Tatreez Garden generates unique images rooted in Palestinian embroidery and interwoven with plants important to Palestinian ecology, culture, and diet.
Tatreez, a form of Palestinian embroidery practised for generations, is a wearable art form of identity, resilience, and connection to land. Traditionally crafted by women, it carries cultural memory, agricultural motifs, and often encodes biographical details about the wearer.
Tatreez connects feminist craft, identity, ecology, and embodiment through textiles and clothing. By reinterpreting traditional cross-stitch patterns with generative AI, the project explores collective memory, diasporic ties to place, and the continuities of Palestinian culture and identity across time and space. Users participate in this evolving archive, not only preserving heritage but actively envisioning Palestinian futurities.
Tatreez Garden is a tool of artistic resistance, collective advocacy, and fundraising.
