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:Terribly Close: Polish Vernacular Artists Face the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Erica Lehrer\, Concordia University \nCan inanimate objects store and communicate traumatic memory that cannot be directly expressed? This talk examines ‘folk art’ made by non-professional Polish artists – many of them village laborers – documenting the German Nazi occupation of Poland and the Holocaust. Made largely in the 1960s and 70s\, these objects are uncanny: at times deeply moving\, at others grotesque\, they can also be disturbing for the ways they impose Catholic idioms on Jewish suffering\, or upend accepted roles of victim\, perpetrator\, and bystander. \nDr. Lehrer introduces forgotten works by some of Poland’s best known “folk” artists from the postwar socialist People’s Republic of Poland\, recently re-discovered in Polish and German ethnographic museums and private collections. Never before treated as a genre\, these objects are complex artworks born of various impulses: their creators were artists\, but also collectors\, ethnographers\, curators\, and ideologues. The oldest example is a painting from ca. 1948 by Sławomir Kosiniak from Zalipie\, a village famous for its decorative floral motifs. Recently discovered in the archives of the Kraków Ethnographic Museum\, it presents the round-up of local Jews. The most recent work is Jedwabne by Jan Kowalczyk\, commissioned by a German collector in 2017. These “awkward objects\,” which fall outside the accepted visual language of Holocaust representation\, provoke profound reactions in viewers\, and raise complex questions about the relationship between art and traumatic memory. \nDr. Erica Lehrer is a Professor of History and Sociology-Anthropology at Concordia University (Montreal)\, sociocultural anthropologist and curator. She also founded and directs Concordia’s Curating and Public Scholarship Lab. Dr. Lehrer is the author of Jewish Poland Revisited: Heritage Tourism in Unquiet Places (2013) and co-editor of three books\, including Curatorial Dreams: Critics Imagine Exhibitions (2016). Her curatorial work includes a number of international exhibition projects\, most recently Terribly Close: Polish Vernacular Artists Face the Holocaust at Kraków Ethnographic Museum in 2018-19. \nThis lecture is presented in partnership with the Frankel Center of Judaic Studies\, CREES (Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies)\, CCPS (Copernicus Center for Polish Studies)\, and WCEE (Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia). \nPresented online via Zoom; registration required. \nClick here for event flyer \n \nSlawomir Kosiniak\, Untitled\, ca. 1948\, Ethnographic Museum in Krakow\, photo by Wojciech Wilczyk

SUMMARY:Colonial Archives and Decolonial Museology - Panel 2
DESCRIPTION:In this series of two webinars\, we inquire into the University of Michigan’s archives\, museums\, visual and living collections to ask how they are implicated in the violent histories of settler colonialism in the United States and US colonialist rule over the Philippines. How can we carry these difficult archives and collections into the future? How do they intersect and in what ways do they differ? What are our responsibilities as researchers\, curators\, and archivists in relation to the collections\, their histories\, and their indigenous and national communities of origin? \n  \nFebruary 19\, 12:00 – 1:30 pm      (Click here to register via Zoom) \nColonial Archives and Decolonial Museology: The National Museum of the Philippines and Philippine Collections at the University of Michigan \nModerator: Kerstin Barndt\, Director\, Museum Studies Program \nPanelists: \n\nDeirdre de la Cruz\, Associate Professor of Southeast Asian Studies\, Associate Professor of History\nAna Labrador\, Deputy Director-General\, National Museum of the Philippines\nRicky Punzalan\, Associate Professor of Information\, School of Information\n\nThis second panel in the series engages with UM’s Philippine Collections\, which include everything from papers of US colonial officers in the Philippines to thousands of photographs\, from funerary objects in the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology to type specimens in the Museum of Zoology and plants in the Herbarium. Deirdre de la Cruz offers a set of reflections and critiques on ‘epistemic’ decolonization and considers the pedagogies of imperial archives. Based on his work with Philippine archives and with digital curation projects in the US\, Ricky Punzalan envisions welcoming museum and archival spaces and UM programs for Philippine scholars and visitors with the goal of sharing collection work and imagining international collaborations. Ana Labrador reflects on her perspective as Deputy Director of the National Museum in Manila and discusses decolonializing museum practice in the Philippines.  \nPanels_Final

