From February to July 2016 the Providence Public Library is hosting an ongoing series of exhibits and events that toys with the notion of temporality and time. Called Portals, it engages in speculation while examining the past. On April 4 they will open their digital audio exhibit Providence 2050-Visualizing Tomorrow with a reception at 5:30 followed by a 6:30 discussion.
Meet the participants, enjoy a signature cocktail, and participate in a conversation with some of our interviewees where we’ll explore two main themes that emerged from the interviews:
Innovation: Providence as a place to take risks
Inclusion: Providence as a place that celebrates social justice
