Raafat Majzoub is an architect, artist, writer, director of The Khan: The Arab Association for Prototyping Cultural Practices, and editor-in-chief of the Dongola Architecture Series. Majzoub’s work explores worldbuilding through experiments in new pedagogy focused on the abandonment of the notion of one truth and the development of inclusive, collaborative teaching and learning methods.

He is the co-editor of Design to Live: Everyday Inventions from a Refugee Camp (MIT Press, FHL) and co-founder of the Beirut-based The Outpost magazine, where he also published two literary supplements: The Perfumed Garden and L’Origine(s) du Monde.

His writing has been published in recto:verso, Perpetual Postponement, antiAtlas Journal, and Contemporary Theatre Review. He has lectured on worldbuilding and speculative fiction at BAC Beirut, ENSAD Paris, CCCB Barcelona, and Kaaitheater Brussels. His public art installations have been exhibited in Beirut, Cairo, Jerusalem, Amman, Brussels, and Cambridge, and he participated in the NSK Pavilion in the 57th Venice Biennale, Drodesera XXXVII Supercontinent, and the Nature public program in Brussels.

His solo exhibition Raafat Majzoub: GROUNDS (2022) brings together a decade of excerpts and fictional propositions from his performative writing process for The Perfumed Garden: An Autobiography of Another Arab World.
