Unite the Universe: Sci-Fi Stories as Examples of Intergalactic Friendship
Science fiction is more than just entertainment—the powerful stories in STAR TREK and DOCTOR WHO show us how humans can connect across differences for the benefit of all living things. Our panel of experts will compare how each series imagines everything from the future of humanity to the directive to explore time and space without interfering (too much). We’ll also delve into the power of fandoms and how both STAR TREK and DOCTOR WHO bring hope, build empathy, and show us new ways of thinking about friendship.
Comic-Con Museum
Comic-Con International (Comic-Con), a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is opening the Comic-Con Museum in San Diego’s Balboa Park. This new cultural attraction will encourage an appreciation of comics and related popular arts through exhibitions, performances, educational programs, and outreach efforts. The Comic-Con Museum will be a year-round operation, manifesting the same values of accessibility, curiosity and appreciation that have driven the organization’s world-famous conventions. Through exhibits that refresh frequently and consistently, and programs that offer opportunities to learn, experience, and participate, the Museum will continue to build awareness and appreciation for the valuable contribution of popular culture. The Museum will be visitor-focused, whether a Comic-Con fan or a member of the general public and will provide engrossing experiences that engage curiosity and inspire learning.
