Speaking a little Portuguese, Rahaf talked to ANBA on the phone. \u201cI learned to embroider with my mother. It\u2019s an Arab work, but mine is more typical from Palestine,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She said that the tradition started with her grandparents. In Syria, Rahaf used to embroider to make gifts to her family and friends. She explains that it is a difficult craft, that few people make as it is very painstaking.<\/p>\n
Her project can be found on Facebook<\/a> as Artes do Patrim\u00f4nio and Instagram<\/a> as Yafa Artes 1904. \u201cI put the name of my daughter, Yafa, which is also the name of a Palestinian city,\u201d she said. The number refers to her daughter\u2019s birthday, April 19.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Palestinian embroidery art is considered an important folk tradition passed on through the generations and a symbol of the Palestinian identity, an art that is still strong among the Palestinians,\u201d says her Facebook page.<\/p>\n Rahaf lives in the neighborhood of Bela Vista with her husband, daughter and mother-in law and says that she likes S\u00e3o Paulo, as it is a beautiful big city. She said that she hadn\u2019t been working since arriving in Brazil, and that is why she started this project.<\/p>\n The key chains and page markers cost BRL 15 each, or three for BRL 40. The prices of the purses range from BRL 40 to 200, depending on the size. The baby shower souvenirs are BRL 10 each. Rahaf herself delivers in S\u00e3o Paulo and ships her products across Brazil.<\/p>\n Quick Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n Yafa Artes \u2013 Artes do Patrim\u00f4nio Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n
