through installations, exhibitions, and experiential displays.
Khadija
Al Bastaki, Senior Vice President of d3, part of TECOM Group, said,
“Creative industries fuel the economy while shaping identity and
culture. Dubai’s focus on nurturing creative communities has led to a
rich, multicultural design narrative that reflects the Emirate’s
ambitions. Dubai Design Week has played a crucial role in this over the
past decade, providing a platform that promotes local and international
talent while addressing global design themes like diversity,
sustainability, and belonging. We look forward to welcoming stakeholders
to this year’s programme, which includes the debut of ‘Editions’, in
strategic partnership with d3, shaping the future of Dubai’s creative
economy.”
Natasha Carella, Director of Dubai Design Week,
commented, “As we mark the 10th edition, we look forward to gathering
designers from around the world to exchange ideas and highlight the
positive impact of design. This year’s programme will focus on
sustainable practices, vernacular architecture from the region and the
wider global south, showcasing how creativity can address modern
challenges and shape our common future.”
Dr. Saeed Mubarak bin
Kharbash, CEO of the Arts and Literature Sector at Dubai Culture,
stated, “Design plays a key role in advancing innovation and shaping new
possibilities locally, regionally, and globally. As a UNESCO City of
Design, Dubai is committed to fostering an educational ecosystem that
promotes fresh ideas and creativity. Our continued support for Dubai
Design Week is part of our responsibility to the cultural and creative
industries in the emirate, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global
cultural centre, a hub for creativity, and a thriving space for talent.”
