Hello
My name is Othman Shehadeh. I'm a visual artist from Palestine, and I built LIBERTY because I couldn't find a brand that did what I needed it to do: hold a position clearly, wear it with dignity, and back it with something material.
Why clothing?
Because clothing is public. It moves through the world with you. A garment that carries the colors and symbols of a silenced people doesn't sit on a shelf — it walks into rooms, starts conversations, refuses to let the world look away.
How LIBERTY works.
Each collection — I call them drops — focuses on one nation or minority community. The design draws directly from their cultural visual identity: flag colors, traditional patterns, historic symbols.
When the drop cycle ends, I move to the next nation. The archive stays live. Every community I've stood with remains visible.
The book.
Alongside the clothing, I wrote and illustrated Sarajevo-Hebron Protocols — a darkly comic manual for life under siege. From Sarajevo to Hebron, it traces the bureaucratic absurdity of occupation: where collecting water is tactical, empathy is conditional, and peace is paperwork. It exists in the same spirit as the brand: witness, not pity. Check it out here.
A note on commerce.
LIBERTY is a personal project, not a corporation. I'm not here to build a fashion brand. I'm here because design is the tool I have, and I intend to use it. Every piece you buy is a small act of solidarity that carries financial consequence for real people in the places we champion.
Thank you for being here. Wear it with intention.
