Join us during Interfaith Week as we dive into the rich visual worlds of Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian calligraphy. Through historical, spiritual, linguistic and artistic lenses, we will discover the connections between these languages. Educator, community builder, and artist Ruben Shimonov will also take us on an exploratory journey of his own multilingual calligraphy—sharing the ways he has used his art to build Muslim-Jewish interfaith bridges and celebrate the cultural diversity of the Greater Sephardi world. Participants will then have the opportunity to engage with these languages through a hands-on calligraphy workshop.
Workshop limited to 30 participants. Please RSVP to reserve your spot. A temporary pop-up exhibit of Ruben's work will be on display during the event outside of Moffett for those who cannot attend the event.
Special thank you to the Tuohy Center for Interreligious Understanding at John Carroll University for partnering on this event!
Open to all Oberlin students
