SUMMARY:Know Thyself: The Importance of Vision in Museum Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Neil Barclay\, President and CEO\, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History \nFebruary 20\, at 5:30 pm\, UM Museum of Art \nAs museums grapple with the complexity of a social\, political and economic change in the communities they serve\, visionary leadership of these institutions becomes critically important.  While there are many approaches to how such leadership is defined and achieved\, in its most fundamental terms\, it begins with a keen understanding of why an individual has chosen the museum field as their life’s work in the first place. In this talk\, Barclay explores the relationship between personal vision and institutional vision and how the two define the most successful leaders working today. \nIn January of 2019 Neil Barclay was selected to lead the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History as its president and CEO. Prior to that\, he served as President and CEO of the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) in New Orleans for five years.  Barclay also served for seven years as associate director of the Performing Arts Center for the University of Texas at Austin and is the founding president and CEO of Pittsburgh’s August Wilson Center. Additionally\, he was instrumental in the historic capital renovation planning for Los Angeles’ Vision Theater\, originally built by Howard Hughes and currently in the final stages of development for the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs. \nPresentation flyer \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of Art

SUMMARY:Competing Interests: Examining Identity Politics in the Display of Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Competing Interests: Examining Identity Politics in the Display of Ancient Egypt \nHeidi Hilliker\, PhD student in Middle Eastern Studies \nNovember 30 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm \nEldersveld Room\, 5670 Haven Hall \nIn recent years\, there has been a movement to decolonize Western museums\, calling for a practice of self-reflection and transparency paired with a recognition of their Western-centric and criminal foundations. This has led institutions with collections of ancient Egyptian art and artifacts to revisit the ways in which they classify\, interpret\, and display their collections. These shifts in museum practice have revealed many competing interests\, exposing the complex ways in which inclusion\, identity\, and ownership are deeply intertwined. I witnessed these competing interests first-hand this summer during my MSP internship when a new exhibition highlighting the influence of ancient Egypt and Nubia in contemporary black music debuted at the Dutch National Museum of Antiquity in Leiden\, the Netherlands. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss this and other curatorial and institutional case studies that reflect current trends and the complicated discourses developing from them. Additionally\, I will consider the future of these movements and how they may affect museum practices. \nFlyer

SUMMARY:From the Ballroom to the Museum: Celebrating Black Resistance in the Graystone Collection
DESCRIPTION:Location: The Jam Handy (2900 E Grand Blvd\, Detroit\, MI 48202) \nDate/time: November 9th from 5pm to 9pm \nFor nearly fifty years\, the Graystone Ballroom was the beating heart of Detroit’s vibrant music scene. In 1974\, the Graystone International Jazz Museum opened its doors – its collection including records\, posters\, and materials from the former Graystone Ballroom. Though the Graystone Ballroom and Museum are both closed today\, the collection – stewarded by DSC – remains a testament to the power of Detroit sound. \nPlease join Detroit Sound Conservancy at the historic Jam Handy for an evening of celebration and reflection on the legacy of the Graystone Collection. Renowned musician and composer Ali Jackson will give a lecture on Black sonic resistance in the Graystone Collection. After some light refreshments\, Jackson and his band will perform a curated rearrangement of tunes celebrating the Graystone legacy. \nThis program was facilitated by Ekaterina Olson-Shipyatsky (MSP23) for the Arts & Resistance Theme Semester. \nEvent flyer

