Each edition of the Doek Literary Festival is led by a design partner that creates the experiential aspects of the festival. Guided by its core values—especially transformation and social justice—Doek chooses a design partner with a proven track record of working with or promoting the arts in Namibia.

Turipamwe, an award-winning, female-led design and communication agency based in Windhoek, Namibia, was the selected design partner for the 2022 and 2024 editions of the Doek Literary Festival. Its current team is—below from left to right—Tanya Stroh, Dudley Minnie, Elrico Gawanab, Jean-Claude Tjitamunisa, Michael Amushendje, and Melissa Stroh.

In 2026, Turipamwe received an honourable mention at the inaugural Africa International Design Awards for the communication design of the 2022 Doek Literary Festival.

As the design partner of the 2026 Doek Literary Festival, Turipamwe continues its ongoing work changing the reception and appreciation of Namibian literature.
