TEDxMet: The In-Between
TEDxMet brings TED talks to the Met with a broad range of stories and a variety of formats.
Among the presenters are: a former death row prisoner recently exonerated after serving 39 years in prison; a 14-year-old musical prodigy; a transgender author and activist; a leader in diabetes patient care, research and education; a New York City Ballet Principal Dancer; a community developer confronting issues of the environment, affordable housing, and education; a composer and a poet, both recent Pulitzer Prize winners; the author of a seminal article on growing up bi-racial; a performance group investigating contemporary issues theatrically; an art educator who galvanizes both traditional and non-traditional art-going audiences; visual artists and designers who examine the creative process; and curators with specialties at the two extremes of the art-historical timeline-the ancient world and today.
