SUMMARY:Kelsey Museum Flash Talk - In Search of Hamzeh Carr
DESCRIPTION:In 1925\, the University of Michigan’s archaeological expedition to Egypt commissioned artist Hamzeh Carr to make facsimiles of the colorful murals they were discovering\, and these images have been widely reproduced ever since. But who was Hamzeh Carr? In preparation for a future exhibition and publication of the Kelsey Museum’s Hamzeh Carr paintings\, curator Terry Wilfong has been tracing the amazing career of this mysterious artist and will share some of his surprising findings. \nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, and graduate students talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month. \nJoin us via Zoom at:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94557516348\nMeeting ID: 945 5751 6348\nPasscode: Kelsey \nCo-sponsored by the Museum Studies Program \n

SUMMARY:L’Internationale and the Democracy Pavilion for Europe
DESCRIPTION:L’Internationale’s Democracy Pavilion for Europe aims to reenergize democracy as a desire and practice. It takes the arts’ potential as a starting point for imagining new epistemologies and ethics of living together within the limits of the planet. The pavilion responds to the current political moment and the fact that the idea of democracy that undergirded the post-1945 European order is in peril. Fostering open\, creative debate\, the pavilion serves as a source of inspiration to reframe art and museums as spaces for experimentation and analysis that critically engage current developments in Europe. The Democracy Pavilion is the response of L’Internationale to the European Cultural Foundation’s call to promote critical thinking and radical imagination. The panelists represent institutions affiliated with L’Internationale\, a confederation of seven European art museums from Belgium\, Spain\, the Netherlands\, Turkey\, Sweden\, Slovenia\, and Ireland. Taking the Democracy Pavilion as their core idea\, the presentations together explore new relations between arts\, heritage\, and emancipatory politics. \nPanelists: \n\nZdenka Badovinac – Director\, Museum of Contemporary Art\, Zagreb\, Croatia\nFerran Barenblit – Visiting Professor\, University of Michigan and Board Member\, L’Internationale Association\nCharles Esche – Director\, Van Abbemuseum\, Eindhoven\, Netherlands\n\nCo-sponsored by the Center for European Studies \nRegister for webinar here. \nFlyer_Internationale Pavilion

SUMMARY:Museums and their Communities: Curatorial Practices in Germany and the US
DESCRIPTION:Museums and their Communities: Curatorial Practices in Germany and the US \nPanelists: \nAngela Jannelli\, Historical Museum of Frankfurt \nAdam Levine\, Toledo Museum of Art \nSamir Meghelli\, Smithsonian Institution\, Anacostia Community Museum \nHow do museums engage with local communities? This panel offers first-hand experience with different models of museum-based community practice. With its exhibit “Frankfurt Jetzt” (Frankfurt Now) & Stadtlabor (City Laboratory)\, Frankfurt’s historical museum has turned to the city’s residents as experts and invited them to participate in curatorial teams. The Anacostia Community Museum in Washington\, D.C. takes community to heart and works to amplify “collective power for a more equitable future.” The Toledo Art Museum probes a form of community engagement that aims to foster “a sense of belonging for all its audience.” This international panel of distinguished museum curators and directors illuminates how specific forms of engagement work to strengthen museum-community bonds across racial\, economic\, and other social boundaries. What kind of challenges and opportunities are implied in these museum practices and how can municipalities help to sustain them?  Join us for an exploration of museum opportunities and challenges. \nPlease register in advance for this webinar via Zoom. \n \n

SUMMARY:At the Intersection of Time and Culture: Reflections on Researching Ancient Sculpture in the Present-day Louvre
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon presentation! \nAt the Intersection of Time and Culture: Reflections on Researching Ancient Sculpture in the Present-day Louvre \nPresenter:  Zoe Ortiz (PhD candidate\, Classical Art & Archaeology) \nDate:  Friday\, October 29 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nFormat:  Online via Zoom (registration required) \n  \nThe Louvre Museum is perhaps the most well-known museum in the entire world. To walk its halls and view its art is more than visiting a museum\, it’s experiencing history itself. The museum came into existence as a fortress in the 12th century but was transformed into a private gallery for the royal collection in the 17th century\, and then finally a public museum during the French Revolution. The collection was greatly expanded under Napoleon\, and it was at this time that the Gabii sculptural assemblage entered the Louvre and became the cornerstone of the Roman sculpture collection. \nIn this talk\, I discuss the ancient site of Gabii\, the sculptures that once stood there\, and their journey at the Louvre. I explore the relationship between present perceptions and ancient praxis\, as well as the transformation of our knowledge and approach to ancient art that is still occurring today. By sharing my reflections during my time at the Louvre\, I hope to invite others to consider how we all play a part in this transformation by viewing ancient art in the present\, setting the stage for future change. \nBrownBag_Ortiz

