Presented by Villa Albertine and The Goat Farm, Night of Ideas 2025 will feature late-night discussions on major global issues, complemented by live music, screenings, and performances—all centered around this year’s theme: “Common Ground.”
All events will be held at The Goat Farm,1200 Foster St., from 6 to 11 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
Exploring both its literal and metaphorical meanings, the event invites participants to consider how the community can commit to and protect what we have in common.
Atlanta’s edition will question how we live in cities and embrace the diversity of worlds, addressing three key questions:
- To what extent is Atlanta a common ground for the different communities that call it home?
- What common ground can artists, institutions, and cultural communities create today?
- How can we promote AI and a digital world in service of shared creativity and human diversity?
