Since its first edition in 2002, Home Works solidified itself as the most important extended event dedicated to art and culture in Lebanon, if not the region. Launched and organized by Ashkal Alwan, The Lebanese Association for Plastic Arts, the multidisciplinary platform takes place every 2-3 years. We are proud to have been part of its original inception, setting up the basic identity scheme and designing the publications that compiled the works featured in the first three editions. The visual approach is bold and simple, and the publication design is considerate to the multiplicity of featured practices – exhibitions, lectures, panels, artists’ talks, screenings, workshops, publications, as well as theatre, dance and music performances – and to the necessity of a bilingual scenario for a local event with real international appeal.

Each Home Works publication is bilingual with two operational covers, with the Arabic and English sections, which flow in opposite directions, meeting at the center of the book.

Homeworks-Chapter breaks
The chapters in the books are divided by discipline, and the section breaks take on the main color of the year/edition.
-
Homeworks-English and Arabic pages
All pages in the book are faithfully reproduced in both languages down to the smallest detail.

Homeworks-Layout variations
The changing nature of each project and the many configurations of the featured works required a flexible grid and resulted in an array of layout variations.
