The exhibition is conceived by Alaa Tarabzouni, Aziz Jamal, Fahad bin Naif, and Dur Kattan, who have worked together in various capacities over the years. This collaboration brings together each of their distinct practices for an expansive design approach; one that questions, disrupts, and reimagines systems of access and distribution of water and our relationship with it. It emphasizes the delicate balance between technology, public policy, ethics, and human resilience in ensuring access to this vital resource. Their work exemplifies how design can both reflect and reshape the world around us.

Further details on the appointed multi-disciplinary design team and the full exhibition concept will be revealed in due course. Saudi Arabia’s participation in this edition of the Biennale signals a bold and exciting chapter in the country’s design journey – one that promises to leave a lasting impression.
