Coaster set (At the Seams)

Each set has four coasters featuring details of four dresses: Bedouin dress, Everyday thobe, Intifada dress, and a jellaye from Galilee. Inspired by our At the Seams: A Political History of Palestinian Embroidery exhibition which casts a critical eye on the role of embroidery in shaping historic and contemporary Palestinian politics and culture. The exhibition explores the history if embroidery beyond 1948, exploring its role in nationalism, resistance and the practice of Palestinian identity.
