In 2001, BOMB expanded our long-standing practice of matching significant cultural figures in conversation to produce an ongoing series of live interviews.
BOMBLive! events are always free and open to the public. The series is made possible with invaluable support from the Department of Cultural Affairs and the Thanksgiving Fund.
