Description
Soraya Syed is a classically trained calligrapher, artist, and filmmaker based in London. In 2005, she received an icazetname (the authoritative Islamic calligraphy licence) from Istanbul, Türkiye. Syed has been on a mission since then to constantly push the boundaries of what is expected of this traditional art form. She creates her artwork in a contemporary style while remaining true to her artistic heritage. Syed takes the written word off the page and into film, dance, and virtual reality, and has previously collaborated with Google, the British Museum, and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
