Thanks to Emily Smith Beitiks. organized by the Paul K Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University.
Disabled people certainly know what it is like to “live on the edge,” deeply marginalized in present day society, but our speakers will dream about what a different future for disability might look like, one in which disability is celebrated for the creative and generative force it provides.

The Night of Ideas
The French Consulate in San Francisco, KQED, San Francisco Public Library, and SFMOMA invite you to the second edition of Night of Ideas.
This seven-hour marathon of philosophical debate, keynotes, panels, performances, and interactive experiences is designed to spur dialogue and creative participation on the theme “Living on the Edge.” Each floor of the library was devoted to exploring the different edges on which contemporary life in the Bay Area is balanced:
CHAOS + CREATION How do we cope with disorder and disruption to fashion new ways to think and be?
WONDER + WORRY
What anxieties about the future weigh on us most, and what fascinations will transform the way we live?
EXCLUSION + BELONGING
How do we find belonging and identity while making space for differences of lived experience?
TRUTH + DOUBT With consensus about history and facts increasingly fractured, what narratives should we affirm?
CIRCULATION + BORDERS How do we transcend limits on movement for a healthy economy and a just society? thought-leaders, creators, storytellers, dreamers, and change-makers as they address these topics in keynote talks and discussion sessions.
See a special live broadcast of KQED’s Forum with host Mina Kim. Share your own creative voice and exchange ideas in a range of participatory workshops, activities, or open mics. Enjoy spectacular performances and music by local artists shaping the culture of the Bay
