Tiraz Centre hosted the launch of Stitches of Palestine, a long-awaited publication by Salua Qidan and Laila Mushahwar. The book offers a comprehensive exploration of the Palestinian thobe, covering its history, anatomy, and embroidery stitches. The launch brought the book to life through interactive stitching stations where visitors learned directly from artisan embroiderers using techniques featured in the publication. The event also included discussions with traditional fabric vendors and textile experts, providing visitors with opportunities to engage with different aspects of textile heritage. The evening concluded with a conversation with the authors, who shared insights into the research, knowledge, and traditions documented in the book.
