Armor
Armor (2015) by Kubra Khademi is a provocative performance in which the artist wore a metal breastplate mimicking exaggerated female anatomy, challenging societal norms and gender roles in Kabul. The piece led to exile after violent backlash, marking a pivotal moment in her career.
Land Mark (Foot Prints)
Land Mark (Foot Prints) documents activist collaborations in Vieques, where altered shoe soles stamped protest slogans onto former military land. The photographs capture fragile, temporary marks of dissent that question land use, power, and reclamation through everyday actions.

Walk a Mile in Her Veil is an introspective exploration of Arab identity through the lens of the veil and its wearer. Developed through in-depth research into the cultural, social, economic, and feminist reasons women choose to wear the veil, the work invites visitors to physically try it on and walk around in it—transforming observation into embodied experience. By doing so, it challenges preconceived notions and encourages empathy, understanding, and dialogue around the multiplicity of meanings the veil holds. The piece was first exhibited at the Royal College of Art Degree Show, then shown at Walking Women (Somerset House, London) and Skandal Normal (OK Centrum, Linz).
