Yes, a mask can be revealing | Petar Raicevic | TEDxPodgorica

Petar opens up the taboo topic of violence among young people. However, with family support and self-belief we are on the right track if we stick to the things we truly love to do. This is the story of a young person who, despite a challenging and non-supportive environment in childhood, managed to find who he really is through body art. Usually, people have to take off their masks to get to know themselves. This is not the case here. Sometimes we need a mask to find out who we are. This multimedia artist is 20 years old. At the age of 3, he first drew a wolf that looked quite realistic, and that's when he realized his artistic streak. Petar started painting from paper to canvas, from canvas to the wall... From the wall to the body. Body art is a type of art in which Petar creates miracles with a brush and body paints. In February 2020, he created the first Face/Body art performance show in the region. In addition to body art, he is engaged in singing, acting, and dancing. As such, he is the first artist in our region who approaches show business in this way. He has been a volunteer and civic activist since childhood, participating in numerous humanitarian actions, cleaning actions, etc. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
