Iranian artist Golnaz Fathi's exhibition at the La Fontaine Centre of Contemporary Art in Manama will open tomorrow [today, Thursday the 15th] at 6pm.
The work of this well-known artist has been exhibited extensively in many museums and galleries throughout the Middle East, the US and Europe - including the British Museum in London - over the last decade.
Inspired by Iranian cultural heritage, Persian traditional calligraphy and poetry like those written by Nizar Qabbani, the great Syrian poet who wrote extensively on womanhood, Golnaz's passion gave her the dedication to practice her skill for up to seven hours a day. This degree of commitment was rewarded with the prestigious award for Best Woman Calligraphist in the Ketabat style.
The exhibition will be held until April 26 and is open to all from 10am-1pm and from 4pm-7pm, Saturdays to Thursdays.
Meanwhile, La Fontaine, in association with Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, is presenting a night of authentic Sufi music with Salar Aghili on March 21.
Sufi music has retained a unique emotional authenticity, which derives from its mystical heritage and inspiration.
When expressed through the medium of Salar Aghili's rare and practised vocal technique, it engages all our senses and carries our imagination off to a bygone age of heroic chivalry.
