The Looms We Resemble
Exhibition - Public Program
Storyteller, Sarah Abusarar will be accenting the exhibit by weaving Palestinian stories of long ago. The Palestinian traditional stories were told by women in the villages. It is a tradition that was passed down from generation to generation. Often the women would tell these stories while engaging in other folk art such as embroidery and weaving. Sometimes they would tell traditional stories and other times the women would share stories from their own lives as they wove. Sarah comes from one such family. She will be sharing stories that would have been told around the fire in her village Dura by her grandmothers and that she continues to tell in diaspora in order to preserve this ancient tradition.
