In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Tze Peng Lim

Lim Tze Peng, a self-taught artist and Cultural Medallion awardee, embodies the spirit of resilience and artistry. At 104 years old, he continues to paint daily, capturing the landscapes of a rapidly evolving Singapore with unmatched mastery in Chinese ink. Known for his depictions of post-independence Singapore, his work immortalizes the soul of Chinatown and the Singapore River before urban redevelopment reshaped the nation. His works have earned him the Special Prize at the Commonwealth Art Exhibition in England in 1977 and the prestigious Cultural Medallion in Singapore in 2003, making him one of Singapore’s living legends.
