Fez International Festival of the Arabic Calligraphy Art and Ornamentation in its 7th Edition

Under the theme “heritage”, Fez International Festival of the Arabic Calligraphy Art and Ornamentation aimed in its 7th edition at introducing the Fatimid Kufic as well as exploring the intricacies of the Maghreb Kufic Scripts (notably Almoravid Kufic, Marinid Kufic, Alawite Kufic). The event proved to be a huge success with its various workshops ranging from exploring the Maghreb Andalusian, Almoravid and Qu’anic Kufic scripts to more advanced workshops unravelling Moroccan Style ornamentation with its various forms and shapes.

Celebrated Under the Theme “Stations”

Dr. Mohammed Al-Meghraoui, the general coordinator of presentations and workshops, will be supervising this year’s festival. Celebrated under the theme “stations”, this special occasion is the meeting point of a handful selection of contributors who spared no expense elevating this art form. Be it calligraphers, decorators, teachers, researchers or theorists, the festival is a middle ground to a variety of artists from all around the globe with one aim: “to create and preserve heritage”.

Cameleon: Non-Profit Organization of Plastic Arts and Arabic Calligraphy

The activities of Fez International Festival of the Arabic Calligraphy Art and Ornamentation will kick off next month and close to an end on the 3rd of September. The current edition, celebrated under the theme “stations” as stated earlier, is a marker of a prosperous beginning and a new station to the non-profit organization Cameleon of Plastic Arts and Arabic Calligraphy, which has so generously undertaken the initiative to run the festival and bring talented individuals together.

Fez International Festival of the Arabic Calligraphy Art and Ornamentation: Special Workshops

The festival marks its commencement with a workshop titled “Stations of Maghrebi Calligraphy” led by the honoured guests Dr. Mohammed El-Maghraoui, Dr. Rachidz Eddimassi, Dr. Abdellah Ftini, and Dr. Fouzia Adnan. The 8th edition of the festival aims to introduce the Maghrebi Kufic Script and explore the historical stations of Maghrebi calligraphy as follows:

Fez International Festival of the Arabic Calligraphy Art and Ornamentation: Cultural Significance

This yearly held festival pays homage to the distinctive aesthetics of the Maghrebian Kufic Calligraphy. Being organized in Fez, that is home to various ancient schools, such as Al-Attarine Madrasa and the Bou Inania Madrasa, holds a historical significance unmatched anywhere else in the world. Admittedly, the festival brings together the rich Arab culture and its notably obliterating heritage in an attempt to preserve the intricacies of the Arab world from diminishing.
