Fadi Zumot found his calling in the world of art, design, film and fashion at a very early age. His latest collaborations include an independent performance project called ‘Republic of the Body’, which sought, through design, to manifest bodies deemed unacceptable by society.
For Amman Design Week, Zumot is exhibiting an interactive sculpture entitle Public-Private. This sculpture invites the viewer to experience an audible transplant out of their bodies and into a fashion structure, externalizing what is within allows the wearer to experience this piece either as a soothing reminder of their heart rhythm, or as an uncomfortable vulnerability where the private is exposed.
Yara Hindawi is a graphic designer and illustrator, who has customized a variety of vinyl dolls for group exhibitions in Dubai. These days, she paints ghosts around the walls of Amman. These ghosts are the visualization of a hyperactive childish imagination, living in the reality of an adult. Having the chance to create her own 3D printed dolls is not just a realization of a dream for Hindawi. It is the chance to go even deeper into this world of a childish fantasy in a grown-up mind.
