Events Description
Join us for an evening on creativity and innovation with award-winning musician, performer, writer, and artist, David Byrne, as he gives a presentation on his latest book Sleeping Beauties: Why Good Ideas Go Dormant and How They Wake Up.
Some of the most important discoveries and works of art did not gain traction for decades, falling asleep only to wake up and flourish. Sleeping Beauties offers hope, to try new things, take risks, and embrace uncertainty. Drawing on examples from history, science, culture, and everyday life, Byrne examines why promising ideas can be overlooked, forgotten, or dismissed, and to consider which seemingly forgotten possibilities might still have the power to shape the future.
