Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10, 1776, with an initial print run of just 1,000 copies; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Join Cranbrook Academy of Art at deSalle Auditorium for a free, public lecture with Germane Barnes on Tuesday, April 14, at 6pm. Please enter through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library; Cranbrook Art Museum will be closed.
Germane Barnes is a Chicago-born, Miami-based licensed architect, designer, and founding principal of Studio Barnes, a research-driven design practice that interrogates the intersections of architecture and identity. Through Studio Barnes, Barnes examines architecture’s social and political agency, blending rigorous historical research with speculative design to explore how the built environment shapes—and is shaped by—culture, race, and community. In addition to his professional practice, Barnes serves as an Associate Professor and Director of the Master of Architecture Graduate Programs at the University of Miami School of Architecture, where he mentors emerging designers and fosters critical discourse around architecture’s cultural and societal impact.

Step into a powerful new exhibition celebrating the fearless women of the Greek Revolution.
#WeAreGreekWarriors brings the heroines of 1821 into today’s cultural conversation through bold contemporary art and modern storytelling. Fighters, strategists, and champions of freedom, these extraordinary women helped shape history, yet many of their names remain unknown.
Now, their stories come to life at the Hellenic Museum of Michigan in a groundbreaking exhibition featuring original campaign prints alongside stunning works by acclaimed contemporary artist Ramona Pintea. Reclaiming history through a fresh, fearless lens, the exhibit honors and highlights the women of the Greek Revolution while speaking directly to the women of today. Through dynamic programming, cultural events, and interactive experiences, it connects the strength of 1821 to the leadership, voices, and impact of women now.
Women of all backgrounds and generations are invited to experience this inspiring tribute and rediscover their own warrior spirit.
