Developed by M7, Zwara is a fluid programme that seeks to spark creativity and collaboration against the backdrop of Qatar’s creative landscape, showcasing the importance of storytelling, and experimentation in design.
Centered on the dynamic interplay between the unique characteristics of diverse design products and the collaborative essence of design, this exhibition broadly explores the transition from research to finished creation. In-depth, the storyline delves into the introspective web of exchange and communal exploration that defines the Zwara programme's fourth edition. Held annually, the Zwara programme serves as a legacy of carrying forward the narrative of previous exhibitions.
This exhibition assembles research notes, sketches, material samples, and physical models, revealing the fundamental essence of the programme's collaborative ecosystem and ethos.
