SUMMARY:Concurrent Exhibitions in the Emile H. Mathis Art Gallery (3/14-5/17)
DESCRIPTION:The One-Off Print: Monotypes from the UWM Art Collection \nThe monotype is a hybrid printmaking process in which ink is transferred from a flat matrix or printing plate onto a sheet of paper. In other words\, the monotype is a print form without a permanent matrix: it can only be printed once. The One-Off Print\, curated by Art History MA student Emma Erickson\, features monotypes from the UWM Art Collection produced by postwar American artists\, a time when experimental printmaking was on the rise. The exhibition highlights the versatility of the monotype\, a medium that bridges the disciplines of painting\, drawing\, and printmaking. \nWhat Is A Print? \nPrints – images made through a process of transferring ink from one surface to another – have for two millennia been rich sources of expressive exploration and crucial to the global circulation of images. Until the late-twentieth century\, most people experienced visual art primarily through prints. What Is A Print? surveys some of the major print processes represented in the UWM Art Collection\, including seminal printmakers like Albrecht Dürer\, Rembrandt van Rijn\, Francisco Goya\, and Pablo Picasso. By illuminating some of the complex technical details of printmaking\, the exhibition will enable viewers to consider the creative\, technical\, financial\, and social contexts the have shaped its history. \nExhibition run March 16 through May 14\, 2026 \nEmile H. Mathis Art Gallery Location and Hours: \nMitchell Hall 170\n3203 N. Downer Ave.\nMilwaukee\, WI 53211 \nMuseum Hours: Mon – Thurs: 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM\nTo make an appointment to visit the gallery\, please contact the gallery at: mathisartgallery@uwm.edu.

SUMMARY:Book Talkback – Muslims in Milwaukee: Placemaking\, Belonging\, and Activism
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for 21st Century Studies and the Muslim Milwaukee Project for the launch of a new book on the Muslim communities in Milwaukee by UWM professors Anna Mansson McGinty\, Caroline Seymour-Jorn\, and Kristin Sziarto. There will be a panel talkback featuring prominent members of Milwaukee’s Muslim community—Waheed Ahmed\, Othman Atta\, Amal Azzam\, Janan Najeeb\, and Brother Will Perry—moderated by Fahed Masalkhi\, PhD. \n— \nAbout Muslims in Milwaukee: Placemaking\, Belonging\, and Activism\nMuslims in Milwaukee explores the everyday lives\, identities\, and activism of Muslims in a midsized Midwestern city. Milwaukee is one of America’s most segregated cities\, yet within its boundaries\, a vibrant Muslim community is reshaping narratives and embodied practices of belonging\, civic engagement\, and urban placemaking. While considerable scholarship on Muslim Americans has concentrated on larger metropolitan centers like New York\, Los Angeles\, and Chicago\, or on Detroit’s historic Arab neighborhoods\, this book turns our attention to an understudied city where Muslim communities are small but rapidly growing\, and where their experiences unfold within distinct local landscapes of race\, segregation\, and opportunity. \nDrawing on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork\, surveys\, and extensive interviews with community members\, students\, artists\, activists\, and leaders\, the authors examine how local political\, economic\, and historical structures shape Muslim American experiences and civic participation\, situating their analysis within the dual dynamics of belonging on one hand and exclusion and discrimination on the other. \n— \nAbout the Islamic Resource Center & Muslim Women’s Coalition\nThe Islamic Resource Center\, a project of Muslim Women’s Coalition\, is Wisconsin’s only Islamic cultural center and lending library. \nThe Muslim Women’s Coalition (MWC) is dedicated to building an equitable and inclusive Wisconsin\, where diversity is celebrated and all individuals are valued. Their mission is to empower Muslim women and girls through education\, leadership\, outreach\, and wellness programs\, helping them reach their fullest potential while creating a positive impact on the broader community. \nFounded in 1994\, MWC began as a local resource organization with the goal of promoting a more accurate understanding of Islam and Muslim women. Over the years\, MWC has remained committed to leading positive community change through advocacy\, dialogue\, education\, and outreach\, using faith-based values to ensure dignity and equity for all.
