In this piece, I reimagine a traditional Kurdish textile, Shall, by knitting a 300 cm x 17 cm length of fabric entirely from my own hair. Human hair, particularly my own, is a recurring and potent material in my practice, embodying layered meanings of gender, politics, memory, abjection, and the uncanny. In my cultural context, hair is not only biologically natural but socially and religiously regulated, with women required to conceal it in public. By exposing and transforming my hair into a textile form, I challenge those imposed boundaries and engage with hair as both a personal trace and a political statement. The original Shall, made from goat or sheep hair, was traditionally produced by women in Iraqi Kurdistan, who prepared the raw material and spun the thread, yet the final product—expensive men’s garments—was sold and claimed by men. Central to the production process is a small wooden tool called Tashi, used exclusively by women to prepare the hair. In my work, the Tashi is presented alongside the hair-fabric, reinforcing the tension between visible and invisible labour, nature and culture, gendered craft and economic value. Through this reimagining, the piece speaks to the erasure of women’s labour, the gendered history of textile production, and the power of reclaiming the body as material and message.
