Event:
Calligraphic Innovations
Unlike the predominantly traditional and ancestral exhibitions that only show the improvement of the Ottoman’s “Tajweed”, this exhibition comes as a pleasant opportunity to present Arabic calligraphy as an innovative and sophisticated art and to show that this art form doesn’t require a fancy cloak to acquire the status of modernity. Rather, it needs a conscious approach to its essence of beauty and structure, with the advance of a critical spirit with a liberal and creative imagination that transcends it into originality whose core threads are its aesthetic structure and the loom are the outlines that bring the arts together.
