TED Fellow Zahra Al-Mahdi was raised by screens -- "storytelling machines" like TV and the internet that shaped her sense of self and reality.
Now a multimedia artist and filmmaker, she challenges common historical narratives and brings a multiplicity of perspectives to the surface.
In this dynamic talk, Al-Mahdi traces her development as a storyteller using satire, dark humor and tactile collage techniques to expand what we think we know about ourselves.
