Join us for a special showcase with calligrapher Mariam Lodin, who will guide attendees through the evolution, methodology, and enduring beauty of this centuries-old art form. The session offers a technical look at the scripts that have shaped Arabic heritage, from their historical roots to the disciplined craft behind every stroke.
