Jerusalem Design Week 2023 invites a range of creative interpretations on its annual theme, ‘Lies and Falsehoods’, from designers, architects, artists, and tech-savvy experts worldwide. Those submitting a project for consideration should interpret the theme in their own way.

The event will explore the role of design in contemporary culture through an up-to-date investigation of deceptiveness. The theme seeks to examine design’s manipulative tools and the realities they shape. During Jerusalem Design Week, the aim is to present a series of works that capture the meaning of illusion, works that knowingly conceal, deceive, or give rise to an alternative reality, and works that attempt to uncover and explore truth and authenticity, in the face of lies and falsehoods.

Application deadline February 1st, 2023 at noon. Applicants that move to the second round will be notified by February 20th, 2023. The selected works will be funded and displayed from June 22nd–29th, 2023 at Jerusalem Design Week 2023.
