Night of Ideas: More? Saturday, March 4 | 7 PM San Francisco Public Library, Main Branch In Person: Free This year's edition of Night of Ideas brings together dozens of local cultural organizations, leading thinkers and artists to contemplate the theme "More?" In a world driven by the logic of growth, what does it mean to have "more"? What do we need "more" of: More material abundance, connection, creativity? More justice? More joy? Can we share "more" -- and can we sustain it? Will "more" ever be enough? Join KQED, SFMOMA, the San Francisco Public Library and the Villa Albertine San Francisco, along with artistic curating partner Circuit Network, for another inspiring marathon of talks, performances, food, art and collective imagination.

Learn about them over drinks, laughs and a competitive storytelling bingo game night honoring pathbreaking women of Bay Area history! Register Hella Caffeinated con Pan Thursday, March 30 | 7 PM In Person: $15 | Livestream: Free Can coffee create community? Café con pan is a Latinx custom for catching up with family or bonding with new friends while sipping on some coffee paired with warm conchas (or any pan dulce!). Dive into the history and culture of coffee with three Latinx women-owned cafés and bakeries in the Bay Area. We'll learn how San Francisco's Abanico Coffee Roasters sources its favorite roasts, see how Oakland's Café Con Cariño creates their own flavoring syrups, and taste some of Norte 54's delicate pan dulce, while they all share experiences of rooting their Bay Area businesses in their Latinx cultures. Register Explore the History of Bay Area Hip-Hop To celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, KQED’s Arts & Culture team launched a year-long multimedia project, That’s My Word, with a timeline of Bay Area hip-hop history. This timeline is a living, evolving collection of key events from the past five decades. Explore by filtering by decade to discover big cultural-impact moments as well as small acts that had a ripple effect over time. Tap In Catch most KQED Live events on our KQED Live YouTube Channel!
