Land. Water. Climate Change. Colonialism. 

Each year the Institut français, which links the Alliance française network, holds a global "Nuit des idées," or "Night of Ideas." This is a celebration of thought and an opportunity to renew intellectual debate "à la française." It is an evening of dynamic and engaging exchanges that highlight contemporary debates in a creative and multidisciplinary way. This year's theme is "Face au present," or "Facing the present." 

In Manitoba, Canada, and the world, we cannot speak of "Facing the Present" without addressing climate change and the ongoing realities of colonialism. Join activists, artists, academics, and filmmakers for a multidisciplinary exploration of local perspectives on, and resistance to, environmental degradation. Exchange ideas amidst art installations, film screenings, live music and a cash bar.

Free event. Presentations in English. Wheelchair access and gender neutral washrooms to be confirmed.