SUMMARY:Colonial Archives and Decolonial Museology - Panel 1
DESCRIPTION:In this series of two webinars\, we inquire into the University of Michigan’s archives\, museums\, visual and living collections to ask how they are implicated in the violent histories of settler colonialism in the United States and US colonialist rule over the Philippines. How can we carry these difficult archives and collections into the future? How do they intersect and in what ways do they differ?

Calling for a paradigm shift that emphasizes regeneration and restoration of indigenous ways of living\, David Michener focuses on projects at the UM Matthaei Botanical Garden with deep connections to indigenous culture and agriculture: the Heritage Seed Project and the Mnomen Initiative\, a collaborative indigenous garden project led by Anishinaabek community members. Veronica Williamson\, speaking about her work with co-curator Lindsey Willow Smith (not present for the panel)\, confronts the visual layers of settler-colonialism in postcards and cartes de visite of Native American people. She ponders the possibility of reading the portraits against the grain and reflects on ways to re-historicize and re-humanize the photographs of indigenous people. Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko will share decolonizing museum practices that she co-led in her role as director of the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor\, Maine and now at the Illinois State Museum. \n  \n \nOjibwe men making birch canoes\nJoel E.

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: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: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:Reimagining Detroit’s Museum and Cultural District
DESCRIPTION:In its Midtown district\, Detroit boasts a concentrated set of high-powered cultural institutions. Clustered around the DIA\, they include the Detroit Historical Museum\, The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, the Michigan Science Center\, and the Detroit Public Library. In recent years\, this complex has been the object of urban planning and a landscape design competition. This panel brings together leading experts and participants in this process to reflect on its challenges and promises: \nHow might Detroit’s museums and cultural institutions better serve the city’s communities and empower its people? How do these institutions envision their own futures and how have they collaborated in this process with their Detroit partners? How have they responded to the twin pandemics of systemic racism and Covid-19? \nThe panelists will share their experience with cultural programming\, education\, urban and museum planning in Detroit and discuss Detroit’s Cultural Center Planning Initiative. At the heart of this initiative stands The Detroit Square\, a bold landscape design proposal that would transform the cultural district and create synergy between museums\, visitors\, and urban space in the heart of Detroit. \nPanelists: \nAnya Sirota\, Associate Professor and Associate Dean of Academic Initiatives at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and founding principal of Akoaki \nHarley Etienne\, Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning\, University of Michigan \nOliver Ragsdale\, President and CEO\, The Carr Center \nElana Rugh\, President\, CEO and Executive Director\, Detroit Historical Society \nRegister here. \nMSP_Detroit Square Flyer Final

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

SUMMARY:Our National Marine Sanctuaries\, Protecting America's Underwater Treasures:  A Survey of Michigan's Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater Preserve
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \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\, April 17 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Sarah Waters (Education and Outreach Coordinator\, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary) \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 (TBNMS). 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. \nSarah Waters\, the Education Coordinator of TBNMS\, 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\, 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:Interdisciplinary College and Professional Learning at the Art Institute of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \nExterior of Art Institute of Chicago. \nTitle:  Interdisciplinary College and Professional Learning at the Art Institute of Chicago \nDate:  Thursday\, March 26 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Christina DiFabio (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \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. \nBrownBag_DiFabio

