Battle of Ideas 2013 19 & 20 October, London. Two days of high-level, thought-provoking, public debate organised by the Institute of Ideas at the Barbican.
80 sessions, 350 speakers, 2000+ attendees
Sessions include:
Putting the past on trial: burning dead witches?
Designing citizens: architects as nudgers?
Is public art an insult to the public?
Do as I say not as I do: ethical dilemmas in public and private
"The Battle of Ideas is free of that stifling British squeamishness about the serious discussion of ideas. It offers a rare chance to join the dots in contemporary politics and culture."
