The talk approaches design from two angles, the first being historical and theoretical, in which the contributors will discuss Palestinian design and its political employment in relation to global design movements. It will also examine the concepts of design and printing and their implementation and politics in the Palestinian context, beginning with the Palestinian revolution and arriving at the present day. The discussion will explore the production and means of distribution of political content, especially during the first Intifada, detailing the consequences meted out by the occupation for the production and dissemination of such content. 

This brings us to design today. What type of material is being designed? How does the design movement reflect socio-political and cultural reality? How is Palestine produced and re-produced in today’s design practices? Is Palestine present in these practices?
