SUMMARY:Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF)
DESCRIPTION:The 43nd edition of SIBF promises to be the fair’s biggest edition ever\, claiming to show more than 1.5 million titles by 2\,500 publishing houses from 112 different countries. There will also be a packed 12-day agenda of more than 1\,350 activities – among them 47 live cookery demonstrations and no fewer than 600 workshops in creative writing for all age groups conducted in Arabic and English. \nAnd there’s the return of the third edition of the Thriller Festival show-within-the-show (7-10 November) organised in partnership with Thriller Festival NY and featuring authors such as Ahmed Mourad\, Amir Atef\, Yehia Safwat\, Saad Abed Al Badr\, Mohammed Al Nasser\, John J Nance\, Isabella Maldonado\, KJ Howe and Tess Gerritsen. There will be panel sessions\, workshops (including a three-dayer led by Ahmed Mourad on writing thrillers) and of course book signings. This segment is building into a successful event in its own right and surely deserves its own identity away from SIBF … \nSIBF runs 6 to 17 November\, open daily 10am to 10pm (Fridays 4pm to 11pm). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wissam Shawkat: Calligraformism
DESCRIPTION:The Iraqi artist and calligrapher introduces the latest examples of his signature style\, merging the beauty of classical Arabic scripts with modern design principles; Calligraforms transforms Thuluth script lettering into abstract\, fluid forms that are removed their textual meaning and presented as stand-alone visual elements. As he puts it\, “Each letter has a life and energy of its own. By magnifying their details and removing the constraints of the text\, I aim to reveal their hidden beauty.” \n“By blending the rich heritage of Arabic calligraphy with influences from modern European abstract movements like Cubism\, and Bauhaus\, Wissam creates a dialogue between the East and West\,” says the gallery. “Calligraformism is more than an art style; it is a philosophy\, an artistic movement\, that reflects Wissam’s desire to break the boundaries of classical calligraphy …” \nTo 11 December.
