The Labour of Love exhibition explores Palestinian embroidery (tatreez) through the lenses of gender, class, labour market dynamics, and its resulting commodification. It traces tatreez’s shift from an individual practice, made with love, to a national symbol, to a product circulating in global markets.

Through VR technology, the Palestinian Museum has created a virtual tour through a narration of two stories inspired by the exhibition: Embroidered heritage dresses (thobes) of the First Intifada, and tatreez as practised by those imprisoned by the Occupation. The virtual tour will allow the exploration of Palestine’s history and culture in an interactive innovative manner.

VR equipment will be available on-site. All that’s left for you to do is to attend . There you’ll be given a pair of 3D glasses and take a unique journey exploring the Palestinian Museum’s Labour of Love exhibition
