[Partnership Event] Reading the Burn: Stories of Distance, Discovery, and Aftermath

Curiosity Lab by DRI

Nevada Humanities continues its partnership with the Desert Research Institute on Curiosity Lab by DRI — a series of events in Reno and Las Vegas that brings together storytellers from science, the humanities, and the arts to illuminate our shared connection to the state of Nevada.

Join us for an evening that examines what destruction leaves behind—both visible and hidden, offering new insights into how landscapes transform long after the flames are gone. Complementing this scientific perspective, storytellers from the arts and humanities will share reflections on loss, renewal, and the unexpected forms of resilience that emerge from destruction. Together, these voices invite you to look more closely at the marks left by fire—and the stories they ignite.

Refreshments and cocktails from 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery will be provided.
