Live, from New York! (pt. 2)
History Club teams up with Unfinished Live and Clubhouse for an in-person event on Sept. 24 in NYC
History Club returns next week with a special event live from New York City!
We’re thrilled to be participating in Unfinished Live, a two-day conference featuring technologists, journalists, thought leaders and artists examining the ethics of digital technology and decentralization. The conference is hosted by Emmy-nominated comedian and podcast host Baratunde Thurston.
What: A special History Club conversation, part of Unfinished Live.
Where: Live at The Shed, Hudson Yards, New York City + simulcast on Clubhouse.
Hosted by: Unfinished Live, in partnership with the Aspen Institute, Georgetown University, Clubhouse and many more.
Get tickets: Tickets include access to the entire two-day conference + lunch. Proof of vaccination is required.
The theme of the conference is decentralization. As such, our History Club event will be titled “Decentralizing the National Narrative.” We’ll explore whether tech, social media and legacy media are unwinding a tidier narrative of U.S. history we may have once told ourselves, and ask what the consequences of such an unraveling might be.
About Unfinished Live: Unfinished Live is a two-day ideas festival at The Shed, 15 Hudson Yards, 30th Street between 10th Avenue and 11th Avenue, NYC. Hosted by Emmy-nominated comedian Baratunde Thurston, speakers include tech journalist Casey Newton; CEO of the New America Foundation Anne-Marie Slaughter; tech entrepreneur Anil Dash; New Yorker Staff Writer Andrew Marantz; Vivian Schiller of the Aspen Institute, and many more. Spread across multiple stages, Clubhouse will have its own studio specially-designed for joint in-person and virtual conversations. Click here for the full schedule.
