Curator Aric Chen and designer Thomas Thwaites will discuss their work in the second part of our Virtual Design Festival collaboration with The World Around for Earth Day, which also features short films by Kalyanee Mam and Apichatpong Weerasthakul.

The World Around's Earth Day 2020 symposium, which we are broadcasting today as part of Virtual Design Festival, features talks, presentations, films and essays by over twenty visionaries at the forefront of ecological design.

The second session starts with a conversation between Malika Leiper and filmmaker, who will screen her short film Lost World. Set in Cambodia, it tells the story of land being sold and exported from under her feet.

This is followed by a conversation between Mariana Pestana, curator of the 2020 Istanbul Design Biennial, and Alessandra Covini and Giovanni Bellotti of Rotterdam-based Studio Ossidiana, who will discuss their work at the intersection of architecture, visual arts and design.

Shanghai curator Aric Chen then gives us an insight into his State of Extremes at the Design Museum Holon in Holon, Israel, which had to close due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Chen also speaks to designer and writer Thomas Thwaites, who wrote a book about living on all fours with prosthetic limbs as a goat (pictured top), about the ages of extremes we are currently living through.

The session ends with a new short film by Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasthakul, who also reflects with his friend Andrea Lissoni on his newfound relationship with his home
