SUMMARY:Feral Abbasi-Ghnaim: A Celebration of Palestinian Embroidery
DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of Palestinian Embroidery presents selected works by Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim\, an award-winning master artist\, renowned teacher\, mother\, and grandmother\, in honor of her birthday. Throughout her life and career\, Abbasi-Ghnaim has devoted herself to preserving and passing down the centuries-old art of tatreez to Palestinian women and girls in the diaspora. She has also worked to educate the American public about its deep significance\, both as an intangible cultural heritage and as a tangible documentation for storytelling\, identity\, and resistance. This exhibition honors her remarkable contributions to the community and the world\, as documented in Tatreez & Tea: Embroidery and Storytelling in the Palestinian Diaspora (2016). Organized by her three daughters\, this intimate exhibition highlights how her work functions as both a personal and collective archive of beauty\, memory\, and sorrow. Every stitch bridges home and homeland\, threading stories across generations and geographies. Through her hands\, tatreez becomes more than embroidery—it becomes a visual language of Palestinian resilience\, identity\, and creative expression in exile.

SUMMARY:A Night with Mx. Yaffa: Conversation // Reading // Book Signing 
DESCRIPTION: (Open to all\, no registration required) \nJoin us in celebrating the release of Yaffa’s latest book\, Sage. Sage is a poetry collection that acknowledges all transphobia is systemic but the pain of everyday interpersonal violence is still felt in our bones. A collection that highlights challenges and joy within interpersonal relationships from the perspective of a queer and trans Palestinian living at the margins of displacement\, disability\, immigration & ongoing genocide. Sage is a beacon of light\, shedding light to wounds that have festered and rotted\, and finding the paths forward as fascism claims more of who we are. \nAvailable now in ebook and print! \nThe CSPP Library will be open! Get a library card\, check out + return a book\, and support the only community run SWANA Library. \nBooks will be for sale along with prints\, shirts + herbal medicine from the community. \nAll proceeds go to Trans folks most affected by ongoing gen0cides. \nMasks provided and required at @swanarosepdx – community care is a verb
