Have Didge will Travel | David Hudson | TEDxJCUCairns

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. David Hudson has traveled the world as an entertainer. His experiences are very different from that of his mother's who had to apply for an exemption card to live away from a mission. David explains how a boy once classified by the Government as fauna, grew up and is now able to spread a positive message about Aboriginal culture, especially through his passion for the didgeridoo. David Hudson is an internationally renowned musician, singer/songwriter, artist and entertainer. His work comprises a combination of contemporary and traditional Aboriginal influences. David is a consultant for Indigenous and cultural projects. He is the co-founder of internationally renowned Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park and has been awarded the Centenary Medal for services to Aboriginal and Islander culture. He has also been awarded an Honorary Doctorate from James Cook University for services to Aboriginal and Islander culture and the arts. 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)
