Palestinian grandmothers once told folktales that planted imagination and resistance in children’s hearts.
These stories were not mere entertainment, but oral archives of identity, land, and memory.
Kan Ya Makan draws from this heritage, reviving folk imagination as a tool of resistance.
Each design is a scene that holds fragments of story, memory, and belonging.
The collection liberates imagination from imposed limits, transforming jewelry into living narratives.
It is not only adornment, but an act of artistic resistance.
Through it, memory is restored, imagination freed, and identity kept alive in continuity.
