“Illuminated Symmetries”, Miniature Painting Workshop with Farkhondeh Ahmadzadeh (VIP)

Led by artist and master miniaturist Farkhondeh Ahmadzadeh, this workshop offers an introduction to Persian miniature painting through the visual and symbolic universe of Haft Peykar, Niẓāmī’s celebrated allegorical poem. Participants explore sacred geometry, natural pigments, calligraphy, and the symbolic role of color and form. The workshop reveals how traditional techniques and precise compositions give shape to stories of love, transformation, and spiritual journey.
