Tatreez + The Art of Resistance 101 is an introduction to Palestinian resistance through the art of Tatreez, led by Brooklyn-based Palestinian-American artist Sam Sundos. This beginner level course will educate students not only on the craft but also on its origins, focusing on the history of its use as a form of resistance against occupying forces. In this 2 hour course, students will be provided with a Aida cloth, tapestry needles, thread and 2 motifs, as well as a translation of various other motifs for those looking to dive deeper into this resilient craft. Through the lens of Palestinian resistance and storytelling, students will walk away with a greater understanding of not only a new skill but of a people’s fight for liberation.
