Join us for the International Festival Of Arts And Ideas!!

150+ events, one Festival. It all happens in New Haven, Connecticut.

Schedule of Events:

6:00 pm: Sensation vs. Thinking - Stetson Branch Library

"We bombard people with sensation," he said, "That substitutes for thinking." - Fahrenheit 451

Join Mercy Quaye for an insightful discussion on the overwhelming nature of mass media. In a world flooded with information, media often evokes strong emotions but doesn't always leave room for critical thinking and deeper analysis. This conversation will explore how we process media, its impact on our perceptions, and strategies to engage with information more thoughtfully.
