Publications

Extending beyond exhibitions and public programmes, Design Doha publications trace the thinking, research, and practices that define design across the MENASA region.

From Arab Design Now 2024 to forthcoming titles, each publication captures a moment in the Biennial’s evolving constellation—foregrounding process, context, and the voices shaping contemporary design.

The Arab Design Now 2026 Catalogue launches during the Opening Days of Design Doha Biennial 2026, on 5 November 2026, followed by the Design Doha Biennial Publication in January 2027.