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:Preserving Context for Museum Collections: Implications\, Challenges\, Strategies
DESCRIPTION:This event needed to be cancelled to to COVID-19 precautions. \n \nTitle:  Preserving Context for Museum Collections: Implications\, Challenges\, Strategies \nDate:  Thursday\, March 19 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Jeremy York (PhD candidate\, Information) \nIn this talk\, Jeremy will discuss the importance of preserving contextual information about museum objects and the challenges he experienced in doing so during his Museum Studies internship in the Research Library and Archives at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). Jeremy’s talk will draw on two projects he worked on: assessing the feasibility of using a more robust system to track works that reference items owned by the DIA\, and making digitized photographs from historical exhibitions at the DIA available on the Web. Jeremy will describe some of the strategies he used to address challenges surrounding the capture\, enhancement\, and migration of metadata in these projects\, and reflect on his experience within the broader context of museum theory and practice. \nBrownBag_York

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: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:Listening to Object Witnesses: Decolonizing Research in Museum Collections
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Dr. Margaret M. Bruchac \nHow do Indigenous objects in museum collections speak to those who collect\, curate\, observe\, and claim them? The observable materials and patterns of construction obviously reflect particular ecosystems\, cultures\, and technologies\, but do these objects also retain memories of the artisans who created them? Do they wield more than just imagined meaning or distributed agency? In this talk\, Dr. Bruchac discusses strategies for recovering object histories through material analyses\, consultation\, and critical re-assessments of imposed museological categories (e.g.\, art\, artifact\, utilitarian\, etc.) that may have distanced objects from their origins and isolated them from others like themselves. Case histories will feature new research into iconic creations – such as a 17th century wooden war club embedded with re-purposed wampum beads\, and a shell bead wampum belt with a single glass bead – that function as “object witnesses” to entangled colonial settler/Indigenous encounters. Through her practice of “reverse ethnography\,” Bruchac will reveal how\, in many cases\, memories can be reawakened when otherwise mysterious objects are reconnected with the stories\, ecosystems\, knowledges\, and communities that created them. Object histories can also be recovered by tracking the desires and actions of non-Indigenous curators and collectors who transported these objects and stories to physically and conceptually distant locales. \n  \nDr. Margaret M. Bruchac is an Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Coordinator of Native American and Indigenous Studies\, and Associate Faculty in the Penn Cultural Heritage Center at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a consultant to the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at the American Philosophical Society\, and Director of “The Wampum Trail\,” a restorative research project designed to reconnect wampum belts in museum collections with their related Indigenous communities. Bruchac is co-editor\, with Siobhan Hart and H. Martin Wobst\, of “Indigenous Archaeologies: A Reader in Decolonization” (Left Coast Press 2010). Her new book – “Savage Kin: Indigenous Informants and American Anthropologists” (University of Arizona Press 2018) – was the winner of the 2018 Council for Museum Anthropology Book Award. \n  \nMarch 10 at 6:30 pm \nUM Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Department of American Culture; Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies; LSA/Great Lakes Theme Semester; Native American and Indigenous Student Interest Group; Native American Studies Program; Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion; Program in Science\, Technology and Society (STS); UM Museum of Anthropological Archaeology; UM Office of Research \n \nBruchac lecture announcement_final

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. Young\, Lecturer IV\, Anthropology\, Research Affiliate Museum of Anthropology

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

SUMMARY:"Take Your Pick" exhibition selection - UM Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, September 20 \nTime & Location:  2:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art \nUMMA invites Museum Studies Program students to an exclusive meet and greet with collector Peter Cohen\, whose photographs are the subject of UMMA’s upcoming interactive exhibition Take Your Pick.  Take Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. \n  \nWhat belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. \n  \nJoin us for an exclusive sneak preview with Peter Cohen and Assistant Curator of Photography Jennifer Friess for a discussion about this unique crowdsourcing experiment on Friday\, September 20\, 2-3 p.m. at UMMA. \n  \nAttendees will have the opportunity to cast votes and participate in the interactive components of the exhibition which opens to the public the following day. \n  \nSpace is limited so we ask that students RSVP no later than September 16 to secure their spot to briannon@umich.edu. \n  \nUMMA Take Your Pick Poster

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
