In a world where the visible often overshadows the unseen, TEDxDugbe aspires to uncover the hidden layers of our collective experience. With the theme "Out of the Shadows," TEDxDugbe 2024 seeks to interrogate the obscure corners of human experience, bringing to limelight the extraordinary that lies beneath the surface. This theme encourages a deep dive into the narratives and innovations that, though often unseen, have a profound impact on our lives and our future.
At TEDxDugbe 2024, we are probing the unasked and the unanswered: What scientific explorations of the microscopic, underwater or outer space need to be rescued from obscurity? How do we uncover hidden algorithms operating behind the scenes and shaping our digital future, from social media feeds to financial markets? What cherished but lost voices and stories of our tradition must we revive, preserve and celebrate, and who are the artistic forces labouring to bring them to fore? How do we subdue the stigma of visible and invisible disabilities and the everyday struggles of the common man? What innovative solutions can we aspire to uncover to make the world safer and healthier to everyone? What personal stories of resilience and recovery must be spotlighted to inspire new triumphs? From academia to activism, from Kiriji to EndSARS, whose significant impact behind the scenes helps us shine new lights on the systemic inequalities that exist in our society in a way that inspires lasting change?
With the theme, "Out of the Shadows," TEDxDugbe 2024 invites us to illuminate the unseen and the unheard, bringing to light the hidden stories, discoveries, and innovations that shape our world. From the quiet genius of a scientist, to the unheralded work of an artist, and the resilient spirit of an individual, TEDxDugbe 2024 challenges us to explore the depths of human experience, uncovering the remarkable achievements and untold narratives that often go unnoticed. It is a celebration of the overlooked and the forgotten — an invitation to step beyond the obvious and explore the depths of human creativity, resilience, and discovery.
"Out of the Shadows" is a call to action, urging us to recognize the unseen, to listen to the unheard, and to bring to light the hidden forces that shape our world. At this festival of ideas, Ibadan’s boldest changemakers, thought leaders, culture shapers, creative geniuses, and brightest thinkers will step out of their shadows to converge, connect and consider new directions stemming from a richer appreciation for the beauty and intricate complexity of our world.
