Audience: Open to Everyone

Growing out of the 2024 UW-Madison student protest of the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza, a community stitching circle has emerged as a site of continued resistance and resilience, where participants honor and share Palestinian culture by engaging in the communal practice of traditional Palestinian embroidery known as tatreez. Panelists will discuss the role and legacy of the student-led movement for Palestine, the living history of tatreez, and the relationship between occupation, war, art, and culture. The group’s collectively-stitched quilt that was recently exhibited at Art Lit Lab’s show "Threading Solidarity: Tatreez from Teejop to Palestine" will be on display. In addition, panelists will share information on how to support the movement for Palestinian liberation and resist endless war.
