Artwork of the Month
About the Campaign
The Artwork of the Month campaign organised by The Bustan Khat presents the work of 12 local calligraphy artists practising the art of traditional Islamic calligraphy. Each month, an artwork will be featured alongside an introduction of the calligrapher and the rationale behind the artwork.
Themes
Throughout history, artists had utilised their art as an expression of adversity and as a vessel to mark the history of their time. Thus, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic that has created an unprecedented turn of events for everyone, our Artwork of the Month campaign aims to reflect the following themes:
- Community spirit/ communal strength
- Unity in overcoming adversity/hardship
- Faith in overcoming adversities/hardship
- Personal experiences/effects brought about by the pandemic.
