Join master calligrapher Haji Noor Deen Mi Guangjiang 米广江 (b.1963) for a lecture, demonstration, and mini-workshop exploring the artistic convergence of Arabic and Chinese calligraphic traditions.

This session begins with a brief lecture, followed by hands-on art-making. Participants can join at any time, but capacity is limited. A selection of Haji Noor Deen’s works will also be on display.

Haji Noor Deen is the first Chinese person to have received certification, or ijaza, in the Thuluth and Naskh Arabic calligraphic scripts of the Ottoman tradition, after extensive training with renowned Turkish calligrapher Hasan Çelebi. He has gone on to develop his own unique style, known as Ṣīnī (literally, “Chinese” in Arabic) which incorporates both Chinese and Arabic calligraphic elements to elaborate a Chinese Islamic calligraphic form for the Arabic script.
