SUMMARY:Final Draft
DESCRIPTION:This interesting-looking event by the Ripple Collective\, a group of multidisciplinary designers and design-led retailers based in Abu Dhabi\, has been running for four years now with little fanfare. It offers a day of “the things we love most: good people\, good design\, good ideas and the potential impact of putting them all together”. So it’s not your usual design festival\, either in scale or content; but it does look like a good chance to meet and share. It’s free (preregister here) and it will be a small group – which should be for the better\, providing opportunities to interact and engage. \nThere are a couple of concurrent sessions to chose from; note that some sessions have limited spaces and so need preregistration – we’ve indicated those. The schedule: \n12.00 – 12.50pm Slash Sessions: The Impossible Spaghetti\nA “fun and informative workshop” that “will work towards the impossible”: defining something that is simultaneously true and untrue … Slash\, incidentally\, is the strategic design studio at the heart of the Ripple Collective. RSVP here  \n1.00 – 1.50pm Base Session: Adventures in AI\nRipple folk talk about their design approach to AI and what happens when it goes wrong. A live build session will put it to the test. \n1.00 – 1.50pm Fount Workshop: Doll Lab\nA “messy but manageable creative session” inspired by Alexander Girard’s Vitra dolls\, scrap wood and colour to excite your inner child (and your actual child too if you want). Fount is a “curated concept store” that’s part of Ripple … RSVP here  \n1.00 – 2.50pm Sadu Workshop: Craft in Action\nAn introductory to traditional Emirati/Bedouin Sadu hand-weaving. RSVP here  \n2.00 – 2.50pm Talk: Shaikha Al Ketbi – Common Grounds\nVisual artist Al Ketbi unpacks her four years in Japan – how it inspired her art\, her work on the UAE Pavilion at the Osaka Expo\, what cross-cultural creativity means in practice \n3.00 – 3.50pm UncleNado’s Listening Lounge\nA session for your ears and your eyes: the connection between good music and good album cover design \n3.00 – 3.50pm Slash Sessions: Spill the Chai\nBrewing karak has more to say about who we are than you’d think. This workshop is a space to listen\, to brew\, and to leave with something that stays longer than the taste … RSVP here  \n4.00 – 4.50pm Talk: Mohamed Dardiri – The Design/Making Battle \nBringing design to life – the link between designing something and then actually making it \n4.00 – 4.50pm Fabrica Workshop: Block Printing with Muge\nMake prints\, print prints\, admire your prints (Fabrica is the industrial design and craftsmanship studio in the Ripple orbit). RSVP here  \n5.00 – 5.50pm Talk: Music meets Design with Pho & Teenage Engineering\nBehind the sound and design of Teenage Engineering\, “one of the world’s coolest audio brands” \n5.00 – 5.50pm Fabrica Workshop: Block Printing with Muge\nAnother session as above. RSVP here  \n6.00 – 6.30pm break \n6.30 – 7.15pm Talk: Is This Emirati? with Saleh (La Petite)\nA conversation on contemporary Emirati design\, the culture that inspires it\, the expression it takes and the magic needed to bring it to life \n7.20-8.00pm Main Talk: The Long Way Home with Nuno Abreu\nA talk from the main man of Slash\, the design studio at the heart of Ripple\, on building a contemporary design scene through scarcity\, beauty\, and the perspective gained from distance
