<P>Artist & architect, <STRONG>Abraham Burickson</STRONG>, has made a career creating two-day, immersive performances... for one-person audiences. The performances engage hundreds of artists, often times spans many states, & is witnessed by only their shockingly singular audience. To create the experiences -- transformative & all-encompassing -- Burickson & his company, Odyssey Works, begins with a fundamental provocation: all art & design -- from UX design to product design, architecture to graphics, copywriting to novel writing -- is<I>experience design</I>. What results is a radically different approach to creativity that forces audiences & creators into a deep, relational, & ultimately transformative embrace.</P>

<P><SPAN><SPAN><STRONG>Athena Diaconis</STRONG> is a researcher by training (and nature) who has a knack for deconstructing human behavior. Her interests in the last few years have gravitated toward democracy. <SPAN>Democracy has never been an easy experiment. It requires fastidious work, & constant vigilance to ensure its perpetuity. On the right, left, & middle, many feel our country has never been more divided. But is it possible that were on the brink of something far greater than we realize? Time will tell which way the wind goes, but never before have we had such a capacity to create a true, rich, multicultural democracy. From technology, to consciousness shifts, the U.S. has the capacity to become a beacon of political equality. Join us for an evening exploring the history of the phenomena known as democracy, unpacking truths of our humanity & our society, & hopefully, learning how to avoid turning our countrys political fate into the Handmaids Tale.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>

<P><STRONG>About TEDx = independently organized event</STRONG></P>
<P>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, TED Talks video & live speakers combine to spark deep discussion & connection. 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 & regulations.)</P>
