Late-night discussions addressing major global issues, plus live music, screenings, performances, and more!
Night of Ideas returns this year with nocturnal arts and culture marathons in cities across the U.S. The theme of Night of Ideas 2025, “(Un)Common Ground,” invites us to consider the values and resources that bind us together. In an increasingly digital world, how can we foster authentic interpersonal connection? Given a polarized political landscape, where are our opportunities for dialogue? As extreme weather threatens our planet, how can we preserve the land beneath our feet?
We also welcome back Afternoon of Ideas, a family program ahead of the main event inviting younger generations to participate in crafts, performances, and workshops with popular children’s book authors, artists, and educators next door at the San Francisco Main Library.
Join KQED, the Asian Art Museum, the San Francisco Public Library, Villa Albertine San Francisco, Circuit Network and other curating partners for another inspiring marathon of talks, performances, food, art, and collective imagination.
