| |  | | | | |  Melbourne Design Week invited participants to "design the world you want", and the creators, curators, makers and thinkers filling out this year's program – at the NGV and other sites across the city until April 5 – have all responded with gusto, probing the potential for material culture to radically alter our reality. For 'Future Inheritance' at Truce in Collingwood, art director Marsha Golemac called on 20 artists – including Jessica Murtagh, whose work is shown – to consider how value might one day be ascribed to objects that seem humdrum today, revealing the ways in which tokens and talismans can expose truths about our current moment long after it has passed. |  Furniture purveyor Cult is at the forefront in helping customers sustain, retain and maintain classic design, and its Melbourne Design Week exhibition 'Cultivated' is a fabulous journey through the life cycle of a piece. Statistics reveal Australians discard 800,000 sofas and 1.65 million dining tables yearly. The innovative Cultivated program was established in 2013 by Cult's founder, authenticity and sustainability activist Richard Munao, offering buy-back, refurbishment and recycling services for aged or end-of-life design. From rejuvenated mid-century chairs to reignited 1950s lighting, Cultivated plays an important role in the circular economy of authentic designer furniture – as shown in the retrospective and accompanying short film. | | | | |  Focusing on trailblazing women whose homes act as a canvas for their artistry, A Room of Her Own roams through Italian palazzos, New York apartments and a Mexican hacienda. Author and photographer Robyn Lea gained access to the private sanctums of 20 artists, writers, designers, jewellers and curators including Australian fashion designer and artist Heidi Middleton. Each abode is stylish and sophisticated and evokes its owner's rich inner stories. |  advertisement | | | |  To mark its 40th anniversary year, Cooee Art has opened a new gallery space and auction house in Sydney's Redfern that brings together major works by many of the country's most acclaimed First Nations artists. The luminaries represented in the inaugural group show – titled 'Cooee: Come Here' and on view until April 10 – include Yaritji Young, Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori, Vincent Namatjira and Freddie Timms, whose incredible map-like compositions trace the refuges of the Gidja people after brutal encounters with colonists, as in Killarney Bore (pictured). |  Intrigued by what's new and next? The very definition of luxury in a post-virus world is about to shift dramatically, says Australian-born, Paris-based trend expert Philip Fimmano of Edelkoort Inc. who will present his forecasts in a series of seminars to be held in Melbourne on April 8 and in Sydney on April 15. Co-hosted by David Clark, the Trend Union events will encompass new concepts in architecture, decorating, food, fashion, wellness and travel, including the colours and sustainable materials of tomorrow and the smaller, smarter spaces favoured by conscious clients. Tickets cost $295. | | | | | | This email has been sent to: aymentanaze.news@blogger.com | | | To unsubscribe or update your email subscription preferences, click the 'unsubscribe' button below:

OLIVER HOLT: The horror of relegation haunts Chris Ramsey just as it haunts every other manager who is scrambling and scrapping to try to escape it. But for Ramsey there is a wider fear, too. from Articles | Mail Online http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3075023/Chris-Ramsey-heat-relegation-QPR-mean-black-managers-Premier-League.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
Today, 790 million people — 11 percent of the world's population — live without access to clean water. Two years ago, XPrize , an international nonprofit organization, announced a global competition enticing innovators to find a sustainable and affordable way to bring potable water to those who aren't privileged enough to have it now. Skeptics told the competition organizers that it was impossible. Nearly 100 submissions later, and XPrize found precisely what they were looking for — entrepreneurs who could design a minimalistic device that could reliably extract 2,000 liters of water from the atmosphere per day for no more than two cents per liter all using 100 percent renewable energy.

The NHS, Britain's national health service, has launched into a long Twitter thread to explain why it's calling for more black people to donate blood. SEE ALSO: There's one major way to help the shooting victims if you're near Las Vegas right now Using celebrity GIFs and millennial slang, the Blood and Transplant social media team seemed to be trying to preemptively fend off possible allegations of racism while explaining that blood groups are more or less common in different ethnic groups: People from Black African and Black Caribbean ethnic backgrounds are also more likely to have the rare subgroup called Ro — about "ten times more likely than a white person," the NHS said .
