With the work The Political Atlas of Alibaba, Maxime Benvenuto shows the contrast of the migration of people and shipping goods, especially regarding one of the biggest Chinese webshop: Alibaba. The artwork shows, among others, thorough research on Jack Ma's diplomatic meetings, priorities, and features in the news.

The Political Atlas of Alibaba was part of the exhibition Geo-Design, Alibaba: From here to your home.

On June 9 2021, ACED organised Designalism: Design + Journalism, a live talk show about the intersection of design and journalism. Watch the full show on our YouTube channel. This evening was in collaboration with Beeld en Geluid Den Haag.
