  • The Independent Personal1ty of the Palestinians*
    THE INDEPENDENT PERSONAL1TY OF THE PALESTINIANS* Türkkaya ATAÖV The exodus and the dispersal of the Palestinian people af- ter the occupation of their land by the racist Zionist entity could not hinder the tradition of national expression. This expression, linked to the national question, was even developed as a reaction to foreign invasion. No doubt, the Palestinian armed struggle, follovving the Israeli attack in 1967, has caused an explosion of a potential energy not only in terms of military force, but in the realm of culture and arts. Palestinian culture, in the form of poetry, folk tales, popular singing, dancing, national costumes, embroidery, ceramics, carving, glass and metal work or various other forms of expression, is the vivid proof of the existence of a homeland and a people's yearning for it. The Palestinian masses, under occupation or in exile, are gathering, safeguarding and developing their ovvn culture, knowing ful 1 well that the preservation of culture is an effective vvay of resistance to attempts undermining national consciousness. The Zionist entity has not only looted the land of the Palestini- ans, but is also suppressing their culture and what is more,trying to usurpe it from them. But the Palestinians are engaged in a struggle to obtain recognition of their independent personality and existence. In spite of Zionist aggression, the ı oots of a peop- le, deep in the Palestinian soil, cannot be erased. * The Palestinians were avvare of the dangers posed by Zio- nist immigration, much earlier than generally accepted. Throug- hout many centuries, the Holy Land prospered under the tolerant rule of Arab and Ottoman Turkish sovereigns, who safeguarded * This paper was prepared for an international conference in Baghdad (Iraq) in 1979.

    TORANS There are several sources for buying torans. Traditions in downtown Olympia sometimes has them and most belly dance events that have vendors will have some for sale. Some of them don’t have very many mirrors. Also Mas Uda has a “home made pattern for making the torans, as the “ready mades” don’t fit some dancers well. Making “Shisha “ 1. Make a straight stitch across one side of the mirror bring your needle up a little above the mirror and make another straight stitch down one side. 2. Work a "square" of straight stitches then another "square" on top, in the same way, but across the corners of the previous square. These foundation stitches need to be tight, and not too close to the edge of the mirror - work into these, and they will pull outwards; too loose or too near the edge, and the mirror will not be held securely. 3. Bring your needle up next to the mirror (anywhere) pass it under the foundation stitches, keeping the thread under the point of the needle (as though it were a blanket stitch). Pull tight. 4. Make a small stitch into the fabric, alongside the mirror, again keeping the thread under the needle (like a chain stitch). 5. Pass the needle under the foundation threads (remember to keep the thread under the needle). 6. Make another small stitch into the fabric, inserting the needle into the previous "chain" stitch. Repeat steps 5 and 6 all round the mirror, then finish thread securely on the back. Most people work clockwise around the mirror, as shown here.

  • Razzle-Dazzle: the Language of Ornament in Asian Costume and Textiles, June 16, 2006-October 15, 2006
    Razzle-Dazzle: The Language of Ornament in Asian Costume and Textiles, June 16, 2006-October 15, 2006 Shells, mirrors, beads, seeds, metal disks, coins, sequins, feathers; these are only some of the items that have been used to make clothing and textiles jingle, sparkle, and jiggle. Throughout time, all over the world, in every society, humans have embellished their clothing in ways that signal status and religion or serve as talismanic, flirtatious, or protective charms. These days, many Westerners have lost touch with the symbolic power of ornament applied to apparel, dismissing such adornment as superficial, artificial, and even disingenuous. The group of objects in this exhibition spanning the Asian world reminds viewers of the pleasure and meaning that such materials may convey. The English word "ornament" derives from the Latin ornare, meaning "to equip, get ready, or fit out." Some have pushed this definition one step further, suggesting that the term also expresses completion. Although not a structural necessity, ornament makes an object whole. How differently might we look upon certain articles in this gallery if they did not include gold for its inherent wealth and homage to hierarchy, purity, and indestructibility; silver, metal, and sequins for their associations with prosperity and protection; mirrors for their power to ward off malevolence; beads and seeds for their correlations with fortune, resiliency, and fertility; and feathers for their regal connotations? Lacking such accoutrements, these textiles would take on another function, causing the wearer to behave in another fashion and the beholders to interpret the behavior in other ways. The thread of meaning would dissolve.
