SUMMARY:Opening exhibition reception - "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 in Weiser Hall. The conversation will be moderated by curators Grace Mahoney and Jessica Zychowicz.\n\n  \nThis exhibit is hosted by the Institute for Research on Women & Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and is cosponsored by the Center for Russian\, East European & Eurasian Studies\, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures\, the Museum Studies Program\, the Weiser Center for Eastern Europe and Eurasia\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies at the University of Michigan. \nEvent flyer

SUMMARY:Kelsey Museum Flash Talk - In Search of Hamzeh Carr
DESCRIPTION:In 1925\, the University of Michigan’s archaeological expedition to Egypt commissioned artist Hamzeh Carr to make facsimiles of the colorful murals they were discovering\, and these images have been widely reproduced ever since.

SUMMARY:MSP Student Engagement Board kick-off meeting
DESCRIPTION:As we navigate the start of this new academic year\, we are excited to share an important new initiative here at the Museum Studies Program. We are launching an MSP student engagement board (name TBD!)! Run by students and for students\, we imagine the group organizing social activities\, sponsoring workshops and visiting speakers\, and promoting field trips to our campus and regional museums. Our hope is also that this initiative will create the possibility of forging closer bonds and exchanges across MSP graduate student cohorts. \nOther potential roles for the group might include naming a student to serve on the MSP Steering Committee and active participation in the planning and implementing of “The MSP @ 20” – our program’s 20th anniversary which we will be celebrating in 2022. And this is just the beginning! We anticipate that the advisory body will develop a life and energy of its own that will inform and enrich our existing MSP endeavors. Designated funds will be made available to support the work of the student committee and we would also love to see a student-led blog spring to life on our MSP web page. \n\nPlease consider how you can help us shape this new effort and make it into a special part of the MSP! \nJoin us for an initial conversation via Zoom on Friday\, Oct 8 at 3 pm. \nJoin Zoom Meeting: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99373716602 \nMeeting ID: 993 7371 6602 \nPasscode: 247085

DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Estrella Salgado (Class of 2021\, BA History\, Museum Studies Minor) \nWhen:  12:00 pm on Monday\, April 19 \nWhere: Online via Zoom (Meeting ID: 939 6236 5716 / Passcode: 584236) \n“Centrally Located\, Easily Reached”: An Evolving Museum and Department Store in the Progressive Era \nIn a 1913 essay\, museum reformer John Cotton Dana boldly suggested\, “A great city department store of the first class is perhaps more like a good museum of art than are any of the museums we have yet established.” In the Progressive Era\, museums were elite institutions with little context for the uninitiated. Dana saw a more democratic possibility\, and observed the department store as a model for bringing in many people from different classes. He also believed that forming connections with local businesses was valuable\, and fortunately\, Louis Bamberger of Bamberger’s department store agreed. The businessman funded the creation of Dana’s Newark Museum\, and he had a keen appreciation about how aligning with arts and culture increased Bamberger’s revenue and reputation. The interactions between these organizations provide a compelling lens through which to view the increased accessibility and commercialization of museums\, as well as the cultural capital sought after by corporations. \nEstrella’s presentation is the culminating feature of a year-long independent research project mentored by Prof. Thomas Willette (Department of the History of Art and the Residential College’s Arts and Ideas Program) and sponsored by the Museum Studies Minor. \nSalgado flyer

