SUMMARY:Tour of “Secrets of State: The Declassified History of the Chilean Dictatorship” exhibition at Weiser Hall gallery
DESCRIPTION:Weiser Hall – II Gallery\, Room 555 (5th Floor) (500 Church St.) \nJoin Eimeel Castillo (MSP18 alumna\, curatorial assistant\, and PhD candidate in History and Women’s & Gender Studies) for a tour of “Secrets of State:  The Declassified History of the Chilean Dictatorship” exhibition.

SUMMARY:I See What You're Saying: A WICAD Symposium at UMMA
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan Museum of Art A Symposium on WICAD (the Workshop on Inclusive Co-Creation of Audio Descriptions) With Museum Visitors Who Are Blind\, Partially-blind\, And Sighted at UMMA\n8 – 10:30 AM – Public Panel Discussion\, Moderated by Audrey Bennett \nLocation:  University of Michigan Museum of Art \nFor generations\, large swaths of the population have been excluded from experiencing exhibitions at art museums. Those who are sighted have the privilege of visiting museums and engaging with the art within its spaces\, including reading contextual information about each piece on the placards positioned nearby. Museums have assumed that it is acceptable to make sight compulsory to engage with art and that sight alone is sufficient. However\, those who are blind and partially blind\, for instance\, are marginalized from these cultural experiences though they have a legal right to access and experience them. While the conversation around the uses of audio description started decades ago (Synder 2005)\, in recent years\, it has emerged as a viable way to facilitate blind and partially blind museum visitors experiencing museum artwork through oral descriptions of them facilitated via virtual and in-person experiences (Eardley et al. 2017; Anagnostakis et al. 2016)\, particularly during the Covid age of social distancing. However\, in those conversations\, audio descriptions are typically created solely by museum professionals\, without input from visitors who are blind and partially blind. Join us for a symposium at the University of Michigan Museum of Art to launch a generative co-creation of audio description educational program that brings together museum professionals with community members to co-create audio descriptions of select artwork from UMMA’s collection. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Building the Gacaca Digital Archive
DESCRIPTION:UMSI welcomes guest speaker Jean-Damascène Gasanabo\, PhD\, former Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG). \nThe presentation will take place at the School of Information in North Quad Space 2435 and online. \nWatch online via Zoom \nAbstract\nAfter the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda\, more than 130\,000 inmates were imprisoned and accused of genocide crimes. The country was operating through fire and blood! The judicial system was destroyed – judges and lawyers had been killed or exiled in neighboring countries. To judge the genocidaires\, the government decided to reintroduce the Traditional Jurisdictions Courts called Gacaca. This talk will emphasize what Gacaca did as a court and how it worked during the trials; the digitization process of the 45 million pages of Gacaca files; and the impact of the Gacaca files on society after the digitization. \nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar; African Studies Center; Museum Studies Program; Ethics\, Society and Computing; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund. \nSpeaker bio \nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula. As the Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG)\, I managed and led research projects as well as designed\, implemented\, monitored\, and assessed projects related to the Genocide against the Tutsi. Key projects included the digitization of forty-five million pages and four thousand audio-visual materials from Rwanda’s Gacaca Courts\, the preservation of textiles at the Nyamata genocide memorial site\, the preservation of bodies at the Murambi genocide memorial site\, and the preservation of artifacts in six other national genocide memorial sites in Rwanda. Between 2013 and 2015\, I also participated in a team responsible for designing Rwanda’s new national education curriculum for history and civic education. I am currently a Consultant with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for their Accelerator Lab 8.7 Program\, which provides funding and support to international organizations with innovative solutions to tackle child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking.

SUMMARY:Genocide Ideology and Denial in Rwanda
DESCRIPTION:UMSI welcomes guest speaker Jean-Damascène Gasanabo\, PhD\, former Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG). \nThe presentation will take place at the School of Information in North Quad Space 2435 and online. \nPlease RSVP for lunch \nWatch online via Zoom \nAbstract\nDespite the unequivocal evidence that the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi occurred in Rwanda\, some still endeavour to expunge that atrocity from historical records. All genocide starts with a destructive ideology and followed afterwards by denial. This talk will re-examine the concepts of genocide ideology and denial\, how they are linked and how they contributed to the killings of Tutsi from 1959 up to 1994. Available literature as well as recent cases will be thoroughly analyzed\, both at local and international level\, to understand different forms and trends of genocide ideology and denial\, with specific emphasis on the Rwandan case. \nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar; African Studies Center; Museum Studies Program; Ethics\, Society and Computing; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund. \nSpeaker bio \nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula.

