Kateřina Šedá is an acclaimed Czech artist. In 2000-2005 she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts at professor Vladimír Kokolia´s Graphics II Studio. In 2005 she received the Jindřich Chalupecký Award and in the following years she exhibited at the Renaissance Society in Chicago (2008), the Mori Museum in Tokyo (2010) or in Tate Modern in London (2011), among others. In her projects, which she often undertakes in the surroundings of her hometown (in small villages or on a city's peripheries), she attempts to bring the local people together. Through their own (provoked) activities and thanks to the non-traditional use of everyday means, she attempts to evoke a permanent change in their behaviour.

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.
