TEDx Cooks Hill

11/09/2024

You may have noticed some stunning new artwork and videos in our TEDxCooksHill social feed. We are so fortunate to have the support of Michael Wanjohi as our Art Partner for the upcoming 2024 event.

Michael describes himself as ‘your friendly neighbourhood art director and design wizard’. He’s worked with big brands and won industry awards - the man is a creative magician. He also tells us he is about ‘pushing boundaries’, which just seems like such a perfect fit for our event.

We would like to pass on our gratitude to Michael for supporting our event this year, bringing something special to Newcastle.
