Khoos Residency

A creative residency program that brings together artisans and designers to explore contemporary interpretations of palm tree heritage. Rooted in tradition with a forward-thinking approach, the program seeks to merge heritage with innovation. Over a 12-day residency, participants will engage in hands-on research, material experimentation, and collaborative creation.

The program aims to foster dialogue around cultural and creative exchange. With a cohort of 10 participants, the residency reimagines palm-based materials and weaving techniques across disciplines such as art, architecture, fashion, and design, contributing to broader discussions on sustainability and cultural identity.
