Printable Pattern: Intifada Tapestry (2000-2005)

$20.00

A 7-page embroidery pattern featuring a tapestry design produced during The Second Intifada (2000-2005). The scene shows an orange tree with doves, with roots in calligraphy that state:

 يا فلسطين ولا أغلى ولا أحلى وأطهر  كلما حاربت من أجلك أحببتك أكثر

ya filastin wala 'aghlaa wala 'ahlaa wa'uthir kulama harabt min 'ajlik 'ahbabtuk 'akthar

“Oh Palestine, there is nothing more precious, sweeter, and purer, the more I fight for you, the more I love you”

Flanked on each side of the tree are Palestinian women in traditional thobes carrying rocks in baskets over their heads, and handing them to rock throwers. This particular tapestry was beautifully created by ANAT Workshop in Damascus, Syria.

The dress is in the collection of the Textile Research Centre (Leiden), and can be found here: https://trc-leiden.nl/collection/?trc=&zoek=palestine&cat=&subcat=&g=&s=24&f=0&id=1794
