'We need spaces like this': Local Palestinians finding peace by creating community quilt
Social Sharing If you spent some time in Waterloo Park this summer, you may have seen a group of people sitting together and embroidering a quilt. They are part of Tatreez Studio, a local Palestinian community arts organization. They spent five nights throughout the summer meeting in the park to work on The Tatreez Quilt Project, which entailed creating a community quilt using a special embroidery technique called tatreez. Tatreez is an important part of Palestinian identity. The symbols used in the patterns can instantly signal where the textile is from or where the artist who has done the embroidery is from. The theme for this year's quilt translates to: Killing the flowers does not delay spring. Part of gathering together for these workshops is to mourn the lives lost during the Israel-Hamas war. Since the war started in October 2023, more than 61,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's military campaign in Gaza, according to local health officials there. Tatreez techniques are usually passed down from mother to daughter says Ala' Al-Thibeh, an artist and founder of Tatreez Studio. "[Tatreez] does get passed down within families so it has been an amazing experience," she said. Using natural materials is a way to connect to the land and to her ancestors, Al-Thibeh said. She said the theme reminded her of the poppy flower. "The poppy blooms every spring, it is a symbol of resistance because no matter what is going to happen, Palestinians will continue to thrive," Al-Thibeh told CBC News during one of the workshops in Waterloo Park. Nimra Bandukwala, a community artist and co-facilitator, dyed the patches with different materials found in the Middle East. The ingredients include: cochineals, rust, sumac berries, onion skins, pomegranate, coffee and more. Bandukwala said now more than ever people mostly receive the news of the war alone on their phones and it is a challenge to be a person with compassion, empathy and openness given the updates. "So to come to a space like this … moving between laughter and heaviness, nothing really compares. We need spaces like this." The group planned to finish the tatreez quilt by late summer but the timeline is flexible. Bandukwala said the quilt will be finished when it is finished. "It will take the time it takes." Al-Thibeh looks at the collaborative exercise not just as a community-building practice or act of resistance but also a form of cultural preservation. Being a tatreez artist, she said, "has connected me in a way I never thought I'd be connected to others, especially through social media." Al-Thibeh said she has taught and learned from people around the world. The group hopes the quilt will be part of a traveling exhibit.
