A hands-on cultural arts workshop exploring the traditional Palestinian embroidery art of tatreez as a powerful tool for inclusion, community-building, and resistance to discrimination—including Islamophobia.
Rooted in generations of Palestinian women’s resilience, tatreez is more than embroidery; it’s a living tradition of storytelling, identity, and cultural resistance. In this interactive event, participants will:
-
Learn the historical and cultural significance of tatreez
-
Explore how traditional arts can build empathy and challenge stereotypes
-
Hear stories of how communities use embroidery to reclaim voice and resist erasure
-
Create their own tatreez-inspired embroidery piece representing values like justice, peace, and unity
-
Contribute to a collective art piece symbolizing solidarity across cultures and identities
No sewing experience necessary—just bring your openness to learn, connect, and stitch in community.
This event is open to students, educators, and community members of all backgrounds. Materials provided.
Let’s come together to weave a shared story of resistance and belonging—one stitch at a time.
