Amman Design Week 2019: Possibilities

OPEN CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

1 dec 2018
11 feb 2019

In 2019‭, ‬we are looking at design as a catalyst for‭ ‬dreaming‭; ‬the act of leaving behind what is, and reimagining what could be.

Possibilities‭ ‬is a celebration of the fictional‭, ‬incomplete‭, ‬and unresolved‭. ‬It invites storytelling‭; ‬narrations by the makers through the act‭ ‬of making‭. ‬We invite designers on a journey of self-awareness and discovery‭; one that is more about asking questions than finding the answers‭. ‬

The future is makeable‭, ‬so what are the possibilities‭?‬

Deadline for Submission: 10 February 2019
