SUMMARY:Modern Impacts: Celebrating 50 Years of the Rosenberg Collection at UWM
DESCRIPTION:Modern Impacts: Celebrating 50 Years of the Rosenberg Collection at UWM honors the fiftieth anniversary of the foundational bequest of the Blanche and Henry Rosenberg Art Collection to UWM. In 1974\, the UWM Art Collection was much like the young university itself: small\, impressive\, and growing. With this significant gift\, the artwork on campus more than doubled in number and was codified into one collection that highlighted modern art of the twentieth century. \nThis exhibition presents the personal aesthetic interests of the Rosenbergs while also considering collecting trends of the mid-twentieth century. The breadth and depth of the collection is especially significant when evaluating their decision to bequeath their collection to UWM to support teaching and learning. Major modern artists featured include Pablo Picasso\, Georges Braque\, Joan Miró\, Ernst Kirchner\, Jean Arp\, Barbara Hepworth\, Henry Moore\, Jean Dubuffet\, Alexei Jawlensky\, and more. Also presented are works by the donor\, Blanche Rosenberg\, who studied in the fine arts department here at UWM. Organized to showcase major art historical movements represented in the collection\, this show underscores the ways this donation established a strong teaching collection here at UWM and honors the legacy of these impactful donors. \nCurated by academic curator Leigh Mahlik\, exhibition runs through November 14\, 2024. The Emile H. Mathis Art Gallery in Mitchell Hall Rm 170 is open 10-4 Monday-Thursday and is free to the public.

SUMMARY:Creative Writing Program Visiting Writer: Mecca Jamilah Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Mecca Jamilah Sullivan is the visiting writing for Fall 2024. Mecca is an award-winning fiction writer and critic. The craft talk will be at 3 pm and a reading and Q&A will be at 7 pm. \nMecca Jamilah Sullivan’s fiction explores the intellectual\, emotional\, and bodily lives of young black women through voice\, music\, and hip-hop inflected magical realist techniques. She is the author of the short story collection Blue Talk and Love (2015)\, winner of the Judith Markowitz Award for Fiction from Lambda Literary; The Poetics of Difference: Queer Feminist Forms in the African Diaspora (2022)\, winner of the William Sanders Scarborough Prize from the Modern Language Association; and her critically acclaimed debut novel Big Girl (W.W. Norton & Co. 2022)\, which was a New York Times Editors’ Choice and winner of the Next Generation Indie Book Award and the Balcones Fiction Prize. \nAbout Sullivan’s debut novel\, Big Girl\, Kiese Laymon says\, “There are three books on earth that I would give anything to be able to write and reread until the sun burns us up. Big Girl is one of those books. The sound\, the expansiveness of the whispers\, the critical\, brilliant\, sometimes bruising\, beautiful Black girlness explored in this novel is literally second to none. I know I have just read and reread a new American classic that we as a culture and country desperately need. Believe that.” While Rick Moody succinctly observes her writing to feel “nearly Faulknerian.” \nSullivan’s short stories have appeared in Best New Writing\, Kenyon Review\, American Fiction: Best New Stories by Emerging Writers\, Prairie Schooner\, Callaloo\, Crab Orchard Review\, Robert Olen Butler Fiction Prize Stories\, BLOOM: Queer Fiction\, Art\, Poetry and More\, TriQuarterly\, Feminist Studies\, All About Skin: Short Stories by Award-Winning Women Writers of Color\, DC Metro Weekly\, Baobab: South African Journal of New Writing\, and many others. A 2016 Pushcart Prize nominee\, she is the winner of the Charles Johnson Fiction Award\, the Glenna Luschei Fiction Award\, the James Baldwin Memorial Playwriting Award\, and honors from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference\, Lambda Literary\, and the Center for Fiction in New York City\, where she received an inaugural Emerging Writers Fellowship. \nA proud native of Harlem\, NY\, Sullivan’s critical and scholarly work on sexuality\, identity\, and poetics in contemporary African Diaspora culture has appeared in The Cut\, Feminist Studies\, American Quarterly\, College Literature\, The Rumpus\, Ebony.com\, The Feminist Wire\, Black Futures\, and many others. Mecca’s research and scholarship have earned support from the Mellon-Mays Foundation\, the Social Sciences Research Council\, Williams College\, Rutgers University\, Duke University\, the American Academy of University Women\, and the Institute for Citizens and Scholars (formerly the Woodrow Wilson Foundation). \nShe is a Professor of English at Georgetown University and lives in Washington\, DC.
