ISSUE Project Room is partnering with TEDxFort Greene to present a series of TEDx salons culminating in a TEDx conference in June 2012. The second TEDxFortGreene Salon hosted at ISSUE Project Room will feature stories of creativity and innovation. Speakers include curator Ingrid LaFleur; bassist Melvin Gibbs, who will speak about his new work The DNA Project in which he uses DNA databases to reconstruct the roots of his family tree; Dr. Ben Dubin-Thaler, whose Cell Motion BioBus is a high-tech laboratory on wheels; and Elastic City founder Todd Shalom, who presents conceptual walks by artists throughout and outside of New York. Hors d’oeuvre and gourmet pizza by local chefs will be served, along with a wine and cognac tasting.
