MAQAM
2021
MAQAM is a cultural space in Amsterdam West, initiated by the Amsterdams Andalusisch Orkest in collaboration with Foam and Theater Meervaart. With a vibrant programme of concerts, exhibitions, workshops, and masterclasses, MAQAM celebrates the meeting of traditions, disciplines, and communities. The identity and website translate this richness into a colourful and dynamic design system, inspired by the musical concept of maqam: diverse musical modes combining into a palette of structures, improvisation, and playfulness..
