ECO Cultural Institute showcases the Harmony of Calligraphy and Peace

The ECO Cultural Institute (ECI)—the specialized cultural agency of the ten-member Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) based in Tehran—organized a program titled “Borderless Borders”, a cultural event featuring the works of emerging Iranian calligraphy artist Aatefeh Noushavand. The program highlighted the profound connection between traditional art and the universal message of peace.
As a committed platform for cultural collaboration, ECI continues to support initiatives that bring together artists, intellectuals, and peace advocates from its member states. In his remarks, Dr. Saad S. Khan, President of ECI, praised Ms. Noushavand’s creative vision and emphasized the role of cultural programs in promoting peace. Referring to current global conflicts—such as the war in Ukraine, the bombing of Gaza since 2023, and heightened tensions between Pakistan and India—he stressed the urgent need for such initiatives in today’s world.
Prominent figures from the calligraphy community, including Mr. Sandoogh Abadi, Mr. Ali Ganji, and Mr. Buroonmand, attended the opening ceremony, showing their support and appreciation for Ms. Noushavand’s artistic contributions.
The event also featured musical performances by the Saba Music Group at the opening and conclusion.
ECI reaffirms its commitment to fostering dialogue, understanding, and peace through cultural and artistic exchange.
The exhibition is open to the public for one week, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the ECO Cultural Institute, Tehran.
