This exhibition displayed products created and designed by Disarming Design. Based in Ramallah, this design label and program unites Palestinian crafts communities with contemporary designers and artists from Palestine with Masters students from the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam to exchange knowledge, experiences and techniques. The products are sold locally and internationally, telling alternative stories and reflecting upon the function of creative practices in situations of conflict.
During a two-week long workshop held in September, a team of designers from Jordan, Palestine and the Netherlands collaborated with local craftswomen from Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan to create a series of products that speak of Palestine’s current social landscape.
