Meet Nadine Kanso: Redefining Arab Identity Through Art, Language, and Design
Description
Welcome to Season 2 of The Design Pod. In Episode 10, we sit down with Nadine Kanso, the visionary artist, designer, and founder of Bil Arabi — a brand that has become a symbol of contemporary Arab identity. Through her jewellery, photography, and creative collaborations with global names like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, Nadine tells stories rooted in heritage, emotion, and authenticity.
From her early exhibitions at the V&A Museum in London to her ongoing influence on the global design stage, Nadine’s work transcends aesthetics — it’s a statement of pride, purpose, and belonging.
Join us as we explore the world of Bil Arabi, the beauty of Arabic calligraphy, and how Nadine continues to define modern Middle Eastern creativity through art that speaks from the heart.
