SUMMARY:Unseen Connections: A Natural History of the Cellphone
DESCRIPTION:Space 2435\, UM North Quad (105 S. State Street) \nPresentation by Josh Bell\, Curator of Globalization at the National Museum of Natural History\, Smithsonian and Museum Studies Program 2024 Visiting Scholar \nWhat is the role of anthropology in a natural history museum in the 21st century? Thinking through the issues bundled up in this question\, within this talk I will discuss a new exhibit Cellphone: Unseen Connections that I curated at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Cellphone examines cellular technology and its cultural\, ecological and social intersections around the world\, and is informed by a decade of interdisciplinary and collaborative research on cellular telephony in Washington D.C.. The exhibit consists of 750 objects\, a comic book mural\, interactive displays and 33 personal profiles of people along the cellphone’s global supply chain from 35 countries. Drawing inspiration from the relational perspectives of Indigenous world-making in Oceania\, as well as the moral and ethical obligations of political ecology\, this exhibit demonstrates how natural history is about\, and for\, everyone. \nDr. Joshua A. Bell is Curator of Globalization at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Combining ethnographic fieldwork with research in museums and archives\, Bell examines the shifting local and global network of relationships between persons\, artefacts and the environment. To date he has carried out research with communities in the Purari Delta of Papua New Guinea\, with historic Oceanic collections\, and on cellular telephony in Washington\, D.C.. He is currently the chair of NMNH’s anthropology department\, and is the steward of NMNH’s Oceania\, African and South American collections as well as the collections of the National Anthropological Archive. He is a founding member of Recovering Voices\, and co-directs the annual Mother Tongue Film Festival. He also directs the Summer Institute in Museum Anthropology\, a summer course funded by the National Science Foundation that teaches graduate students how to effectively and ethically engage with museum and archival collections. \nPresentation flyer \n

SUMMARY:Exhibit tour at UMMA - "A Gathering"
DESCRIPTION:Join MSP for a guided tour of “A Gathering\,” currently on display at UMMA. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future. \nThe tour will be led by the curator of the exhibit\, our own Félix Zamora Gómez (MSP16)\, Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy. \nRegister in advance for the tour (space is limited). \nTour flyer

SUMMARY:The Legacy of Art and the Nazis Before and After the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Please join SHARE for its final evening of the 2024 Conference\, for which we are excited to present University of Michigan History of Art Professor Shelley Perlove. Professor Perlove specializes in Italian and Dutch art of the seventeenth century. Her scholarly interests include art and religious culture in early modern Europe\, the Hebrew Bible\, material culture\, and the visual arts\, and visual typology in sixteenth-century art. \nProfessor Perlove will be speaking on the legacy of art during the Holocaust\, how it was weaponized by the Nazis both metaphorically and literally\, looking at cases of Nazi-looted art and efforts to retrieve them. Time for Q&A and a reception will follow her presentation. \nShelley Perlove is the author of two award-winning books published by Penn State University Press: Bernini and the Idealization of Death\, and more recently with Larry Silver\, Rembrandt’s Faith: Church and Temple in the Dutch Golden Age. She has written more than thirty articles\, essays and reviews appearing in such journals as Burlington Magazine\, Gazette des Beaux Arts\, and Artibus et Historiae and has curated five exhibitions devoted to early modern prints. Most recently she served as consultant to the exhibition\, “Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus\,” which opened at the Louvre. Her current book project investigates the religious works of Rembrandt’s Dutch followers. \nLocation: University of Michigan Hillel (1429 Hill Street) \nRegistration and additional information can be found here.

SUMMARY:The Museum as Kaleidoscope: On Plantations Past and Present in Louisiana
DESCRIPTION:3:00 – 4:15 pm \nEhrlicher Room (3100 North Quad) and online. \nWhat do we see when we look at a museum?

Prior to pursuing a doctoral degree\, Drake obtained a BA in history and an MS in information science with a concentration in archives\, during and after which he worked as an archivist and librarian in multiple institutional and non-institutional contexts\, most meaningfully with A People’s Archive of Police Violence in Cleveland.
