Fiction is truth sold as lies | Aekta Khubchandani | TEDxBocconiUMumbai

Aekta believes in changing the world through the power of fiction and storytelling, one poem at a time. Fiction gives us a way out of reality, something that not just entertains, but also gives us hope. In this talk, Aekta through her poem, "I Tried to Look Like Ma," illustrates how fiction is nothing but the truth sold as a set of lies to spread awareness, to reach out, to give hope, or even block out the bad guys. Aekta is a writer and illustrator whose short fiction and poetry has been featured on various local magazines and social media pages. Her short fiction entry has been longlisted for Toto Awards (2018) for Creative Writng in English by TFA (Toto Funds the Arts). She is also a spoken word poet and has been featured by Airplane Poetry Movement (APM), Why Indian Men Rape (WIMR), Campus Diaries and Ithaka- St. Xavier’s Lit Fest. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
