Levantine Lexicon
We are setting out to design and curate an illustrated catalogue of designs from across the Levant.
We aspire for this Levantine Lexicon to be a documentation of our community, an exploration through your lenses about our stories and designs that echo across the region. Spark conversations with your elders and each other, and submit the Levantine designs you’d like to see in this collection. Tell us about a designed object, system, or space that we can feature.
This project was born in 2023 from the longing to explore our heritage as immigrants missing home. We put this work on hold when the horrific events in Gaza ramped up.
If you are excited about this project and want to see it come to life, please consider purchasing this zine as a way of support!

Be part of our Levantine Lexicon, and share your stories. Our Levantine Lexicon will compile design objects from the Levant, a geographical term that traditionally referred to a region in the Eastern Mediterranean before the rise of the modern nation states of Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Jordan. Feel free to submit as many entries as you’d like.
