Al Journal Vol. 2

Al Journal Vol. 2 - ‘Resilience and Design’ is about how different art and design media, such as film, music, photography, food, and fashion, can represent resilience. And how design can be a tool for empowerment, organisation, and self-assertion, especially in conflict zones or environmental crises.
