April 6-22. Timings 9am-2pm and 7pm-9pm.
Golnaz Fathi first encountered calligraphy while studying graphic design at Azad University in Tehran. Recognizing her passion for the art form, she went on to pursue her calling at The Calligraphy Association of Iran.
Her relentless devotion earned her an award for Ketabat (a specific genre of calligraphy) – she was the first woman to have ever received such an award.
Tiring of the austerity inherent to the discipline, she began to experiment with new means of self expression. Thus, her new style was borne.
Characterized by bold colors juxtaposed to the thick black strokes that comprise her profound text, Fathi’s work expresses emotions so strong they defy traditional language.
