CHAPTER 4

Killing Socrates

KILLING SOCRATES

ACTS OF REMEMBERING

The Levant is rich in its tradition of embroidery. Practised by women who wove complex motifs especially onto their wedding dresses, their choice of embroidery and thread colour was deeply rooted in local symbolism.

Embroidery patterns carry cultural identity, memory and oral history. This pattern is based on an embroidery from Jaffa, Hebron and Gaza.

In Jaffa, it was called the Almond Branch; in Hebron and Gaza it was called Dumo, Arabic for Tears. With it, we remember culture even with the pain and trauma being experienced by many in the Levant.

Beauty and resilience flourish in hardship. Silk rooted in history. Where to, from here?
