Untold RVA - 5 Things: Social Innovators' Edition | Free Egunfemi | TEDxYouth@RVA

Free Egunfemi is dedicated to telling the stories of her ancestors and the stories of Richmond, Virginia’s history that sometimes go untold. In her talk, she asks you to join her in the conspiracy of good people. Let’s play 5 Things: Social Innovators Edition with Free. In 2013, Free Egunfemi founded Untold RVA: the people's choice for the creative advancement of Richmond's most powerful self determination narratives, hidden in plain sight throughout our city's historical urban landscape. Untold RVA’s mission is to reclaim deliberately submerged public history and present it as guerilla street art installations that strategically interrupt Richmond’s commemorative landscape. Free works collaboratively across sectors to inspire an increased sense of cultural citizenship and belonging made possible by weaving in elements of creative placemaking, tactical urbanism, community design, public media and archival activism. Free Egunfemi is an independent historical strategist and founder of Untold RVA: The people’s choice for the creative advancement of Richmond’s most powerful Self Determination narratives, hidden in plain sight throughout our city’s historical urban landscape. Untold RVA was founded in 2013 as the winner of a democratically elected local startup competition. Since then, Free collaborates with the academia, public media, public art and community design sectors to introduce these Self Determination narratives into the historical record. As an influencer, Free points out how the accomplishments of Richmond’s ancestral freedom fighters have been deliberately submerged for generations through biased preservation methods. Untold RVA interrupts these systemic inequities with tactical urbanism installations that are highly visible yet work in harmony with the existing urban landscape. 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
