October, 2017. Our class was so lucky as to get a personalized calligrapy workshop from Karim Jabbari during his visit to Yale.

These pictures are sapects of the workshop.

Karim Jabbari, a Tunisian calligraffiti and light artist, is considered one of the most
respected light calligraffiti artists in the world. Karim began his artistic journey at
the tender age of twelve. A difficult childhood was made easier through the power of
calligraphy, allowing him to express what he could not in words. Later in life and far from
home, calligraphy became a reminder of where he came from and what he left behind. His
love for the Arabic language intensified as he began to delve deeper into its beautiful letters,
words, and syllables.
