MICA presents a public lecture by Pittsburgh-based artists and Conflict Kitchen co-founders and co-directors Jon Rubin and Dawn Weleski as part of this year’s Wm. O. Steinmetz ’50 Designers-in- Residence. Conflict Kitchen is a restaurant that serves cuisines from countries currently in diplomatic or armed conflict with the United States, and uses the social relations of eating as a means of understanding. Past examples include Iranian, Afghan, Venezuelan, North Korean and Palestinian.
