Palestinian Tatreez Workshops at de Appel Amsterdam

Location: de Appel, Tolstraat 160, Amsterdam
Website: https://www.deappel.nl/en/

You are invited to join Rima Musa for a workshop on Tatreez, the traditional Palestinian art of cross-stitch embroidery. The session 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. Participants will create a small embroidered motif at the end.

The workshop will be repeated once a month, between January and June 2026. All skill levels are welcome.
