The Project

100 Palestinian Women is a community-based participatory art project that brings together 100 people to celebrate connection, culture, and joy. Centered on the shared practice of preparing Warak Dawali (grape leaves), the project creates space for storytelling, conversation, and collective care.

 

As daily life becomes increasingly demanding, time for community and cultural connection becomes harder to hold. This project honors women as caretakers and carriers of cultural memory, transforming a familiar tradition into a space for gathering and resiliance.

The Sessions

Five gatherings will take place at Bint Jamila's Table Studio, a Palestinian women-owned space in Milwaukee.

​

Each session welcomes participants to roll grape leaves together, share stories, and spend time in community. Whether you've rolled grape leaves for years or are learning for the first time, all levels of experience are welcome.​ Participants are welcome to leave with the grape leaves they prepared together.
