It is a fantastic exhibition, on show at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum until September 2024.
The focus of this fifth edition of the Power of the Word project is a graphic encyclopedia.
88 pages of manuscripts, of Iranian origin, and compiled in the 19th century, were found in the Museum's reserves. And what is contained in these pages?
The best thing is to go and visit the Museum! But we can tell you that these are a series of circular diagrams that seek to explain God, the Universe, and Humanity.
It took a multi-disciplinary team of philologists, scientists, designers, artists, educators and university students, Muslim and non-Muslim, to be able to uncover the secrets that these manuscripts contain. And a fundamental part of this team were Zohora Pirbhai, Nasrine Kara, Nurin Hassanali and Zohra Gabrani.
You really can't miss this exhibition!
