Designer Kenya Hara visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Designing Design." This event took place on September 29, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.

Representing a new generation of designers in Japan, Kenya Hara pays tribute to his mentors, using long overlooked Japanese icons and images in much of his work. In Designing Design, he impresses upon the reader the importance of "emptiness" in both the visual and philosophical traditions of Japan, and its application to design, made visible by means of numerous examples from his own work: Hara for instance designed the opening and closing ceremony programs for the Nagano Winter Olympic Games 1998.

In 2001, he enrolled as a board member for the Japanese label MUJI and has considerably molded the identity of this successful corporation as communication and design advisor ever since. Kenya Hara, alongside Naoto Fukasawa one of the leading design personalities in Japan, has also called attention to himself with exhibitions such as "Re-Design: The Daily Products of the 21st Century" of 2000.

Kenya Hara (born 1958) is a graphic designer, Professor at the Art University Musashino and communication advisor for MUJI.

Thrust into the spotlight and aiming to become one of the world's most powerful people, it is hard to imagine that Barak Obama's roots lie in what can only be described as an extremely humble Kenyan village.
Here we meet the family members and characters that have served to shape Barak's early life. Mama Sara, Barak's grandmother, tells us "Barack is a son of this village. He's a very kind man. He loves development. He likes peace and he loves me." We also learn of the hopes and aspirations of the villagers, along with the future developments in Kenya that the senator may bring.

Amidst the mayhem of Kenya's post-election ethnic violence, one group of ethnically-mixed aspiring young journalists from Nairobi's Mathare slum decided to take up cameras instead of knives. Slum TV aimed to project some hope back into their scarred community. Africa Uncovered follows the team at Slum TV as they count down to a public screening and revisits some of the characters they filmed during the violence.

This short film features people in Kenya who have seen the price of staples such as maize, beans and oil soar in the last two years. Many families are now getting by on only one meal a day. In the film, one woman says that she often misses her meals altogether so she can feed her children.

Concern is responding to this crisis. In the Kerio Valley, we have successfully piloted a programme that uses mobile phone technology to give cash to the most vulnerable families so they can buy food. Marsabit and Kalacha we are working with partner agency Community Initiatives Facilitation and Assistance (Cifa) to help people manage the effects of drought.

Leading film-makers are seeking to change the way we think about other countries. This is one of a powerful series of films to be shown on Pangea Day, May 10, "the day the world comes together through film".

See all six anthems. Then visit http://www.pangeaday.org and register your screening for May 10. It's time to imagine a different world.

Here, set against the backdrops of Nairobi city and the beautiful landscape of Uhuru Park (Maasai country), a Kenyan choir sings the Indian national anthem.

The director has chosen the Indian anthem because Kenya is home to a sizeable Indian population (including Sikhs & Jains also) of approximately 2.5 million, most of them descendants of the East African Railways labourers who were brought over by the British during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the British colonialists ruled Kenya and the rest of the East African region.

Many residents in the impoverished Kenyan village of Nyang'oma Kogelo share a unique claim to fame. They're related to the man who may be America's first black president -- Barack Obama.

Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow reports from the Rift Valley region where ethnic violence continues despite mediation efforts. In the town of Naivasha, up to twenty people are thought to have been burned to death in their own homes. And in nearby Nakuru, at least 60 have died in the last few days.

Ever wondered what happens to your footwear after you're finished with it? This week's award-winning and startlingly original documentary traces the fantastic journey of Africa's most popular shoes: the flip-flop. Easily bought, quickly discarded, the flip-flop stands as a symbol of the summer holiday for millions of westerners. But in its African homeland, it undergoes a series of versatile transformations. Filmed over a two year period, this startling and uplifting film takes an ingenious look at the lifecycle of the flip-flop. It's especially noteworthy for the beauty of its photography and editing. We guarantee you will have never seen anything like it.

Barrack Obama's Historic Speech

In 1969, John Rendall and Ace Berg purchased a 35-pound lion cub who had been born in a zoo. They named the cub Christian, and raised him in their London home.

Within a year, Christian had grown to 185 lbs. Rendall and Berg realized they couldn't keep him much longer. But they didn't know what to do with him. A chance encounter with two actors from the film "Born Free" changed that.

The actors recommended George Adamson, a conservationist living in Kenya. Christian was sent to Africa where he was rehabilitated and released into the wild.

In 1974, Rendall and Berg decided to visit Christian one last time. He was now a wild animal. Adamson told them it was doubtful that Christian could be found. No one had seen him in nine months.

The two flew to Kenya, anyway. On the day they landed, Christian appeared outside Adamson's camp. Somehow, he knew. He waited outside the camp until Rendall and Berg arrived.

This video was taken during their reunion with Christian.

Amazing! But then, those of us who care for feral animals could have told you this would happen. :)
