Last spring, the 2020 Pittsburgh Humanities Festival, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and the Humanities Center, was cancelled in response to the COVID 19 pandemic. We are therefore bringing some of those events to you on line, Friday evenings at 7:00 PM during the month of October.  See below for details.

 

 

Pittsburgh Humanities Festival @ Home

Presented by

 

a production of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust & the Humanities Center at Carnegie Mellon University

October 2, 9, 16, & 23 | 7 pm

Join the conversation this fall, wherever you are, as Pittsburgh Humanities Festival @ Home presents "smart talk about stuff that matters." Catch free and fascinating live-streamed interviews with artists, academics, and intellectual innovators exploring a range of topics — from health care and policy, to incarceration, technology, and creating opportunities for artists of color in Pittsburgh.

Originally slated for March of 2020, and canceled due to the onset of the pandemic, this virtual reboot of the Pittsburgh Humanities Festival features a selection of guests originally slated for in-person "Core Conversations" — a cornerstone of the usual in-person Cultural District experience. Designed as virtual opportunities for meaningful dialogue, including a live Q&A opportunity, these events will connect us for conversation when we need it most. Each talk will be streamed on the Cultural Trust's Facebook page and YouTube channel.
