Our year of mourning | Rainey Tisdale | TEDxBoston

What one curator learned from assembling an emotionally charged collection that defines Boston

Rainey Tisdale is an independent museum curator who works at the intersection of cities, objects, and creativity. She's spent the past year leading #BostonBetter, an effort by 25 Boston-area cultural institutions to provide public programming for the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
