Driven to Win: Racing in America | Presented by General Motors
From soap box derbies to Indy car, stock car and drag racing, Driven to Win: Racing in America Presented by General Motors guides visitors through the worlds of those who invented their way into the winner's circle and often changed the world in the process. In this new permanent exhibition, you'll be transported to the winner's circle through interactive displays that include historic race cars, a multisensory theater, a pit crew challenge, racing simulators and more. You'll follow the twists and turns of American racing history, and you'll see how passionate people like A.J. Foyt, Lyn St. James, Dan Gurney and Bobby Unser engineered world-changing innovations. Dynamic racing personalities are also showcased, ranging from Barney Oldfield, driver of Henry Ford's "999" in the early 1900s, to modern-day gymkhana sensation Ken Block. Regardless of what your interest might be, the progression from competitive passion and innovation to winning is the same. The sport of auto racing is especially good at bringing this sequence to vibrant life, as illustrated throughout this new permanent exhibit that will immerse your senses in the images, lighting, speed and sounds of auto racing. You will immediately feel its emotion and high energy.

Curriculum / Collection 2022
In "Curriculum / Collection," an incredible variety of University of Michigan courses take material form. Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality, time, and human interaction in relation to our environments, our wars, our relationships, and our eccentricities. Working in collaboration with University faculty, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter. As classes begin in Fall of 2021, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course, dive into the works themselves, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way, too. Plan your visit: https://umma.umich.edu/plan-your-visit

Wish You Were Here | African Art and Restitution
This exhibition proactively engages with debates about restitution and the ethics of museums’ owning African heirlooms collected during the era of colonization. The investigation and research into 11 works of African art will be conducted publicly — visitors will have access to documents, photographs, and correspondence that will help UMMA develop a better understanding of each object’s history, grappling in real time with questions surrounding legal and ethical ownership of these artworks. Though complex, this project presents exciting opportunities for museum transparency and creating new pathways for relationship-building with partners in Africa and its diaspora. Museum visitors can begin to explore this investigation online and in-person in Fall 2021. Plan your visit: https://umma.umich.edu/plan-your-visit

You Are Here
Welcome back to the museum. We've missed you. On March 16, 2020, we closed our doors, just six days after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. We didn’t know for how long. At that point there were twelve confirmed COVID-19 cases in Washtenaw County. We weren’t wearing masks because we didn’t fully understand how the virus is transmitted. We reopened to the public 488 days later, on June 17, 2021. While it is exciting to be together again and to see the world slowly reopen, we are also deeply impacted by what we’ve been through. This exhibition holds both of those feelings. The works of art in this show were selected because you really need to experience them in person, to be immersed in their textures, patterns, colors, and ideas. The exhibition is designed to remind visitors to be present where they are: to look and feel and be at UMMA, in person at the museum. It also reminds visitors where they aren’t: at home, isolated, connecting with each other virtually. The centerpiece of the exhibition—Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of Keshawn Warren standing in front of a vibrant floral background—exemplifies the idea of being present in oneself. Elsewhere you’ll find experiences for all of your senses. Come visit and play the Harry Bertoia sound sculpture to announce your presence in the gallery. After all, you are here. Jennifer M.

FUN (working title)
Unlike any art museum exhibition you’ve seen, "FUN (working title)" will transform before your very eyes as it becomes what you — our community, our students, and our visitors — make of it. Over the course of this exhibition, UMMA’s glass-walled Stenn gallery will become a creation space. Piles of materials and supplies will form the backdrop of a collaborative, summer-long free artists’ workshop. A place to create, experiment, glue, paint, and get messy. You’re invited to roll up your sleeves and work have fun alongside local artist Mark Tucker and his U-M students to help create this colorful, kinetic, and altogether FUN art installation. Inspired by objects in UMMA’s collection, you’ll create giant movable and interactive sculptures (AKA puppets) that will take on a life of their own. Along the way, you may uncover how art is made, how a museum works, and maybe even discover something about yourself.

Visions of Our 44th President is a collective sculptural show created to recognize and celebrate the historical significance of the first African American President of the United States, Barack Obama. This exhibition presents 44 busts of Barack Hussein Obama, the 44^th President of the United States. Forty-five contemporary artists used a range of materials and processes to depict their visions of the United States’ first African American president. This exhibition serves as a study of his portrait and a platform to revisit his political ideology as well as his hopes for America. Dynamic and inspiring, the exhibition includes forty-four artists’ interpretations of our 44th President in life-size, three-dimensional form. In essence, each sculpture is a blank canvas upon which artists imaginatively celebrate the man, his presidency, and our history.

