Jonathan Katz, Executive Producer of "Altered State" Exhibit at California Academy of Sciences to Speak at Colloquium May 30 in Berkeley

Jonathan Katz, CEO of Cinnabar Inc. and executive producer of the "Altered State" exhibit on climate change for the new California Academy of Sciences, will speak to the museum/academic community about risk-taking at the May 30 Risk and Reality colloquium organized by Dr. Susan Spero of John F. Kennedy University in San Francisco.

The colloquium runs 10:00 a.m. to 3.30 p.m., at the JFKU Berkeley campus, 2956 San Pablo Avenue. Attendance is free to JFKU students, faculty and staff, $15 for alumni, and $30 for the general public. Katz's presentation, "Seven Rules of Risk," will examine the nature of creative risk and provide specific tools for its successful mitigation. "Taking creative risks is an integral part of developing exhibits that raise vital social and political issues," says Katz. "Instead of trying to avoid risk, which in the museum community is all too often the typical response, we need to learn to embrace risk..." Full announcement here.
