Spreading culture, one pattern at a time
Coloring Palestine was born from a belief that culture should be experienced, not just read about. We're Palestinian, and like many Palestinians we've lived all over the world, from Kuwait and Greece to Canada and Dubai. Wherever we went, we carried our culture with us. Coloring Palestine is how we share it.
From our base in Dubai we create coloring books that celebrate Palestinian heritage through tatreez (cross-stitch embroidery), ceramics and cultural illustrations. When someone colors a tatreez pattern, they're tracing the same geometric logic Palestinian grandmothers have stitched for centuries.
There are thousands of generic mandala and animal coloring books. None of them carry real cultural meaning. Ours do, because every pattern comes from a living tradition.
