There is power in what you wear.

A Bradford 2025 Artist-Led Award project.

About the project

VEILED.Reality is a design fiction on the future of hijabs, presented as an immersive, interactive first-person story, speculating on a future where emerging technologies, feminism and religion collide, in the genesis of wearable Shroud Computing and Smart Veils. The story follows the charismatic creator of these living, semi-sentient veils as her inventions are revealed to the world.
This special preview edition will allow audiences to enter the lab where the Veils are made and to explore their creator’s mysterious motivations.
VEILED.reality is inspired by Islamicates – science fiction short stories inspired by Muslim cultures.
