SUMMARY:Speaker Series :: Rasha Abu Ramadan :: Threads of Her Story: Women\, Identity and the Art of Tatreez
DESCRIPTION:Rasha Abu Ramadan has practiced Palestinian tatreez (meaning “embroidery\,” in Arabic) since she was a young girl\, embodying a deep connection to her cultural heritage. \n  \nNovember 16\, 2025 :: Zoom Webinar \n4:30 pm Newfoundland Time :: 4 pm Atlantic Time :: 3 pm Eastern Time :: 2 pm Central Time :: 1 pm Mountain Time :: noon Pacific Time \n \n\nMembers\, please log in to My EAC/Mon ACB to access the registration code for Zoom. \n\n \n  \nIf you’re not a member yet\, you can purchase a virtual seat.\n \nWith the support of CPSA London\, Rasha established the Palestinian Tatreez Club in London\, Ontario\, where she held weekly sessions to teach others the art of tatreez and pass down its cultural and historical significance. \nRasha led the “Threads of Diaspora” project\, collaborating with the Canadian Palestinian Social Association in London and the Canada Palestine Cultural Association in Edmonton on the London edition of the initial project. This tatreez community initiative resulted in the creation of 120 pieces of collective artwork to be added to the Edmonton tapestry\, involving the participation of 22 women from diverse cultural backgrounds. It worked closely with skilled Palestinian designers in the community to celebrate and preserve this traditional craft. This beautiful tapestry has been featured on CBC. \nRasha continues to support charitable causes\, notably raising funds for organizations such as Glia\, a medical solidarity organization that empowers low-resource communities to build sustainable\, locally driven healthcare projects. \nMost recently\, she was invited as a guest lecturer at King’s College\, where she presented on Palestinian tatreez and its significance as a form of resistance\, sharing its stories and legacy with a wider audience. \nRasha is a proud Palestinian-Canadian living in London\, Ontario.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series :: Yvette Stanton :: 5 Minutes to Midnight
DESCRIPTION:Documenting Historical Needlework Skills to Preserve Cultural Heritage Before it is Too Late\nSunday\, February 22\, 2026 :: Zoom Webinar \n6:00 pm Newfoundland Time :: 5:30 pm Atlantic Time :: 4:30 pm Eastern Time :: 3:30 pm Central Time :: 2:30 pm Mountain Time :: 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time \n \nIn this talk\, Yvette will explain the urgency to document historical needlework skills before they die out. In many places around the world\, the cultural custodians of traditional embroidery styles are disappearing. At the same time\, younger generations within these cultural groups often have different priorities and do not take the opportunity to learn skills from their elders before those elders are no longer with them. We are at a point where it will soon be too late to preserve many historical and regional needlework styles. \n
