Please join us for a special presentation and demonstration with Behnaz Karjoo, an Iranian-American artist specializing in the classical arts of Islamic illumination (tazhib), miniature painting, and square Kufic calligraphy.

Born in Tehran, Iran, Karjoo trained under master artist Mujgan Baskoylu and received her ijazah (certificate of mastery) in illumination in 2016. Her work has been exhibited internationally, and through lectures and workshops she introduces audiences to the rich traditions and evolving possibilities of these timeless art forms.

This event offers a unique opportunity to experience the intricate techniques, history, and contemporary relevance of Islamic illuminated and miniature arts.

In partnership with Hatcher Library & Reed Society for the Sacred Arts.
