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?
