Director and playwright Adong Judith creates provocative art that sparks dialogue on issues from LGBTQ rights to war crimes. In this quick but powerful talk, the TED Fellow details her work — including the play "Silent Voices," which brought victims of the Northern Ugandan war against Joseph Kony's rebel group together with political, religious and cultural leaders for transformative talks. "Listening to one another will not magically solve all problems," Judith says. "But it will give a chance to create avenues to start to work together to solve many of humanity's problems."

I don’t think people got the joke. In fact, I think they completely missed it.
It’s embarrassing.

Feminazis like you are introducing chemicals into the populaces’ water, thereby creating *GaY FroGs*
You can’t brainwash me BHenGaZi Brenda. I know your kind; Trump sees right through you.

Dimeadozentropteryx Gee you’re easy. Are you cheap too?
Brenda Rua
Took me about a second to recognize this as satire. How did you fail that badly?
Nah
Very nicely done. Thanks, TED.

Who Broke my Window? – it’s been noticed by a lot of People. Maybe Ted gets funds from Soros?
I like you girl:)
Upload the Gwynne shotwell talk!!!
it is simply not very good art she makes, not being racist or anything, just saying.
shes black therefor its raciss
Art is very subjective
Many “great” artists look terrible in my view. Though if you’re trying to state your opinions as a fact then thats a different issue
Using art to further your personal bias and the postmodernist agenda.
How do aesthetics have “agendas”? You gonna say that Monet had an agenda with his style?
Adong, you are incredible!!! To recognize the value of every human, to see that it takes everyone to heal divides…..Just Thank YOU and please keep doing it!!!!
Nice talk
dos she no de wey?
We wuz bridges n misunderstandingz
Anyone cares to explain what’s up with the dislike ratio and all those weird comments?
Madao recently TED has attracted a lot of trolls and when they see anything to do with Africa and/or Women they get pretty damn bigoted.
Its because this video is LibERaL PeDOpHiLe RiNG ProPagANda.
Dont fall victim to it!
Yeah, that’s what I don’t get. Is Givenchychy’s comment a joke or do they do this for the responses or what? I mean, there’s no way anyone will take it serious and it’s very unlikely that some will find it funny so what’s the point?
From what I get, there are the trolls that do it for amusement and those that try to influence the public opinion. None of this seems to be the case here.
Madao You are incorrect in your assumption* that people won’t take it seriously. And its funny solely due to the satirical nature.
Its humiliating to aggregate human intelligence that there are people who believe this.
Look at me I’m a good person because I make art to further my naive views lmao
Magnifique! Excellent ! Proud !
