TEDxBarcelonaWomen   –   IT’S ABOUT TIME!

Next October 28th, 2016 we celebrate our TEDxBarcelonaWomen event. A little great ode to women, these wonderful beings full of talent, ideas and passion. A celebration of the X chromosome that makes them different and able to achieve anything. In community, from Barcelona to the world.

Because… It’s about time!

Time for what?  Well, to listen to that half of the planet claiming its power, which rises, creates, initiates and challenges the status quo from the shadows. It’s time to unleash this incredible light and admire it together.

As Marianne Williamson said:  “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”.

Don´t miss an event full of women who have discovered that power, that light … who believed and who are already making a difference, empowering others, redefining what it means to be a woman. Join us and enjoy -from Barcelona- part of the conference TEDWomen 2016 San Francisco (ticket worth $ 3,500), plus inspiring live speakers and art exhibitions that will test your senses.

About the participants:

Belén Gaudes (Talk)

Advertiser from Madrid who left the big advertising agencies and the international brands world to co-found with her husband her own design and editorial studio, Cuatrotuercas. In this ideas factory they work for clients but also over projects that feed their soul, like Prepapà, a brand for the future fathers that aims to improve the co-responsibility from the very beginning; or Érase dos veces, a second chance for the traditional fairy tales, but with sexism, inequality and violence removed.

From 2011 she has been recording manifestations, assemblies and evictions, that she live streams. A declared feminist, she organizes Wikimujeres in Madrid to reduce the gender gap on Wikipedia and to make the historical contributions of so many women visible. Co-founder of 15M.cc, an initiative that explains the 15M throughout collective narrative.
