Designers

The participants in Qamīs represent multiple generations and disciplines across the Eastern Mediterranean.

Designers. Architects. Artists. Chefs.

Researchers. Historians. Makers.

Each approaches the shirt from a different perspective, exploring its materials, construction, history, labor, landscape, and cultural context.

Participants will be announced progressively through August 2026.
