Mixed Taste: K-Pop & the Keffiyeh

K-Pop & the Keffiyeh with Hyonjeong Kim Han & Marwan Shousher

Your favorite off-beat lecture series is back at the Holiday Theater! Mixed Taste returns another summer of mismatched magic, where serious topics meet some not-so-serious fun.

Each night, two speakers take the stage with back-to-back talks on completely unrelated topics. But the real magic happens when the audience steps in for the Q&A, finding unexpected connections no one saw coming.

Hosted by the inimitable Bobby LeFebre, with new speakers, poets, and mash-ups every week, Mixed Taste is the intellectual joyride you didn’t know you needed.

Wednesday nights at the Holiday Theater. Doors at 6 PM. Program at 7 PM. Drinks, snacks, and serendipity await.

Your Mixed Taste ticket includes admission to MCA Denver anytime before August 24. Simply show your confirmation email at the front desk of the museum.
