Alliance Française Vancouver, the French Embassy in Canada, UBC Peter Wall
Institute of Advanced Studies and BCIT
invite you to the think and share about slowness. Discussions
will be held in English.
The Night of
Ideas
is an evening of creative thinking, taking place in 200 cities and 100 countries in early February 2023.
A highly popular ‘world-wide festival of thought’, the Night of Ideas was initiated by Institut Français in Paris and is organized with
international partners.
Night of Ideas 2023 is the 8th
edition of the event, and this year’s theme is More?.
Speakers and performers will reflect on
More? in all its aspects - our consumer society, climate
emergency, demographic inequities, performance improvements, augmented humanity....
The free event offers a creative and interactive evening to encourage participants and attendees to engage in a global
debate on contemporary issues.
In Vancouver, we
interpreted this year’s international theme "More?" on a temporal point of view, “Slow is beautiful”.
What is at stake in this search for speed,
in this acceleration of our lifestyles? Questioning the logic of More?, the "Night of Ideas" in 2023 invites us to reflect on
the models of "performance" and "growth" on which this logic is based, to think of innovation but also
over-consumption and programmed obsolescence; and to look at both the local and global logics for global warming.
AN EVENING OF TALKS
4 SPEAKERS FROM DIFFERENT FIELDS OF EXPERTISE
AND ARTISTIC PERFORMANCES
3 ARTISTS TO INTERPRET MORE?
