Beyond the Letters

Exhibition

Beyond the Letters explores the hidden dimensions of Arabic and Persian typography. By delving into the historical, geographical, spiritual, mystical, and performative contexts of the script, the exhibition challenges the influence of Western-centric approaches to design discourse and practice.

The exhibition presents a fresh perspective on contemporary design from the MENASA region that is disentangled from commercial and capitalist systems and honors traditional practices and heritage that are often marginalized or misunderstood. It emphasizes the interconnectivity and relationality of typography as a symbolic representation of language and its complex and networked attachment to existential and experiential modes of being and knowing.
