In the News: "touch" by Ericka Lopez
"It felt unnatural to touch an art exhibit. I gently reached out, and realized how much the texture of the piece added to the experience. The plastic beads and bundles of string contrast each other visually, but they contrast even more in texture."
In the News: Parable of the Now
“I realized — after having been kind of alone the days after the last two elections — that I wanted to build a space for a community and for people to process the election,” Hunter said. -Quinn Alexandria Hunter in a Michigan Daily article.
Land Acknowledgement
The University of Michigan is located on the territory of the Anishinaabe people. In 1817, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadami Nations made the largest single land transfer to the University of Michigan, ceded in the Treaty of Fort Meigs, so that their children could be educated. We acknowledge the history of native displacement that allowed the University of Michigan to be founded. Today we reaffirm contemporary and ancestral Anishinaabek ties to the land and their profound contributions to this institution.