OUT!: LGBTQ+ Visibility and Identity
A new temporary exhibit, OUT!: LGBTQ+ Visibility and Identity, is now on view until August 15, 2022, in Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. The exhibit, co-curated by Kristen Gallerneaux and Katherine White, contains recent acquisitions that relate to the history and lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people. The content of the exhibition is replicated in this post (with slightly expanded descriptions) for those unable to see it in person. The first theme explored in this exhibit focuses on how LGBTQ+ communities have used a variety of communication networks—from print media to Internet platforms—to advocate and educate, to resist discrimination, and to unapologetically celebrate identity. The second major theme gathers collections that relate to queer-positive and diverse forms of gender expression. These artifacts include stories of gay pride and trans visibility through acceptance, body positivity, and pronoun advocacy. These artifacts do not sit still. The stories and lives represented here are evidence of turning points and triumphs—and ongoing battles—of the LGBTQ+ community individually, communally, and societally.

The Sound of Music presented by Grosse Pointe Theatre
Grosse Pointe Theatre will present the beloved musical The Sound of Music, with eight performances June 24 through July 3. Performances will be held at Parcells Middle School Auditorium, in Grosse Pointe Woods. Ticket information and show times are available at https://www.gpt.org/music or by calling 313-881-4004. Personal hygiene items will be collected at performances to support refugee resettlement. With music by Richard Rogers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, The Sound of Music, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, tells the story of a young postulant, Maria, who is assigned by her superior, Mother Abbess, to serve as a governess for Captain Georg von Trapp’s seven children. The setting is Austria, shortly before the takeover of Nazi Germany in 1938. The original Broadway production opened in 1959, followed by The Sound of Music movie in 1965, both winning numerous awards The story continues to inspire and capture the hearts of audiences worldwide. The Sound of Music was the last production Rogers and Hammerstein collaborated on, resulting in many familiar and beautiful songs including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” “Edelweiss,” and “The Sound of Music,” just to name a few. “Grosse Pointe Theatre is thrilled to bring this heartwarming production to audiences,” said Tim Higgins, director and choreographer of The Sound of Music. “This is a story about family, relationships, love, home, survival, and faith that ultimately guide the decisions the von Trapp family make that will impact their lives forever.” Higgins added, “Our talented cast and crew will bring this beautiful story to life. We hope this production will inspire and entertain audiences, but also raise awareness of history and an understanding of how actions can shape the course for future generations.” As the cast and crew prepare to present this beautiful production of The Sound of Music to audiences, a similar real-life crisis is underway in Ukraine, abruptly and horrifically causing millions of families to flee their homes in search of a safe place to live. With so many parallels to The Sound of Music, Grosse Pointe Theatre is partnering with Samaritas’ New Americans refugee resettlement program to collect personal hygiene items for refugee families from Ukraine and other countries who resettle in southeast Michigan. Grosse Pointe Theatre will be collecting the personal hygiene items in the auditorium lobby before each performance. Grosse Pointe Theatre’s production of The Sound of Music is made possible through the generous support of the John A. and Marlene L. Boll Foundation.

D[x]n Pasquale // A New LGBTQ Opera @ Opera MODO
A young, nonbinary artist, their intolerant, miserly aunt, and two trusted confidantes with a plan to change it all. When Dawn Pasquale tries to disenfranchise her one remaining family member, Ernesto, on the basis of prejudice, Norina and Malatesta resort to hilariously extreme measures of drag, distractions, and deception to try to open Pasquale's mind and heart. Opera MODO's D[x]n Pasquale uproots traditional operatic standards of gender and relationships with the familiar devices of disguise and deceit to celebrate the beautiful athleticism of bel canto singing and tell a new, queer-ified story of love and acceptance. Join Opera MODO for the WORLD PREMIERE of this new English adaptation of Donizetti’s classic opera at the Motown Mansion in the historic Boston-Edison neighborhood.

2022 Concert of Colors
The Concert of Colors is metro Detroit’s free annual diversity-themed music festival. Global music at its finest at this colorful, festive, upbeat coveted summer event. Housed in Culture Source a coalition of 152 arts organizations in Southeast Michigan, the Concert of Colors has become the Midwest’s biggest diversity and arts festival.

It is produced by the Concert of Colors with partners Culture Source, The Detroit Institute of Arts, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, ACCESS, University of Michigan – Detroit Center, Michigan Science Center, Detroit Historical Museum, College For Creative Studies, Hellenic Museum of Michigan, Third Man Records, Lowriders of Detroit, Science Gallery Detroit, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Midtown Inc., University of Michigan Dearborn, Arab American National Museum, WDET, The Scarab Club, International Institute of Metro Detroit and Marx Layne & Company.

