While cheese may be something we eat without a second thought, in this talk, Dylan compare our lives with cheese, and that despite it's unique flavours and ways of creation, we too are like cheese. We all have different representations of ourselves and the potential to become something "delicious". With a passion for creation ingrained in him since childhood, Dylan Sheen, a grade 12 student at Old Scona Academic, has been drawn (quite literally) into the realms of art and design. Throughout his life, he has expressed this passion through various mediums in art, literature and cuisine. Yet, beyond these artistic pursuits he contemplates the intricacies of the human condition and his own place in the world. In his upcoming TEDx talk, Dylan aims to explore the interconnectedness of humanity through a lens familiar to his personal journey and growth, showcasing the profound ways in which simple elements of life can serve as poignant metaphors for the human experience.

What if vulnerability wasn’t a weakness, but a gateway to healing? In his TEDxCalle Aldama talk, The Healing Experience of Collective Vulnerability, Angelo Musco explores the profound power of shared human experiences. Through his intricate, large-scale art—built from thousands of individual stories and bodies—he reveals how embracing our scars, both physical and emotional, can lead to deep connection, transformation, and collective strength. Angelo’s work challenges us to see vulnerability not as something to hide, but as a force that unites and heals. His talk is a moving testament to the idea that when we share our truths, we don’t just heal ourselves—we heal together. Musco’s work delves into themes of birth, confinement, and natural architecture, using the human body as a central symbol. His pieces often evoke forms like eggs, nests, and amniotic fluid, drawing inspiration from the organic structures found in nature. His large-scale works translate these ideas into both physical installations and striking photographic compositions. Based in New York, Musco stages his art across the globe, from major cities like London, Paris, and Berlin, to vibrant cultural hubs in Buenos Aires and beyond. His work is part of major collections and has been exhibited in public venues worldwide, including prestigious platforms like Art Basel and the Venice Biennale, where his evocative explorations of the natural world and human form continue to captivate audiences.
