The Nakba of 1948 disrupted every facet of Palestinian life—political, economic, social, and cultural. With the presence of illegal Israeli occupation and apartheid in Palestine for the past 75 years, Tatreez became a female-led resistance movement that advocated for the true narratives of history and identity. With motifs that indicate her origins in the land.
I see Tatreez as a direct rebuttal of the settler claim that Palestine was a “land without a people for a people without a land.” and attempt to do my best to keep the art alive and further spread it.
