Online Forward Festival Lectures
at Dezeen Virtual Design Festival
While Forward Festival is moving their date for the Vienna event to October 8th and 9th, 2020, there will be Online Forward Festival Lectures on April 17th in partnership with the Dezeen Virtual Design Festival.
For the originally planned festival dates, Forward Festival will partner with the Dezeen Virtual Design Festival which begins on April 15th. There will be selected talks from the Forward archives by Forward speakers including SNASK and Erik Spiekermann brought to your living room. The Forward talks will take place on Friday afternoon, 17th of April, and will be hosted on a specially created section of Dezeen. All talks will of course be free, with no registration or tickets required. More info on the program and running order will be announced via Forward Festival channels soon.
The festival’s motto for this year, „Digital Eyes“ (wordplaying with “digitalize”), which is now more relevant than ever before given the circumstances, will remain the same—together with the festival’s speakers and partners there will be discussions on new ways of working together digitally, overcoming hard times and the state of the “new normal.”
In addition, the application periods for the Forward Exchange Program and the current Moon Exhibition Lockdown Special, an initiative to open the platforms of Forward Festival for struggling creatives and help them out with a small contribution by Forward, will be extended.
