Research project.
From Funding Recipient(s):
"We are hand weaving a series of textiles to explore and reclaim Palestinian cultural heritage. Thanks to research funding from APIRG, we were able to purchase books and interview individuals with practical weaving knowledge and knowledge of Palestinian textile heritage. This research has allowed us to make monumental progress in our work. Our project would not be possible without APIRG's support, and we are immensely grateful! "

An experimental journey that explores and reclaims diminishing Palestinian heritage, craft, and identity. Each study incrementally builds to the final piece in the series: a handwoven Kaffiyah, a scarf that distinctly symbolizes Palestinian identity.
