In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Amina Kadus

A visual artist based in Egypt, Ms. Amina Kadous has received her Bachelor in Fine Arts from Tufts University and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Her work tackles concepts of memory and identity. She believes in the ephemerality of experience. Nothing lasts, documentation of experiences, of the objects and moments of the physical world only lasts when it is passed on. She believes a photograph is an object that holds memories and meanings, keepsakes that give life. Photography as an art has been a medium allowing her to treasure, hold, and bless the past she has not lived but only through the stories and eyes of those who have narrated it. Her work is a linkage between the past and present through the layers of time as they fold and unfold. The exploration of time serves, for her, as a means for understanding who she is as a person. Characterizing herself as an explorer of ideas, she is driven by the spirit of inquiry as she seeks to comprehend the meanings and hidden ambiguities of lives, not her own, through the interactive nature of viewer, photographer, object, and environment. She is driven by experience as a woman and an Egyptian. Her work has been exhibited in London, Boston, Paris Mali, Italy, and The Netherlands. She exhibited as part of the Photography Biennale of the Contemporary Arab world at the Cite Des Arts in Paris. She participated in the 12th edition of the Bamako Biennale of Photography where she was awarded the Centre Soleil d’Afrique Prize for her project, “A Crack in the Memory of My Memory”. Her work was also exhibited at the AfriKa Museum in the Netherlands as part of the World Press group exhibition,“ Connecting views: Talents from the APJD ‘.
