Art Melikgazi Municipality, which organized another cultural and artistic event in Melikgazi, held a pleasant discussion about calligraphy, one of the Turkish-Islamic arts.

Calligrapher Melikgazi Mayor Assoc. Dr. thanked everyone who contributed to the interview conducted by Mahmut Şahin. Mustafa Palancıoğlu said, “As a municipality that values ​​culture and art programs, we organize high-quality and art-filled programs in Art Melikgazi. We continue both training and workshop activities in Art Melikgazi. We have opened many courses in Art Melikgazi. There is a very high number of applications. I recently read an article that I liked very much. There is a subject that is actually very important in our civilization but that we have neglected. That is the pen and the word. That is, we don't write; unfortunately, we don't read enough books either. We have neglected these things a little. Actually, art includes activities that develop the family and the individual. That's why it's important. Hopefully, we will work to regain some of the values ​​we have lost here. Mahmut Hodja gave us a nice presentation and information. It was a nice conversation. I thank Mahmut Hodja. Turkish Islamic Arts hold an important place in our tradition. We hope to always welcome our citizens to these kinds of activities.” he said.

Calligrapher Mahmut Şahin, who explained the historical richness and aesthetic dimensions of calligraphy with presentations, shared his knowledge and experience regarding calligraphy with the participants.
