Fascinating talk from Neequaye Dreph Dsane on how a series of events such as working for a housing association and teaching led to a transition from traditional graffiti to street portraiture after 10 years of being in a creative wilderness #TEDxTottenham2019 #ThePlaceWeMake

‘We need in every community a group of angelic troublemakers’ - a truly magical talk from @Art_Comes_First to close #TEDxTottenham2019. Sam & Shaka talked so passionately about their global village & how it brings together like minded individuals to express collective creativity

Councillor Joseph Ejiofor, leader of #Haringey council joins us for closing remarks. Great to have Joseph Ejiofor with us, talking of the broad & diverse tapestry in and around #Tottenham, & how it must be considered when making decisions about the local community #ThePlaceWeMake

Finally, a well deserved standing ovation for the founder of #TEDxTottenham Yaw Adansi-Pipim 🙌🏿 the passion behind #TEDxTottenham2019, & over the previous 5 years. How better to finish than with his words “we have the power to shape the type of community we want to be a part of"
