SUMMARY:Expert Talk: The Museum’s Palestinian Dress Collection
DESCRIPTION:Wafa Ghnaim is a Palestinian dress historian\, embroiderer\, researcher\, educator\, and the museum’s Curator. Drawing from the museum’s permanent collection\, she will present a selection of Palestinian dresses that illustrate the historical and cultural significance of textile traditions in the diaspora and their path to the Museum of the Palestinian People. In recognition of International Women’s Day\, Wafa will also examine the role of Palestinian women as cultural stewards\, analyzing how dressmaking and tatreez (Palestinian embroidery) function as acts of resistance against cultural erasure. Through this lens\, she will explore how embroidery preserves collective memory\, asserts self-determination\, and sustains Palestinian heritage in the face of ongoing dispossession.

SUMMARY:Family Mornings at the Museum: Featuring Rashida Tlaib's Book
DESCRIPTION:In honor of International Women’s Day\, join us for a special Family Morning at the Museum as we celebrate the inspiring story of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and her journey to Washington. We will read Mama in Congress: Rashida Tlaib’s Journey to Washington\, a powerful book that tells the story of how Rashida Tlaib became the first Palestinian-American woman elected to the U.S. Congress. Written by Tlaib herself\, along with Miranda Paul and Adam Tlaib\, and illustrated by Olivia Aserr\, the book emphasizes the importance of representation and the significance of Palestinian women in leadership roles. \nThrough this story\, we’ll explore themes of resilience\, identity\, and the transformative impact of having diverse voices in positions of power. This event will highlight the importance of representation in shaping a more inclusive future\, especially for Palestinian women and girls\, who often face barriers to being seen and heard. All ages are welcome to come together and celebrate the trailblazing path of Rashida Tlaib and the power of women in leadership.
