Mark your calendars! Los Angeles’ Night of Ideas 2025 is coming to the Wende Museum on Saturday, April 5!
Centered on the theme “Common Ground,” the event will bring together leading thinkers, artists, scientists, and cultural organizations to examine what unites us—our histories, our skies, and our artistic expressions.
Get ready to explore how literature, urbanism, climate action, and history bring us together through global topics—from wildfires reshaping Los Angeles to the oceans mirroring our environmental choices. The night will also reflect on sports as a shared experience uniting France and the U.S., the historic ties between Haiti, France, and the U.S., and the ability of literature to transcend borders. Engage in a thought-provoking discussion on AI and ethics, and reflect on surveillance and agency with artist Ken Gonzales Day.
✨ Don’t miss this free, open-to-the-public event at the Wende Museum—an unforgettable night of creativity and conversation. This evening will fill the entire museum with conferences, interactive workshops, and artistic performances. Stroll through the garden, enjoy food trucks and a bar, and gaze at the stars from the rooftop with the Los Angeles Astronomical Society!
