The 7th edition of Tanween returns with a number of exhibitions that celebrate design and innovation in different contexts, taking visitors on an interconnected journey through five unique spaces.
The journey begins with the Grad Expo, a space displaying the work of design and architecture graduates from around the world. We then pass through the second space, which displays the outcomes of a year's worth of Idea Lab’s projects, experiments and collaborations. Leading up to the third space, visitors will explore the final outcomes of the fifth edition of the Tanween Challenges design competition. In the fourth space, they will experience a world of immersive reality projects developed by the 2024 cohort of Creative Solutions — Ithra’s immersive design and storytelling residency. The journey concludes in the final space, which features a collection of works from professional designers and artists, highlighting the theme of “Failing Forward” in the design process.
