About the event
Tatreez is the Arabic word for embroidery—and for Palestinians, it represents more than stitches on fabric. It is a centuries-old indigenous art form that weaves together memory, identity, and resistance. Passed down through generations for thousands of years, tatreez continues to be practiced today, preserving the cultural legacy of Palestine through needle and thread.
Join us for a special workshop led by Jenin of Tatreez Jenin, where participants will learn about the rich history of this traditional craft and experience hands-on instruction in basic tatreez techniques. This event offers a colorful and creative way to connect with Palestinian culture and explore how art can serve as a form of education, resilience, and storytelling.
This workshop is part of the Stitching Stories workshop and exhibition series, where we are bridging the Black and Asian communities through the art of textile works, supported by Healing Illinois.
