The Symposium NYC: The Future Is a Public Good

Symposium #4: The Future Is a Public Good: Toward a Politics of Collective Life

In an era when everything, from water to education to democracy itself, is up for sale, this discussion asks: what would it mean to treat the future as a shared, public good? Drawing on readings from Understanding Power by Noam Chomsky, podcast reflections on justice and the common good, and videos on The Privatization of Everything, we’ll explore how power operates, how privatization reshapes civic life, and how we might reclaim collective responsibility, care, and imagination as tools for building a more just world.

Join us for "The Symposium," a vibrant discussion-style event blending intellect and leisure at Silvana!

This eclectic gathering invites critical thinkers and curious minds to engage in dynamic discussions on contemporary topics ranging from philosophy and arts to technology and culture, all while enjoying great food, delicious cocktails, and good company. With shared reading and listening materials and guided conversations, this event is an opportunity to network and converse in a relaxed atmosphere, where we hope you can engage in dialogue that will leave you feeling inspired and connected.

Whether you’re a seasoned conversationalist or just looking to learn something new, come raise a glass and share your ideas in an unforgettable evening of conversation and creativity!

Presented by La Fuñenda, a community-oriented, POC, artist centered, queer collective.
