Ron Arad
Israeli-born Ron Arad is one of the most influential designers of the last 30 years. His instantly recognisable curvy "book worm" shelves and the Swarkowski crystal chandeliers that respond to text messages are just some of his designs which are a combination of playful forms and experiments with current technologies. As a retrospective of his work opens at New York's MoMA, Ron Arad discusses the way he works and where his ideas come from.

The Life of Agnes Varda
We review The Beaches of Agnes, a new documentary from and about the legendary French director Agnes Varda. The 81 year-old is a filmmaker, photographer and video artist and this film charts half a century of cinema through the prism of her own life including adventures in Hollywood in the 1960s and a prolific and influential career in France.

Cameroon Writing
We examine the state of anglophone literature in Cameroon today and asks how different it is from the francophone literature of the country.
