Who am I -- identity, race, science & art | Bart Vargas | TEDxOmaha

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Artist Bart Vargas always wanted to know about his lineage but traditional methods failed him. Thanks to the falling cost of genetic testing and a new art fellowship, he finally got some answers - and some surprises.

Bart Vargas, from Bellevue, Nebraska, has exhibited nationally and internationally, and his work can be found in many collections throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. His works have also been featured in many publications including Sculpture magazine, New American Paintings, and HGTV Magazine. Vargas has received many awards including the 2012 Omaha Entertainment and Arts Award for Best Visual Artist.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
