Liwan Design Studios and Labs is set to organise an open day on Sunday to explore the latest experiences of multidisciplinary design, as well as innovative research projects state-wide embraced by Liwan. The open day offers the opportunity for public to visit the exhibitions organised by members of the innovative community in Qatar and react to the multidisciplinary designers, as well as creative entrepreneurs and artists, among them the Dutch-Moroccan fashion designer, courtier, Mohamed Benchellal, who won numerous awards.
During the Open Day, Benchellal will discuss his upcoming exhibition at National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ), that will showcase couture dresses designed and produced during his residency at Liwan. The exhibition aims to spotlight not only the designer and his creations but also Arab design, as well as regional support and collaboration. His studio will be open to visitors, and he will be present to comment on his work and experiences.

With our members and residents in attendance, this is an opportunity for creatives across Qatar to come together to connect, exchange ideas, attend talks and workshops, showcase their work, and experiment with design."
