Shaping and Crafting the Future Residency
Shaping and Crafting the Future residency presented a compelling vision of design that brings together innovation, environmental respect, and creative reuse, while celebrating imaginative exploration. Reflecting the plurality of contemporary design practices, the residency emphasised sustainable and responsible solutions, echoing the philosophy of Antidesign. The program unfolded in two distinct phases: the first focused on learning, and the second on applying the skills and insights gained. This residency was an international partnership between Liwan and Campus MaNa in Burgundy, France.

Designers: Aia Zaina, Haya Abu Al Saad, Reema Abu Hassan, Bashair Al Khulaifi
