Overview

In early July, the mayor of Pursaklar publicly praised a local exhibition featuring Tezhip and calligraphy, highlighting municipal support for the art form.

Later in the month, a separate exhibition opened in Kastamonu’s TDV Bookstore after Friday prayers. Organized by master calligrapher Altan Yılmaz, it showcased works by students who completed a two‑year Hüsn‑i Hat course at the Turkey Diyanet Vakfı dormitory. Yılmaz emphasized Kastamonu’s historic contribution to the tradition and stressed the importance of preserving Hüsn‑i Hat for future generations.

Together, the snapshots illustrate a series of community‑backed events across Turkey aimed at reviving and celebrating traditional Islamic calligraphy.
