Jeddah, April 24 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – The Diriyah Biennale Foundation will host the MADE Design Forum from May 1 to 4 at the Islamic Arts Biennale Cultural Program building, located in the Western Hajj Terminal at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.

The forum is set to become a dynamic platform for dialogue, craftsmanship, and contemporary design, bringing together designers, artists, architects, and makers from across the Arab world and international creative sectors. Over four days, participants will explore disciplines ranging from product design and architecture to traditional crafts.

In addition to panel discussions and programming, the forum will feature a curated market, providing visitors with the opportunity to directly engage with creators and view or purchase distinctive works.
