identity hosted a roundtable and workshop in honour of Emirati Women's Day in collaboration with Casamia
In honour of Emirati Women’s Day on August 28th, identity in collaboration with Casamia hosted an Emirati Women’s Day roundtable followed by a workshop led by home fragrance brand, Dastaangoi. Located at the Casamia Flagship Showroom at the Porro exhibit, the setting supported the depth of dialogue and connection. The roundtable focused not only on celebrating Emirati women in the design and creative industries, but also on what Emirati identity means in the context of their work, exploring ways to collaborate, and identifying unique opportunities that has helped flourish their careers.
The workshop was held in collaboration with Dastaangoi – a homegrown fragrance brand celebrated for its storytelling-led approach to design. Known for weaving narrative, memory, and craft into each candle, the workshop invited participants to reflect, create, and connect through scent and form. A special scent was also crafted for the occasion.
Here is a glimpse of the exciting event:
