In an effort to document the Palestinian heritage, the Palestinian Heritage Center in Jordan organizes its exhibition every year with a new title that carries a message.. Its title this year will be: “A Palestinian Story.”
The head of the center, Maryam Jaber, said: "We chose this title based on the recent events that we witnessed in Palestine, in terms of suffering, to narrate and shed light on them through the heroes we chose, led by the journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh."
She added: "They also chose prisoners, martyrs and mothers of martyrs whose stories represent the daily suffering of the Palestinian people, for the world to watch and not forget."
The center displayed the pictures of the heroes they chose to tell the "Palestinian story" in the exhibition, and talked about their suffering.
The Palestinian Heritage Center, in cooperation with the Embassy of the State of Palestine in Amman and the Jordanian Construction Contractors Association, organized its 12th exhibition of handicrafts and heritage products over the past three days.
The exhibition included a variety of Palestinian heritage and products, including various traditional embroideries, ceramics, woodwork, and popular Palestinian foods.
Maryam Jaber explained: "In light of the continuous attempts of the occupation to rob the heritage and attribute it to it, we were able two years ago to document Palestinian embroidery on the World Heritage List, and we will endeavor as much as possible to preserve the heritage."
She pointed out that he works in the Palestinian Heritage Center, which includes 50 volunteer women, women from the Palestinian camps in the Kingdom, who work as embroiderers and ceramics, in addition to the productive kitchen of Palestinian popular foods.
She noted that the goal of employing women of all ages is to empower women economically and socially to be able to support themselves and their families.
She stated that the Palestinian Heritage Center does not accept donations, but rather covers its costs by selling Palestinian products produced by women.
The center began holding its annual exhibition in Amman since 2010, and one of its most important goals, according to their Facebook page, is social solidarity, as the center provides in-kind and financial assistance to many families, after a careful study of their conditions by a special committee.