SUMMARY:Museum Collections: Considering Access & Transparency through Visible Storage
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, museums have increasingly turned to open storage techniques to display parts of their collection which would otherwise not be on public view.  Though this approach still feels somewhat radical\, the concept of visible storage in museum practice started at the University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology in the 1970’s and\, in the intervening decades\, has expanded and evolved with examples seen around the world.  Recently\, significant new “open storage” projects have appeared regularly\, notably the Depot Boijmans van Beuningen which opened in Rotterdam in 2021 and the Victoria & Albert’s new East Storehouse in Stratford\, east London\, slated to open in 2024.  The foundations for this decades-long trend are found in the impulse to democratize museums and to make available the depth and breadth of collections typically hidden away in museum vaults.  The increased transparency that visible storage brings to museums has been touted as one way to make collections more accessible to their communities. \nFor this conversation on open and visible storage in museums\, the University of Michigan’s Museum Studies Program is delighted to welcome Susan Rowley\, Director\, Museum of Anthropology\, University of British Columbia\, and Bridget Callahan\, Luce Foundation Center Program Coordinator\, Smithsonian Institution. Guided by these two museum professionals\, we will explore the history of “visible” collections storage and how technology and new considerations of democratized access have changed the design and use of museum holdings.  Questions of ethics\, equity\, standards of care\, and programming will also be addressed. \n  \nPanelists: \nBridget Callahan – Coordinator\, Luce Foundation Center Program\, Smithsonian Institution (Washington\, D.C.) \nSusan Rowley – Director\, Museum of Anthropology\, University of British Columbia (Vancouver\, Canada) \nModerator: \nDeirdre Hennebury\, Associate Director\, UM Museum Studies Program \n\nRegistration for this webinar is required. \n\nThis panel discussion will be presented online via Zoom and will feature real time captioning.  If you would like to request an ASL interpreter\, please email ummsp@umich.edu by November 1. \n\nVisible Storage and Museum Access_flyer

SUMMARY:10 Questions for Henry Ford
DESCRIPTION:10 Questions for Henry Ford is a documentary art film that examines the controversial life and legacy of the world’s most famous industrialist. A carefully researched combination of historical fact and poetic imagining\, the film draws on newspaper interviews\, archival film\, oral histories\, and Henry Ford’s personal notebooks to contrast the popular Ford myth with a far more complicated reality. \nStarring acclaimed actor John Lepard as the lingering ghost of Henry Ford\, 10 Questions investigates Ford’s often sanitized place in American History\, and reveals disturbing parallels between the Age of Ford\, and our world today. \nPlease join us for a discussion of the film\, and of the issues it raises\, with filmmaker Andy Kirshner and a distinguished panel of scholars from the University of Michigan. \nThe panel event will be moderated by Professor Angela Dillard (History\, Afroamerican and African Studies)\, and will include Professors Kerstin Barndt (German\, Museum Studies)\, William Calvo-Quíros (American Culture\, Art & Design)\, and Deborah Dash Moore (History\, Judaic Studies.) There will also be an opportunity for questions from the audience. \nThe “10 Questions for Henry Ford” film can be viewed here. \n \n

SUMMARY:In Process: A Symposium in Honor of Ray Silverman
DESCRIPTION:Colleagues\, students\, and members of the community are invited to join in celebrating Ray Silverman’s retirement from his position as Professor of History of Art\, African Studies\, and Museum Studies with a two-day symposium at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Inspired by Dr. Silverman’s seminal volume\, Museums as Process: Translating Local and Global Knowledges (Routledge 2014)\, the symposium invites discussion about methodologies\, challenges\, and benefits of undertaking scholarship\, museum work\, and creative production through collaboration and community engagement. We ask\, what does it mean for the process of collaboration to be an end in itself\, and how might this perspective shift values in the academy and beyond? \nThe program will begin on the afternoon of Friday\, September 30 and end late-afternoon on Saturday\, October 1\, 2022. It will be an in-person event taking place in the Helmut Stern Auditorium at the U-M Museum of Art (UMMA). \nSpeakers: \nKelly Askew\, University of Michigan\nDaniel Berhanemeskel\, artist\nDonald Buaku\, City of Houston\nGeoff Emberling\, University of Michigan\nRobert Glew\, Michigan State University\nErica Lehrer\, Concordia University\, Montreal\nAllison Martino\, Indiana University\nPrita Meier\, New York University\nDerek Peterson\, University of Michigan\nFranc Nunoo-Quarcoo\, University of Michigan\nHeran Sereke-Brhan\, DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities\nCarla Sinopoli\, University of New Mexico\nNeal Sobania\, Pacific Lutheran University \nThe complete symposium schedule can be viewed here. \nCo-sponsorship provided by the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Museum of Art\, Museum of Natural History\, Museum Studies Program and the Departments of History of Art and Afroamerican and African Studies

We ask\, what does it mean for the process of collaboration to be an end in itself\, and how might this perspective shift values in the academy and beyond? \nThe program will begin on the afternoon of Friday\, September 30 and end late-afternoon on Saturday\, October 1\, 2022. It will be an in-person event taking place in the Helmut Stern Auditorium at the U-M Museum of Art (UMMA). \nSpeakers:\nKelly Askew\, University of Michigan\nDaniel Berhanemeskel\, artist\nDonald Buaku\, City of Houston\nGeoff Emberling\, University of Michigan\nRobert Glew\, Michigan State University\nErica Lehrer\, Concordia University\, Montreal\nAllison Martino\, Indiana University\nPrita Meier\, New York University\nDerek Peterson\, University of Michigan\nFranc Nunoo-Quarcoo\, University of Michigan\nHeran Sereke-Brhan\, DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities\nCarla Sinopoli\, University of New Mexico\nNeal Sobania\, Pacific Lutheran University \nThe complete symposium schedule can be viewed here. \nCo-sponsorship provided by the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Museum of Art\, Museum of Natural History\, Museum Studies Program and the Departments of History of Art and Afroamerican and African Studies

SUMMARY:Roundtable conversation - "I have a crisis for you": Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War
DESCRIPTION:In February 2022\, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival. Curated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, “I have a crisis for you”: Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship. The exhibit is accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources. \n\nOpening reception on Thursday\, September 15 from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. in the Lane Hall Gallery.\nA roundtable conversation with artists featured in the exhibition “I have a crisis for you”: Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War on Friday\, September 16 from 3:30 – 5:00.
