IIIAC organises a calligraphy exhibition to promote the works of different artists.
Story so far: The Institute of Indo-Islamic Art and Culture (IIIAC) organised a three-day calligraphy exhibition for art enthusiasts in the city. The Multilingual Calligraphy Exhibition displayed the skills of several renowned calligraphers and calligraphy experts from India and beyond.
- There were workshops to explore the Khatt Diwani and Khatt Tulut scripts. Practitioners and experts from Sudan, Turkey, Iran, Japan, and other countries joined vernacular experts for panel discussions at the event.
- The panellists discussed calligraphy ethics and aesthetics, the transformation of calligraphy practices in India, and the prominence of calligraphy in West Asia.
Why it matters? Muqtar Ahmed, a calligrapher and the founder of IIIAC, revealed that the exhibition forged an assembly of calligraphers from different regions. The objective was to promote their work, facilitate interaction, and churn out a discussion on the art and practice of calligraphy.
