UAE’s thriving creative scene catapults Dubai Design Week onto a global stage,design,design week

In 2015, Dubai Design Week launched with the aim to make a mark on the design world. Four years on and it appears to have ignited an exciting cultural movement in the region, described by Rawan Kashkoush, head of programming at Dubai Design Week, as an ‘Arab design renaissance’. By its second edition, Dubai Design Week doubled in size and last year the city felt well and truly anointed as a new creative capital as locals celebrated the opening of the Jean Nouvel-designed Louvre Abu Dhabi and OMA’s first Dubai project on the hip Alserkal Avenue, Concrete art space.

 

It hasn’t stopped there. During this year’s event, the first contemporary art institution – Jameel Arts Centre – opens in Dubai, plus the Middle East gains a graphic design biennale inaugurating in the neighbouring Sharjah, and the D3 design district – just a developing project four years ago – now has 85 per cent occupancy. We scoured the 230-plus events at the fourth edition of Dubai Design Week to bring you the unmissable highlights...

 

Fikra Graphic Design Biennial

More than 20 countries have been invited for this inaugural graphic design event. The brainchild of Fikra, a graphic design studio and education platform, it is an opportunity for Middle Eastern practices to make an impact on the global graphic design scene through the exhibitions, performances, workshops and more. The old Bank of Sharjah is the location for the showcase, a 1970s modernist unused block that is transformed into a fictional and temporary ‘Ministry of Graphic Design’ by T. ZED Architects for the event.

 

‘I would like to think of it as un-defining graphic design – challenging preconceived ideas of the discipline but providing an unexpectedly broad array of graphic design works, concepts and initiatives,’ says Salem Al-Qassimi, founder of Fikra. The exhibition is divided into creative sections that reflect the hierarchal structures of a government including The Department of Mapping Margins and The Department of Dematerialising Language.
