SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Regional Distinctions in Palestinian Dress
DESCRIPTION:Late 19th/Early 20th Centuries\n\nDate: Friday\, July 18\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: Online\, Zoom link will be emailed 24 hours prior to event\nInstructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian\, Researcher & Educator\nRegistration Fee: Sliding scale \nDescription: Until the mid-twentieth century\, the dress of the Palestinian people was descriptive of identity; first by societal segment (city dweller\, villager or nomad)\, and then by the region in which the wearer came. Within each regional style\, finer distinctions in women’s dress (thobe) were expressed that shared the maker’s life and the natural world around her. Palestinian women recorded their identity in their thobe with embroidery (tatreez) through a shared illustrative language of embroidered patterns\, stitching techniques and thread colors. The thobe records unwritten stories and serves as a visual register of collective and individual identities\, documenting a woman’s village\, tribe or town\, her marital status\, her familial lineage\, and the material impact of colonialism\, occupation\, war and exile. The regional identity of the woman defines the overall governing style of her thobe\, and evidence of identity is largely through her embodiment of land. \nThis lecture will discuss the regional distinctions in dress in historical Palestine by city\, village and tribe for at least six regions\, to include Ramallah\, Galilee\, Gaza\, Bir Saba\, Al Khalil\, and Bethlehem. \nWhat You’ll Receive:\n\nLive access to the 2-hour lecture\nA recording for 7 days after the live session

SUMMARY:Announcing: Resistance Arts\, a Conversation with El-Funoun (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Announcing: Resistance Arts\, a Conversation with El-Funoun\nSaturday\, July 12 | 10AM Pacific\, 1PM Eastern\, 8PM Palestine \nThe struggle for Palestine lives in every form of resistance\, including art. Widely considered the lead Palestinian dance company in Palestine and the diaspora\, El-Funoun was established in 1979 by a small group of enthusiastic\, creative and committed artists. The Troupe has developed an innovative style of dance deeply-rooted in Palestinian and Arab folklore and informed by elements of contemporary dance movement. A leading cultural institution in Palestine\, El-Funoun has used dabke\, music\, and cultural work as tools to confront erasure and resist the zionist occupation\, making them and their dancers a continuous target of imprisonment and repression by the zionist entity. \nJoin the PYM’s Resistance Arts Committee for a discussion with El-Funoun that is rooted in political clarity\, history\, and the realities we face now. We will be exploring: \n– What do we mean by resistance arts in the Palestinian context?\n– How did El-Funoun turn culture into a site of struggle\, from choreography built inside prison walls to stages across the world?\n– What does it mean to build and defend Palestinian cultural institutions today\, both under occupation and in exile? \nLink to register for the webinar: https://bit.ly/PYMxEl-FunounWebinar \nYou don’t want to miss this!

👤 Instructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian & Educator \nThis lecture commemorates the Six-Day War (June 5–10\, 1967)\, which began the ongoing Israeli military occupation of the West Bank\, Gaza Strip\, and East Jerusalem. In the wake of this seismic event\, tatreez shifted in its meaning and function as a form cultural expression. From the intimate labor of individual women’s hands to the international recognition of Palestinian embroidery by UNESCO in 2021 as Intangible Cultural Heritage\, tatreez continues to serve as a vessel of collective memory and a historical record of the Palestinian people.\nPhotograph by @m0nastic Chris Gale\n🔗 Register at the link in bio\n#Tatreez #PalestinianEmbroidery#AlNaksa #WafaGhnaim #artsed#arthistory

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: The Timeless Thobe – Documenting Land\, Heritage & Culture in Palestinian Dress
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, May 24\, 2025\n\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: Online\, Zoom link will be emailed 24 hours prior to event\nInstructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian\, Researcher & Educator\nRegistration Fee: Sliding scale \nThe thobe\, a traditional hand embroidered dress made and worn by Palestinian women for centuries\, is the bedrock of Palestinian identity through heritage\, culture and land. For millennia\, women in the eastern Mediterranean have showcased their skillful stitchery on their traditional dress\, displaying unique motifs\, colors and styles across the various villages of old Palestine. \nAfter 1948\, over 750\,000 Palestinians were forced into exile\, carrying their dressmaking and embroidery traditions with them into refugee camps and around the world. As the diaspora spread across the globe\, the largest and longest-standing population of displaced people in the world\, the thobe evolved into a symbol of national and cultural identity beyond borders. \nIn this live virtual lecture\, dress historian\, researcher\, and educator Wafa Ghnaim will explore the evolution of the thobe and the visual language of tatreez (embroidery) as used on traditional Palestinian dress. From village styles to diasporic adaptations\, this talk offers a compelling look at how dress documents the intertwined threads of history\, memory\, and identity. \nWhat You’ll Receive:\n\nLive access to the 2-hour lecture\nA recording for 7 days after the live session\n\nImportant Notes:\n\nTickets are nonrefundable.\nThis is a live\, virtual event hosted via Zoom.\nRegistration closes at 10:00 AM EST on May 24\, 2025.\nA Zoom link will be sent via email the day before the event.\nThe instructor reserves the right to review and decline registrations at her discretion to ensure a respectful and safe learning environment for all participants.\nSpace is limited to ensure an intimate and interactive experience.\nSharing your camera is required.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Translated Works Book Group: Sand-Catcher by Omar Khalifah\, Translated by Barbara Romaine
DESCRIPTION:Join the Contemporary Translated Works Book Group – Now Monthly! \nMechanics’ Institute\, in partnership with the Center for the Art of Translation and our new presenting partner\, Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum\, is thrilled to announce the expansion of the Contemporary Translated Works Book Group into a monthly\, member-led series! Beginning Spring 2025\, we will host lunchtime discussions (12:00–1:00 pm PT) online via Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month\, featuring thought-provoking literary selections from around the world. \nFour young\, Palestinian journalists at a Jordanian newspaper are tasked\, on account of their heritage\, with profiling one of the last living witnesses of the Nakba\, the violent expulsion of native Palestinians by the nascent state of Israel in 1948. The old man has no desire to be interviewed\, no desire for his memories to be preserved\, no desire to serve as an inspiration for the youth of tomorrow. As threats from the team’s editor-in-chief put more and more pressure on the journalists\, they must decide just how far they’re willing to go to get the old man on the record. \nJoin us at 11:30 AM for a Q&A with the translator before the discussion at 12:00 PM. \nFree to Folio members.\nLearn more and get tickets >> \nOrder Sand-Catcher >>
