The power of a pattern. What design can teach us about culture
Material Power: Palestinian Embroidery, will explore the historical life and contemporary significance of the Palestinian embroidered dress.
Although an ancient craft, embroidery remains the paradigmatic cultural material of Palestine today and its most prominent living tradition.
This exhibition will be held Friday 24 November 2023 – 7th April 2024 at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Oxford Road, Manchester.
Apparently, the Palestinian dress differs from one region to another and according to the occasion on which the dress is worn. In the north where wheat is grown, ears of corn were the most important characteristic of the dresses.
In Hebron and Bethlehem, the trend was grape drawings. The color and inscriptions of the dresses differed depending on the occasion. At weddings, dresses differed from casual, everyday ones. Widows wore different dresses as well.
In 2022, Maha el-Saca, a researcher at the Palestinian Heritage Center, explained to Al-Monitor that Palestinians also recognize the cities or villages of women from their dresses.
"The Jaffa dress is embroidered in the form of oranges and the cypress trees that surrounded it, while the Canaanite dress in Jericho had geometric drawings."
According to Marwan Abu Khalaf, a researcher of Palestinian heritage at Inaash Al-Usra Association, Palestinian embroidery was implicitly known to be Palestinian and incorporates "decorations and drawings dating back to the Canaanite era 3,000 years ago."

89 Organizations denounce Turkey’s Repeated Water cut to Hundreds of Thousands of People in Syria’s North East
For the eighth time, Turkey and affiliated local councils use water to blackmail in COVID-19 pandemic
On 13 August 2020, Turkish forces turned off the Alok water pumping station, under their control, to hundreds of thousands of people in northeastern Syria, just as they did earlier repeatedly in March, April and July and that was also followed by a frequent lack of water pumping.
The Alok water pumping station, which is located east of the city of Ras al-Ayn/Serê Kaniyê and has 30 wells, which can pump up to 175.000 cubic meters per day, supplies drinkable water to around 800.000 people besides being the main source to fill the tanker trucks that carry water to the makeshift camps of al-Hawl, al-Areesha (or al-Sadd) and Washo Kani (or al-Twaina), according to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Sporadic water cut forced the population of Syria’s north east to rely on unsafe alternatives, endangering their lives on top of their fight against COVID-19, that has infected 280 and killed 17 in northeastern Syria so far, according to the last update by the health authority of the Autonomous Administration on 20 August 2020. Suspending the Alok water station puts the lives of hundreds of thousands of people at risk, since washing hands with water and soup is essential to protect themselves against the pandemic.
Turkey and affiliated local councils claim that the forces in control of the Tishrin Dam interrupted power to the Alok water station causing its stop. However, that was refuted by observatory impartial organizations, among them the Human Rights Watch (HRW), which confirmed in a report that the Mabrouka power station does not supply the Alok pumping station and that the latter has alternative power sources enough to operate it.
Signatories of this statement condemn the repeated suspensions of the Alok water pumping station by Turkey and associated local councils, who continue to use it to blackmail. We also would like to recall that this deliberate denial of water to the population is a flagrant violation to their basic right to access clean water and to the international humanitarian law; it also constitutes a war crime,
Accordingly, the signatories of this statement call on the United Nations (UN), the Security Council, the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nation International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the United States Government, the European Union, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to:
Pressure Turkey and affiliated local councils to resume the Alok water station urgently and immediately, and ensure that there would be no repetition of such cuts under any pretext.
Neutralize the Alok water station from political and military conflicts by suspending Turkey and other parties from using it to blackmail, and to hire a specialized and independent management team to run it under international supervision and control.
Ensure that all population in Syria’s north east benefit from water and other natural resources fairly and equitably without discrimination of any kind, under impartial international supervision.
Investigate into the repeated water cuts transparently and independently, and thus hold those involved accountable whoever they were.

Mona Hatoum with Inaash, 12 Windows, 2012-13
Inaash, the Association for the Development of Palestinian Camps, is an NGO founded in the late 1960s by a group of Lebanese and Palestinian women. Its goal is twofold: to preserve the heritage of traditional Palestinian embroidery, and to provide financial support for Palestinian refugee families in Lebanon. From the Inaash website (linked above):
12 Windows... is intended to encapsulate the story of Palestine. The culmination of over 40 years of dedicated research and design by Malak Abdulrahim, the 1.0 meter square panels were meticulously embroidered by Inaash's most experienced craftswomen. Seen together, the twelve panels form a symbolic map of Palestine. Through the accurate selection of specific motifs, stitches and patterns, each window represents a key region: upper and lower Galilee, Jaffa, Ramallah, Bethlehem and Jerusalem, Hebron, coastal and central Gaza and Beersheba in southern Palestine. Together they create a wonderfully vibrant insight into a now dispersed society
