VOICED : Coran de seda para preservar patrimonio cultural en Afganistan

The video discusses the creation of a Quran by 38 calligraphers and miniature painters over two years, aiming to preserve the art of calligraphy in Afghanistan. The Quran, made of silk and leather, was crafted by artists trained at the Turquoise Mountain Institute in Kabul. The project uses the nask script for its readability and employs natural pigments for decoration. Turquoise Mountain, established in 2006, focuses on preserving Afghanistan's cultural heritage, including ceramics, woodworking, and calligraphy. The foundation hopes this Quran will lead to more commissions, providing work for trained artisans.