SUMMARY:MSP Student Engagement Board kick-off meeting
DESCRIPTION:As we navigate the start of this new academic year\, we are excited to share an important new initiative here at the Museum Studies Program. We are launching an MSP student engagement board (name TBD!)! Run by students and for students\, we imagine the group organizing social activities\, sponsoring workshops and visiting speakers\, and promoting field trips to our campus and regional museums. Our hope is also that this initiative will create the possibility of forging closer bonds and exchanges across MSP graduate student cohorts. \nOther potential roles for the group might include naming a student to serve on the MSP Steering Committee and active participation in the planning and implementing of “The MSP @ 20” – our program’s 20th anniversary which we will be celebrating in 2022. And this is just the beginning! We anticipate that the advisory body will develop a life and energy of its own that will inform and enrich our existing MSP endeavors. Designated funds will be made available to support the work of the student committee and we would also love to see a student-led blog spring to life on our MSP web page. \n\nPlease consider how you can help us shape this new effort and make it into a special part of the MSP! \nJoin us for an initial conversation via Zoom on Friday\, Oct 8 at 3 pm. \nJoin Zoom Meeting: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99373716602 \nMeeting ID: 993 7371 6602 \nPasscode: 247085

SUMMARY:Nji Kchi-Nshinaabe’baniik Gdish-Chigemi Wi (We Do This for the Ancestors):  The Basics of NAGPRA
DESCRIPTION:When:  Friday\, April 16th at 1:00pm\nWho:  Panelists:\n\nWilliam Johnson – Ziibiwing Center of AnishinaabeCulture & Lifeways\, Interim Director\nVeronica Pasfield – Bay Mills Indian Community NAGPRA Designee\nAmadeaus Scott – UMMAA NAGPRA Collections Manager\n\n\nWhere:  Register/Webinar link can be found at: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_agbr9WzoQaGnCxSfAc_YQQ\n\n  \nThe Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (NAGPRA) created a federal legal process for the return of Native American human remains and cultural items to Native American Tribes and Native Hawaiian Organizations.  However\, the work that museums and tribes complete together can also be used as an opportunity to create good and lasting relationships that extend beyond NAGPRA. \n  \nHow can museum best practices and traditional tribal knowledge work together in mutually beneficial ways?  How can transparency and mutual respect forge productive relationships between tribes and museums?  How can future collaborations emerge as a result of the personal and professional relationships that are developed? \n  \nThe panelists will provide a basic overview of NAGPRA compliance through a consideration of both the tribal and museum sides of the process.  They will also draw from practical experience to show how indigenous knowledge and teachings can help inform and improve professional methods of care and an understanding of the best practices of museums. \n  \nSponsors: \n\nUM College of Literature\, Sciences\, and the Arts\nUM Office of Government Relations\nUM Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\nUM Office of Research\nUM Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\nUM Museum Studies Program\nUM Department of American Culture\nUM Native American Studies Program\nNative American and Indigenous Studies Interdisciplinary Group\n\nOnline Poster – NAGPRA Basics Talk (4-16-2021)

SUMMARY:Reforming Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 13th 2021 at 1:00pm EST.  \nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99936418245 \nDutch artist Hans van Houwelingen will reflect on his ongoing research on commemorative monuments. Apart from the hardware of monuments\, he explores how to reform the practice of commemoration itself. Van Houwelingen and the Indonesian artist Iswanto Hartono (Ruangrupa) are currently collaborating on a research project to investigate both the presence and the absence of monuments in colonial locations. Among his case studies are monuments in Indonesia removed after 1945 Independence. The Van Heutsz monument in Jakarta\, designed by the Dutch architect Willem Marinus Dudok\, was destroyed just after the Independence of Indonesia. Meanwhile\, the Van Heutsz monument in Amsterdam exists today as the Indie Nederland Monument. These and other monuments enter into the discussion of commemoration and its erasure. \nHans van Houwelingen (1957) lives and works in Amsterdam. He was educated at the Minerva Art Academy in Groningen and at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. His work is internationally manifested in the form of interventions in public space\, exhibitions\, lectures and publications\, in which he investigates the relations between art\, politics and ideology. He publishes regularly in newspapers and magazines. The monograph STIFF Hans van Houwelingen vs. Public Art (Artimo\, 2004) offers an overview of his projects and texts and an extensive reflection on his work. The publication Update describes the permanent update of the Lorentzmonument in Arnhem (NL) during the exhibition Sonsbeek 2008. Undone (Jap Sam Books\, 2011)\, compiled and edited by curator Mihnea Mircan\, presents nine critical reflections on three recent works. \nOrganized by the Committee on Equity\, Department of History of Art and co-sponsored by the Museum Studies Program. Kristin Hass (Associate Professor of American Culture and Faculty Coordinator of the Humanities Collaboratory) to moderate. \nAdditional information can be found here.

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 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? 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 17\, 4:00 – 5:30 pm   (Click here to register via Zoom)   \nIndigenous Epistemologies: Restorative Justice in Settler-Colonial Collections \nModerator: Veronica Pasfield\, Public Historian\, Tribal Cultural Resources Consultant\, Journalist\, and Curator \nPanelists: \n\nCinnamon Catlin-Legutko\, Director\, Illinois State Museum\nDavid Michener\, Curator\, Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum\nVeronica Williamson\, PhD candidate\, German Languages and Literatures & Museum Studies Certificate Student\n\nThis first panel considers collections relating to Native American past\, present and future. 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: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
