Women in Hebron: Talk + Embroidery Workshop at Bristol Palestine Museum
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"A vital introductory evening on Palestinian embroidery and its relationship to resistance, with a talk and workshop on tatreez techniques and their importance from fair trade co-op founder Nawal Slemiah. Each tatreez stitch interweaves the maker’s life with ancestral biographical glyphs and cultural motifs, creating an act of historical preservation in the current climate of erasure."
