S1E6. Building Your Tatreez Community with The Tatreez Collective

6. BUILDING YOUR TATREEZ COMMUNITY WITH THE TATREEZ COLLECTIVE

THE TATREEZ COLLECTIVE, COMPRISED OF DINA AND YOMN, IS AN ORGANIZATION HOSTING WORKSHOPS BASED OUT OF LONDON (@thetatreezcollective).

Not only do we dive deep into our remarkable Mamas - both Palestinian and non-Palestinian who are basically Palestinian - but this episode is full of good vibes, laughter, and beauty rooted in tatreez.

For all of us in the diaspora, community is the link that offers us a connection to our identity, Palestine, and the preservation of an artform that must be practiced to remain alive. Hear from The Tatreez Collective on how they’re nurturing a community while staying true to the origin and tradition of tatreez.

If you’re in London, make sure you reach out to participate with The Tatreez Collective. If you’re not in London but within Europe, reach out to The Tatreez Collective to find a way to work together. And if you’re outside of Europe, reach out to us and we’ll help you find or start your very own magical tatreez community.
