SUMMARY:Stitching Stories: Tatreez Workshop
DESCRIPTION:CHICAGO\, IL\n\nTatreez is the Arabic word for embroidery—and
  for Palestinians\, it represents more than stitches on fabric. It is a ce
 nturies-old indigenous art form that weaves together memory\, identity\, a
 nd resistance. Passed down through generations for thousands of years\, ta
 treez continues to be practiced today\, preserving the cultural legacy of 
 Palestine through needle and thread.\n\nJoin us for a special workshop led
  by Jenin of Tatreez Jenin\, where participants will learn about the rich 
 history of this traditional craft and experience hands-on instruction in b
 asic tatreez techniques. This event offers a colorful and creative way to 
 connect with Palestinian culture and explore how art can serve as a form o
 f education\, resilience\, and storytelling.\n\nThis workshop is part of t
 he Stitching Stories workshop and exhibition series\, where we are bridgin
 g the Black and Asian communities through the art of textile works\, suppo
 rted by Healing Illinois.\n\nJenin is the founder of Tatreez Jenin\, a sma
 ll business dedicated to teaching the history and practice of tatreez\, th
 e traditional Palestinian art of embroidery. Through community workshops\,
  she shares both the technical skills and cultural significance of this vi
 brant art form\, using it as a creative and accessible tool for cultural e
 ducation. For Jenin\, tatreez is more than a craft—it is a living archiv
 e of Palestinian identity\, artistry\, and heritage. Her work centers on c
 onnecting communities through storytelling\, color\, and tradition\, one s
 titch at a time.
