SUMMARY:What Lies Beneath: Stories of Obscured Truths and Quiet Dangers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening that uncovers the dangers\, truths\, and meanings that often remain just out of sight. Through science\, art\, history\, and personal reflection\, this program invites you to look beneath the surface—at the hidden risks\, overlooked details\, and subtle forces that shape how we move through the world. \nYou’ll hear about efforts to detect threats earlier and more precisely\, alongside stories that explore how a simple shift in perspective can alter our understanding of safety\, meaning\, and connection. Whether buried in the ground\, embedded in memory\, or woven into the fabric of daily life\, the unseen has a profound impact on what we believe and how we act. \nCome discover how looking closer—and looking differently—can transform what we think we know about the world and our place within it. \nRefreshments & cocktails from 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery will be provided. \n$15 – General Admission\n$10 – Discounted Tickets for Students and Educators \nPurchase Tickets! \nThank you to our community partners Nevada Humanities & Atomic Museum\nand our beverage sponsor 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery. \n
