The Hang Theory. A lecture series by Hang Dallas.One speaker. One big idea. One good room.Where · 2700 SWISS Event Space.Peter Simek spent nearly two decades as arts editor at D Magazine, a position that placed him at the center of how Dallas understood its own cultural life. He wrote the reviews, assigned the features, and decided which artists, galleries, and performances would be introduced to the city's readers. That role carried real power: to shape taste, to confer legitimacy, to determine who got seen and who didn't. This talk examines that process from the inside, how a publication's editorial choices become a city's received wisdom, and what gets lost when one institution holds that much influence over a region's cultural conversation.How the night goesDoors at 6:30 PM. Grab a drink, claim a seat, settle in.Peter takes the floor at 7:00 PM.Questions from the room near 7:45 PM.Then we linger. Meet the speaker, meet each other, around 8:00 PM.Out by 8:30 PM.
