Info
On June 30th TEDxPoznań invites you to the Aula Artis (Collegium Da Vinci, Kutrzeby 10) for the main TEDxPoznań conference in 2018! Together with our speakers we will ask a very important question – “Do we really have to…?”
Do we really have to live as others want us to? Do we really have to be afraid of ageing or worried about the changes in gender roles? Do we really have to succeed fast? Do we really have to work? Do we really have to be perfect?
The main theme comes from the spirit of contrariness and the willingness to deal with various beliefs about what we “should” do, or what “should be” done… in so many different fields of life! We want to broaden our perspectives, undermine the status quo and its “absolute truths”.

She has performed at festivals and concert halls around the world - Sydney Opera House, NCPA in Beijing, Rome Auditorium, Warsaw Autumn, Enter Enea Festival in Poznań and more.

During the TEDxPoznań conference Barbara will present the piano's possibilities by preparing the instrument and entering the sphere of microtones.
Krzysztof Story
Do we really have to... listen?
He cooperated with Gazeta Wyborcza, Tygodnik Powszechny, and Kontynenty magazine. In his previous life, he was a software developer, but later on his surname forced him to tell stories. For over 10 years, he has been travelling around the world, spending more time on the road than in place. While traveling, he is especially searching for the beauty of nature and interesting encounters. At the same time, he appreciates simple views through the window of the train. He often travels alone, recently choosing a bicycle as his main vehicle. He considers curiosity of the world his greatest value. He climbs, sails, and above all - listens and observes. His photos and stories are published at www.storyofalife.pl. At TEDxPoznań Krzysztof will talk about some of his trips. About the ones, which always start with silence. Together, we will ask ourselves - do we really have to... listen?
Katerina Kamprani
Do we really have to... design comfortable objects?
Katerina Kamprani studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens from where she received her diploma in 2006. In 2008 she started a postgraduate program in Design of Products and Interactive Systems at the University of Aegean in an attempt to redefine her career. Her studies in industrial design were never completed and one year later she started her personal project, The Uncomfortable. Balancing humor, art and design, Katerina analyzes and redesigns everyday objects in order to make them inconvenient. The Uncomfortable images are a steady viral phenomenon on the internet since 2013, while also appearing in magazines worldwide and in commercial ad campaigns. The images have been used as educational material to help explain terms of design to children and students alike. In 2017 The Uncomfortable objects were manufactured as prototypes for Katerina's first solo exhibition at Zagreb Design Week.<br /> On TEDxPoznań, she will try to answer the question ``do we really need to be comfortable?``.

Do we really have to buy so much and then throw it away? Can you have a compost bin at home? What can you do to reduce your environmental footprint? During her lecture, Kasia will explain that zero waste living is not an abstract concept, but a real option, available to all of us.
