A Century-Old Letter: Will You Break the Seal? | Ivy | TEDxYuehai St Studio
来自广东潮汕的Ivy,家族的根基在这里。生活在一个传统的广东大家庭,Ivy对于广东的家族观念一直感悟颇深。偶然接触到侨批这一文化,发觉家族观念在其中有相当的体现,又因家中有部分华侨背景,有了初步兴趣。Ivy第一眼看到批封和信件就是单纯觉得好看,美。再看信上写的文字,就是一阵感叹侨民们不管在哪里都还真是顾家。侨批产生于民间,流转于民间,收藏于民间。如今,侨批虽已不再使用,它却承载了那段动荡年代的普通百姓的历史。当年侨民生活的艰辛与拼搏精神,存在在桥批的字里行间,它像一段段录像带,记录了每封家书背后的浓厚情感,每每令人感慨侨民的坚韧的生命力。Ivy想要让更多人了解侨批文化,了解那段历史,于是想要做“银信两地书”这个项目。也希望大家能多多加入我们! 来自广东潮汕的Ivy,家族的根基在这里。生活在一个传统的广东大家庭,Ivy对于广东的家族观念一直感悟颇深。偶然接触到侨批这一文化,发觉家族观念在其中有相当的体现,又因家中有部分华侨背景,有了初步兴趣。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 14:38Superhuman Intelligence: Meet AI with Our Deepest Humanity | Srinija Srinivasan | TEDxPaloAltoSalonNOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speaker’s personal views and understanding of consciousness, divinity, and artificial intelligence, which some viewers may find objectionable. 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.pdfSrinija Srinivasan explores how we can meet superhuman intelligence not with fear or rivalry, but with presence, values, and deep self-awareness. With clarity and curiosity, she invites us to reflect on the human qualities that no machine can replicate, and why nurturing them may be our greatest responsibility in the age of AI. Born in India and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, Srinija Srinivasan has followed a lifelong curiosity about consciousness, wondering from a young age what possibilities can arise from believing divinity is in ourselves and all around us. She studied artificial intelligence at Stanford and then worked at the Cyc Project, a large-scale AI effort to build an immense database of commonsense knowledge.In 1995, she joined Yahoo! as their fifth employee and self-titled Ontological Yahoo, where she continued over 15 years as Vice President, Editor-in-Chief. She simultaneously chaired the board of non-profit SFJAZZ, leading her to co-found Loove, a Brooklyn-based music venture exploring how commerce and technology can be guided by artistic values rather than letting our culture be led by market values.She has recently cofounded Jubilee College, a two-year school in Dunsmuir, CA where students will be equally rooted in physical work, rigorous liberal arts study, and contemplative practice.Srinija is a board member of the On Being Project and a former vice chair of Stanford University's Board of Trustees. She lives in Palo Alto, CA and Brooklyn, NY. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 12:50Museums must give back what they stole — here’s why | Dorota Blumczynska | TEDxWinnipegWhat does it mean to hold stolen history? Museum CEO Dorota delivers a powerful call for accountability and transformation within the cultural sector. Drawing from her experience at the Manitoba Museum, she exposes the legacy of colonialism that still lives in museum vaults—through artifacts taken without consent, displayed without context, and separated from the communities they belong to.With clarity and conviction, Dorota urges institutions to go beyond symbolic gestures: to return sacred objects, share authority with Indigenous communities, and become true allies in truth and reconciliation. This talk invites us to reimagine museums not as neutral spaces, but as platforms for justice, healing, and co-creation. Dorota Blumczynska, CEO of the Manitoba Museum and Vice-President of the Canadian Museums Association, advocates for museums as spaces of truth, reconciliation, and social justice. She shares her vision for transforming museums to foster healing and understanding.
