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.

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.

Frances Farrand Dodge (1887-1969) was a recognized artist of the arts and crafts movement. Her work largely consisted of etchings, but she also worked in oil paint and watercolor. Her work has been collected by many museums, including the Cincinnati Museum of Art and the Smithsonian. This exhibit will feature works from the personal collections of the artist's family.
