Meeting discusses the importance of research to combat violence against women

Despite 12 years of existence of 'Maria da Penha' Law, violence against women for gender reasons still presents alarming levels and increasing scales of gravity. In order to address the production of scientific research as the structuring axis of policies to combat violence against women, IEA's Human Rights, Democracy, Policy and Memory Research Group, and USP Women will hold the seminar 'Access to Information and Violence against Women' on August 23, at 2.00 pm. The meeting will use the Portuguese experiences of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa's National Observatory on Violence and Gender (ONVG), and the Survey of Socioeconomic Conditions, and Domestic and Family Violence against Women (PCSVDFMulher) as references, counting on the presence of the supervisors of both studies. Coordination will be in charge of sociologist Wânia Pasinato, advisor to USP Women.

Breda Škrjanec gives a conference on printmaking changes since the 1980s

Contemporary printmaking evolved from its basic processes to a broader interdisciplinary territory which covers much of the postmodern artistic practice. The assessment is by visual arts curator Breda Škrjanec, from the International Centre of Graphic Arts in Slovenia, who will speak about the changes at the conference 'Printmaking Technique Perspectives: Thinking Through History to Postmodern Processes and Social Intervention,' to be held onAugust 27, at 10.30 am, at the IEA. For Škrjanec, a landmark in the recent evolution of printmaking was the exhibition 'Thinking Print: Books to Billboards, 1980-1995,' held by the MoMa, in New York, in 1996. It "detected and legitimized changes in contemporary printmaking to an expanded field."
