Kochi, Kerala

In the fleeting shadow of obscurity lies the promise of rebirth and the cosmic dance of light and dark.In the theme of "Eclipse" , we explore the captivating interplay of Art and Innovation in our lives.

Much like the celestial event, eclipses, our personal journeys are marked by moments when the familiar gives way to the unknown. In these shadowy times, we discover hidden beauty, resilience, and transformation. Join us as we delve into the profound lessons that eclipses offer, revealing that even in our darkest hours, there is a chance for illumination and renewal with art and creativity.

Hence TEDxASADI would focus on speakers whose out-of-the-box ideas, thoughts and innovative solutions that are context-specific and locally relevant are critical for ensuring their success and sustainability. Such an approach takes into account the unique cultural, social, and environmental factors that shape a community's needs and challenges. We would also shortlist speakers who look into interesting solutions through AI, Bioinspiration, Architecture, Technology, Literature or Music and Art but also by engaging local communities in the design process that can help to create solutions that are not only effective but also equitable and inclusive. By involving the people who will be directly affected by a solution, we can ensure that their voices and perspectives are heard and that the solution addresses their specific needs and concerns.

So join us on a journey through the poetry of eclipses where hidden wonders and profound transformations await."
