DESCRIPTION:The Future We Share: Activism, Creativity, and Collective 
 Imagination\n\nJoin us for a nocturnal celebration of art, philosophy, and 
 activism! From solar energy and housing justice to communal music and 
 movement, Night of Ideas – Santa Cruz invites you to explore interactive 
 sessions on democracy, environmental solutions, and housing rights, as well 
 as immersive experiences fostering embodied connection. With a Capoeira 
 opening, sculptural performances, and live piano meditations, come create, 
 move, and reflect on our shared future! The 2025 Program is below.\n\nThis 
 event is brought to you by the Center for Public Philosophy, with support

 place from March 27 through April 6, Night of Ideas returns this year with 
 nocturnal arts and culture marathons in cities across the U.S. Events will 
 feature late-night discussions addressing major global issues, plus live 
 music, screenings, performances, and more, all centered this year’s 
 theme, “common ground.” Exploring the expression’s literal and 
 metaphorical interpretations, Night of Ideas will prompt 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? Learn more and sign up for updates at
