First Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana hasn't held service in decades. Instead it is a destination for those interested in ruins of the past.
Lecture by Aleksander Kwaśniewski, the former President of the Republic of Poland at Dublin City University, 12 February 2015
Multimedia artist Eli Sudbrack visited PNCA for three days to engage with students in a variety of contexts. While at PNCA Sudbrack created a limited edition screen print with the assistance of Printmaking faculty and advance printmaking students and joined Intermedia and Sculpture courses for critique and discussion.
Eli Sudbrack was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and lives and works in Sao Paulo and New York. In 2001 he formed the collective Assume Vivid Astro Focus (avaf). Its principal members are Sudbrack and Christophe Hamaide-Pierson (born in Paris, France in 1973). Avaf fuses drawing, sculpture, video, and performance into carnavalesque installations in which gender, politics, and cultural codes float freely. A study in visual adaptation and modification, avaf’s work recycles and transforms imagery from one project to the next—often in the form of densely patterned wallpapers and graphic signage. Personal expression and a lust for life feature prominently in projects simultaneously rooted in the politics of free speech, civil rights, and the dissolution of rigid classifications of class, gender, and national identity. In frequent collaborations with musicians, designers, dancers, and other artists, avaf challenges conventional assumptions about authorship and the role of the artist’s persona in contemporary society and the art world.

Questions from the audience and online for the keynote speaker.
The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is pleased to host the 28th Annual Martin J. Forman Memorial Lecture. The Annual Lecture commemorates the significant impact on international nutrition by Martin J. Forman, who headed the Office of Nutrition at USAID for more than 20 years. The annual lecturer is invited to present his or her personal, often unconventional, views about large issues dealing with malnutrition.
Over recent decades, as global food systems have changed rapidly, so has the face of malnutrition. Obesity and the double burden of malnutrition have risen dramatically, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Many of these countries are using fiscal and regulatory tools to address these issues, with little evidence on their effectiveness.
This lecture will discuss findings from our evaluations of these public health efforts around the world. Some surprising new results—including impressive findings on the impact of marketing and front-of-the-package profiling options—may shift the focus of our actions. However, we still have much to learn about what works and how we can sustain dietary improvements. To date, no country has successfully arrested or even slowed the rise in overweight and obesity. Our challenge is assembling a set of effective programs and policies to address the new face of malnutrition.
