Promises of Progress: PPIE
Shaping San Francisco
Feb 25, 07:30PM – 09:30PM
Shaping San Francisco presents: On the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE), Gray Brechin and others discuss the relationship of world’s fairs to the idea of progress over time. How did the presentations at PPIE in their early 20th century context boost now long-held assumptions about progress and development through technological innovation and economic growth?
