Innovating Design With Bedouin Traditions | Abeer Seikaly
In this second live podcast recording at Design Doha, we sat down with Abeer Seikaly, a Jordanian-Palestinian architect whose work rethinks and innovates "shelter" while entering indigenous Bedouin practices. We talk about bringing Bedouin tradition and heritage into contemporary design, fabric architecture, materiality and structure, and how she considers the notion of "shelter" a social and cultural practice.
Abeer Seikaly is a Jordanian-Palestinian interdisciplinary thinker and maker, who works across architecture, design, fine art, and cultural production. She draws inspiration from traditional knowledge in the Arab homeland and views her practice as a social technology for cultural empowerment. Her recent works center around indigenous Bedouin practices to recover the intimacy of handmaking. She travels to Jordan’s Badia [desert], where she engages in Bedouin women’s craftsmanship of textile weaving.
