Khatt Chronicles podcast features remarkable designers, illustrators and researchers from the Arab World. We host engaging conversations about their practice, vision, and aspirations.
In line with the Khatt foundation projects, the Khatt Chronicles podcast features design initiatives and developments from around the world, focusing on new developments in Arabic typography and design. Khatt Chronicles podcasts are addressed to the younger generation as an alternative medium.
They aim to fulfill three primary objectives:
1. Promote designers in the Arab World to the region and the rest of the world.
2. Continue the mission of Khatt foundation as a network between designers by supporting, fostering and exploring new ideas.
3. Present these podcasts for inspiration and educational reasons.
4. Identify and highlight designers from the Arab World that have made meaningful contributions in their fields or have demonstrated excellence in design.
Through storytelling, the Khatt Chronicles podcast presents a more personal access to the featured designers, and allows listeners to learn about how they think, and what makes them tick.