SUMMARY:Nji Kchi-Nshinaabe’baniik Gdish-Chigemi Wi (We Do This for the Ancestors):  The Basics of NAGPRA
DESCRIPTION:When:  Friday\, April 16th at 1:00pm\nWho:  Panelists:\n\nWilliam Johnson – Ziibiwing Center of AnishinaabeCulture & Lifeways\, Interim Director\nVeronica Pasfield – Bay Mills Indian Community NAGPRA Designee\nAmadeaus Scott – UMMAA NAGPRA Collections Manager\n\n\nWhere:  Register/Webinar link can be found at: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_agbr9WzoQaGnCxSfAc_YQQ\n\n  \nThe Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (NAGPRA) created a federal legal process for the return of Native American human remains and cultural items to Native American Tribes and Native Hawaiian Organizations.  However\, the work that museums and tribes complete together can also be used as an opportunity to create good and lasting relationships that extend beyond NAGPRA. \n  \nHow can museum best practices and traditional tribal knowledge work together in mutually beneficial ways?  How can transparency and mutual respect forge productive relationships between tribes and museums?  How can future collaborations emerge as a result of the personal and professional relationships that are developed? \n  \nThe panelists will provide a basic overview of NAGPRA compliance through a consideration of both the tribal and museum sides of the process.  They will also draw from practical experience to show how indigenous knowledge and teachings can help inform and improve professional methods of care and an understanding of the best practices of museums. \n  \nSponsors: \n\nUM College of Literature\, Sciences\, and the Arts\nUM Office of Government Relations\nUM Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\nUM Office of Research\nUM Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\nUM Museum Studies Program\nUM Department of American Culture\nUM Native American Studies Program\nNative American and Indigenous Studies Interdisciplinary Group\n\nOnline Poster – NAGPRA Basics Talk (4-16-2021)

SUMMARY:Reforming Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 13th 2021 at 1:00pm EST.  \nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99936418245 \nDutch artist Hans van Houwelingen will reflect on his ongoing research on commemorative monuments. Apart from the hardware of monuments\, he explores how to reform the practice of commemoration itself. Van Houwelingen and the Indonesian artist Iswanto Hartono (Ruangrupa) are currently collaborating on a research project to investigate both the presence and the absence of monuments in colonial locations. Among his case studies are monuments in Indonesia removed after 1945 Independence. The Van Heutsz monument in Jakarta\, designed by the Dutch architect Willem Marinus Dudok\, was destroyed just after the Independence of Indonesia. Meanwhile\, the Van Heutsz monument in Amsterdam exists today as the Indie Nederland Monument. These and other monuments enter into the discussion of commemoration and its erasure. \nHans van Houwelingen (1957) lives and works in Amsterdam. He was educated at the Minerva Art Academy in Groningen and at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. His work is internationally manifested in the form of interventions in public space\, exhibitions\, lectures and publications\, in which he investigates the relations between art\, politics and ideology. He publishes regularly in newspapers and magazines. The monograph STIFF Hans van Houwelingen vs. Public Art (Artimo\, 2004) offers an overview of his projects and texts and an extensive reflection on his work. The publication Update describes the permanent update of the Lorentzmonument in Arnhem (NL) during the exhibition Sonsbeek 2008. Undone (Jap Sam Books\, 2011)\, compiled and edited by curator Mihnea Mircan\, presents nine critical reflections on three recent works. \nOrganized by the Committee on Equity\, Department of History of Art and co-sponsored by the Museum Studies Program. Kristin Hass (Associate Professor of American Culture and Faculty Coordinator of the Humanities Collaboratory) to moderate. \nAdditional information can be found here.

SUMMARY:Curating Covid: Material and Visual Cultures of the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:December 2 at 12:00 pm (online lecture) \nWhile there is so far no known cure for Covid and the disease continues to kill thousands daily around the globe\, humanity has spent the better part of this year attempting to make do – some by doing their best to protect themselves and their loved ones as they continue to perform the work essential to their survival or deemed essential by society; others\, by sheltering in place\, reducing the radius of our daily activities\, developing new routines. \nHow will we know and remember all this? Who is the chronicler of Covid\, who are its curators? What will be the sources\, not of the political histories and for future medical research\, but for narrating the pandemic as experience\, for explaining its everyday reality to future generations? \nThis panel of brief presentations aims to prompt our collective thinking about a Covid archive\, and how it will be constructed. Presenters from different disciplines and national backgrounds will be asked to share images or objects that bring our pandemic present into focus and allow us to explore together questions for the future: who is collecting what? What are the objects in which our daily experience materializes\, and which might speak to the future? Where and how does the pandemic leave its traces in our visual cultures\, and (how) do these differ depending on national contexts? The virus itself knows no borders\, but can we discern transnational and global patterns in our responses in an increasingly fractured world? \n  \nSpeakers: \nSarah Gensburger\, Institut des sciences sociales du politique (Paris) \nSara Blair\, University of Michigan\, Dept. of English (Ann Arbor) \nAlexandra Lord\, National Museum of American History (Washington DC) \nAlexandra Archipova\, Center for Theoretical Folklore Studies\, RANEPA (Moscow) \n  \nSponsored by: WCEE / CES / CREES\, Humanities Collaboratory\, Museum Studies Program \nRegistration is required for this Zoom webinar at http://myumi.ch/yK555 \nAdditional information can be found here. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:CLIFF 2020: (Counter) Narratives of Migration
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \nThe Museum Studies Program is proud to co-sponsor the 2020 CLIFF conference.  CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter) Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. The conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media. \nThis year’s keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, civil engagement\, and human rights. \nAdditional information about the conference can be found here.

