Creativity can keep the world from falling apart | AFLO. the poet | TEDxBrighton

Through poetry, ALFO. explores a powerful question: can creativity keep the world from falling apart?

Blending spoken word with raw reflection, AFLO invites us into a lyrical journey through conflict, climate, culture and community. In a world that feels increasingly divided and uncertain, he makes a compelling case for art — not as a luxury, but as a tool for survival.

Drawing from personal experience and collective memory, AFLO shows how poetry can hold what politics cannot, say what headlines won’t, and build bridges where dialogue has broken down. This is more than a performance — it’s a call to reclaim creativity as a force for repair, resistance and radical hope. Spoken word artist, activist and academic who embraces creative expression to disrupt the status quo and inspire social change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
