TEDxHamamatsuSalon vol.8

TEDxHamamatsu holds a smaller, easy-to-join event, TEDxHamamatsuSalon, several times a year to concentrate on community activities. We hope that through the small group and lively communicative atmosphere of the Salon events, participants will better understand our activities and the attractiveness of TED and TEDx.

Theme: Take in External Diversity

Hamamatsu is a local city in which people from various countries live. “Food culture” exists where people live. We would like to share, deepen, think, and spread the open-minded and interesting ideas with regards to food culture through watching some TED talks on diversities of foods and food culture.
And then we will eat dishes from several countries together.

I hope that this TEDxHamamatsuSalon event is something which makes you think of the connections with various food cultures in your daily life.

TEDxHamamatsuSalon vol.8 Main visual

To live is to eat. From babies to adults, everybody eats to live. Animals, fish, and even insects do the same. However, unfortunately not every child can eat enough to grow up when you look at the world as a whole. Both an abundance of food and extreme malnutrition coexist in this world.

We have designed the artwork for Salon vol.8 from silhouettes of food and food-related tools, hoping that it helps you think of your connections with food.
When it comes to food, happiness and problems seem to be intermingled.

We hope TEDxHamamatsuSalon vol.8 will provide you with an opportunity to think that ‘to live is to eat’ and help you recognize food-related matters in your everyday life.
