INDIANAPOLIS—Central Indiana residents are invited to attend a unique dining experience, as part of the Indiana Humanities Council’s Food for Thought initiative. The Council is partnering with IndyTalks to bring Hoosiers “Chew on This” on May 4 at various locations around the city. “Food is such an important and interesting topic,” said Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of the Indiana Humanities Council. “This event is designed to encourage conversation, build community and teach us something—all while dining on a wonderful meal.”
Part of the IndyTalks series, this one-night event encourages Hoosiers to think, read and talk with neighbors about Indianapolis’ food issues. Over dinner, a facilitator will lead a conversation about “From local to global: How can we use Indiana’s strengths in agriculture and artisan foods to position Indiana globally?” Each location will be limited to 20 people to encourage an intimate, yet fruitful conversation.
The Indiana Humanities Council connects people, opens minds and enriches lives by creating and facilitating programs that encourage people to think, read, talk and listen. As a convener, leader and partner, the Council promotes the public humanities and engages Indiana’s community of minds to create stronger, more vibrant communities.
