Musicalligraphy

October 23 - Lecture
Art Lecture Hall, CA 2032 at 6:30 p.m.
In this hour-long lecture, Bahman Panahi delves into the unique concept of Musicalligraphy—an innovative exploration of the intersection between calligraphy and music. Drawing from years of research and practice, Panahi presents how these two disciplines, seemingly distinct, converge, through shared principles of rhythm, harmony, gesture, expression and history.
The lecture offers insights into the parallels between musical notation and the structure of calligraphic elements, highlighting the balance of silence and sound, as well as the synchronization of the ear and hand in both arts. Panahi demonstrates how calligraphic compositions can reflect musical dynamics and how musical rhythms can inspire visual creativity.
Through a combination of audio visuals, and an interactive Q&A session, participants will gain an understanding of how calligraphy and music transcend boundaries, becoming powerful tools for artistic expression. This lecture is suitable for art and music enthusiasts, professors, students, and professionals seeking new perspectives on interdisciplinary creativity and study.
