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.
