Al Journal Vol. 2 – Design and Resilience

 - Al Journal Vol. 2
The second volume of Al Journal by Liwan Design Studios and Labs, a collection of essays, articles, reviews, and visuals exploring contemporary design themes across the Southwest Asian and North African regions and beyond, focusing on the theme "Design and Resilience."
Featuring pioneering Qatari creatives, the journal connects local and global design voices and encourages collaboration and commentary on creative, cultural, and intellectual matters. Special guest-edited issues focus on semi-annual themes.
The central theme of this second edition is "Design and Resilience"—a look at how design can be a tool for empowerment, organisation, and self-assertion, and at how it can address today's local and global challenges, especially in conflict zones or environmental crises.
