the art of contradiction. ​​


​THIS YEARS THEME

OXYMORON

We live in a world that craves certainty—clear answers, defined identities, and structured realities. Yet, the most profound truths emerge from contradiction. Light and darkness. Chaos and order. Strength and vulnerability. These paradoxes don’t just coexist; they shape, challenge, and inspire us.

This year, TEDx invites you to explore oxymorons—the power of duality, the beauty of contradiction, and the innovation born from opposing forces. By embracing paradox, we uncover new perspectives, challenge assumptions, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

How can contradiction fuel creativity and progress? What happens when we stop resisting paradox and start harnessing its power?
