About The Tatreez Collective
The Tatreez Collective (Dina Asfour, Lizzy Vartanian, Yomn Al-Kaisi) is made up of three diasporic women of Middle Eastern heritage ultimately united by a love of Tatreez. The word ‘tatreez’ is Arabic for embroidery, and while the term is used to refer to embroider more broadly, in the Palestinian context it is understood to refer to cross-stitch. Their practice is a way to document and promote Palestinian heritage, as well as an act of resistance.
