Rare books and abstract calligraphy: Qatar’s unique literary scene
Get lost in a library of rare books from as early as the 15th century and follow the elegant brushstrokes of Arabic calligraphy with an abstract twist.
In this episode, the Qatar 365 team looks at literature through a creative lens. Laila Humairah sits down with a cartoonist to learn how to tell a story through imagery and visits Doha’s Museum of Islamic Art to get a sneak peek at a collection of rare books. Johanna Hoes meets two innovators in the field of calligraphy, whose modern take on the millennia-old art of writing makes the traditional practice of painting with words fit for the 21st century.
