The event was presided over by Anwar Shaoor himself, whose presence was an inspiration for the audience present on the occasion.

The poetic session flowed unhindered under the skilled moderation of Khalilullah Farooqui, a well-known voice from radio and media.

The calligraphy featured in the exhibition was done in both traditional Nastaleeq and modern, contemporary styles. The artists depicted Allah’s name and verses from the Quran in their works, in their own styles. Fatima Arzoo Hassan’s abstract calligraphy was a standout piece—her textured canvas, featuring Allah impeccably written in white against interplay of blue and white hues, was visually captivating.
