Beschreibung

<p>For centuries, Palestinian women wrote the stories of their lives and land with a needle and thread. Their embroidery, or <i>tatreez</i>, inspired hundreds of artists who reinterpreted and transformed it into a symbol of Palestinian identity, steadfastness and resistance.</p><i>Narrative Threads</i> celebrates the immense beauty and significance of Palestinian embroidery in contemporary art. Joanna Barakat documents and features more than 200 works by twenty-four established and emerging artists, who incorporate the motifs and symbolism of <i>tatreez</i> across diverse media - from painting, sculpture and textile to film, photography and street art. While some artists preserve traditional forms, others transform <i>tatreez</i> to explore themes of displacement, resilience and belonging. Together, their works offer a dynamic reflection on Palestinian heritage and identity. With insightful essays by leading art historians Dr Tina Sherwell, Wafa Ghnaim and Rachel Dedman, <i>Narrative Threads</i> reveals the power of Palestinian embroidery as a visual language that recounts the past, connects us to the present and envisions a different, hopeful future.
