About

Tatreez Garden is an AI image generator trained on a curated dataset of Palestinian embroidery interwoven with plants significant to Palestinian ecology, culture, and diet.

A form of embroidery traditionally crafted by Palestinian women for thousands of years, Tatreez is a wearable art form representing identity, resistance, connection to land, and cultural memory.

Bringing together feminist craft, ecology, and embodiment, the project reinterprets traditional cross-stitch patterns with generative AI to explore collective memory, diasporic ties to place, and the continuity of Palestinian culture and identity across time and space. Users participate in this evolving archive, reaffirming Palestinian futurities in connection with land, craft, community, and heritage.
