Sunday, April 2, at Roxy's Downtown in Wichita, KS
Presented by KMUW, Wichitalks is an eclectic and insightful event series featuring lightning-fast, 5-minute talks with 20 slides auto-progressing every 15 seconds. We bring together passionate individuals and an active audience for an evening of diverse presentations.
For this special NEA Big Read Edition of Wichitalks in partnership with Wichita Public Library, we invited presentations pertaining to the concept of aging and end of life. In this year's NEA Big Read: Wichita book "Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?", author Roz Chast visits these difficult topics through humor and love as her parents near the end of their lives.
There are many aspects that we don’t want to discuss about aging and this journey we all go through at some point. At this Wichitalks we celebrate those stories.
Wichita icon Bonnie Bing is this year's emcee. Our lineup of speakers in order of appearance are:
Micala Gingrich Gaylord
Brie Kerschen
Anita Mendoza
Eric Litwiller
Casey Jones
Alexandra Simmons
Wakeelah Martinez
Joe Rodriguez
Susan Stover
Janet Federico
Carla Lee
Ellen Awe
