Night of Ideas 2023
Public talks
Time: 04 - 05 March 2023 -
Location: San Francisco, CA
The Bay Area's biggest celebration of creativity and critical thought is back at the San Francisco Public Library's Main Branch.
This year's edition brings together dozens of local cultural organizations, leading thinkers and artists to contemplate the theme "More?" In a world driven by the logic of growth, what does it mean to have "more"? What do we need "more" of: More material abundance, connection, creativity? More justice? More joy? Can we share "more" -- and can we sustain it? Will "more" ever be enough?
Join San Francisco Public Library, KQED, SFMOMA, Villa Albertine San Francisco and Circuit Network for another inspiring marathon of talks, performances and art on all seven floors of the Main Library. Friends of the San Francisco Public Library and Value Culture host a lounge and DJ dance party. The evening will also feature pop-up performances and a small marketplace featuring San Francisco businesses.
10 pm the SETI Institute presents More Space! Our Interplanetary and Interstellar Human Future. Speakers will be Molly Bentley (moderator), Pascal Lee and Franck Marchis (all of the SETI Institute), along with Clement Vidal (Berkeley SETI Research Center).
