S4E1. Season 4 Premier!

Tatreez Talk
About this episode

We’re back with Season 4 of Tatreez Talk! In this episode, we catch you up on what we’ve been up to—from Amanne’s workshops with the San Francisco Public Library during SWANA and Arab American Heritage Month, to Lina’s recent trip to Japan and her exploration of sustainability through thrifting and reimagining how we can bring new life to what’s already in our closets. We reflect on how tatreez continues to be a tool for storytelling, connection, and intentional living.

We’re also excited to announce our first-ever live podcast event in NYC, happening in about six weeks! 

Join us—Lina Barkawi (@linasthobe) and Amanne Sharif (@minamanne)—for a powerful in-person panel titled Why Tatreez Matters: Memory, Grief, and Liberation. We’ll be joined by fellow Palestinian tatreez artists Samar Dahleh (@tatreez.w.samoor), Sam Sundos (@sabri), Zaynah Alsharif (@kanaancollective), and Nada Esmaeel (@nadasink) for a deep conversation on why this ancestral practice continues to be a lifeline for Palestinians today.

🗓 JULY 12 | Doors open at 3PM | Panel at 4PM | Q&A at 5:30PM
💸 All proceeds go to Prosthetics for Palestine
