S2E11. Heritage Through Fiber Arts with Nadia
S2E11. HERITAGE THROUGH FIBER ARTS WITH NADIA
IN THIS EPISODE, WE’RE JOINED BY NADIA, A CRAFTSPERSON AND FIBER ARTIST (@HOPEANDHEARTSHOP). For Nadia, tatreez is a gateway to not only her personal identity but to opening up conversations with family members and others about Palestinian history, experience, and cultural heritage.
Nadia recounts her initial exposure to this traditional art form, how it seamlessly intersects with the many other fiber arts she explores, and she continues to find inspiration for new ideas and keep track of them all. She discusses the influence of her grandmother (Teta) on her tatreez practice and shares her perspective on learning how not to be afraid to try new things and the resources, both free and paid, that we can all take advantage of to do so. Tune in to gain inspiration from Nadia’s thoughtful approach to preserving and innovating within the realm of Palestinian tatreez.
