Our New Reality: Challenges and Creative Opportunities 2022

About the Award Theme

The second edition of Al-Hourani Award for Arts and Design continues the vision and mission of Al-Ahliyya Amman University and the Faculty of Architecture and Design in supporting students and graduates, enhancing creativity and innovation, spreading artistic culture within the social framework, and supporting the energy and potential of young people in this field.

The 2022 edition of the award was launched under the title: “Our New Reality: Challenges and Creative Opportunities.” It aims to understand the new reality imposed by the pandemic on the world and to explore creative opportunities that develop our knowledge and technical skills while keeping pace with the rapid changes that took place during the previous two years.

This theme highlights the importance of raising awareness among young people about the circumstances that affected society across different sectors such as education, health, culture, arts, technology, communication, and social life. Art becomes a supportive link that helps youth understand challenges and discover opportunities that spread awareness and achieve aesthetic and intellectual values.

Art is a vital, active, and important practice. It is part of the daily life we live, and it is a field through which ideas and energies rise to create and develop creative opportunities in all areas.
