Jenny Odell “Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock” (SFJAZZ)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

“What first appears to be a wish for more time may turn out to be just one part of a simple, yet vast, desire for autonomy, meaning, and purpose.” – Jenny Odell

Artist and writer Jenny Odell brings her acutely insightful observations to the dominant framework of time, based on industrial and colonial worldviews, that is embedded within our societies. Addressing the inability to reconcile the artificially constructed time pressures of modern culture with planetary-scale crisis, she offers a series of histories, concepts, and places as “provocations that can defamiliarize an old language of time, while pointing in the direction of something else.”

Tickets are bundled with a copy of the new book. Long Now Members purchase the book but get their usual complimentary tickets for the in-person event.

We’ll have a pre-show bar at SFJAZZ and additional copies of Odell’s new book for sale. Afterwards, attendees can gather at The Madrigal for further drinks and conversation. This evening is in partnership with The Booksmith and City Arts & Lectures.
