‘If 5×15’s packed soirees feel like an evening of offline, communal surfing, it’s due to the eclectic menu of speakers.’ – The New York Times
It features five stellar speakers, speaking for fifteen minutes each on a topic they are deeply passionate about. The only rules: the talk should be unscripted, and fifteen minutes long. 5×15 has hosted speakers such as Gloria Steinem, Ben Okri, Brian Eno, Malcom Gladwell, Eve Ensler and Ahdaf Soueif. Since 2014, Indian Summer Festival has hosted the only Canadian iteration of 5×15.
We return for the third edition in 2016 with an all star lineup including Oscar-nominated filmmaker Deepa Mehta on ’The Rasa Box’, psychology professor Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani on ‘The Psychology of Good and Evil’, award-winning playwright and novelist Carmen Aguirre and Toronto based writer and musician Vivek Shraya. The evening is hilariously and graciously hosted by comedian Kalyani Pandya.
Be a part of this crowd favourite at the Imperial Nightclub. Following the talk is our roaring closing party ’Tropitaal’ featuring a Desi/Latino soundclash. Stay for a dance and make it a night out!
