Stitching Memory: Palestinian Tatreez in Fashion and Resistance

Tatreez, the centuries-old Palestinian embroidery usually made by women from different regions, is framed as both cultural heritage and a political act of resistance. After 1948, motifs and colors gained political meaning, UNESCO recognized tatreez as intangible heritage, and it now features in major European museum shows and contemporary design (e.g., Ayham Hassan’s work) as a living language of identity. Community tatreez circles and exhibitions at MoMu and the V&A Dundee highlight the craft’s relevance beyond ornament, celebrating Palestinian culture, land, and resilience.

"Secretly Created Artistic Wonderland in Ordinary Flat Granted Protected Status"

Ron Gittins, an eccentric artist who lived in a rented apartment for three decades, secretly transformed the space into an artistic wonderland, featuring murals, historical scenes, and unique decorations. After his death, his family discovered the extraordinary interior, leading to the property being granted protected status by the British government. The apartment, known as "Ron's Place," has been given Grade II listing and is the first example of Outsider Art to receive protected status in England. Plans are underway to stabilize and preserve the artwork for a micro-museum and to convert the building into a holistic house of art and creativity, allowing other artists to work in the space.
