AMMAN – Two months separate us from the opening of the highly anticipated third edition of Amman Design Week titled Possibilities.
Possibilities will take over the capital in 3 different locations: Ras Al Ain, the Kabariti Village in Jabal Amman, and around Lweibdeh.
Today came the announcement of the main exhibitions in this year’s programme along with the names of the participating designers and entities in two of the major locations.
The heart of the capital in Ras Al Ain will host the Hangar Exhibition, the Student Exhibition and Future Food/Future City. While up the hill in Jabal Amman, the Crafts District will be hosted alongside the Material Innovation exhibition and the Jordan Script Routes at the Kabariti Village.
