Transmedia project that involved a field trip to Iran, interview sessions, and resulting design of a carpet and deck of cards based on the life stories of twelve young Iranian women.
The carpets are being produced as a numbered series and auctioned. Proceedings help an Iranian foundation that cares for at-risk young women. With Maartje Nevejan and Alwine van Heemstra.
