Crafted Liberation is a collective action, transforming unwanted headscarves donated by Iranian women into stadium seats, as a statement for women empowerment. Our mission is to share Iranian women’s inspiring stories, creating spaces for acceptance, belonging and dialogue. In Iran, women have long been banned from entering stadiums. The stadium seat is a symbol of limitation and suppression. Using a combination of lamination and compression moulding techniques, we created a unique material by combining the donated headscarves with recycled polymers, while honouring the composite materials traditionally used in stadium seat construction. The blended materials are transformed into sheets and moulded into stadium seats, with the headscarf giving each seat unique visual appearance, embodied with Iranian women’s empowering stories.

Reclaiming Waste to a Statement of Empowerment: The seats are made from unique composite material developed in collaboration with an Australian manufacturer specialising in materials and processes involving fiber and composite technologies. Using a combination of lamination and pressure moulding, the result material is a durable and lightweight composite made from 100% waste resources such as unwanted and donated head scarfs and waste plastic bags.

From discarded headscarves to stadium seats, Crafted Liberation leverages material innovation to honour Iranian women’s resilience in the pursuit of gender equality. The project embodies a radical design ethos: one that merges material reuse with cultural narrative, and sustainability with social defiance. For decades, Iranian women have been banned from entering stadiums, a stark representation of their systemic exclusion. Crafted Liberation confronts this reality by turning stadium seats into a canvas for resistance and unity.
