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.

- 13:14Discipline Algorithms to Control Your Focus | Ali Flifli | TEDxUniversity Hassan II of CasablancaIn this talk, Ali Flifli aimed to build a cognitive bridge between the past and the present — between the fast algorithms of Artificial Intelligence and the timeless spiritual “stations” of self-purification.His reflection was inspired by the writings of Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali, who, more than nine centuries ago, outlined profound steps for purifying and disciplining the self. He revisited his ideas through a contemporary lens — one that helps us face the overwhelming flood of digital distractions that define our modern world.Through this approach, he sought to highlight the integration between Islamic sciences and human sciences, showing how the wisdom of our scientific heritage can offer practical tools to strengthen focus and self-discipline in an age ruled by fast algorithms. Ali Flifli is a researcher based at Hassan II University of Casablanca. Currently pursuing a PhD in Islamic Studies, he combines rigorous academic research with active public engagement, bridging the gap between scholarly inquiry and community outreach.

- 15:11You Don't Get What You Deserve, You Get What You Ask For | Pratham Jindal | TEDxPURC LudhianaThrough humour, honesty, and hard-earned lessons, Pratham Jindal reveals the psychology behind why most people never ask for what they want — and how breaking through the Wall (fear), the Fog (assumption), and the Mirror (ego) can unlock life-changing opportunities.This talk isn’t just about business. It’s about courage, communication, and confidence — and how a single question can open doors you never thought possible. Without investors, family wealth, or venture capital, Pratham Jindal scaled Praper Media into a 75+ employee company. His experience in bootstrapping a business makes him a role model for self-made entrepreneurs. His story isn’t just about success—it’s about exponential growth. In just a few years, he scaled from earning INR 7,000 per month to running an 8-figure agency, proving the power of persistence and smart execution. Coming from Goniana, Punjab—a place with limited opportunities—he overcame infrastructure challenges, including poor internet, and no industry exposure, to build an international company. His story challenges societal norms and inspires young minds to think beyond the conventional.
