Graffiti is not the problem | Omen | TEDxConcordia

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Enjoying life as a world traveller and experimental dreamer has taught Omen many aspects of creativity that cannot be contained within a classroom. He still remains true to his roots and wields aerosol cans with the expressive power of an oil painter. Omen is an artist that is no longer considered a vandal. The art scene evolved around him to absorb the notorious aspect of his art and aknowledge the beauty of art in the streets . About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
