Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] So that's what I do. I wanted to show what I do. I am Isus Santo. I'm a banana artist, educator and founder of the Bhana Foundation. When you hear the word, tell me what comes to your mind. Um, a classical art form bound by strict rules or rigid precision. Bharatyam is definitely all of that but a lot lot bigger too. For meaty is imagination made visible. It is a limitless canvas of creativity. Creativity embodied. Bhagan ...

[Applause] I'm sure you all have heard of the generic phrase, every year time just seems to fly faster and faster. And it's true. As kids, the feeling of boredom is very prominent as the days stretch on and we only as busy as kids could get. It was as if we had all the time in the world. But then we grow up and we're tossed into this busy vibrant world and suddenly time moves too fast and we often forget about a childhood that we once cherished. So why do I bring this up? Well, first off, what do you think ...

[Music] [Applause] When I was six, in sixth grade, I used to make my own t-shirts. No digital tools. Everything was very, very manual.I had papers, scissors, ink. I would press the design onto the plain shirt and then just leave it under the sun for a few hours. Why.Because I believe the sunlight made it last longer. Everything was so manual back then. But looking back now, those t-shirts weren't just clothes for me.They were one of my early masterpieces. Not because they were perfect, but because I made th ...

[Muzică] M am născut în epoca greșită. Când eram copil, aveam capul atât de îmbuibat de cărți de aventură încât practic imaginația mea a luat razna de fiecare dată și tot timpul trebuia să fac ceva mai mult și î imagineam cum sunt eu exploratorul ăla care umblă și face și umblă prin lume. Bineînțeles că călătoria fizică atunci nu prea puteai s o faci și mi am dat seama că explorările geografice trecute de mult nu mai sunt aici și trebuia să găsesc altceva. Cred că știți cartea asta, nu? Cine n o știe, poate ...

What an incredible event this has been so far. The amazing speakers that have been up on this stage. It makes me so grateful to be alive in this time, this era that we're in. access to knowledge, resources, opportunities. They're at the tips of our fingers. It has never been easier to start a hobby, to do a DIY project, or even launch a business. Which is why I'm here today. Because as somebody who's never had a nine-to-five job or gone to college, I was told I was throwing my life away. And yet by 18 years ...

La voce di chi racconta storie ci porta nell’altrove, ci sottrae al buio, ci apre al tutto possibile, ci allena alla vita. Le storie non sono un posto in cui nascondersi, ma un posto in cui cercare insieme. Perdere tempo nelle storie è ritrovare spazio di ascolto, di incanto, di scoperta. Rito felice è il tempo dei corpi che si ritrovano in presenza, nel c'era e non c'era. Qui sguardi che ascoltano, pause che si gonfiano di attesa e stupore, visione dell'invisibile. Siamo fatti di storie, serbatoi di memori ...
