The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture is getting together with The Dallas Morning for “For The City: The Dallas Festival Of Ideas” on Friday, February 27 and Friday, February 28. Yes, there will be musicians and performers, but more! The festival will provide the opportunity for locals and nationally renowned experts like Vishann Chakrabarti, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Elizabeth Green, Rahaf Harfoush and Luis Alberto Urrea to swap ideas on “What does the next century look like for Dallas as a physical city?”
According to DMN Editor Bob Mong, “This festival is about unveiling the next big idea, taking that idea and working out how we can apply it to Dallas. It is a festival that is not just about talking heads, it is about channeling action. Something tangible will come out of this festival, and I can’t wait to see what that will be.”
The festival will be taking place at various venues within the Dallas Arts District.
The schedule of speakers, topics and locations is listed here. Tickets start at $30 and a two-day pass is $90 for early birds.
