About this episode

TATREEZ TALK UPDATES
- NEW WEBSITE! We talked about our new branding last season and now our website reflects it: Check it out at www.tatreeztalk.com
- You can now search past episodes and explore our episode guides
- A phase-two feature is in the works (still under wraps 👀)
- A big season announcement is coming in the next few weeks — stay tuned
- We're always looking for guest recommendations (no social following required). What matters most is sharing personal stories of Palestinians and their connection to tatreez, told by Palestinians themselves
LINA’S UPDATES

AMANNE’S UPDATES
- Traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico for a week of in-person workshops, following a virtual talk she gave for the Textile Museum of Oaxaca back in March
- The Oaxaca Textile Museum is partnering with the Palestine Museum (Birzeit) on an embroidery exchange exhibition — embroiderers from each region are creating pieces to be swapped and displayed at both museums
- Is already in conversation with the museum about a return trip
- After nearly a year in the works, Amanne is launching her first tatreez fashion collection!!! Every piece is hand embroidered and made to order, embroidered by Palestinian women refugees in Jordan, in partnership with Deerah.
- Amanne is already working on round two and welcomes feedback (be nice!)
- You can browse and shop here: https://minamanne.com/fashion
- Also in the works: a new digital project — still under wraps, but tied to Amanne’s "obsessive" stitching practice
