Symposium | Global Sexualized Violence: From Epidemiology to Action


This symposium is dedicated to exploring cutting-edge scientific topics in epidemiology and population health. The goal of this symposium is to bring together the best scientists, journalist, and policy makers to tackle the problem of how to end sexualized violence. Epidemiologists document the scope and burden of sexualized violence and publish about it in academic journals. The media reports on the problem. Lawyers and policy makers try to address the issue through legislation. However, it is rare that these three groups actually have the opportunity to listen and talk with each other.

Opening Reception | The Book Lovers, a Multi-Disciplinary Exhibition


The Book Lovers, a multi-disciplinary exhibition, series of events, and library, all rising out of the phenomenon of artist novels. The Book Lovers curators embarked on this project in order to create public awareness about the rising artistic trend of artists turning to the fiction novel as their medium. Through an onsite collection of 140 novels written by artists and an installation of artworks in varied media that each link to select novels by their same artists, the curators of The Book Lovers invite us to think about literature as a tool for creating expanded narratives in the visual arts. Preceded at 6pm by a presentation by Roee Rosen on the Jewish Belgian Surrealist artist and pornographer Justine Frank.
