Exhibition Design | 2021
Sadi
Sadu Art & Design Initiative (SADI) is a program envisioned by AlSadu Society to encourage creativity and innovation in contemporary textile arts and design. Started in 2016, every year, a collective of five emerging artists from various creative backgrounds are invited to take part in the program, and immerse themselves in the beauty and intricacies of Sadu weaving and design repertoire, researching its past, present, and future.
For Sadi’s fourth edition, Sadu House commissioned Nawar N. Al-Kazemi to design the exhibition space that featured the work of the program’s selected artists. Following the program’s theme of sustainability where participating artists were invited to create artworks that reflect their interpretations of the craft of Sadu weaving in relation to environmental sustainability, the exhibition space was designed to mimic the interior of a greenhouse, in the selected minimal colour palette, material, and design aesthetics, in attempts to subtly reiterate the program’s overarching theme.
