Take back the street: street art creates moments of wonder | Tristan Pollock | TEDxFargo

Cities are growing faster now than ever before. Grey, uninspiring space plagues our urban core. How do we change this? In his talk, Tristan Pollock -- artist, co-founder of Storefront, and Entrepreneur in Residence at 500 Startups -- shows us urban movements, street art, and other moments of wonder. Then he shows us how we can take back our voice in the urban dialogue.

Tristan is an Entrepreneur in Residence at 500 Startups, the world's most active micro VC, and empowering the most creative people in the world as co-founder of Storefront.

His last startup, SocialEarth, the Huffington Post for social entrepreneurship, had over 200 contributors in 25 countries, and won multiple awards for impact journalism. SocialEarth was acquired by 3BL Media in 2012. Tristan has also been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2015, been interviewed by NBC, Fox, and The Atlantic, and led national marketing campaigns at Best Buy, including crafting the most read email of all time reaching over 23 million customers.
