TEDxBoston - Lewis Morris, Ekua Holmes, Judith Anderson & Sabrina Dorsainvil - Community Driven July 14, 2011

Favorite:

"We could have designed this van in a garage over the weekend, but we wanted to take the time to listen to our neighbors and get it right. We were dreaming and creating together."

Ekua Holmes, Judith Anderson, Sabrina Dorsainvil, and Lewis Morris of Massachusetts College of Art and Design describe their journey in designing the ArtMobile, a multi-purpose vehicle that is uniting a mult-ethnic neighborhood through interactive art, collaboration and the simple yet enormously powerful notion of what it means to be a good neighbor.

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)
