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  URL:https://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/curating-covid-material-and-visual-cultures-of-the-pandemic/ LOCATION:Online via Zoom CATEGORIES:Other END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200420T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200420T200000 DTSTAMP:20260619T065518 CREATED:20200311T154203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200601T015214Z UID:10000064-1587405600-1587412800@ummsp.rackham.umich.edu SUMMARY:MSP19 Student Capstone Presentations DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \nPresentations for this evening are as follows: \n6:00 pm – Arab American National Museum: Best Practices for Using Maps in Museums \nPresented by Comfort Mtotha\, Caroline Nemechek\, Alexandria Rayburn \nHost institution:  Arab American National Museum \n  \n7:00 pm – Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center: Deploying ‘Stories from Main Street’ \nPresented by Caitlin Dyche\, Mark Ramirez \nHost institution: Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center \n  \n  \nPresentations will be held in 5670 Haven Hall\, Eldersveld Room \n  \nA full schedule of all Capstone presentations can be viewed here: Capstone Flyer 2020_Final URL:https://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/msp19-student-capstone-presentations-2/ LOCATION:Haven Hall\, Eldersveld Room\, 505 S.

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.

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.

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 URL:https://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/the-unvarnished-truth-reframing-the-national-narrative-at-the-national-museum-of-african-american-history-and-culture/ LOCATION:U-M Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium\, 525 S.

She has shown in both solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including New York\, Washington\, DC\, Shanghai\, and Seoul. Additionally\, Kim has been awarded several residencies such as MacDowell Colony\, Kohler Arts Center\, Triangle\, and the Roswell Artist in Residence Fellowship. Kim has also held several positions as a visiting artist and professor. A 2018–2019 Roman Witt Resident\, Kim is creating a multimedia installation work in collaboration with the Stamps School community and composer George Tsontakis that seeks to explore themes around Korean “comfort women”— the female prisoners of the Japanese army during World War II.  Kim states: “Although my installation project was conceived and initiated before my awareness of the #MeToo movement developing in the States and around the world\, it seems to me to be so poignantly connected to the historical plight of women everywhere. While the travails of the Korean ‘comfort women’ are an extreme example of women’s integrity being compromised\, the assault sadly continues on various levels and by different degrees.” \nPresented with support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) and the Institute for the Humanities. \nAdditional details can be found here.

W. Mesker Associate Professor of Art History and Archaeology\, Chinese Art and Architecture\, Washington University in St. Louis \nThe History of Art Department at the University of Michigan presents graduate student presentations for its biannual Graduate Symposium\, Expansive Realities: A Longer History of the “Virtual” in Art\, Architecture\, and Visual Culture. \nAs artistic practice increasingly engages with digital media and the virtual\, our symposium aims to foster discussions of the theoretical\, social\, and cultural nature of this phenomenon. While often linked to the digital age\, the virtual implies imagined and immersive spaces that defy material and physical boundaries.  Presentations will examine intersections between art and the virtual in a variety of historical and cultural contexts\, investigating the virtual not only in relation to contemporary visual culture\, but also as a phenomenon extending to the pre-modern periods of the history of art. \nCo-sponsored by UM Museum Studies Program\, UM Museum of Art\, Department of Classical Studies\, Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Department of American Culture\, Comparative Literature\, Confucius Institute\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Slavic Languages & Literatures\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology URL:https://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/expansive-realities-a-longer-history-of-the-virtual-in-art-architecture-and-visual-culture/ LOCATION:U-M Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium\, 525 S.

The unprecedented looting of modern wars as well as various protest movements have spawned international regulations\, declarations\, and efforts that offer guidance in this regard. The extant framework\, however\, falls short of exhausting the ethical problems raised by artifacts\, their histories\, and their displays. For museum and university collections these questions have gained the greatest urgency. Our panel offers reflections on this vast terrain; three case studies will follow an opening contribution by one of the foremost experts on restitution\, repatriation\, and cultural heritage law. \nPanelists:\nPatty Gerstenblith\, Distinguished Research Professor of Law\, DePaul University\nRaymond Silverman\, Professor\, History of Art\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, University of Michigan\nTerry G.

Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka.

Pamela McClusky\, Curator of African and Oceanic Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, will be the second speaker in this series to contribute reflections on her own groundbreaking work in the display of African art. \nMcClusky established a department for the Art of Africa\, Oceania and the Americas at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1980s.  It became the museum’s fastest growing department\, receiving several significant collections\, and hosting a vast range of exhibitions.  Honoring the depth of the African holdings\, she led a collaborative process with African artists\, scholars\, and advisors to create a national tour\, publication and web resource entitled: Long Steps Never Broke a Back in 2002-2004.\nDuring the last decade\, she has collaborated on exhibitions such as Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth\, Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise\, and Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats. When the Seattle Art Museum expanded in 2007\, she curated multiple galleries of African art\, along with experimental installations that mixed cultural perspectives and cross continental boundaries. In 2012\, she led an effort to place Australian art in the permanent galleries and oversaw an exhibition\, publication and tour called Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art.  Recently\, she was the lead curator for Disguise: Masks and Global African Art\, a national touring exhibition that combined masks of the past with masquerading of the present\, and Mood Indigo: Textiles from Around the World.  She is now working on a new design and interpretation of the African collection galleries which will focus on the distinctions between public and private art and the ways they are presented in museums. \nAdditional featured speakers include:\nThursday\, October 19\, 7 p.m.: Mary (Polly) Nooter Roberts\, Professor\, UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance and Consulting Curator for African Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) \nThursday\, November 30\, 7 p.m.: Christa Clarke\, Senior Curator Arts of Global Africa\, Newark Museum \n  \n\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. \nThis lecture series is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Museum Studies Program. \nThe series is presented in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa (on view from August 19-December 31\, 2017). \n\nCuratorial_Dilemmas_poster URL:https://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/curatorial-dilemmas-representing-africa-at-umma-with-pamela-mcclusky/ LOCATION:U-M Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium\, 525 S.
