Soraya Syed is a classically trained calligrapher, artist and filmmaker. She continually works to push the boundaries of what is expected from this traditional art form. She will tell you about her journey and how she pursued calligraphy and how the art of Islamic penmanship is a bridge between the spiritual and material, the visual and the verbal.
