  • 'Who told you you couldn't draw ?' a talk on how to unlearn the learnt . When the first creative blocks are built, what happens when play is policed. How to be free, play and enjoy creative freedom of expression without consciousness. How I have become a play permission giver and learnt to be comfotable with the dark to truly be open to the light of happiness and build interactive art to help others find there lost play.
    Alex Box studied and exhibited as an installation artist before training to become a make-up artist, her main focus being on the relationship between bodies and the environment. As a make-up artist, she went on to explore this relationship, fusing art, science, nature and the magical for designers such as Gareth Pugh, Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Chanel. She is also a regular contributor to Vogue, Numéro, i-D, Dazed and Confused, AnOther Magazine and V. Alex is known for pushing and blurring the boundaries between technology, art, and commerce with both visionary digital collaborations and as the creative director and co-founder of cult cosmetics line Illamasqua, shaping and creating the brand's image and products from conception. "My work has always been about embracing new formats and emerging technology. Through my marriage of art and science there is an endless landscape of possibilities"
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Gosh, Alex is fabulous... the kind of person that makes you feel better about yourself... As a father it is such an important message to understand not to stop my kids from expressing themselves in their own manner... as opposed to expecting them to fit what I believe to be the societal norms. Thanks Alex...

    Wow she is amazing. She reminds me of how trapped we become everyday just aiming for perfection and hiding ourselves just to fit in and look normal and act normal which leads to suppressing our own thoughts and ideas. It's just weird how we do so much for the satisfaction and acceptance of others rather than ourselves. We spend more than half of our lives unhappy with ourselves which eventually leads to depression and negative self talk. The message that I got from her was to just love yourself, accept yourself and be free and not care about others have to say about you. Ahhh this was inspiring :')

    Thank you Alex. Gorgeous talk!
    My sister always got everything in blue. When a stylist friend told me 'these are your blues' as she handed me a palette, my brain shrieked "but blue is my sister's colour!!" As far as my brain was concerned, she owned blue.

    Outstanding talk. I wasn't that interested to begin with as I don't feel I am particularly artistic or thought of it much. But her insight on other levels such as the personal space a beautician has access to made my ears perk up. What an observant and instinctually inspiring woman.

    a very deep talk leading to sadness for me - being brought up more by my sister with a lot of "comforming" situations, then me becoming a very rigid architect who could NOT go far .. 😟😟😟
    never managed to UNcomform ..

    I wish she could articulate with words better rather than gestural movements so I could understand her more clearly. I like her message.

    Misleading video description. There is too much "me, me, me" in this video and not enough about learning to "unsee" things, learning to draw again....
