Who
Join us at for a special talk in the Kettle’s Yard house with Rachel Dedman, curator of our exhibition Material Power: Palestinian Embroidery. Rachel will trace the evolution of embroidered dress in Palestine over the last century: from embroidery’s historical traditions to its politicisation after 1948, its role in resistance and its significance today.
