Upcoming workshops

  • The Tatreez Forest: Stitching Palestinian Heritage

    We’re excited to announce The Tatreez Forest: Stitching Palestinian Heritage, a project by the Arab British Centre and Tatreez Collective.

    Through workshops in five museums across England, along with an open call so anyone anywhere can participate, our goal is to create several large-scale Cypress trees – a powerful symbol of hope and resilience in Palestinian culture – each made up of 100 individually stitched Tatreez panels. Your contribution will be vital to this collective artwork. By participating, you’ll add your unique voice to a tapestry of embroidered Cypress trees, each one representing the strength and unity of our community. Together, we will create a stunning visual representation of solidarity and cultural heritage.

    This project is supported by the Barakat Trust’s Hands on Islamic Art Grant, awarding funds from the National Heritage Lottery Fund.
