21 Designs for 21 Years — A Visual Celebration of DDF

A collage of 21 unique DDF designs spanning from 2002 to 2023, showcasing a vibrant evolution of visual design through dance imagery, typography, and bold colours

As we celebrate our 21st Edition, we’re taking a moment to look back, not only through memories and milestones, but also through design.

From bold statements to quiet elegance, each DDF Edition design has told its own story. Together, they chart the changing face of the festival, reflecting not only the artists and ideas of each year, but also the spirit of the times.

From our beginnings as a biennial festival in 2002, to becoming an annual event, through the pivot online in 2020, and now arriving at our bold 21st Edition in 2025, it’s been a journey full of transformation.

It’s a true trip down memory lane, tracing our path from today all the way back to where it all began.

Join us as we unroll the full archive – a celebration of every step along the way.
