| 'make me dance, cats' at design dispatch . 2023 |
here's a newly commissioned artwork for a group show i'm happy to be a part of – 'design dispatch', curated by möbius design studio, is a themed exhibition on the power of the graphic t-shirt, and how the graphic tee can be a tool for communicating messages, expressions and enabling conversations. the exhibition is inspired by research on the graphic t-shirt by egyptian illustrator and graphic designer mohieddine ellabbad.
as someone who's gotten multiple comments on the t-shirts i wear (and is also a collector of graphic tees), i was really happy to be invited to be a part of this show. my contribution was a fun illustration on my love for dance, and cats! and it's also a little wink to (arabic) dancing cat memes that are in abundance online. given the current state of the news from around the world, i hope this brings a little smile on peoples faces.
the entire exhibition is quite fun, so if you're in or around abu dhabi, please make sure to head to manarat al saadiyat to check out the show in person. the exhibited t-shirts are gigantic, so be prepared! 'design dispatch' runs from 12 december 2023 to 23 february 2024. for more information on the exhibition, click here. lastly, thank you to möbius design studio for having me on board.
