CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVES IN MIDDLE EASTERN CRAFTS Beirut Art Center 10th October - 3rd November 2012 With a concept that seeks to expand the vocabulary of traditional crafts, Carwan has commissioned designers from the Middle East and beyond to create a series of new, limited-edition objects in partnership with local artisans in the Middle East. Each designer’s project encapsulates the re-imagining of a distinct, time-honored craft, where the specialized technique of each artisan has formed the basis for the creation of a new object by the designer. This unique collaboration between artisan and designer highlights the richness of Middle Eastern craftsmanship as well as its capabilities for contemporary design. Photo credit: Tarek Moukaddem
