Description
"In THOBNA: Reclaiming Palestinian Dresses in the Diaspora, Wafa Ghnaim celebrates messages of freedom, resistance and liberation embedded in Palestinian embroidery produced after the 1948 Nakba. Written and published exactly five years after her first book, 'Tatreez & Tea: Embroidery and Storytelling in the Palestinian Diaspora' (2018), Ghnaim moves from documenting the oral history and tatreez patterns passed down to her by her mother, award-winning artist Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim, to cultivating a reclamation process for identifying and rescuing Palestinian dresses in the diaspora in THOBNA." -- PUBLISHER
