Driven by German Design
Driven by German Design curated by renowned museum director Prof. Dr. Martin Roth before his passing, it features numerous design objects loaned from some of Germany’s most significant cultural institutions such as the Vitra Design Museum, Neue Sammlung, Porsche Museum and Museum für Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt. The exhibition traces the development of German design over more than six decades, from the 1950’s to the present day and provides a glimpse into the future.

Exploring Expression by Fahad Al Obaidly
As an artist with multiple interests such as fashion design, film, drawing and installation, Fahad addresses issues of “identity crisis” in his work. His art reflects a state of instability due to the loss of personal identity resulting from the stagnant conformation of his environment. His perspective on this phenomena and his own experience in the contemporary and globalized society are the key drivers for his inspiration.
