Value Added Text by Alina Lupu is a text-based screenprinting workshop operating inside the Dappermarkt throughout June 2026 as both a printing press and a micro-economy. Borrowing the fiscal term “value added,” the project examines how commodities gain surplus value, and how language itself can function as added value

The sessions will trace the evolution of Tatreez from early village customs to its role as a medium of political expression among Palestinian women who advanced community leadership initiatives during the Intifada. The workshop will also address current practices, digital preservation, and the symbolism of Tatreez as an embodiment of love and resilience, carrying forward Palestinian women’s matriarchal insistence on memory.
