Nowruz Persian Calligraphy Workshop

​Nowruz Persian Calligraphy Workshop

​Sunday, March 29th, 2-5 p.m.• Feldman’s Book

​Join us on Sunday, March 29th from 2–5pm for a Persian Calligraphy Workshop led by Rezvan Rasouli, with the presence of master calligrapher Dr. Ali Akbarisehat from Stanford Medicine.

​Rezvan is an interdisciplinary artist working across new media, film, and drawing. A graduate of Columbia College Chicago’s MFA program in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media, her practice brings together visual poetry, gesture, and tradition in a living exploration of form.

​This special afternoon gathering invites guests in celebration of Nowruz, the Persian New Year and the arrival of spring. At the center of the shop, a ceremonial table will be arranged in the spirit of the Haft-Seen—an altar adorned with symbolic objects including garlic, apples, eggs, coins, candles, hyacinth, sumac, vinegar, oleaster, and the poetry of Hafez.

​More than a workshop, this gathering is an invitation: to slow down, to write, and to enter into the ancient dignity of Persian calligraphy as both art and ritual. Together, we honor not only the turning of the season, but a cultural tradition that continues to shape beauty, meaning, and memory across generations. Feel free to bring your favorite paper.

​Donations are warmly welcomed. Learn more about Rezvan’s work at her website: https://rezvanrasouli.com/
