Thank you Tin House! I am honored and excited to work with so many talented creators this summer…and beyond the moon to learn from Lena Khalaf Tuffaha!
“Our grandmothers’ tears of Tatreez live on through us. Tatreez, Indigenous Palestinian embroidery, holds hope, tears and sumud -> our cultural inheritance. Their gift to us for the enduring. We are more than fierce grief…we are ancestral indigeneities in human form dreamed into being by our ancestors. We are love, strength, art, magic and so much more. We were formed by dreams, sand and stardust but we are shaped by love.
We are poetry. We are Palestine.”
