Dana Awartani creates geometric patterns rooted in traditional Islamic and Arab art and architecture, with a deep connection to cultural memory and preservation.
In our Community Workshop we’ve put out gridded paper, compasses and rulers so you can have a go at designing and repeating your own geometric patterns. You can find inspiration by looking outside our windows, buildings, or natural forms that hold personal meaning for you.
Things to think about:
What spaces – past or present -have shaped who you are?
Could the shapes, patterns, or textures from those places appear in your design?
Check out The Story of How it is Made card for tips and ideas to help you get started!
