Behind Thread Memory

Discover the story behind the exhibition

Our current exhibition Thread Memory: Embroidery from Palestine explores the history of Palestinian dress and the ancient practice of elaborate hand-embroidery known as tatreez.

In Behind Thread Memory, curators Rachel Dedman and Kirsty Hassard share insights into the development of the exhibition, its narrative and the personal stories behind the objects and their makers.

Joining them to reflect on the impact of the exhibition, both in Dundee and globally, is dress historian, author and activist Wafa Ghnaim.

This event is non-profit, with all proceeds ensuring that contributors are paid fairly.
