DUBAI DESIGN WEEK’18
Programme Management
ABWAB - Between the Lines
Acting as a snapshot of design activity in the region, Abwab is re-modelled annually, responding to new blends of designers and an evolving creative landscape.
For the fourth edition, located at the centre of Dubai Design District (d3), Abwab hosted a collection of design experiences drawn from five communities in the Middle East; Amman, Beirut, Dubai (supported by Tashkeel), Eastern Provinces of Saudi Arabia (supported by Ithra) and Kuwait City. Two designers were invited from each place to collaborate and produce works situated in dedicated pavilions related to the theme: ‘Between the Lines’. These lines are physical and metaphorical, lines of territory, topography, the implied, and those in drawings or text.
