SUMMARY:deCLASSIFIED: ENGAGING WITH THE ASHOKA ARCHIVE
DESCRIPTION:DEPARTMENT OF VISUAL ARTS IN COLLABORATION with ARCHIVES OF CONTEMPORARY INDIA present \n \nCan an archive become more than a point of preservation?\nCan it move beyond holding the past\, and begin to open new ways of thinking\, questioning\, and connecting with the present? \nAt the crossroads of the political\, the personal and pedagogy\,\nwe invite you to join us in this shared conversation.  \nMonday\, 27th April – Tuesday\, 28th April 2026 \nAC02-008 – 009 (LR)  \n{end semester exhibition by the scholars of Visualising with the Archive/ Visual Arts Department} \nEngaging with Archives of Contemporary India (ACI)\, the scholars delve into the dual role of the archive\, serving as both a tool and a point of reference for shaping their artistic and storytelling visions. \nWorking with the Archive and its diverse collections\, here scholars engage and negotiate their experience\, research and learnings through visual storytelling through art\, comics\, video game\, photography\, music video\, journals\, interactive stories\, picture books\, flash mob and palimpsests. \n The Archive acts as a space for engagement and inspiration. Deriving from its collections\, this is a collective effort to declassify. \nWe look forward to your visit and interaction. \nWe would also like to thank the entire team at the Archives for extending their unconditional support through the semester. \n  \nwarm regards\, \nDepartment of Visual Arts

SUMMARY:Parde Ke Peeche Kya Hai?: Cinema\, Desire and Fantasy
DESCRIPTION:Centre for Studies in Gender and Sexuality is pleased to invite you to 'Parde Ke Peeche Kya Hai? Cinema\, Desire and Fantasy'\, on April 27\, a day full of cinema and conversation. \nJoin us for a special screening of City Girls (by Priya Thuvassery\, The Third Eye Films)\, My Other Self is Plastic (by Khushi Bano\, The Third Eye Films)\, Mandi (by Yashovardhan Mishra) and Ebb (by Jeo Baby). \nThe screenings will be followed by lunch for the audience. \nThe event will conclude with a panel discussion featuring Jeo Baby\, Shabani Hassanwalia\, and Yashowardhan Mishra on cinema and desire\, moderated by Ananya Dasgupta. With the panel\, we will interrogate how cinema produces\, manages and circulates desires. We will engage with films\, not just as a platform for representation\, but as an affective machinery that\, in conversation with society\, culture and the law\, negotiates with legible and illegible desires. \nSCHEDULE \n12 PM – Screening of City Girls (2021) \n12.40 PM – Screening of My Other Self is Plastic (2025) \n12.55 PM – Screening of Mandi (2019) \n1.15 PM – Screening of Ebb (2025) \n— LUNCH— \n3.30 PM – 5.30 PM – Panel Discussion and Q&A with Jeo Baby\, Shabani Hassanwalia\, and Yashowardhan Mishra \n⭐ Venue: AC01 LR-207 \n  \nAbout the Panellists: \nJeo Baby is known for his incisive explorations of family\, gender\, and everyday life. His films include 2 Penkuttikal (2016)\, Kilometers and Kilometers (2020)\, The Great Indian Kitchen (2021)\, Freedom Fight (2022)\, and Kaathal – The Core (2023). The Great Indian Kitchen received widespread critical acclaim and won several honours\, including the Kerala State Film Award for Best Film with Popular Appeal and recognition at multiple international film festivals. \nShabani Hassanwalia is a writer and a filmmaker\, and producer at The Third Eye. Her feature documentaries include Being Bhaijaan (2014)\, Gali (2017)\, and Out of Thin Air (2009)\, which played on MUBI and won multiple national and international festivals. \nYashowardhan Mishra’s film Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery (2023) won the Best Hindi Film award at the 71st National Film Awards\, marking his emergence as a distinctive new voice in Hindi cinema. His work blends satire and social realism\, often exploring class and gender dynamics in small-town India. \nAbout the Moderator: Ananya Dasgupta is a Writing Faculty member of Critical Inquiry and Expression at the Young India Fellowship. She is a student of literature\, film\, philosophy\, and psychoanalysis. She studied English Literature at Jadavpur University before working on her doctoral thesis at IIT Bombay and Monash University. \n  \nWe hope to see you there! \n  \n

SUMMARY:CS Colloquium |Secure Information Flow Connections
DESCRIPTION:Dear All\, \nThe Department of Computer Science invites you to  a colloquium by Professor Sanjiva Prasad\, IIT Delhi \nTitle: Secure Information Flow Connections \n(Joint work with : Chandrika Bhardwaj\, Goldman Sachs India) \nZoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/93600106710?pwd=PfQrK3BoAIbyJHwMtuG6ijh6MB1oeT.1 \nAbstract: Denning's (1976) lattice model provided secure information flow analyses with an intuitive mathematical foundation: the lattice ordering determines permitted flows. We propose a connection-based extension of this framework that permits two autonomous organisations\, each employing possibly quite different security lattices\, to exchange information while maintaining security of information flow as well as their autonomy in formulating and maintaining security policies. Our prescriptive framework is based on the rigorous mathematical framework of Lagois connections proposed by Melton\, together with a simple type system and operational model for transferring object data between the two domains. The merit of this formulation is that it is simple\, minimal\, adaptable and intuitive. We show that our framework is semantically sound\, by proving that the connections proposed preserve standard correctness notions such as noninterference. We then illustrate via examples how Lagois theory also provides a robust framework and methodology for negotiating and maintaining secure agreements on information flow between autonomous organisations\, even when either or both organisations change their security lattices. Composition and decomposition properties indicate support for a modular approach to secure flow frameworks in complex organisations. Finally\, a natural and conservative extension of the Decentralised Labels Model of Myers et al. shows the applicability of the framework — a Lagois connection between the hierarchies of principals in two organisations naturally induces a Lagois connection between the corresponding security label lattices\, thus extending the security guarantees ensured by the decentralised model to encompass bidirectional interorganisational flows. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Sanjiva Prasad is a Professor and former Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (2018-2021) and also the Amar Nath and Shashi Khosla School of Information Technology (2011-20015) at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. His research interests include formal methods\, programming languages and their semantics\, security of information flow and networks\, and medical applications of computing. He has written several conference and journal papers in these areas\, served on the technical programme committees of several international conferences\, and delivered seminar talks at leading universities across the world. He is currently Co-Editor-in-Chief of ACM Books (based in New York).  \nProf. Prasad was Head of IIT Delhi's School of Public Policy (2022-24). His research interests in this area concern issues regarding data and computation\, and their confidentiality and integrity\, in particular health-related data systems. He is also interested in issues of higher education\, pedagogical processes and affordable access to educational materials. \nPrior to working at IIT Delhi\, Prof. Prasad worked on program verification at Odyssey Research Associates in Ithaca\, USA from 1990-1992\, and then at the European Computer-Industry Research Center (ECRC GmbH) in Munich\, Germany from 1992-1994 on the Facile project which was based on his dissertation. He was a visiting Lektor at BRICS\,Aarhus University from 1998 to 1999. His PhD is from Stony Brook University\, New York\, and he earned a BTech in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 1985. \nWe look forward to your active participation.
