At the seams : a political history of Palestinian embroidery
Embroidery is extraordinary material - visual, tactile, intimate, labourious, political. Challenging associations with the antiquated, the traditional and the marginal. Published to accompany the 2016 exhibition of the same name, At the Seams broke new ground in extending the history of Palestinian embroidery into the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Beyond its historical importance before 1948, embroidery has undergone rich and dynamic transformations in the decades since - constituting forms of heritage-driven nationalism, militant resistance, nascent economic power and challenge to the infrastructural and cultural violence of the Israeli state. -- Kettle Yard's website
