In "Andrea Carlson Future Cache," a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”
Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.
Through the Looking Glass: A Discussion of the Art of Microscopy
From the earliest rudimentary lenses to the marvels of modern science that are today’s state-of-the-art microscopes, microscopy has revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. Beginning with the Nimrud (Layard) lens, a piece of rock crystal that dates back to the 8th century BC, through modern-day devices like electron microscopes and scanning probe microscopes, we will explore how microscopes have been used and improved over time. Join us on this enlightening voyage through the annals of microscopy as we celebrate the minds and inventions that have shaped our understanding of the micro cosmos, and explore the transformative potential that advanced microscopy holds for the future of scientific discovery. Presented by Dr. Ronald J. Tackett, Associate Professor of Physics - Kettering University.
