ATHAR  أثر    Live calligraphy & sound performance

Duration: 2 hours


Athar (Arabic), Asar (Persian), Eser (Turkish): trace, remnant, imprint. Same root, three tongues, one inheritance. The word holds both the physical mark on a surface and the act of transmission through time. In Persian, it also means: work of art, literary work, opus. Remnant and creation are the same noun. A body moves. Ink meets surface. The letter written, repeated, worn into abstraction has always been both a target and a tool. Sahar Homami works in Nastaliq (the classical Persian script of poetry and court), and siah mashgh, layered with gestural abstraction and meditative ambient electronic sounds. Repetition as resistance. The letter as archive. The trace persists after the body leaves.
