Welcome to another Tuesday with TED. Today we’re watching conceptual artist Hetain Patel who asks: how do we decide who we are? Patel’s surprising performance, Be Like Water, plays with identity, language, and accent — and challenges you to think deeper than surface appearances. A delightful meditation on self, with performer Yuyu Rau, and inspired by Bruce Lee.
In his compelling stage works, Patel uses storytelling, photography, sculpture, installation, dance, and performance to examine and challenge questions of culture and identity. Don’t miss this!
What did you think about Be Like Water? Did it surprise you? Make you think? How might you use other mediums to enhance your artistic vision?
Until next time,
Cynthia Patton
