Online Lecture: The Modern Art History of Palestinian Embroidery, hosted by Tatreez & Tea

Author and teaching artist, Wafa Ghnaim, will discuss the evolution of the thobe from the nineteenth century through the contemporary period. In the lecture, Wafa will detail regional variations of traditional Palestinian costume in old Palestine; political events that had direct artistic implications on embroidery; the emergence of costume customization; post-1967 war conditions that impacted textile artistry; the artwork that emerged during the First Intifada; as well as the various work of embroidery artists that are seen today. Join Wafa on a unique journey into the language of Palestinian embroidery as it was used on the traditional thobe, and how generations of Palestinians have preserved and modernized these traditions in diasporic communities around the world.
