AlUla Artist Residency: Tracing Impermanence
Disciplines: Editorial design
Role: Designer at Flint Culture with creative director Bayan Alsheikh
Year​​​​​​​: 2025
Designed by Maryam Ahmed under the direction of Bayan Alsheikh, the Tracing Impermanence catalogue captures the 2025 AlUla Artist Residency through a clean, bilingual layout that prioritises clarity, structure, and space.
Commissioned by Flint Culture, the publication pairs Arabic and English in parallel, using a balanced typographic system and a minimal grid to support both languages without visual hierarchy. Imagery leads the experience—sequenced with restraint to reflect the artists’ engagement with time, movement, and place.
The result is a quiet yet intentional design that frames the work without interruption—serving both as record and continuation of the residency’s evolving dialogue.
