Workshop

Workshop: Tatreez (Palestinian Embroidery)


Falastin Film Festival 2025

(Sat 17 May: 2pm)

Rooted in tradition, tatreez is more than a craft. It’s a symbol of resistance, resilience, and cultural identity—stitched through generations in villages across Palestine and now practised around the world. Join us for a hands-on workshop with Rowa and learn the basics of Palestinian embroidery, tatreez.

Falastin Film Festival (FFF) is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit collective of Palestinians and allies dedicated to bringing Palestinian art to Edinburgh and Highland audiences. Palestinians are often summed up as an ‘occupied people,’ and spoken for, though they have their own stories to tell. Using cinema as a tool of resistance the festival strives to decolonize the narrative and equip audiences with historical context. There is a desire to build community while celebrating Palestinian art and culture through cinema, music, cuisine, and other storytelling mediums. Scotland’s exposure to Palestinian society, art, culture, and humanity altogether remains rather limited. FFF hopes to fill this gap, using both classical and contemporary cinema primarily but not exclusively. They strive to highlight Palestinian steadfast resistance, cultural preservation, stories of love, and in the words of poet Rafeef Ziadah, teachings of life. In so doing, they offer a refreshing portrayal that encompasses the geographic, linguistic, and experiential diversity of the Palestinian people globally.
