A new bi-monthly event at Urban ReThink combines diverse and interesting minds, colliding to discuss creative solutions to our community’s challenges - with a twist.
collide•scope is a collaborative, thought-provoking event meant to begin an interesting, intellectual (but not exclusive) discourse among individuals from diverse backgrounds. Every other month, we’ll have at least three individuals of various diverse backgrounds collide (or rather, come together).
This month’s selected participants are I.S.K. Reeves, V, F.A.I.A. of Architects Design Group, Sarah Blacksher of Lure Design and Mighk Wilson of the Florida Bicycle Association.
One week prior, they will be given a challenge to consider and present on the date of the event. Given the limited timeline and direct challenge, it will be interesting to see what these creative minds develop and how they present their collaborative approach. The group can decide to present in any means they wish, be it audience participation, an item they create and bring to the event, a spontaneous creation of song, a panel discussion with questions, a parade, etc. Anything is possible!
Each challenge will address an issue that is mainly social in nature, and will focus on our community, but can be adjusted to a broader (even global) scope in its presentation. The challenge will be announced at the beginning of each corresponding event. These events are not meant to solve issues within one week’s time, but to open an interesting, informed, creative and honest dialogue. It is also meant to promote a more healthy, vibrant and liveable community, and to bring together people who might not have otherwise met or collaborated. (This includes both the selected participants and the individuals who join in as audience members.) Perhaps a spark will ignite in the mind of a visitor who will help to continue the project, or create something new based on an idea within it.
The event is free for members and a $5 donation for non-members.
Urban ReThink is a creative and collaborative hub located in Orlando’s historic Thornton Park. By day, enterprising professionals in diverse fields from the arts to technology work here.
