December 6, 2016, Tuesday - Big Ideas: Words for Change at The Loft
Time: 7:00pm
Location: The Loft Literary Center, at Open Book (Performance Hall), 1011 Washington Ave
Can words really change the world? We often say that actions speak louder than words. If we believe that's true, maybe words can't do all that much to make the world a better place. Maybe only action leads to change. But don't we also often say that words matter? That they're something uniquely human, and at their best, aren't they also powerful actions in themselves? Aren't words, poems and stories capable of effecting change in a family, community, country or world? In the Loft's first Big Ideas conversation they're going to get to the heart of hearts and minds. They'll explore how and when words provoke someone to act, change their mind or find common understanding. Join them for a conversation with writers and community leaders who use language and storytelling to build bridges of understanding and effect change in the world. Sun Yung Shin will facilitate the conversation, joined by Alexs D. Pate and Tea Rozman Clark. Regular admission: $10.00; members: $5.00.
