Threads of solidarity
Dear reader,
Hello! Hope you are doing well. I am writing to tell you about something we are doing and also to invite you.
So a weekend ago, we met in Bandra to honour the memory and lives of Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7. We used medical gauze, some white cotton cloth and embroidered the names in the colours of the Palestinian flags.

We are making a digital tapestry with the names of the slain Palestinian folks. And if you’d like to embroider a name, please write to us. We will send you some instructions and a name to embroider. Our email is threadsofsolidarity@gmail.com

Hi Indu,
I heard about this yesterday and just read your post. This is such a lovely and impactful gesture, thank you for opening it up to people all over.
Will the embroidered names be part of a collage for which we will have to send in our embroidered bit, or does it work as a personal keepsake?
Hello! Thank you so much for doing this. I would love to try my hand at the embroidery too, please. Would you like me to send you an email to sign up?
