How our Fear of Fat can make us Unhealthy

Cafe Science Extra
Wednesday 9th January 2013, 6pm
Infusion coffee shop, Dundee Science Centre, Greenmarket, DD1 4QB

Most people would agree that exercise is good for you and fat is bad for you.  Weight loss through exercise or dieting are the modern prescriptions for health.  But how is our young generation of women interpreting this message?

Drawing on interviews with girls aged 11-14. This talk from Morgan Windram-Geddes from the University of Dundee, reveals how our beliefs about health are putting more and more girls 'off' doing sport or exercise and leading other girls to engage in 'unhealthy' practices in their eating and exercise habits.

Join us at our regular venue, the delightful Infusion coffee shop, inside Dundee Science Centre. Doors open at 5.00pm when the coffee shop will be serving drinks and snacks.

This is a FREE event and EVERYONE IS WELCOME. There is no need to book in advance but please arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Performance within Portraiture

Dundee Arts Cafe
Tuesday 5th February, 6pm
The McManus Café, Albert Square, Meadowside, Dundee.

This talk by Clare Brennan, from the University of Abertay, will discus how her large scale oil paintings and small scale drawings seek to create performance within portraiture, using realism to portray the unreal. She finds the notion of creating fantastical narratives and portraying unattainable beauty within a single image an exhilarating challenge. Her paintings look at life as a series of little performances, short stories and dramatic plays.

Her art is about story telling, holding the viewers attention, compelling them to unravel the tale.

So please join us in the New Year for this FREE event at the café in The McManus Galleries. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment. The event is likely to last one hour.

Everyone welcome.

The McManus remains open all day up to the start of this event.

Tasty hot snacks, hot and cold drinks, wine and beer are all available from the Cafe before the talk starts.
