Spend an evening in the Textile Museum’s auditorum as we watch a private screening of Stitching Palestine, by Carol Mansour.

This documentary follows twelve Palestinian women as they share their life before the Diaspora, their memories, lives and identity; all connected by the enduring thread of embroidery.

Resilient, determined and articulate women from disparate walks of life stitch together the story of their homeland, their dispossession, and their unwavering determination that justice will prevail. The individual weaves into the collective, yet remaining distinctly personal portraying a land whose position was fixed on the map of the world, and is now embroidered on its face.

Carol Mansour is an independent documentary filmmaker. She founded Forward Film Production in 2000 in Beirut, Lebanon. With over 25 years in documentary production, Mansour achieved international recognition and honor for her films, with over fifty film festival screenings and official selections worldwide.

Tickets to this screening include one slice of pizza from Levant Pizza. Please select your option of pizza slice when reserving your ticket.

For any questions or accessibility accommodations, please contact Isabelle Sain (isain@textilemuseum.ca).
