Introducing: Community In Conversation with Marwan Kaabour, founder of Takweer. Shu B'ad our brand new capsule collection is curated by Marwan Kaabour. The collection is a result of a collaboration among five Arab designers and artists: Walid Bouchouchi (Algeria), Farah Fayyad (Lebanon), Haitham Haddad (Palestine), Ahmad Hammoud (Egypt), and Marwan Kaabour (Lebanon). ⁠ ⁠ Arabic for “So Distant”, Shu B’ad is the title of a poem by Muhammad Alabdallah that addresses distance and longing. It was popularised in the midst of the Lebanese Civil War by musician Ahmad Kaabour. ⁠ ⁠ Wanting to celebrate their shared cultural heritage, each designer took a verse from the poem and visualised it in their signature style, making the collection both a poem and a song.⁠ ⁠ Head over to Everpress.com to shop the collection.
