The Global Lives Project features 24 hours in the lives of ten people from around the world in a multimedia installation by architectural and design visionaries of Sand Studios and FOURM design+build+educate. In conjunction with this groundbreaking exhibition, YBCA offers public programs to foster greater engagement with the Global Lives Project’s ideas, multiculturalism, and activism. Literary Death Match: Travel Writing in Turbulent Times Fri, Jun 11, 6:30-9 pm YBCA Forum $10 General Admission Def Poetry Jam meets Double Dare at this gloves-off, glasses-on competitive reading extravaganza! Notorious wordsmiths Jillian Lauren, Daniel Alarcón, and others navigate their way through two rounds of cutthroat, tongue-in-cheek judging by the likes of author Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket series) and ice skating star Brian Boitano. The final, legendary Death Match round is sure to shock and awe. Visit www.literarydeathmatch.com for more information.
