In the two days workshop Script in Dialogue, an Iranian and an Israeli type designer, together with the participants, create an experimental space to explore the aesthetic and political power of Arabic and Hebrew typography.

Typefaces, which are often interpreted as symbols of conflict, are deliberately reinterpreted and transformed into visual forms of expression for dialogue, rapprochement and coexistence – and ultimately realised as individual works using screen or riso printing.

The pop up exhibition Form Follows Friendship in the WDC-Hub shows how design emerges when collaboration itself becomes the guiding principle. For the exhibition, six young designers from Germany and the Netherlands worked in three binational teams over several months on joint projects. Models were built, exchanged and further developed. Design emerged through iteration, dialogue and hands-on experimentation.

Form Follows Friendship is part of World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026, initiated by the German Design Council and the diplomatic network of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in cooperation with Creative Industries Fund NL and supported by Stiftung Deutsches Design Museum / Design Networking Hub.

Designer Diana Tayo Osobu invites participants to come together in interdisciplinary discussion formats to reflect on how design can continue to evolve in order to strengthen Europe as a leading design location.
Design is understood here as a decision-making tool: it helps structure complexity, provide orientation, and make sustainable solutions visible. Against the backdrop of current challenges facing the creative industries—such as design apps that increasingly replace traditional creative processes—new design skills take center stage. These encompass both craft and mindset, as well as the ability to meaningfully connect markets, technologies, and users.

The event will be held in German. Free entry.
