SUMMARY:Less than Perfect exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Kelsey Museum of Archaeology \nIn our society\, we are taught to strive for and expect perfection. Yet throughout our lives\, we learn as much or more from our flaws and failures as we do from our successes. Less Than Perfect celebrates failure and the lessons it teaches. Featuring objects that span more than 2000 years and four continents\, this exhibition explores the stories they tell about their makers\, their making\, and their use. \nThe exhibition—with objects from the Kelsey Museum\, the Museum of Art\, and the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology— is organized around three themes. Failed Perfection presents archaeological objects that failed in production to explore how researchers use them to study about ancient technologies. Deliberate Imperfection features beautiful and finely crafted objects whose makers deliberately introduced asymmetries or other imperfections into their products—and considers why artists choose to make imperfect things. Restoring Perfection highlights artifacts that were repaired in antiquity by people who strove to restore usefulness and beauty to broken or damaged objects. \nTogether these themes allow visitors to ponder the tensions between perfection and imperfection in their own lives and to explore how people in diverse cultures have addressed this divide. \nGuest curator:  Carla Sinopoli

SUMMARY:Taking a Look in the Mirror: Transformative Change within Museums
DESCRIPTION:Location:  University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \nMuseums do not exist in a vacuum. The external environment around museums is in a state of constant change. Yet\, it seems as though museums continue to approach diversity and inclusion work through community outreach and programs. It is time for museums to transform. We must look internally at organizational culture and traditional work practices in order to spark transformative change across the field. This talk focuses on concepts and practices to shift work culture to help museums evolve into inclusive institutions. \nChris Taylor blends passion for history\, diversity\, and inclusion work in his job as the Chief Inclusion Officer at the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS). As part of the Executive Leadership Team of the organization\, he is responsible for creating and implementing a strategic vision to create an inclusive work culture and help staff develop inclusive work practices. In addition\, he works to build healthy\, sustainable relationships with the many diverse communities of Minnesota. \nChris Taylor lecture anouncement

SUMMARY:Tactics for the Anthropocene: Not an Alternative
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Michigan Theater (603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor) \nNot An Alternative is a NY-based collective that works at the intersection of art\, activism\, and critical theory. Its mission is to affect popular understandings of histories\, symbols\, and institutions through the occupation and redeployment of popular vernacular\, semiotics\, and memes. Named in The New York Times and ArtNet’s “Best in Art in 2015” round-ups\, the group’s work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally. Their latest project\, The Natural History Museum\, is a mobile and pop-up museum that highlights the socio-political forces that shape nature\, yet are excluded from traditional natural history museums. \nPresenting for the group\, co-founder Beka Economopoulos is the VP at Fission Strategy\, a consultancy specializing in new media communications. She is also a senior trainer and Advisory Board member at the New Organizing Institute. \nSupported by the University of Michigan Museum of Natural Historyand the University of Michigan Museum Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Supporting Youth through Environmental Education: Teaching\, Learning\, and Design at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Efforts to enhance the scientific capacity of youth often target schools and focus on reforming the existing science curriculum. An often overlooked and underestimated venue for science teaching\, learning\, and design are out-of-school settings. Everyday experiences in these settings can support science learning for a wide range of youth and help develop positive associations with science and influence people’s identities as science learners. Learning experiences in these settings have the potential to reflect a view of science as influenced by individual youth experience as well as social and historical contexts. This presentation will explore the challenges and potential for the development of a non-residential nature experience at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. It will cover the theoretical underpinning that guides its design and the tension inherent in institutions that tend to represent or reflect the dominant culture\, which can present a conflict for those from non-dominant groups. \nPresented by Benjamin Tupper – PhD Candiate\, Educational Studies/Science Education \nOctober 21 at 12:00 pm in UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nBrownBag_Tupper
