Background
The DEWAN Festival is an annual symposium of contemporary dancers and performing artists in Wadi Rum, Jordan reflecting on the question of how to survive as artists in a context that is suffering from polarity between militarized regimes verses the fundamentalist religious movement and a youth bulge stepping for­ward with very limited opportunities?

We were commissioned to develop their logo and a visual concept for the festival publication. As the meeting is all about creativity we decided to leave the cover blank and had all typographic elements produced as stamps. All participants were able to design their own covers.
