Tatreezing Palestine: Mapping of Land, People and Memory
November 19, 2024 @ 8:00 am - December 6, 2024 @ 5:00 pm

The “Tatreezing Palestine: Mapping of Land, People and Memory” exhibition will be displayed from Nov. 19–Dec. 6 in Gallery 181. The show is a culmination of research completed by master of science in architecture student Amani Taleb under the guidance of Nathalie Frankowski, associate professor of architecture and Design for Critical Futures Faculty Fellow.
The exhibition will feature drawings, films, textile art, and a workshop station that critiques cartography and alternative narratives of land, body, and memory, focusing on Palestinian embroidery (Tatreez) as a feminist, collective form of resistance and a keeper of history. By weaving together stories, memories, and voices from the land, crafts, and textiles, this show offers perspectives on the ongoing military presence and violence in Palestine.
A reception will be held from 5–8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19. The show will be held on the north side of the gallery. The gallery will be closed Nov. 25–29 for Thanksgiving break.
