The city of Rabat will host the cultural activity from 24 to 26 April. Once upon a time in al-AndalusThe event, an initiative organised by the Passado Vivo Association and the Al Mada Foundation, with the collaboration of the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation and the support of the Spanish and Portuguese Embassies in Morocco. For three days, the headquarters of the Al Mada Foundation will become a space for meeting and dialogue on the rich Andalusian legacy and the historical, cultural and artistic exchanges that have united the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco over the centuries.
Within this framework, the Fundación Tres Culturas joins the initiative with two specific proposals. On the one hand, a Arabic calligraphy workshop which will allow participants to delve into one of the main pillars of classical Islamic art, learning the foundations of an aesthetic tradition that transcends language and becomes a spiritual and artistic expression.
In addition, the Foundation will present the conference entitled The art of calligraphy in medieval Islam, by the researcher Wallada Touriño Iglesias, which will take place on Thursday 24 April at 16:15. The speaker will address the role of calligraphy as a vehicle of knowledge, beauty and spirituality in the context of medieval Islam, with special attention to its development in al-Andalus.
