Dare forma al pensiero fotografico | Franco Pagetti | TEDxPolicoro
La fotografia diventa il mezzo per mostrare una realtà senza veli.
Lo sguardo di "uno dei fotografi di guerra più esperti e rispettati della sua generazione", come riporta il The New York Times, è irresistibilmente attratto dall’umano e dall’ordinario.
Le sue foto sono precise e prive di sentimentalismi, proprio come la chimica che un tempo insegnava.
La sua esperienza nelle zone di guerra influenza profondamente il suo approccio alla fotografia, rendendolo un testimone unico e sensibile della realtà contemporanea. Nato a Varese nel 1950. Studi di chimica, insegnamento universitario.1985 la svolta: dalle molecole alle immagini.Il New York Times lo ha definito “uno dei fotografi di guerra più esperti e rispettati della sua generazione”.Ex membro di VII Photo, ora parte della VII Foundation.Dal 2003 al 2008 è residente in Iraq per TIME. Ha vissuto il conflitto dall’interno, raccontando la guerra senza filtri.Accanto alla guerra, la moda. Ha firmato campagne per Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Nespresso, Barilla, San Pellegrino e Lancome. Sempre con lo stesso approccio: verità, empatia, rigore.Quando D&G lo scelse per raccontare Napoli, non volevano il glamour. Volevano la verità. Lo sguardo crudo, forgiato nei conflitti, ha portato il neorealismo nella moda.Ha lavorato nei luoghi più estremi: Africa, Iraq, Svalbard, campi profughi, backstage di sfilate. Sempre con lo stesso obiettivo: raccontare l’umano.Diretto, empatico, senza sentimentalismi, il suo sguardo non cambia: l’umanità al centro di tutto.Come la chimica che un tempo insegnava.

- 10:51Bringing Back Music Lost for 2,500 Years | Tharun Sekar | TEDxElliots BeachWhat does music from 2,500 years ago sound like? Until recently, no one knew.Tarun Sekar, shares how a simple question "Why do we only see Western instruments , where are our own ancient Indian instruments ?"led him on an obsessive journey to resurrect the Yazh, an ancient Tamil harp lost to history for over two millennia. With no working instrument to study, no recordings to guide him, and only fragments of poetry from Sangam literature, Tarun spent a year piecing together clues from ancient texts. His curiosity refused to let him quit & he succeeded in bringing back a sound unlike any Guitar or Veena, a voice from India's forgotten musical past coming alive again. Tarun proves that small curiosities can unbury centuries of silence. His work challenges us to ask: What melodies & wisdom from our own heritage are we ignoring? Can Entrepreneurship be our way to explore our world & build what matters?

- 11:35Creating an empathetic approach to children’s behavior | David Palmer | TEDxFullertonNOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speaker’s personal approach to and understanding of the nervous system and emotional regulation. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfWhen a child lashes out, what if it isn’t defiance—but survival? In this powerful TEDx talk, veteran educator David explores how children’s “misbehavior” often hides a single question: Am I safe with you? Drawing on neuroscience and decades of experience, he introduces the CALM method—Center, Affirm, Lead, Meet—as a roadmap for connection instead of control. His message is clear: when adults choose calm over chaos, we don’t just change behavior—we transform lives. If you’d like to contact Dr. David A. Palmer directly, please visit www.drdavidapalmer.comDr. David A. Palmer, Ed.D., is an educator with over 30 years of experience in classroom and school administration, as well as the father of six adopted neurodivergent children. Through his trauma-informed, nervous-system-centered approach, he empowers overwhelmed parents and teachers to shift from compliance to connection, transforming the way we respond to fostering emotional regulation and resilience in children and teens.
