This workshop will provide a historical overview of Tatreez as a Palestinian cultural practice and art, discussing the historical, cultural, social, and political importance of Tatreez for Palestine and Palestinians. Hala and Sabrene will then instruct workshop attendees on the basics of Tatreez and provide materials and patterns for their first Tatreez project.

Please note this is an IN-PERSON workshop that will take place at Open Books in Seattle, Washington.

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.
