Join us for the opening night of 2020 and the start of our seventh (!!) year in San Francisco with stories of history's bold and reckless:
Odd Salon is back to kick off year seven with six stories of audacious adventures, and dashing daredevils, risks taken, odds accepted, and badasses who made Danger their middle name:
ODD SALON FEARLESS
Tuesday, Feb 4 at Public Works, San Francisco
Curated by Isolde Honore
Featuring:
Josh Greenwalt ~ Saving Lives on the Front Line: Combat Medicine in History
You're at war, you are horribly wounded. You scream "Medic!" .... and luckily someone hears you. A short take on the long history of emergency medicine, battlefield medics, and hope under fire.
Christina Liu ~ Tenzing Norgay: Never Rest Until Everest
From yak herder to mountaineer to a living god? A man that was tested by avalanches, back breaking loads, death of colleagues, yetis and anything else the mountain had to throw at him. Come and learn about Tenzing Norgay the fearless man who never gave up on his dream on summiting Mount Everest.
Kyle Weaver ~ Toussaint Loverture: The Spark that Lit the Fire that Freed Saint-Domingue
One of history's greatest generals was a man of many contradictions, few friends, and subject to as many betrayals as can fit into a salon. Not a perfect man but a fearless one, Toussaint Loverture sparked a legacy of rebellion that would span centuries and nations.
Gillian Wolfe ~ Roxcy Bolton takes on Sexism in Hurricane Nomenclature
Top secret military codes, the feminization (and then weaponization) of weather systems, some vocabulary problems, and how Roxcy Bolton changed everything.
reigh robitaille ~ Donaldina Cameron: White Devil vs. City of Sin
From damsel in distress to knight in shining armor: this is the story of Chinatown's sexual slave trade, a fierce angel's determination to save them, and hundreds of brave girls who risked their own safety for the freedom of others.
Leonard Apeltsin ~ Caravaggio: Murderous Thug & Artistic Genius
Michelangelo Caravaggio lived a violent life: boozing, stabbing and brawling in the filthy streets of Rome. Yet, his brutal passions drove him to produce some of the greatest artworks of the 17th century.
Curated by Isolde Honore

-WHAT: Six storytellers bring strange-but-true stories from history, science, art and adventure, to the stage, over cocktails.
-WHAT KINDS OF STORIES: Badasses and crackpots, history's worst ideas and most interesting eccentrics, things that exploded, heists, hoaxes, hidden treasures, epic explorations and upsetting animal facts. For example.
-WHO: Experts and amateurs, scientists and poets, musicians and medievalists, artists, tech workers, baristas, and you. Each salon features selected speakers from an open call for submissions. Join us!
-WHERE: Public Works, on Erie Street - one block from the 16th and Mission BART stop.
-WHEN: We open the doors for cocktails and conversations at 6:30; talks begin at 7:30. Get there early if you want to nab a seat.
-WHY: San Francisco deserves weird, independent events, and real world gatherings in this increasingly digital age.
-HOW: Against many odds.
-SNACKS? Yes! Pop-up food vendors serve snacks during cocktail hour.
-DRINKS? But of course.
-OTHER QUESTIONS? Drop us a line>
Odd Salon is a fiscally sponsored project of the InterCulture Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization.
