SUMMARY:Writing Between Tongues: An Exploration of Hebrew and Arabic Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:Writing Between Tongues:\nAn Exploration of Hebrew and Arabic Calligraphy \nIn this interactive session and virtual gallery tour\, we will dive into the rich visual worlds of Arabic and Hebrew calligraphy.\nThrough historical\, spiritual\, linguistic and artistic lenses\, we will discover the parallels between both languages. Educator\, community organizer\, and artist Ruben Shimonov will take us on an exploratory journey of his multilingual calligraphy and the ways he has used his art to enrich Muslim-Jewish interfaith communities.\nWe will end the session with a live calligraphy demonstration.  \nThursday\, 17 December at 12:00PM EDT \nBorn in Uzbekistan\, raised in Seattle\, and currently based in New York City\, Ruben Shimonov is a Jewish educator\, community builder\, social entrepreneur and artist with a passion for Jewish diversity and pluralism.
