \n \n

SUMMARY:Dealing with Africa and African Things at the Ethnografiska Museet\, Stockholm
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, February 15 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  James Munene (PhD\, Anthropology) \nDealing with Africa and African Things at the Ethnografiska Museet\, Stockholm \nThe Ethnografiska Museet (Museum of Ethnography)\, Stockholm became part of the Swedish Museums of World Culture in 1999. The museum has a collection of about 220\,000 items from different parts of the continent.  The first collection from Africa came to Sweden in the 18th century from South Africa. Today\, the museum has over 900 collections from 47 out of 54 countries in Africa. In the early 20th century\, Swedish missionaries brought back a large number of objects from the Congo\, Ethiopia\, and South Africa. \nRepresentation of Africa and collections from Africa is an issue the museum has struggled with over the last many years. During my internship at the museum\, I was engaged in several activities surrounding this issue. My talk will mirror some on my experiences focusing on the subject areas relating to learning from objects\, the museum in the changing world and museum identity and representation. \nBrownBag_Munene

SUMMARY:Museums as Sites of Healing: Empathy\, Repair\, and Critical Reflection
DESCRIPTION:What are the ethical responsibilities of university museums when our local communities face profound crises and occasions of injustice? How might we foster compassion and promote conversations that can build enduring community bonds\, while honoring our academic commitments to promoting critical analysis and stewardship of our scientific and cultural collections? \nMichigan State University Museum Director Mark Auslander explores several instances\, in which museums have grappled with moral challenges close to home\, including facing up to legacies of slavery on a college campuses and the threatened mass eviction of a low-income neighborhood. His primary case study is the MSU Museum’s current partnership with the survivors of the horrific sexual abuse crisis at MSU\, in which the museum has committed to collecting material culture and narratives associated with the crisis and co-curating with survivors and parents an exhibition on the scandal\, its ramifications\, and struggles for institutional transformation. What lessons have been learned and how might we\, together\, chart productive pathways forward? \nPresented by Mark Auslander – Director\, MSU Museum and Associate Professor of Anthropology and History\, Michigan State University \nDecember 7 at 12:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room \n  \nco-sponsored by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies \n  \nBrownBag_Auslander \n  \n \nphotography credit Pearl Yee Wong

SUMMARY:Digital Aspirations: The Design of an Online Exhibit at a Site of Conscience in Nicaragua
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Allan Martell\, PhD candidate\, Information \nFriday\, December 8 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nDigital Aspirations: The Design of an Online Exhibit at a Site of Conscience in Nicaragua \nSites of conscience serve the public by raising awareness about contemporary issues such as transnational migrations\, racism\, and gender inequalities. Such is the case for the Institute of History of Nicaragua and Central America (IHNCA). In this talk\, I will share my experience designing the concept of a digital exhibit at IHNCA\, and how this project feeds into larger conversations about the contributions of digital technologies to the museum mission. I argue that the way museum professionals talk about digital technologies reveal their aspirations for what a museum can be. However\, such aspirations do not always match the affordances of digital technologies. \n  \nMuseums at Noon_Martell

SUMMARY:Narrative and Nationalism: Islamic Science in American Museum Practice
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Amanda Respess\, PhD candidate\, Anthropology and History \nFriday\,  November 17 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nNarrative and Nationalism: Islamic Science in American Museum Practice \nArtifacts important to the history of science in Islamicate societies occupy peculiar ground in American museums\, often having trajectories in collections and exhibits that obscure\, rather than clarify\, their provenance and significance. Islamicate societies from the eighth century to the early modern period authored scientific advancements in an astonishing number of fields\, producing a multitude of objects now housed in museum collections around the world. These objects are\, however\, often conspicuously absent in American science museums; they are instead scattered among the collections of American art museums\, where their scientific importance is often sidelined. \nThis talk\, centered on a discussion of the Smithsonian\, examines the historical context of the acquisition of these objects and their itineraries through American collections and exhibitions\, which have offered a variety of narrative techniques used to assign them meanings while on display. What emerges from this analysis is a history of nation-building in American museums that tells a very particular story about the nature of science\, and about who and what can be considered its legitimate stakeholders\, or claim it as a cultural inheritance. \n  \nMuseums at Noon_Respess

SUMMARY:What Happens When a Museum Is Something Other than a Museum?
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Zachary Kopin\, PhD\, History \nFriday\, November 3 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nWhat Happens When a Museum Is Something Other than a Museum? \nConstitution Hill was once a notorious prison in colonial and apartheid South Africa. Churchill\, Ghandi\, Nelson and Winnie Mandela\, and Fatima Meer were imprisoned there. It was not uncommon for 75 prisoners to find themselves confined to a cell the size of a classroom. At the turn of the millennium\, in an effort to reclaim the space\, the newly democratic South Africa decided to place its Constitutional Court on the site\, while the city\, provincial\, and national governments created an entity to manage the site and tell its history. Many know Constitution Hill as a museum. Its formal name\, however\, is the Constitution Hill Development Company. \nWhat happens to a museum when its primary function is not to put its collections on display? This talk will discuss how the mandate to develop a precinct changes how a museum operates — the opportunities and risks that mandate creates. And how\, in a country struggling to recover from the damage of its past\, one balances reclamation against the demands of heritage preservation. \n  \nMuseums at Noon_Kopin
