Palestinian Embroidery and the Name Palestine in Arabic Calligraphy (Coming Soon)

Palestinian embroidery, or tatreez, is a vibrant form of cultural expression that preserves Palestinian identity, history, and resistance through intricate designs and symbols. Originating in rural villages, each region developed distinct patterns and motifs that communicated a woman’s social status, marital status, and hometown. Over time, embroidery has transcended its rural roots to become a national symbol, worn across Palestine and by the diaspora as a proud assertion of heritage and resilience in the face of displacement and occupation.
