Art has always been a mirror to life — sometimes reflecting it faithfully, sometimes refracting it through imagination, emotion, and experience. This year, TEDxAGBSKochi brings together voices from the vibrant worlds of film, music, and dance to explore the question: How do artists portray life? We often admire a performance, a film, or a melody without truly understanding the lived experiences, thoughts, and inner processes that brought them to life. Through this event, we open a window into the creative mind — uncovering what drives artistic expression in a world that’s constantly evolving. As storytelling itself changes form — from classical to contemporary, melodious to experimental — we ask: What influences these shifts? Is it changing audience tastes, new cultural realities, or the artist’s own journey? TEDxAGBSKochi invites you to witness conversations that are intimate, raw, and inspiring — from creators who have redefined their mediums and reshaped how we see the world through art.