The goal of the upbeat, week-long festival is to unite metro Detroit’s diverse communities and ethnic groups through music and dance from around the world – and creating dialogue where participants embrace freedom of expression.

Over its rich 28-year history, the festival has blossomed into a celebrated, beloved highlight of metro Detroit’s summer festival season- one of the few remaining large scale, free-admission music festivals in the area.

The Concert of Colors was established by Ismael Ahmed – the former head of the human services organization ACCESS – and New Detroit in 1993 as a one-day event at Chene Park on Detroit’s riverfront. The inaugural event drew a modest crowd to Chene Park, but by 1999, some 10,000 music lovers were coming out each year. The festival expanded to three days in 2001, when it was part of the official festivities for Detroit’s 300th birthday, drawing an audience of 100,000. In 2019, the concert expanded to nine days.

Back in 2005, the festival’s opening night performance was relocated to historic Orchestra Hall at the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center in Detroit, the home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO). The DSO became a full partner in 2006 as the entire festival relocated to the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center, with two indoor stages and one outdoor stage. In 2007, the festival grew to encompass four days of free live music. A major new development took place in 2008 when Don Was, über producer and the President of Blue note records, joined the Concert of Colors working group to curate an produce The Don Was All Star Revue that has become the top yearly showcase of Motor City music in the country.

In 2010, the Detroit Institute of Arts joined this remarkable collaborative effort, and as of 2019 is serving as the MainStage for Concert of Colors. In 2011, the number of festival venues expanded to four, with the addition of the Scarab Club and a new presenting partner, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History which also has expanded its role.

In recent years, attendance at the Concert of Colors has been more than 30,000.

World music, including the indigenous music of the Motor City, is the major focus of the Concert of Colors, but not the only focus. The festival also offers ethnic food, merchandise vendors, movies, poetry, children’s activities and much more. In 2014, The Arab American National Museum restored the annual Forum on Community, Culture and Race that began in 2006. The Forum is a conference featuring presentations and discussion among artists, people connected to cultural institutions and community leaders to examine the role of arts and culture in overcoming racial and ethnic barriers.

Hastings Street
"HASTINGS STREET explores the lives of the Carson family as they fight for the city they while navigating being uprooted on a personal and community-wide basis. It’s the summer of 1949 and Detroit is electric with anticipation. Congress had just passed the Housing Act, a law that ushers in a nationwide urban renewal initiative. Black Bottom, Detroit's segregated Black neighborhood, is the local target for redevelopment. This is not what Robert, Sr. and his wife, Beatrice, expected when they moved North to build a life. Now that she’s gone, he’s at a loss as to what to do. It’s the moment when his twins, Bobby and Renita, must balance their dreams for the future against the expectations of others and their responsibilities to one another. All in all, HASTINGS STREET is a celebration of the inextinguishable spirit of Detroit and its people."

Comedian Pete Lee
Pete Lee was the first standup comedian to get a standing ovation on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This happened after Jimmy personally attended one of Pete’s live shows in NYC and immediately invited him on the show. Pete’s joyful humor comes from his Midwestern roots. Raised in Janesville, WI by divorced parents and a 19-inch television, he was destined to pursue a career in entertainment. In 2005, Pete flew to New York to make his television debut on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, and the taping went so well that he decided to move to NYC. Soon after moving to NYC, he was selected to perform at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, where he was voted a standout performer. In 2008 Pete made his network television debut performing on NBC’s Last Comic Standing finishing as a semi-finalist. That same year, he made his television acting debut on the CBS Soap Opera As The World Turns. At the end of 2008, he shot his own Comedy Central Half Hour Special, which earned him a cult following at comedy clubs, and the opportunity to perform over the next ten years at 500 colleges across the country. In 2010 Pete began producing and editing his own shows for the Internet which led to getting his own web show on MSN.com called New York Minute:30. His web shows attracted the attention of television talent scouts and in 2012 he was hired to be a writer and cast member on FUSE TV’s Video on Trial and the NFL Network’s Top 10’s. In 2013, Pete was hired as a cast member on VH1’s Best Week Ever, where he was a writer and cast member for three seasons. That same year, he made his late night television debut on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman. Currently, Pete is a cast member of TruTV’s Greatest Ever and he hosts his own segment on Nickelodeon’s Nick Toons, in co-ordination with the NFL, called NFL Rush. He’s also a regular on TruTV’s Comedy Knockout and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle. And he starred in a documentary titled I Need You to Kill that is now available on iTunes and Amazon. If you haven’t heard of Pete Lee yet, prepare to tell other people.

Playwright Alice Birch has a way of making you question everything you say when it comes to discussing women and their relationships with men, one another, and a world in a state of unending upheaval.
