In times when governments don't want to spend money on art anymore, but spend billions on bailing out banks, Amsterdam artist Dadara started his own bank -- the Exchanghibition Bank -- which issues banknotes of Zero, Million, and Infinite. Artist/banker Dadara has now embarked on a new journey guiding people on their Spiritual Path to Enlikement with his new project Like 4 Real, which was built and burned last September in the Nevada desert at the Burning Man Festival, and will rise like a phoenix from its ashes to become a theater play next year.

At TEDxGroningen, Dadara prompts us to question how challenging it is for us to actually be ourselves. 

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)
