The exhibition takes a comparative view of textiles from around the world, introducing the community significance of different designs and individual stylistic choices. The exhibition discusses how fiber art forms have changed as local and global markets develop, as well as the role that clothing can play in displays of nationalism and politics. Ultimately, Unraveled aims to inspire viewers to consider the benefits of hand-crafted works and foster an appreciation for the people behind the woven things we use and love each and every day.The exhibition features several new acquisitions, including three new works acquired from the Jalabil Maya women’s weaving collective during their artist residency last fall.

Skin, inscribed: A selection of contemporary Brazilian hand-processed filmsArtist and curator Tetsuya Maruyama will discuss contemporary practices by Brazilian artists working with analog film. The talk will be followed by a hand-picked program featuring works produced at artist-run film labs (film laboratories by artists, for artists) spread across Brazil’s vast and diverse geopolitical landscapes. Just as a painter applies raw paint on a canvas, a filmmaker applies light (and other matter) on a film strip. In these works, film is profaned as a tangible material, an event that comes into being as an ephemeral situation when it passes through a projector. Should they be called — more appropriately — “photographs in action”?Co-sponsored by the Art Department

Apr. 17th- 12-1pm in 27 Persson AuditoriumErik Lillethun (ECON)Assistant Professor of EconomicsTitle: Designing Information to Foster Evolution Toward CooperationDescription: Concealing and obfuscating information has a bad reputation as being harmful to information recipients. However, it has been proven to be potentially beneficial in many settings. In this talk, I will demonstrate that information may be manipulated to promote evolution toward more cooperative behavior in strategic settings (i.e., games). Of particular interest are games such as the famous Stag Hunt, where there is a conflict between a personally risky but prosocial choice and a safe choice. Past research has shown that evolutionary learning dynamics tend to lead to the safe choice over time. However, I show that if a benevolent designer controls the information that players have about other people's choices, those same evolutionary learning dynamics lead to the prosocial outcome. Surprisingly, it does so by making the prosocial behavior look like the safe behavior. This makes players less certain that others are actually making the safe choice, even when it appears so. I will also discuss the implications of these results for social media platforms.
