Magician // Seth Raphael is doing what he loves: helping others achieve the impossible and blowing their minds. Growing up, Seth's passion for magic had to compete with his love of computers. At times, one threatened to eclipse the other as he alternatively wrote off magic as childish, and technology as soul less. He reconciled his two obsessions by embracing his inner child and putting some soul into technology. He remixed the profound underpinnings of magic with cutting edge technology in order to create wonder and inspire innovation. He makes Google read your mind and technology awake your inner child. At Hampshire College he studied the historical relationship of technology and magic, and he explored the emotion of wonder at the MIT Media Lab. Leaving awe and fantastic technologies in his wake, he went on to found X-Pollinate, a team of interdisciplinary innovators who help organizations all around the world come up with new solutions to impossible problems. // Seth Raphael is doing what he loves: helping others achieve the impossible and blowing their minds.

Health care innovator // Born in India to Indian Parents, I migrated to New York at the age of 5, and lived there until 2001. In 2001 I decided to move to, of all places , Karachi Pakistan to follow my dream of devoting full time to social development. Given that India and Pakistan are of course, supposedly enemies..., this seemed a bit strange to most at the time. Having had extensive contact with both over the years, I for one find more similarities than differences, and continue to hope and pray for an end to the senseless enmity soon. In terms of identity, I am global citizen of the human race, with a spiritual core. I've harbored a life long passion for wanting to make a difference in peoples lives, however without any real "grand plans". As life progresses, I find we have more power than most people realize, and that one person can make a tremendous difference by just doing something, anything, when faced with absolutely unbearable situations. I have been christened " a serial entrepreneur" by friends, as it seems that everytime I am faced with a serious social issue,I need to find a way to incorporate a Business based solution. Sehat First started as a result of exactly such a situation. I was in an very poor area on the outskirts of Karachi, and saw a small 3 year old child die in front of me. The child had had diarrhea, and due to a lack of medical facilities in the area, the mother did not know that the child could become dehydrated. The child died of something so preventable, simple dehydration. There had to be a way to prevent such senseless deaths! My other companies are similar efforts (one is for early childhood education, and the other in technology). I truly believe that we must find long term, self financing solutions for our global problems if our children are to have good and meaningful lives. // Born in India to Indian Parents, I migrated to New York at the age of 5, and lived there until 2001.

Artist // I would best describe myself as a diaspora artist with roots in Mumbai and New York. I was born in Kolkata to Bengali parents (mainly from former East Bengal), who settled first in the U.K. in the 60's and 70's and later, in Kuwait, in the Middle East. My father - an insatiable adventurer - decided in the prime of his middle age, to move his wife and four children to the United States for "a better life." It took me a while to realize what "a better life" meant. I spent close to a decade in the United States, attending Williams College in Massachusetts, and then Pratt Institute in New York for graduate studies. Inheriting my father's wild itch for adventure, I moved to India in 2006, to Kolkata and then, Mumbai. The back drop of my life, and to the multiple migrations, has been one protracted 'coming out' story, played out in variations in my work - which spans both abstraction and figuration. After a few years in India, working on the commercial side of the art business, I decided to change track and do what I really loved to do. The multiple narratives had started to explode inside of me, and I knew I wanted to live a creative life. I returned to making art full time in 2011, and in 2012, my professional debut solo exhibition of abstract paintings, 'hidden geographies,' in Mumbai was a runaway success. The exhibition consisted of large, densely painted meta-scapes with the recurring theme of submerged female sexuality. Many leading publications across India featured the exhibition, including Vogue, Grazia, Femina, Indian Express and Bombay Times. That same year, I was also awarded a commission by the Mont Blanc Young Artist Worldwide Patronage Collection & featured in India Today as one of India's leading diaspora artists. In 2013, I was shortlisted as Artist of the Year for the L'Oreal Paris Femina Women Awards, and I have an upcoming solo exhibition - Reflections + Transformations - at Aicon Gallery in New York. The new work extends visualities around gender and sexuality issues in India. This show will be followed by a solo exhibition at Galerie Steph in Singapore in January 2014. I am a TED Fellow from the Class of TEDIndia 2009 - and I unabashedly admit, TED changed my life! The process of finding my voice "to make a difference" has been a gradual unveiling. To be continued... // I am a visual artist with numerous solo and group shows around the world under my belt. The recipient of notable awards including the Joan Mitchell MFA Grant (2005), TED Fellowship (2009) and Montblanc Young Artist World Patronage (2012), I have worked on special art projects with leading institutions and corporates like Berklee College of Music, The Godrej Group, JSW and Mahindra & Mahindra. I am also an occasional arts writer and founder of the Bellevue Salons, a mobile cross-cultural salon that aims to augment participatory modes of engagement with contemporary culture in surprising new ways. Since the Salons inception in 2014, I have collaborated with a diverse plethora of cultural practitioners making original and experimental work with a focus on social justice in the field of gender and sexuality. I seek to construct multiple visual representations of queer consciousness, drawing upon my Buddhist practice and the study of unified Vedic consciousness, as well as the intersectional lived experiences of being queer, gender-fluid and the product of multiple geographies. I have been featured in, written for or interviewed by the Indian editions of Vogue, Elle, Femina, Grazia, Conde Nast Traveler, Forbes Life and major daily publications such as Times of India, Mint, DNA, Midday, Hindustan Times and others. Reviews of my work have appeared in Art India and Take on Art magazines. Currently, I am working out of a studio at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, New York City. www.sharmistharay.com // I am a visual artist with numerous solo and group shows around the world under my belt.

