The Night of Ideas is an event initiated in 2016 and aiming at discussing the major issues of our time. The Night of Ideas happens every year, on the last Thursday of January. The French Institute invites all cultural and educational institutions in France and on all five continents to celebrate the free flow of ideas and knowledge by offering, on the same evening, conferences, meetings, forums and round tables, as well as screenings, artistic performances and workshops, around a theme each one of them revisits in its own fashion.
For the 7th Night of Ideas, which will take place in Ljubljana in Slovenia on 27 January 2022, the theme “(Re)building together” has been chosen to explore the resilience and reconstruction of societies faced with singular challenges, the solidarities and cooperation between individuals, groups and states, the mobilization of civil societies and the challenges of building and making our objects.
During this event, I will present “The Materials of Tomorrow” with my colleague Pr. Michael Mrissa, and highlight amongst the promising materials, the activities carried out within the FACADE project. Feel free to join us!
