Igniting the Arab Creative Community: My Role as an Ambassador for Knowledge of Design
I am honored to share that I will represent the Knowledge of Design (KoD) event as an ambassador this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on November 23, 2024. Hosted by AlMashtal Creative Incubator, this event is more than a conference; it is a space where design meets science, technology, and the humanities, showing us how creativity can shape our world in unexpected ways. The program explores key themes such as STEAM-driven design, generational trends, and cultural narratives that influence creative solutions.
This event resonates with me personally because it aligns with the vision behind Kashidah, the initiative I founded to elevate Arabic content in the creative field. In Kashidah, our aim is to connect communities and explore new creative paths, which fits perfectly with KoD’s mission to build a thoughtful and inclusive design community. Together, these efforts highlight the value of bridging gaps and recognizing local talent, paving the way for the next generation of Arab designers and thinkers.
It is inspiring to see Saudi Arabia as a host for such significant events. The Kingdom’s commitment to nurturing creative industries has been remarkable, making it a central player in the global creative landscape. By supporting events such as KoD, Saudi shows its dedication to encouraging dialogue and creativity, setting the stage for even more meaningful ideas.
KoD offers more than just sessions and panels; it sparks conversations and invites collaboration. From thought-provoking keynotes to hands-on workshops, it brings together industry leaders and fresh voices all based in Saudi to exchange ideas and tackle real-world challenges. This is a place where creativity thrives and new perspectives are welcomed.
As an ambassador, I am excited to shed light on the importance of events like KoD in shaping the future of design in our region and beyond. I believe that by encouraging collaboration and building a strong network, we can reshape how Arab creativity is viewed at the global stage.
I invite everyone—students, professionals, and anyone curious about design—to join us in this special event. Let us come together, share our stories, and look ahead to new possibilities for our creative communities.