Global women empowerment activist // Dr. Sheila Ochugboju is in the Science and Innovation Directorate at African women of Essence International (AWEI), where she leads the initiative for the Global Women Inventors and Innovators Network (GWIIN). She is a member of Pan African Network of Emerging Leaders (PANEL UK), the alumni association of participants on the British Council InterAction Programme. She recently launched the African Science Cafes for the British Council at the Grahamstown Sasol SciFest. This network provides a creative model for public engagement with science and technology in South Africa, Kenya and Lesotho. This involves the launch of an innovation centre for African women, the Centre of Innovation, Enterprise and Technology (CIET) at Doregos Univerisity in Lagos, Nigeria.<br /><br />Her postdoctoral research at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology focused on genetically modified baculoviruses for pesticide control, which involved opportunities for engaging the public in the application of science for social and commercial benefits. This academic work led to Management Consultancy projects in international health and development in the UK. // So, my meandering journey back to Africa started in a moment of clarity whilst working as a research scientist in Oxford, studying viruses for biopesticides. That was with support from a network of women scientists as The Daphne Jackson Trust Fellow at the Institute of Virology and Environmental Microbiology (IVEM), at St Hilda’s College, Oxford. Whilst on several missions across Africa to ostensively “empower and encourage” girls to pursue careers in science and technology. As it turned out, these young girls were actually teaching and encouraging me more than I had the capacity to give them. So I decided to return to the continent to contribute to the transformation that was already under way. In the interlude, I was training with the Department of Arts Media & Sports (DCMS) to become a Creative Agent, bridging the gap between Arts and Science to develop projects such as Impact DanceScience – funded by the Wellcome Trust, where epigenetics was expressed through dance (Bharatanatyam – South Asian Dance Form). In 2009, I finally found my way back To Africa, working for Think Tanks connecting researchers and policymakers in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria on science, technology and economic transformation. In Kenya, in partnership with another TED Fellow Joshua Wanyama, we formed Africa Knows, a stock photography, knowledge management, and media consultancy. We also co-curate TEDxNairobi, the flagship TEDx event in Africa. In 2015, I was adopted by the government of Kisumu, Kenya, when I was appointed by as the Ambassador for Transformative Science & Urban Resilience. In 2017, I was received the Wings World Quest Women of Discovery Award for Humanity. // So, my meandering journey back to Africa started in a moment of clarity whilst working as a research scientist in Oxford, studying viruses for biopesticides.

Journalist + professor // Shereen El Feki is based in Cairo, where she works on issues related to health and social welfare in the Arab region. Half-Egyptian, half-Welsh, Shereen was brought up in Canada. She started her professional life in medical science, with a PhD in molecular immunology from the University of Cambridge, and later worked as Healthcare Correspondent at The Economist magazine. In recent years, however, Shereen has re-oriented her career towards the Arab world. While she has worked in regional media, as a presenter with the Al Jazeera Network, and continues to write on social issues in the Arab world, her passion lies in the many projects in which she is involved which aim to better understand, and surmount, the social challenges facing Arabs, particularly young people. // Shereen El Feki is based in Cairo, where she works on issues related to health and social welfare in the Arab region.

Shereen holds a B.Sc. from the University of Toronto, as well as an M.Phil in biochemistry and a Ph.D in molecular immunology from the University of Cambridge. // “If you really want to know a people, start by looking inside their bedrooms," says Shereen El Feki, who traveled through the Middle East for five years, talking to people about sex. While those conversations reflected rigid norms and deep repression, El Feki also discovered that sexual conservatism in the Arab world is a relatively new thing. She wonders: could a re-emergence of public dialogue lead to more satisfying, and safer, sex lives? // There is an epidemic of HIV, and with it an epidemic of bad laws -- laws that effectively criminalize being HIV positive. At the TEDxSummit in Doha, TED Fellow Shereen El Feki gives a forceful argument that these laws, based in stigma, are actually helping the disease spread. // Shereen El Feki shows how some Arab cultures are borrowing trademarks of Western pop culture -- music videos, comics, even Barbie -- and adding a culturally appropriate twist. The hybridized media shows how two civilizations, rather than dividing, can dovetail. // Shereen El Feki is based in Cairo, where she works on issues related to health and social welfare in the Arab region.
