Khatt Chronicles: Stories on Design from the Arab World
04/12/24 • 29 min
The Khatt Chronicles podcast is back in a third season! Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFarès moderates a conversation between the hosts of Season 3. The discussion addressed the several topics and themes that are planned for this season. Huda begins by briefly introducing the hosts – Roshanak Keyghobadi, Yasmine Nachabe Taan, Yara Khoury Nammour, and Fawzi Rahal. The season will expand to include Iranian designers and will focus on women from the Southwest Asia and North Africa region in general. It will also expand the conversation to other fields of specialization related to graphic design practice (including digital media and calligraphy). The discussion delves into the importance of archiving and publishing on design from the region, and how the interviews and choices of guests will work to expand this discussion and support educational programs. The idea is to widen the broad reach and topics of the podcast, and the team at Khatt Chronicles is very excited to share these developments with you.

07/14/22 • 29 min
Huda AbiFarès interviews Karim Farah about his graphic design and Arabic lettering work. The interview explores the potential of music in Karim’s development of his unique visual language in which he questions the aesthetics of the Kufi style, abstracting it to extract a specific meaning out of compositions, while pushing the legibility of the letters as far they can go before losing recognizabilty, and challenging the reader to ‘read’ them as form and not as linguistic signs.

***** About Khatt Chronicles *****
Khatt Chronicles podcast features remarkable designers, illustrators, and researchers from the Arab World. We host engaging conversations about their practice, vision, and aspirations. In line with the rest of the Khatt foundation projects, focuses on new developments with Arab typography and design. By Arab, we mean people working with the Arabic language, script, and audience, who are not necessarily Arabs. These initiatives are dedicated to the younger generation as an alternative medium. It also focuses on the younger generations of designers to fulfill three primary objectives:
1. Promote designers in the Arab World to the region and the rest of the world.
2. Continue the mission of Khatt foundation as a network between designers to support fostering and exploring new ideas.
3. Present these podcasts for inspiration and educational reasons.
The podcast is an ongoing platform covering design initiatives and developments around the world. Our aim is to identify and highlight designers from the Arab World that have made meaningful contributions in their fields or have demonstrated excellence in design.
Through storytelling, the Khatt Chronicles podcast will get you to know the designers on a personal level, and get to learn about how they think, and what makes them tick.
Khatt Chronicles podcast is in collaboration with afikra.
