SUMMARY:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. Beyond Borders: Global Africa reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. 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. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series. \nLead support for Beyond Borders: Global Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, and the Museum Studies Program.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.  \nExhibit runs August 11 – November 25 at the UM Museum of Art \nThe full schedule can be found here. \n

SUMMARY:Using Racist Memorabilia to Teach Tolerance and Promote Social Justice: the Case of the Jim Crow Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Jim Crow Museum is the nation’s largest publicly accessible collection of racist artifacts. Located on the campus of Ferris State University in Big Rapids\, Michigan\, the museum houses more than 12\,000 objects—primarily\, but not exclusively\, segregation era artifacts and everyday anti-black caricatured objects. The museum’s innovative mission—which doubles as its tagline—is “using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance.”  As such\, the Jim Crow Museum serves as a compelling model for all museums to consider. \nProf. David Pilgrim\, founder and current director of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia also serves as Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion at Ferris State University. \nPlease note that some may be offended by the images in the presentation. \n  \nOctober 23\, 2018 at 6:30 p.m.\, Stern Auditorium\, University of Michigan Museum of Art \n  \nPresented by the University of Michigan Museum Studies Program with the support of the Office of the Vice President for Student Life\, the School of Information\, the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, and the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion. \n  \nPilgrim lecture announcement_Final \n  \nDr. David Pilgrim\, Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion at Ferris State University\, is one of this country’s leading experts on issues relating to multiculturalism\, diversity\, and race relations. He has been interviewed by National Public Radio\, Time magazine\, the British Broadcasting Corporation\, and dozens of newspapers\, including the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Boston Globe\, Chicago Tribune\, and the Los Angeles Times. Dr. Pilgrim is best known as the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum — a 11\,000 piece collection of racist artifacts located at Ferris State University\, in Big Rapids\, Michigan. The museum\, innovatively\, uses objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. Dr. Pilgrim’s writings\, many found at www.ferris.edu/jimcrow\, are used by scholars\, students\, and civil rights workers to better understand historical and contemporary expressions of racism. \nDr. Pilgrim is an applied sociologist with a doctorate from The Ohio State University. He believes that racism can be objectively studied and creatively assailed. In 2004\, he produced with Clayton Rye the documentary Jim Crow’s Museum to explain his approach to battling racism. The film won several awards including Best Documentary at the 2004 Flint Film Festival.  Dr. Pilgrim’s writings\, scholarly and creative\, deal with multiculturalism and race relations. His short stories have been published in Calaloo\, Obsidian\, African American Review\, Aim\, and Shooting Star. He is the author of Understanding Jim Crow: Using Objects of Intolerance to Teach Tolerance (PM Press\, 2015)\, used as a text in teaching undergraduates in the Museum Studies Minor at the University of Michigan. \nDr. Pilgrim challenges audiences to think deeply about diversity and race relations. He is a Ferris State University Distinguished Teacher. Dr. Pilgrim has spent his adult life using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. It works. His goal is to get people talking about diversity and race relations in meaningful ways — and\, then\, to go and do something positive. \n
