All funds collected here will be going to support an on-the-ground mutual aid organization run by people from and in Gaza called Shabab Gaza (Gaza Youth). They have been building food kitchens and providing meals for Palestinians in Gaza who have been facing food scarcity, starvation, and displacement. 

This workshop will provide an overview of the history of Tatreez as a Palestinian cultural practice and art. We will discuss the historical, cultural, social, and political importance of Tatreez for Palestine and Palestinians. We will then spend time instructing workshop attendees on the basics of Tatreez and provide materials and patterns for their first Tatreez project.

Hala Saleh is a Tatreez practitioner who lives in the Seattle area. Hala practices the art of Tatreez both as a way to connect to her Palestinian heritage and culture, but also as a way to resist the erasure of Palestinian identity. Hala runs a local Tatreez circle for Palestinians (Seattle Resistance Tatreez), and teaches Tatreez with her good friend Sabrene Odeh.

Sabrene Odeh is the co-director of Baladna, an organization that hosts Palestinian events for the Pacific Northwest community. She is also a Tatreez instructor, community advocate, and proud Palestinian.

We believe that our existence is resistance, and practicing our ancestral craft reaffirms our humanity, our ties to our indigenous land of Palestine, and our pride in our heritage.
