Curatorial Statement
“Irthi’s “Design Labs”, much like art residencies, allow for an exchange of crafts, design, and knowledge between international or regional designers and Bidwa artisans and trainees under the creative direction of Irthi. The designers bring in new production techniques and crafts into the Bidwa Centre, while the Bidwa Centre offers the space and productive capacity of Emirati artisans and trainees for collaboration and product manifestation.”
