خيوط السّرد – ملخّص
تجلس أمامنا إثنتا عشر إمرأة فلسطينية وتتحدثن عن حياتهن قبل الشتات، عن ذكرياتهن، حياتهن، وهويتهن. وترتبط القصص من خلال خيط التطريز الأبدي.
إثنتا عشر امرأة, يمتلكن الصمود، العزم، وبلاغة التعبير، ويأتين بها من نواحيهن المتفاوتة في الحياة: محاميات، فنانات، ربات منزل، ناشطات، مهندسات، وسياسيات، يطرزن معاً قصة وطنهن، حرمانهن، وثبوتهن على أن العدالة لا بد أن تسود يوماً.
من خلال قصصهن، يتشابك السرد الفردي مع السرد الجماعي، محافظاً في الوقت ذاته على تميّزه و خصوصيّته.
إثنتا عشر إمرأة، إثنتا عشر عمراً, وقصصٌ من فلسطين، أرضٌ كان موقعها محدّداً على خريطة العالم، صار واقعها مطرّزاً على وجهه.

"Twelve Palestinian women sit before us and talk of their life before the Diaspora, of their memories, of their lives and of their identity. Their narratives are connected by the enduring thread of the ancient art of embroidery.Twelve resilient, determined and articulate women from disparate walks of life: lawyers, artists, housewives, activists, architects, and politicians stitch together the story of their homeland, of their dispossession, and of their unwavering determination that justice will prevail."
