Villa Albertine’s signature evening of arts and culture marathon, “Night of Ideas” will take place from March 27 through April 6 across 20 US cities. The event invites thought leaders, activists, performers, authors, and academics to engage the public in late-night discussions addressing major global issues. This year’s unifying theme is “Common Ground,” prompting participants to consider how we can commit to and protect what we have in common. How can we foster authentic interpersonal connection in an increasingly digital world? In 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? Night of Ideas is presented by Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation and coordinated worldwide by the Institut Français.
