ISLAMOPOLITAN - UNITED ARAB EMIRATES| @SUPERDESIGN SHOW

 

ISLAM+COSMOPOLITAN. CONVERSATION BETWEEN ISLAM AND DESIGN - COLLECTIVE

An initiative of Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq). Curated by Khalid Shafar and Giuseppe Moscatello.
The extraordinary exhibition Islamopolitan arrives from Sharjah, the small emirate to the east of Dubai that was chosen as Islamic Cultural Capital of 2014. Islamopolitan (Islam+Cosmopolitan) is a word coined for this exhibition, which sets out to examine multiculturalism and diversity as well as the need to respect the general context. An ironic approach encourages the local and the global in their philosophies and at the same time explores the tensions between the two worlds. The structure of work and daily life, religion, architecture, rituals and decoration have been interpreted in relation to the present day. Designers of twelve different nationalities present works that take a contemporary look at the rituals of an ancient culture, through the media of furniture, jewellery, photography, video, art, installations, objects, upholstery, carpets, fashion, ceramics and sound. Islamopolitan is a travelling exhibition making its first visit to Europe:
after Sharjah and Istanbul, it will be in Milan for Design Week and for the opening of Expo 2015, from 14 April to 14 May.
