Calligraphy at EXPO 2020 Dubai

The biggest calligraphy project I made in 2021,
Two live calligraphy events at EXPO 2020 Dubai in the Syrian pavilion on the 14th and 19th of November.
I made a big wall filled with calligraphy, two canvases and sessions to customize the guests' items and give some souvenirs.
On the 14th of November as part of Syrian national day at EXPO 2020 Dubai, I had a calligraphy section inside the Syrian pavilion to do a live calligraphy show, customize the guests' items and give some souvenirs.

Giving personalized postcards with calligraphy of the guest's name in Arabic letters as a souvenir.
This was the biggest calligraphy I made in Expo 2020 Dubai, 
a 350 * 250 cm wall inside the Syrian pavilion was filled with calligraphy during the whole day as a live calligraphy show so guests can see it getting filled with calligraphy throughout the day.
Inside the quarter of the circle between the two red lines I wrote "peace it is until the end of dawn".
Throughout the two events, I had a couple of customizing sessions to customize the guests' items with calligraphy and give them a contemporary touch.
the guests really loved these sessions so we kept doing it.
I did all kinds of stuff, bags, jackets, mobile covers, T-shirts...

During these two events, I made two 180 * 150 cm canvases as a live show, so the guests can see the calligraphy progress over time.
It was really great having guests from all over the world coming to the events, enjoying the calligraphy,
I enjoyed talking to people about calligraphy and getting their feedback and impression about the work.
Thank you all for the amazing support! it means a lot.
