MARCH 7 | 11th Street Bridge Park Launches “What’s Next” Discussion Series

The 11th Street Bridge Park is kicking off an exciting new conversation series designed to spark big ideas and bold thinking about our shared future.

What’s Next brings together thought leaders, writers, and community voices to explore how we can build a more prosperous, connected, and joyful world. The series creates space for meaningful dialogue around the systems, structures, and everyday experiences that shape our communities.

The inaugural event will take place on March 7 and features a conversation with Anand Pandian, author of Something Between Us: The Everyday Walls of American Life and How to Take Them Down. His work examines the visible and invisible barriers that divide us and offers insights into how we can begin to dismantle them in our daily lives.

The discussion will be held at THEARC Black Box from 4:00 – 6:00 PM, followed by a free reception where attendees can continue the conversation and connect with fellow community members.

This new series reflects the Bridge Park’s ongoing commitment to fostering dialogue, connection, and collective imagination. Community members are encouraged to attend, listen, share, and help shape what comes next.
