Chicago Humanities connects people to the ideas that shape our world, sparking lifelong curiosity about what it means to be human. Bringing global perspectives to Chicago, we elevate the city’s voice while sharing fresh cultural insights.
Our programming brings together leading thinkers from diverse fields to explore civic and cultural issues in creative ways. With events that blend art, science, technology, policy, literature, and more, we celebrate both global and local talent on Chicago’s stages.
We also foster community with opportunities for connection and conversation. This annual festival features multi-week programming across the city, from thought-provoking talks and screenings to performances.
This season’s top speakers include Kate McKinnon, Ketanji Brown Jackson, R.L. Stine, and Connie Chung.
