TEDXUWCM – OXYMORON

On Saturday, 5 April, TEDx is coming to Lumière with TEDxUWCM – OXYMORON. An afternoon of inspiring talks exploring the power of paradoxes—how contradictions like chaos and order, strength and vulnerability challenge us, inspire us, and drive innovation.

Special: Event
Time & Tickets

These paradoxes don’t just coexist; they shape, challenge, and inspire us. This year, TEDx invites you to explore oxymorons—the power of duality, the beauty of contradiction, and the innovation born from opposing forces. By embracing paradox, we uncover new perspectives, challenge assumptions, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. How can contradiction fuel creativity and progress? What happens when we stop resisting paradox and start harnessing its power?
