UAE a global leader in preserving historic art of Arabic calligraphy
14 Aug 2025 00:25 AMEINAH ALZEYOUDI (ABU DHABI)Art as beautiful as Arabic calligraphy deserves the global spotlight, and the UAE has been at the forefront of keeping this ancient art form alive amid the rapid developments of the modern world. On World Calligraphy Day, marked every second Wednesday of August, Aletihad highlights the significance of this artistic expression as a cultural treasure for the UAE and the Arab world. Arabic calligraphy was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in December 2021, and the UAE is among the 16 countries that have made it happen. UNESCO described the art form as 'the artistic practice of handwriting Arabic script in a fluid manner to convey harmony, grace and beauty.''The fluidity of Arabic script offers infinite possibilities, even within a single word, as letters can be stretched and transformed in numerous ways to create different motifs,' it said. Arabic calligraphy is more than just a writing technique: its flowing lines, curves, and complex forms represent centuries of artistic tradition, as well as the richness and elegance of the was born out of Arab speakers' need to develop the language and create letters and shapes that capture 'the spirit and culture of Arab and Islamic societies,' Abu Dhabi Culture said in a primer on its website. 'Over time, as the importance of the Arabic language grew, specialised art forms and calligraphy schools were established with innovative curricula,' it added. At a time when most writing needs are met by tapping away on screens and keyboards, the UAE ensures there remains a permanent space for the art of putting ink on paper and turning Arabic script into a masterpiece. The UAE has established itself as a leader in preserving and advancing Arabic calligraphy through numerous initiatives – including exhibitions and festivals – within the country and beyond.'This has encouraged new developments and innovations in calligraphy and other arts,' Abu Dhabi Culture said. The Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi has been committed to supporting this art form since its early days. Through the years, it has organised events and activities that encourage development in the field. It has also set up a dedicated department for teaching the art. The Ministry of Culture, through awards like the prestigious Al Burda Award, has played a pivotal role in encouraging global participation and recognition of the organisations regularly hold workshops, competitions, and exhibitions, combining traditional techniques with modern resources. In 2023, more than 200 artists from around the world participated in the inaugural Dubai Calligraphy Biennale, which was organised by Dubai beauty and development of Arabic script in visual art were emphasised by exhibitions such as the 'History of Arabic Calligraphy in the UAE' at Al Shindagha Museum and the 'Light Lines' photography entities in the country also ensure the art form remains relevant through impactful discussions and open dialogues. The 2024 panel discussion 'Arabic Calligraphy: Between Creativity and Renewal' at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library was one such effort that brought together well-known calligraphers and artists. Arabic calligraphy has evolved through time, from the geometric Kufic script to the elegant, flowing Naskh, and contemporary freestyle typefaces. While maintaining the discipline and internal logic of the art form, artists today experiment with both traditional and digital forms, developing new designs for branding, book design, posters, and commercial use. By actively supporting and celebrating this heritage, the UAE has not only safeguarded Arabic calligraphy but also elevated it on the global stage, establishing itself as a vibrant centre for creatives, artists, and calligraphers from around the world.

Stephen Tobolowsky talks about ‘Freaky Friday' role
When Stephen Tobolowsky's team encouraged him to audition for a movie called 'Freaky Friday,' his first thought was 'Oh God, how low we have fallen.' The Dallas native and Southern Methodist University alumnus was fresh off a stint on Broadway with a Tony nomination for his role in 'Morning's at Seven' to show for it. That career high came after playing a slew of memorable characters — the oft-quoted, pestering Ned Ryerson in 1993's 'Groundhog Day,' a Ku Klux Klan leader in the 1988 thriller 'Mississippi Burning.' But Tobolowsky would change his mind about 'Freaky Friday,' the 2003 body-swap flick that became a cult classic, after reading its script. 'This is amazing,' he thought. Now, more than two decades later, he is reprising his role as the grumpy teacher Mr. Bates in the reboot 'Freakier Friday,' which again stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as mother and daughter. Ahead of the sequel's theatrical release on Aug. 8, Tobolowsky, 74, spoke with The Dallas Morning News from his home in California. He had not yet seen the movie (jury duty caused him to miss the premiere), but reflecting on his appearance, he said, 'My first experience was so good, I assumed I would have a good time again. And I did.' What do you remember from filming 'Freaky Friday'? I show up the first day to 'Freaky Friday' and Jamie Lee Curtis has called us into this classroom — all the actors — and she's at the front of the class. She said, 'Everybody, this is a very important movie we're doing and I want everyone to be on their best. We don't want anyone being late. We don't want anyone goofing off. We put all of our fun on the screen.' She was this great leader. So I shot 'Freaky Friday.' It's kind of a cute movie, OK? And I'm walking down Hollywood Boulevard one night. This is just absolutely the weirdest story in the world. And Mark Waters, the director of 'Freaky Friday,' comes out of a movie theatre across the street from the Chinese Theater. Mark Waters says, 'Oh, Stephen, have you seen any of 'Freaky Friday'?' I go, 'No.' Mark brings me into this theatre and he starts showing me scenes. I'm thinking this could be one of the best movies I've ever seen. What stood out to you? We all have this desire to see where we were before. ('Freaky Friday') plugs into the idea of, where was I? Where did I make the mistake? Where did I do the thing right that I didn't expect I would do right? It's the magic of being able to look back. Did you have any teachers who reminded you of Mr. Bates? Several teachers at Kimball (High School). My physics teacher, Melvin Moses. There's a little bit of Mr. Bates in him. My algebra teacher. They both fancied themselves as kind of humorous, but we were always so scared of them because they were so strict. But when you're an actor, you don't try to let the tail wag the dog. I don't want to say, 'Well I'm playing a teacher so I'm gonna take elements of one of my teachers into it.' (Mr. Bates), he's someone who never achieved what he thought he could achieve. And because of that he is a little jealous and a little envious. If you could swap bodies with someone, who would it be? One of the greatest people I ever knew was our Black maid, Lenora. We grew up in an incredibly racist area. She went from being our maid to eventually a district manager of Avon (a cosmetics company). And then she came over to our house and said, 'I'd like to buy your house and every stick of furniture in it.' My Mom and Dad said, 'OK.' She said, 'I always wanted to live in the house where I worked and I wanted to own it.' Doing stuff in show business, it's make-believe courage, but to know someone with real courage and going through real obstacles, that would be somebody whose shoes I would like to step inside.
