TED Salon: Brightline Initiative

• November 2020

Hay piezas significativas del mundo que literalmente no están en el mapa: están ausentes de las plataformas de mapas más utilizadas, como Google Street View, dejando a las comunidades desprovistas de servicios vitales y de ayuda humanitaria. En esta charla trotamundos, el fotógrafo Tawanda Kanhema nos lleva en su viaje para cartografiar 5000 kilómetros de zonas inexploradas en Zimbabue, Namibia y el norte de Canadá... y nos muestra cómo todos podemos contribuir a construir un mundo más conectado.
