Whats happening in London?
Ive heard there is a great exhibition going on in The British Museam on Modern Middle Eastern Art. Its apparently got a beautiful selection of Quranic calligraphy aswell. For those of you who can go its on until September and should be a culture enritching exprience!

Sometimes as Londeners we neglect and miss out on wonderful exhibitions such as this one. London really does have alot to offer and if only we lived the life of a tourist for at least a week im sure we would view London in a compltely different light! Ive lived here all my life and really feel so happy and lucky to have grown up in such a multicultural society which has so much to offer!

Oh yes the best part of this art exhibition...... ITS FREEEEE!

Word into Art: Artists of the Modern Middle East is an exhibition based largely on the collections of the British Museum complemented by a number of loans. It demonstrates the imaginative ways in which artists across the Middle East and North Africa are using the power of the written word in their art today.

The exhibition includes wonderful examples of calligraphy transforming writing into art, books of poetry, and works which reflect current issues facing the modern Middle East.
