Palestinian Students - Found in the Friends School Collection

[inkbery]

well now I want to see your teacher's reaction to the 50-page binder that covered only our wedding traditions (made by my friend as a gift to another friend bc she was invited to her first arab/palestinian wedding), from the henna night, to Katib el Kitab, to the Surat Al Fatiha night, to the many dress and hair and food traditions that relate to celebrations, the songs and chants we all have memorized for every wedding, the Bride Zaffa and the Dabkeh and the Zaghareet (Ululation), etc etc.. sighh i miss the weddings. may the people inside Gaza someday have enough peace and joy to be able to celebrate again.

head empty no thoughts only gorgeous palestinian thobes

the details!!! the colors!! and all hand-embroidered!

and the use of the patterns on jackets and blazers are just *chefs kiss* gorgeous, and the accessories,,, so small but made with so much love and care

anyways, support palestinian-owned fashion businesses <3

Deerah, Falastini Brand, Dar Noora, Anat, Balady Stitch, and more and more and more

+ a bit of a crash course on the historical value of thobes for whoever is interested, here

#i had scans of the binder before she gave it away but i cant find them for the life of me #and the best part is these traditions will differ from region to region and family ro family #the refugees from the naqba (like my family and i) mostly merge all the traditions #but my grandma once sat me down and started to explain how even our celebrstory thobes will have different patterns and colors in the #embroidery that signify your family your #village #your social standing #etc #i wish i wrote it all down..

hey. hey. psst. listen to these <3 you'll like it i promise

#i have been living in a haze recently and palestine is all i can think about every minute of my day #and these songs. theyre like a balm to the soul #in a world where our identity is being systematically erased. i refuse to let our art go forgotten #whether u know what theyre saying or not i promise theyre so beautiful #most are like wedding/celebration songs #some are songs abt palestines freedom #most are what we would call “anasheed” (folk songs usually sung in groups) #palestine #gaza #free palestine #folk songs #and if anyone wants a translation about any songs PLEASE ASK ME OH MY GOD #Spotify

hi! you made the post about the Palestinian thobes, i love that post and i was looking to buy some pieces, however since they come from Gaza and they're currently under bombardment i was wondering if you know if it's ok to still purchase from there? because i don't want to put any pressure on the stores to send out stuff while they're literally at war. i wanted to ask some of the stores but i don't have an instagram to ask them. thanks!

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I follow a few on instagram (namely Balady Stitch and Anat) plus a few stitching groups and artists and..I would expect it to be a while until production goes back to normal. Even the people who are safe, or outside of Gaza, have friends and family that theyre worrying about/mourning.

Anat's website is still running but has a warning that all orders might be delayed, which makes sense since Isr*el are blocking anything from going into or out of Gaza. Bastards.

Anyways, I also know some brands such as Deerah are based in other countries, as they were made by palestinian refugees. It might be worth checking out their websites.

#I'm sorry i cant be of more help #hm. that seems to be my general feeling these days #palestine

when convention and science offer us no answers, might we not finally turn to the fantastic as a plausibility?
