The Exhibition
THOUBS: The Cross-point of Palestinian Identity exhibition recognises and exalts the art of embroidery and the creative virtuosity of Palestinian women.
The viewers will find themselves in front of a wide range of techniques used in dressmaking and embroidery of historic Palestine, such as tahriri (couching), tashreem (patchwork), and manajel (binding), and will appreciate the main regional styles with their materials and embellishment against the background of Palestinian life and culture.
The Cross-point of Palestinian Identities
Palestinian embroidery (tatreez) was added to the UNESCO cultural heritage list not just due to the beauty of this practice and the masterfully stitched threads of colours and patterns, but because of the significance of Palestinian embroidery in the stories and histories it carries.
In 2021, The United Nations cultural agency (UNESCO) added the art of traditional Palestinian embroidery to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
