Of Fears & Memory
By Alina Poroshina
On exhibit through July 27, 2013
Artist
Alina Poroshina examines cultural memory in her latest series of work focused on
the Armenian Genocide of 1915. In “Of Fears and Memory,” Poroshina reflects on
how the atrocities committed in 1915 have been encoded into her own Armenian
heritage through figurative paintings that she describes as Expressive Realism. |

STEMinists:
Michigan Women in
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
On exhibit through February 2014
Since the passage of Title IX, women remain disproportionately underrepresented
in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The new exhibit
STEMinists aims to combat barriers remaining to women’s equal participation
in STEM fields by introducing girls to what it means to work in a STEM field,
successful Michigan women role models working in STEM, and steps to pursue their
interest in STEM fields. Increasing the number of women in STEM fields is good
for everyone—it has the potential to help address the wage gap between men and
women and increase the competitiveness of the United States in the global
economy. |

Not Just a Man's War:
Michigan Women and the
Civil War
Currently
on exhibit
In celebration of the Civil War
sesquicentennial come discover what the War meant for the women of the state.
Life in Michigan changed when men left to fight in the Civil War. In addition to
their regular duties, the women who remained at home assumed responsibilities
previously held by men while sending supplies to support soldiers far from home.
Other Michigan women moved to the frontline, serving in hospitals and -- for
some bold women--even on battlefields.
When Lincoln declared "Thank God for Michigan!" upon the arrival
of the first regiment from a western state, he could not have anticipated all of
the sacrifices and changes the women of Michigan would face. |
