A recent exhibit on socially engaged art was on view at Stamps Gallery in the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art and Design (Sept 21-Nov 18 2018). Gregory Sholette was included as one of the artists.

Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement, Civil RightsMovements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination, re-writing the canonical accounts of history, building contemporary culture, and solidarity. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desireretraces and learns from the models of collectivity and organizing developed by artists, designers, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and explore how can we re-imagine a vibrant and inclusive future.
