This weekend I will be teaching a couple of workshops on Urdu Calligraphy at the Pulitzer Museum, St. Louis. Some of you have followed my work and I am incredibly thankful for your support. My latest gig at Pulitzer is tied to a larger exhibition that relates to refugees, diaspora, and displacement.
