The story

International Festival of Calligraphy Algiers in Algiers

An international calligraphy festival in Algiers celebrating Arabic script traditions, from classical naskh, thuluth and diwani styles to contemporary experimental work, drawing practicing calligraphers from Algeria and abroad for exhibitions, live demonstrations and workshops in one of Islamic visual culture's most historically elevated art forms.

Arabic calligraphy occupies a particularly elevated position within Islamic visual culture, historically regarded as the preeminent art form given its direct connection to the written text of the Quran, and Algiers' international calligraphy festival gives this tradition, spanning classical scripts like naskh, thuluth and diwani alongside more contemporary and experimental calligraphic art, a dedicated international platform in the Algerian capital.
