Bita Ghezelayagh @ Richard Saltoun Gallery

Drawing inspiration from Umberto Eco’s essay on handwriting, The Resistance of Pen and Paper brings together a group of artists from North Africa, the Middle East and Israel, who use calligraphy and written language to reflect on issues around identity, gender politics, cultural heritage and displacement. The artists included in the exhibition are: Nasrollah AFJEI, Maliheh AFNAN (1935 – 2016), Bita GHEZELAYAGH, Fathi HASSAN, Huda LUTFI and Shirin NESHAT.
