Tatreez is an art form that carries deep cultural meaning and has long served as a form of communication among women.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eFor generations, tatreez patterns and colours conveyed information about a woman’s village, social status, and important life events. Different regions developed their own recognisable styles. For example: Gaza’s traditional thobes (dresses) are richly embroidered with geometric motifs like the Canaanite Star and “hijab” triangles,\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eand Ramallah for its brightly colored embroidery on white or black fabrics. These motifs are cultural identifiers that connect the lady to a place, event and memory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eToday tatreez continues as a living practice. Women gather in tatreez circles where they stitch together, share stories and pass the creative craft to younger generations. Within refugee communities this work is also a vital way to preserve culture and history, especially for those displaced since the Nakba.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eIn 2021 UNESCO recognised Palestinian embroidery as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eYour purchase supports the artisans who continue this tradition with care and dedication.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eThank you\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palestine Center for Peace","offers":[{"title":"Watermelon \/ White","offer_id":42659399270498,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Watermelon \/ Dark red","offer_id":42659399303266,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Watermelon \/ Light green","offer_id":42659399336034,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Keffiyeh \/ White","offer_id":42659399368802,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Keffiyeh \/ Dark red","offer_id":42659399401570,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Keffiyeh \/ Light green","offer_id":42659399434338,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Stars \/ White","offer_id":42659399467106,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Stars \/ Dark red","offer_id":42659399499874,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stars \/ Light green","offer_id":42659399532642,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Trees \/ White","offer_id":42659399565410,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Trees \/ Dark red","offer_id":42659399598178,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Trees \/ Light green","offer_id":42659399630946,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/0506\/files\/db3efe5d-6a4a-413d-a546-b81b0f0d9f41.jpg?v=1774587400","url":"https:\/\/palestinecenterforpeace.com.au\/products\/tatreez-headbands","provider":"Palestine Center for Peace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
