Conflict Kitchen
Bolani Pazi - Afghan Takeout

Conflict Kitchen is a take-out restaurant in Pittsburgh that only serves cuisine from countries with which the United States is in conflict. The food is served out of a take-out style storefront that rotates identities every six months to highlight another country.  

 

Each iteration of the project is augmented by events, performances, and discussions that seek to expand the engagement the public has with the culture, politics, and issues at stake within the focus country.   These events have included live international Skype dinner parties between citizens of Pittsburgh and young professionals in Tehran, Iran; documentary filmmakers in Kabul, Afghanistan; and community radio activists in Caracas, Venezuela.  Learn More... 

 

Quiet Leadership by David Rock

 

For those of you interested in the work being done to connect brain science and leadership, I strongly recommend that you add this book to your library. It is excellent!
Quiet Leadership Improving employee performance involves one of the hardest challenges in the known universe: changing the way they think. David Rock (author) has proven that the secret to leading people (and living and working with them) is found in the space between their ears. "If people are being paid to think," he writes, "isn't it time the business world found out what the thing doing the work, the brain, is all about?" Supported by the latest groundbreaking research, Quiet Leadership provides a brain-based approach that will help busy leaders, executives, and managers improve their own and their colleagues' performance.
