Take the lecture + sign up for Tatreez classes
Learn about Palestinian Tatreez (embroidery) with a local Palestinian Tatreez artist and help raise funds for Abdulruhman and his family in Gaza (all profits donated). In this lecture we’ll learn about the multi-faceted histories of Palestinian embroidery and dress. From indigenous clothing technology, to cross-stitch story-telling, cultural resistance and modern diaspora practice, we’ll focus on the last 100-years of Tatreez and how it offers a unique way of understanding the Palestinian identity, liberation struggle and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
This class is open to everyone.
