SUMMARY:Mapping Brasil
DESCRIPTION:In Mapping Brasil\, an exhibit in conjunction with the 2026 Maps & America: the Arthur Holzheimer Lecture Series\, the American Geographical Society Library investigates cartographic traditions and innovations in Brazil. From colonial-era maps to counter-mapping projects in Rio\, explore the ways cartographers have and continue to make sense of the nation on multiple scales. The key to this exhibit is the exploration of who is making these maps and for what purpose. Colonial exploration and exploitation\, economic resources\, and community empowerment are all represented in this snapshot of Brazil’s mapping past\, present\, and future.\n\nMapping Brasil is on view now through Aug. 14 in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the west wing of the Golda Meir Library. The exhibit is free and open to the public.\n\nVisit StoryMaps to view the digital exhibit companion for Mapping Brasil.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Dick Blau
DESCRIPTION:As part of the UWM Union Cinema’s Experimental Tuesdays series\, on April 14 at 7 p.m.\, the UWM Union Cinema will be presenting An Evening with Dick Blau\, presented in conjunction with the UWM Archives. Dick Blau\, a local photographer\, artist\, and filmmaker\, has been making films and video works for over 40 years\, and recently donated his archival collection to the UWM Archives. The evening will highlight his film and video works\, including three 2K restorations remastered from original elements stored at the UWM Archives. The event will also include discussion about his career\, and stories about working in the Milwaukee art community. The event is free and open to the public\, and is sponsored by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres.  \nDick Blau (BA Harvard 1965; PhD Yale 1973) is professor emeritus and founder of the UWM Department of Film\, Video\, Animation\, & New Genres. He is the author of six photo books and numerous films on many different subjects: from interpersonal family dynamics to the music and culture of the Roma of northern Greece. Covering a wide number of subjects and styles\, Blau’s work ranges across the genres — from documentaries to fairytales to studies in pure abstraction. Blau’s films show internationally and his photographs can be found in major collections both here and abroad: in the Art Institute of Chicago\, the Brooklyn Museum\, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Thessaloniki Museum of Contemporary Art\, and locally at the Milwaukee Art Museum and Museum of Wisconsin Art. \nSee the Student Affairs Events and Activities Calendar for more information about An Evening with Dick Blau.

SUMMARY:A Polychromatic Proposition
DESCRIPTION:Owen Jones\, Chromolithography\, and the Decorative Arts in the Nineteenth Century\nShowcasing Special Collections’ collection of design portfolios and decorative-arts books of the late nineteenth century\, this exhibition celebrates chromolithographic printing alongside design propositions from the mid-19th century The Grammar of Ornament by noted British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809-1874). Large portfolios that claim to examine decoration from all cultures and all time periods mingle with ephemera highlighting the ubiquity of chromolithography during its period of dominance in printing. \nCurated by Special Collections Graduate Intern Amanda Haag\, A Polychromatic Proposition: Owen Jones\, Chromolithography\, and the Decorative Arts in the Nineteenth Century is on view through May 20 in the fourth floor exhibition gallery at the Golda Meir Library.

SUMMARY:Special Collections Graduate Intern Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Now through May 21\, patrons can visit the Special Collections reading room to view exhibits curated by UWM Art History graduate students Kate Lytvynenko and Olivia Young\, who spent their spring 2026 fieldwork experience in Special Collections.\n\nLytvynenko’s exhibit showcases her interest in Ukrainian art\, history\, and culture\, and her selections offer a perspective of Ukraine as viewed through the lens of those who would control it\, highlighting the history of that country’s long struggle for sovereignty. Young’s focus is on the Pre-Raphaelites and late 19th-/early 20th-century European art — her exhibit presents turn-of-the-century decorative trade book covers by some of the most noted designers of the time. Both exhibits demonstrate some of the many lines of inquiry that can be followed through the original printed sources preserved in Special Collections.\n\nSpecial Collections is located on the fourth floor of the Golda Meir Library and is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

SUMMARY:Maps & America: The Arthur Holzheimer Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Mapping Brazil from Within: Remote Sensing\, Collaboration\, and Counter-Cartographic Perspectives\nMaps & America: The Arthur Holzheimer Lecture Series returns on April 30 with speaker Dr. Julio Pedrassoli – associate professor at the University of São Paulo – for his presentation “Mapping Brazil from Within: Remote Sensing\, Collaboration\, and Counter-Cartographic Perspectives.” The event will open with a reception at 5:30 p.m.\, and the lecture will begin at 6 p.m. \nPedrassoli will discuss his work leading urban mapping with MapBiomas\, a Brazilian-founded initiative that uses cloud computing\, machine learning\, and decades of satellite imagery to produce large‑scale maps displaying changes in environmental variables over time. Pedrassoli will also analyze the societal impacts of organizing mapping through a collaborative network of academics\, NGOs\, tech companies\, and civil society. By considering maps that challenge dominant power structures\, the lecture examines how such an arrangement shapes data transparency\, methodological openness\, and the public circulation of territorial information\, particularly in deforestation\, land-use change\, climate governance\, and land conflicts. The Brazilian experience is situated as a reference model that has been replicated across South America and the tropical world as a source of innovation in cartography. \nPedrassoli is a remote sensing scientist and geographer with a PhD in Human Geography from the University of São Paulo. His research focuses on mapping urban expansion and housing–poverty dynamics in the Global South. A former research scholar at Columbia University\, he develops advanced methods for mapping informal settlements. \nHeld annually in the spring\, the Maps & America Lecture Series was inaugurated by noted cartographic historian\, Brian Harley\, in 1990. Since its inception\, the lecture series has been generously sponsored by the late Arthur Holzheimer and his wife Janet Holzheimer of the Chicago area. Over the years\, the series has featured many leading figures in the field of map history and provided a multifaceted survey of this rapidly developing field. The lecture series is free and open to the public. To learn more\, view the list of previous Maps & America lectures. \nRegistration has closed. Thank you to those who attended the event. \nBrazil\, Our Land: Map of Brazil\, special series\, political and regional published by Geomapas Editora de Mapas e Guias Ltda. in 1998.