SUMMARY:Global Interns: museum practice in Israel & Uganda
DESCRIPTION:Global Interns: museum practice in Israel & Uganda \nSeptember 29 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm \nEldersveld Room\, 5670 Haven Hall \n  \nAlexandra Norwood\,  PhD candidate\, Anthropology \nThe Apes of Uganda: An Exhibit and Outreach Program at the Uganda Museum \nUganda is often called the Pearl of Africa\, a phrase invoked by Winston Churchill describing the country: “for magnificence\, for variety of form and color\, for profusion of brilliant life – bird\, insect\, reptile\, beast” (W. S. Churchill\, 1909). Uganda’s remarkable biodiversity includes the presence of two species of living apes and a rich hominoid fossil record. Uganda’s importance to the evolution and conservation of great apes makes it essential to promote awareness and generate interest in protecting both fossil sites and the living apes. \nThe “Apes of Uganda” Exhibition and Outreach Project is the result of a collaboration between staff at the Uganda National Museum and biological anthropologists at the University of Michigan. The goal of this project was to share information about ape evolution in Uganda\, the lives of chimpanzees and gorillas in Uganda’s National Park\, and the importance of conserving both fossil sites and the National Parks where living apes are found. The exhibition at the Uganda National Museum opened in February 2023 and has been visited by ~ 100\,000 visitors. A complementary schools outreach program carried out in July reached 18 Ugandan public primary and secondary schools in western Uganda\, near National Parks where great apes live. The measured impact of these efforts teaches us valuable lessons about how to make this type of educational programming as effective as possible and demonstrates the importance of meaningful\, outward-facing partnerships between researchers and museums. \nDenisa Glacova\,  PhD student\, Middle East Studies \nIs ANU – Museum of the Jewish People Telling the Whole Story? \nWhen asked about the ten-year-long renovation of ANU – Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv\, Dan Tadmor\, the museum’s CEO explained that the conceptual\, technological\, artistic\, and architectural overhaul was necessary to turn the institution into “the most comprehensive Jewish museum in the world.” Even its name was changed then – the former Beit Hatfutsot\, or the Diaspora Museum\, became ANU\, i.e. we in Hebrew\, reflecting its ambitious attempt to represent “all parts of the Jewish people.” Or\, as Tadmor puts it\, to “tell the whole story.” \nIn my short talk\, I will reflect on my three-month internship at The Koret International School for Jewish Peoplehood in ANU. I will focus on ANU’s “vision of radical [Jewish] togetherness” and address its methodology and tools used to create an overarching exhibition narrative connecting Jewish histories and cultures throughout more than 4\,000 years. Additionally\, I will present a few possibilities to include stories pushed to the margins in the new three-store exhibition and to diversify the narrative of the current exhibition through educational programming in order to get closer to the – in my opinion – unattainable ideal of “telling the whole story.” \nMuseums@Noon flyer

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:Exploring the past and shaping the future in archives and collections (Museums@Noon)
DESCRIPTION:Kimberly Ransom\, PhD\, MSP18\, Illinois Distinguished Postdoctoral Research Fellow University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign College of Education \nChicago’s Rebuild Foundation’s Stony Island Arts Bank \nWhile interning at Rebuild Foundation’s Stony Island Arts Bank (SAB) in Chicago\, Kimberly Ransom has reviewed the objects and documents in the Ed Williams Black Memorabilia Collection to help Rebuild Artist-Fellows learn how to engage and use the archive as data to inspire and create new art. As an interdisciplinary historian\, Kimberly has also leveraged the collection to further her research and public-facing scholarship. Specifically\, she has examined a collection of early 20 th century postcards with malicious depictions of Black children. Kimberly aims to use the collection to create a counter-narrative of historical photographs that benevolently depict Black children in and around schools on Chicago’s Southside\, visually positioning them as possessors of childhood in the public imagination. In her presentation\, Kimberly will discuss her experience and how community museums and archives can expand historical scholarship toward community art and action. \n  \nPelle Tracey\, MSP21\, PhD candidate at the UM School of Information \nThe Philadelphia Institute of Contemporary Art \nIn the summer of 2022\, Pelle Tracey interned at the Philadelphia Institute of Contemporary Art under the supervision of Assistant Curator Alex Klein. In this presentation\, Pelle will describe two of the main projects he pursued: archiving a recent long-term collaboration between the ICA and the Dakar\, Senegal-based art institution RAW Material Company\, and conducting oral history interviews with Los Angeles artist Carl Cheng. Through these projects Pelle learned a great deal about how a contemporary art museum functions\, and how a museum focused on the future of art engages with the past. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99128919196 \nMeeting ID: 991 2891 9196 \n  \nApril 7 Museums@Noon flyer

SUMMARY:The Seduction\, Refusal\, and Retention of Universality in Collections Care
DESCRIPTION:Rackham Graduate School Assembly Hall (4th floor)\nPlease join the Museum Studies Program for its 20th anniversary keynote address by Cara Krmpotich\, Director of Museum Studies at the University of Toronto. \nUniversality as an intellectual and ethical imperative has substantially shaped museum work\, including the management and care of collections. Critiques of the universal—including universal museums—contribute to current and necessary conversations encouraging the decolonization of cultural institutions. At the same time\, the ethical impetus of universal design offers a new set of values with which to imagine the universal in museums. In this talk\, I consider moves from universalism to relativism\, and from singularity to plurality. In seeking to understand why universalism\, its refusal\, and its retention within museum spaces matters\, I propose that museums’ evolving interpretations of universality directly shape how they care—for their collections\, their publics\, and their environments. \nCara Krmpotich is Associate Professor and Director of the Museum Studies Program at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information. She is Past-President of the Council for Museum Anthropology\, an Ontario Museums Association Councillor\, and Co-Director of the Great Lakes Research Alliance (GRASAC)\, an Indigenous-Settler network committed to reuniting Great Lakes cultural belongings with Great Lakes places\, knowledge systems and peoples. \nPlease join us online via Zoom if you are unable to attend in person:   https://umich.zoom.us/j/92878966443 \nKrmpotich flyer

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.
