Desarming Design Participants discussing during workshop and symposium Pianofabriek Brussels 56 October 2023 c Stijn Swinnen

This reflective afternoon (13:00 — 15:00) with Disarming Design from Palestine* centres on developing infrastructures for solidarity through design. The session “Unpacking Notions and Building Threads” invites participants to collectively come to terms with words and statements for a ‘Fair Glossary,’ which delves into design infrastructures, language, and practices of solidarity.

*Disarming Design was part of Kunsthal Gent’s development programme the past half year, more info here.

Ghent march for Gaza

Afterwards we join the Ghent March for Gaza, a new solidarity march through the historic centre of Ghent.

After more than 8 months of genocide and ongoing violence in Gaza and the West Bank, we must continue to raise our voices. We call for an end to genocide and demand action from our governments!

• Where: Ghent, under the Stadshal (Poeljemarkt)
• When: Saturday 22 June, 15:00

Organised by the Ghent Coalition for Palestine.

Disarming Design From Palestine

Disarming Design from Palestine (DDFP) is an independent non-profit platform. It performs as a design label and fosters thought-provoking and disarming designs from Palestine. With a focus on artisanal products created in conscious and integrated ways, the items speak of the reality they are manufactured in. Often rooted in a story or incident encountered in day-to-day life across occupied Palestine, the designs perform as cultural objects and conversation starters in homes, exhibitions, symposia, academia, media and other places of learning.

Based in Belgium, they resist the dehumanisation of Palestinians and center Palestinian voices to amplify them. How can design contribute to international solidarity and justice for the Palestinian struggle for liberation and self-determination?

Sulaiman Saleh is a communicator and researcher with a focus on international and intercultural communication. He was a lecturer at Jonkoping University (Sweden), teaching students in Media and Communication, and Global studies. Born in Gaza, studied in Malaysia, worked in Sweden, and currently based in Belgium, he is an active member of Cinema Maximiliaan and works as a coordinator for Disarming Design.

Annelys Devet is a Belgium-based designer, researcher, educator and the co-founder of the thought-provoking design label Disarming Design from Palestine. Devet currently holds a position as PhD researcher at ARIA (Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts) where she conducts a practice-based study on participative design approaches that engage in social and political struggles.

Curatorial Studies

Curatorial Studies is an intensive one-year postgraduate programme covering key positions, legacies, ideas, and debates important to the curatorial. By drawing on the expertise of a broad network of cultural practitioners and institutions, the course aims to facilitate an environment in which a multiplicity of perspectives and critical discourses can thrive. Established in 1999, the programme is the result of a collaboration between KASK & Conservatorium/School of Arts of HOGENT and Howest, Ghent University, S.M.A.K. – the contemporary art museum in Ghent, and Kunsthal Gent.
