Tatreez Garden is a custom AI image generator.
Tatreez, a form of Palestinian embroidery traditionally crafted by rural women for thousands of years, is a wearable art form that represents identity, resistance, connection to land, and cultural memory. In Tatreez Garden, users can generate their own patterns inspired by Tatreez and explore plants that hold significance to Palestinian ecology, culture, and diet, woven into their designs.
Tatreez, as a feminist practice, connects 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. This AI-driven approach blends artisanal data curation with user-generated outputs, creating an evolving archive that reaffirms Palestinian futurities in connection with land, craft, community, and identity.