SUMMARY:Repatriation and Restitution of Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:  \nRepatriation and Restitution of Cultural Heritage: Museums\, Universities\, and the Ethics of Community Engagement \nDepartment of Classical Studies\nDEI Committee \nRoundtable:\nRepatriation and Restitution of Cultural Heritage: Museums\, Universities\, and the Ethics of Community Engagement \nOctober 25\, 2:30-3:30PM\nClassics Library \nThis roundtable was prompted by similar events in US universities (e.g. Brown University)\, after the publication of the Savoy report in November 2018 (The Restitution of African Cultural Heritage: Towards a New Relational Ethics.) The report defines restitution and outlines its implications beyond questions of legitimate ownership which often dominate discussions on the topic. \nFrom the report: “Restitutions open up a profound reflection on history\, memories\, and the colonial past\, concerning the history as well as the formation and development of Western museum collections. But just as importantly the question of restitution also bears on the question of the different interpretations or conceptions of cultural heritage\, of the museum\, and their various modalities of the presentation of objects as well as their circulation and\, in the end\, the nature and quality of relations between people and nation.” \nAccording to the report\, stolen and looted objects constitute a “diaspora” and additional violence is inscribed onto the objects themselves as they are altered\, reshaped\, varnished\, cleaned\, etc. How are such objects to be “restituted” and “repatriated”\, the report asks? And why seek to repatriate at all? Does repatriation foster community engagement? What are the power dynamics among the multiple stakeholders in such engagements? \nThe report raises questions that resonate beyond African Art and with this event we hope to raise similar questions as they pertain to our institutional and disciplinary practices. \nThe roundtable brings together specialists from different fields: \nBrendan Haug\, Assistant Professor\, Classical Studies and Archivist of the UM Papyrology Collection\nShelley Perlove\, Professor Emerita\, History of Art\nRay Silverman\, Professor History of Art\, DAAS\, Museum Studies\nLisa C.

SUMMARY:“The Unvarnished Truth”: Reframing the National Narrative at the National Museum of African American History and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by William S. Pretzer\, Senior Curator of History\, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture \n  \nThe Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture opened on the National Mall in Washington\, DC\, in September 2016.  More than six million individuals have visited the museum in its first three years of operation. \nThe Presidential Commission created in 2001 directed the museum to “give voice to the centrality of the African American experience and make it possible for all people to understand the depth\, complexity\, and promise of the American experience.” \nFrom the beginning\, Founding Director Lonnie G. Bunch III and his staff heeded the exhortation of historian John Hope Franklin\, chair of the museum’s Scholarly Advisory Committee\, “to tell the unvarnished truth.” That principle energized an exhibition plan informed by public conversations\, a collecting program relying on individual and family legacies\, a narrative format balancing the personal with the social\, and a funding strategy emphasizing the “African American experience as the lens through which we understand what it is to be American.” \nThis presentation demonstrates the impact of these foundational principles and strategies through an illustrated tour of the inaugural exhibitions. \n  \nWilliam Pretzer is the Senior Curator for History at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture where he is developing the museum’s Center for African American Innovation and Entrepreneurship. He co-curated “A Changing America: 1968 and Beyond\,” one of the museum’s twelve inaugural exhibitions.  Pretzer began his museum career as a historian at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History from 1980-1984.  Following tenure as a Project Director at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware\, he then spent 21 years as a curator and educator at The Henry Ford in Michigan where he developed exhibitions\, chaired the museum’s Collection and Publication committees\, and served as Director of Educational Programs.  From 2006 to 2009 he served as Director of the Museum of Cultural & Natural History as well as Director of the Museum Studies Program and Associate Professor of History at Central Michigan University. \n  \n \nPretzerFlyer
