The Tatreez Institute, or Tatreez & Tea, was founded in 2016 to preserve, research, and document Palestinian embroidery, dress, and history through scholarship, oral history, material analysis, and dressmaking practice. The Institute is both an educational initiative and a study collection. The founder, Wafa Ghnaim, is a dress historian, curator, author, and fashion researcher specializing in Palestinian embroidery and dress history. Her work builds on the knowledge and practice of her mother, master embroiderer, historian, and award-winning artist Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim.
