  THE ARTIST\nAmanne Sharif\, a Palestinian Tatreez artist based in the Bay
  Area\, draws inspiration from her deep connection to Palestinian heritage
 . Guided by the stories of her maternal grandmother\, a refugee displaced 
 from Al-Qubab village in the Ramleh region in 1948\, Amanne's art reflects
  a legacy of resilience and cultural pride. Despite resettling in Brazil\,
  her grandparents ensured the enduring preservation of their Palestinian i
 dentity\, nurturing Amanne's passion for Tatreez. Infusing each piece with
  her identity\, Amanne employs traditional motifs enriched with vibrant nu
 ances. Her work serves as a tribute to her ancestors\, a reclaiming of sto
 len land\, and a defiance against attempts to erase Palestinian identity. 
 Additionally\, Amanne co-hosts the popular podcast Tatreez Talk and co-fou
 nded The Tatreez Retreat. She offers virtual and in-person Tatreez worksho
 ps\, with previous clients including Los Gatos Library\, Stanford Universi
 ty\, and Pixar. Committed to community engagement\, she strives to preserv
 e and celebrate Tatreez's rich heritage for future generations.\n\n\n\n\n\
