TALK | 'A Geometry of Arabic Letter Shapes as Receptacles of Divine Immanence' by Ahmad Moustafa

  • Dar El Nimer for Arts and Culture Clemenceau Bayrut, Beirut Governorate Lebanon (map)

The relationship between Arabic script and the divine is as old as the Qur’an itself. In this lecture, Ahmad Moustafa presents his book, The Cosmic Script, in which he argues for the presence of divine revelation in the very forms of Arabic letters, and for their organic connection to the shapes and proportion of the human body.

Ahmad Moustafa is an artist and academic researcher.
