For DesignMarch 2026, clothing designer Theo Ike presents Extinction Event: a special insight into the connection between prehistory and the future through the lens of garment design. It will take place at the Nordic House; surrounded by a swamp, where life emerged from some 400 million years ago.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Homo Sapiens have existed for less than 0.007% of the planet\u2019s existence – long enough to have altered the fossil record forever – but we behave like we have infinite resources. We know what we do cannot sustain us forever \u2013 yet we persist: innovating, designing, producing and destroying. We never stop to ask: what if one day we were the hunted, the fossils, the inferior species?<\/p>\n

Extinction Event touches on our obsession with the scientific process and the philosophical questions that science simply cannot answer. Attendees are taken on a journey through time as Theo sees it, exploring different garments and scenarios the further they delve.<\/p>\n

Throughout the week, attendees will have the chance to excavate lost garments from dig sites, as well as contributing to a time capsule for our future species. Some will also get the chance to design their own dinosaurs onto garments as a takeaway souvenir from the show.<\/p>\n

The presentation embodies Theo\u2019s wider philosophy of Global Affairs Design: that everything is more connected that we think. Species from 98 million years ago might have had the same instincts, desires, problems, intellect and obsessions that we do – we will just never know.<\/p>\n

Theo will also host a workshop\/guided tour on Sunday 10.05.26 from 11:00-16:00.<\/p>\n

Accessibility to Elissa (auditorium) is good. Accessible and gender neutral restrooms are on the same floor.\u00a0<\/em>More information on accessibility and opening hours can be found by\u00a0<\/em>clicking here.\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
