Reclaiming Our Collective Inheritance: Stitching Circle
December 14, 2025 - 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM

This gathering invites participants to slow down, stitch, and share in a space of cultural exchange and reflection. Centered on the spirit of Tatreez, the traditional Palestinian art of embroidery, this circle welcomes anyone engaged in fabric arts — from embroidery and knitting to any form of needlework. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own projects and join in conversation over traditional Palestinian tea.
Historically, Tatreez stitching circles have been spaces of community, cultural preservation, and storytelling. Across the Palestinian diaspora, they serve as living archives where memory and identity are threaded into fabric — preserving heritage through the act of making. While each stitch carries a lineage of women’s labor, artistry, and resistance, these gatherings also evolve to include new forms of expression, connection, and solidarity.
This circle is not a formal workshop but a communal space — open to all experience levels — to create, converse, and reflect on the shared languages of craft and care.
