The hybrid programme spans three months from May-July, including a 10-day onsite workshop in Tasikmalaya in West Java, Indonesia. Participants will take part in various activities, ranging from group discussions, skill apprenticeships, crafter and designer studio visits, to prototype design and development. Participants will also be tasked with considering the challenge of responsible production using sustainable materials and waste management.
The chosen designers will work towards a product showcase at Indonesian Contemporary Art and Design (ICAD) during Jakarta Fashion Week, and an installation at the National Gallery of Indonesia. The two selected Qatari participants will join material designer Hana Surya and textile designer John Martono who will represent the Indonesian creative industries during this hybrid residency.
