Peace, solidarity and inter-religious dialogue: these were the themes expressed in art works on display in the first national exhibition of sacred calligraphy. Guest of honour was 45-year-old Shafiq Shad Khan, a renowned Christian-Muslim philosopher of Pakistan, who exhibited his works for the 111th time. The works exhibited by Khan confirm the inaugural speech: the artist presented calligraphic illustrations of sacred texts from both religions in Latin and Punjabi characters.
