"Together with TATREEZ: The Needlework
Project and its sponsor Esperanza Peace & Justice Center"
TATREEZ (lit. "needlwork" in Arabic)
is the name of a Texas-based project dedicated to Palestinian
art and cultural exchange. TATREEZ was founded by 5
women artists and, in collaboration with the
Palestine Children's Welfare Fund and
Esperanza Peace & Justice Center, purchases
traditional embroidery and carved olive wood directly
from Palestinian artists, women's cooperatives and refugee
organizations at fair prices.
The purchases provide small but tangible,
ongoing support for these individuals and organizations
whose ability to trade has been choked off by the Israeli
military occupation. |
