Wear Your Keffiyeh In Public #
The Keffiyeh (AKA the “kuffiyeh”, “kufiya” “shemagh” and “hatta”) is a traditional Arabic scarf that holds significant symbolic value as a marker of resistance, self-determination, and justice for Palestinians.
Originally popular amongst farmers as a form of sun protection, and again amongst Palestinians of all classes during the 1930s Arab Revolt, wearing the keffiyeh has come to be seen as an unspoken expression of sovereignty and solidarity with the Palestinian cause.2 Wear it to class, on campus, at your workplaces, or in any social setting!
What Is The Symbolism Of The Keffiyeh Pattern? #
Image description: A picture of a black-and-white keffiyeh folded into a square. Labels with red arrows point to different parts of the pattern. Text reading “Olive Leaves: Perseverance, strength and resilience” points to a leaf pattern along the edge of the fabric. Text reading “Bold Routes: Trade routes of natural & cultural merchant exchange” points to a solid line pattern bordering the olive leaves. Text reading “Fishnets: Palestinian sailors and the Mediterranean sea” points towards a fishnet pattern making up the majority of the keffiyeh.
The distinctive pattern of the keffiyeh combines three elements. First, the olive-leaves pattern represents perseverance, strength, and resilience. Second, the bold line pattern represents historical trade routes and cultural exchange. Finally, the fishnet pattern represents Palestinian fishers and the people’s connection to the Mediterranean.3
Can Non-Arabs Wear The Keffiyeh? #
Anyone in support of the Palestinian cause may wear the keffiyeh in solidarity. However, it is important that when wearing the keffiyeh, ‘one makes an effort to learn its symbolism and show appreciation for the Palestinian culture and cause. Otherwise, wearing the headscarf simply as a fashion statement can be considered cultural appropriation.’4
Where Can I Order My Own Keffiyeh? #
When purchasing a keffiyeh, you should try to buy one from a Palestinian or Arab-owned company. If you are unable to, make sure to research the company you are buying from, and ensure that they are donating their profits towards supporting Palestine or Palestinian organisations.
