ISLAMABAD: Adviser to Prime Minister on National History and Literary Heritage (NH&LH), Irfan Siddiqui said on Friday that the upcoming International calligraphy exhibition would serve as catalyst to promote Islamic legacy and foster unity and solidarity in the Muslim world. The four-day International Calligraphy Exhibition is being arranged by NHLH Division in collaboration with Islamic History, Arts and Culture (IRCICA), Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) from August 25 to commemorate 70th Independence Day celebrations. Irfan Siddiqui said this exhibition would provide a platform to the young as well as professional calligraphers from across the country to showcase their innovative work and learn from the experiences of the renowned calligraphers from various countries. Speaking during a meeting held at the division to review arrangements for the exhibition, Siddiqui directed the officials to make all arrangements for the exhibition. He said that earlier a national calligraphy exhibition was arranged by the division with the title `Noon Walqalam’ which had received overwhelming response from the calligraphy artists and youth. The participation of prominent calligraphers from across the country and abroad will give an opportunity to the young and professional artists to interact, share their skills and learn from each other’s experience, he added. This exhibition will also help revive the urge in youth to learn this glorious art which was diminishing in presence of modern technology, he said. He was briefed about the arrangements of the exhibition by the officials. The meeting was attended by federal secretary for NHLH Division Aamir Hasan. Published in Daily Times, July 22nd , 2017.
