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
