About This Item

Portrait of four women in Michael and Hushi clothing standing side by side. The pieces worn by the models utilize various textiles, patterns, and styles of clothing, such as military shirts, Qajar and Kurdish skirts and pants, revolutionary slogans, and the Palestinian Keffiyeh, to create repurposed and complex designs with a distinct political perspective.
