Very Seen and Never Heard | Duke Harrison-Hunter | TEDxGosport

Duke Harrison-Hunter’s TEDx talk, “Very Seen, But Never Heard”, calls for a shift from tokenistic representation to genuine inclusion by emphasising that true visibility begins with listening and culminates in lasting change. Drawing on his background in community organising, storytelling, and cultural strategy, he highlights how marginalised voices—particularly youth—are often showcased but denied real agency in shaping narratives and decisions. Through lived experience and grassroots activism, Duke challenges institutions to move beyond performative gestures and create spaces where being seen is only the starting point and being heard and valued become the norm.
