Sharing a collaborative project for any embroiderers interested in honoring and memorializing Palestinians killed in the Israel U.S. Euro genocide this last year.
Currently, 138 people in various countries have stitched just over 25,000 names. The project is, sadly, ongoing and welcomes more people to join.

As of Oct 24, Israel has wiped out 902 entire families, erasing them from the civil registry. This means every single one of their members was killed over the past year. The Al-Astal family has lost 225 family members, three of whom are stitched on my panel: Ahmed Abdulhamid Ahmed Al-Astal (19), Muhammad Abdulhamid Ahmed Al-Astal (17), and Ahmed Abdulkarim Abdulmajeed Al-Astal (25).
Every life, a universe.
In a world that reduces profound loss to mere statistics and inaccurate numbers, we affirm the humanity and individuality of every person whose life was so brutally stolen and desecrated.
By stitching each name with slow, deliberate care, we create a communal space for grief, remembrance, mourning and bearing witness, affording each victim the dignity of time and reflection.
Encouraged & focused listening to Let This Radicalize You while nearing the end of this collaborative #embroidery project commemorating Palestinians killed this last year.
Ch.8 examines collective memorialization as a way to resist normalization of mass death.
While recognizing that memorialization alone can sometimes be politically timid, the authors assert that the expression of grief through art and stories is not only powerful but essential, particularly in an era of violent erasure.
