Lourd de Veyra is a new media artist and journalist. He is a four-time Palanca Awardee and the recipient of the Free Press Literary Award. His social commentaries are expressed and followed in his popular "Word of the Lourd" video series.
In this "Word of the Lourd" episode, especially created for and presented at TEDxDiliman, he seeks to answer that infuriating question: What role does art play in shaping society?"
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)
