Discover the hidden treasures of language at a stunning exhibition celebrating cultural unity! Witness breathtaking calligraphy and artistic expressions that showcase the beauty of words ...

The event was dedicated to the International Mother Language Day and the 30th anniversary of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. Local artists invited attendees to the House of Friendship to explore their creative works.

The mother language is not merely a means of communication, but an integral part of an individual that connects generations across the ages. At the exhibition, visitors could see words and phrases beautifully written in various languages, all centered around a common theme. For instance, the audience learned how the words "peace," "unity," "love," "solidarity," "dream," and "friendship" are written in Kazakh, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Korean, and English.

– Language is our treasure that must be preserved and developed. Today, knowing several languages is a requirement of our time. There is a famous saying: "The more languages you know, the more times you are a human." It encourages reflection on the greatness and significance of languages in our lives. Indeed, the more languages a person knows, the richer and better they become spiritually. I hope that the younger generation will take inspiration from polyglots and that youth will learn several languages.
In the future, this will give them a noticeable advantage, – said Mubarak Zhinakbaeva, director of KGU "Public Accord."

Among the works, the calligraphy of Ekaterina Solovyanenko stands out, crafted in the style of English calligraphy masters. One cannot overlook the musical notation by Diana Shaikheslyamova, as well as the vibrant compositions by Oksana Shchibunok, who uses words not only as elements of a larger picture but also as part of the decor. Korean classics were also presented in a black-and-white color scheme, where one could read the words "love" and "harmony" in Hangul. And, of course, one must not miss the work of a true calligraphy master from the Land of the Rising Sun.

– Each language has its own historical journey, – said artist and craftsman Vera Maikovich. – They are all interesting in their own right and have different graphical representations. Calligraphy is one of the forms of visual art; this direction was particularly popular during the Soviet era, but with the advent of computers, people began to write less. A few years ago, it experienced a revival. My colleague and I had the opportunity to conduct lessons and workshops on calligraphy and lettering. It is worth noting that interest in this field within society has not waned.

In today's world, beautiful inscriptions can be found in personal diaries, scrapbooks, sketchbooks, cookbooks, wall newspapers, posters, and embroidery. Musicians used to actively employ them to design their albums.

The concluding highlight of the event was a challenge, during which each attendee wrote words related to the exhibition's theme on a shared sheet of paper. Such gatherings serve as a reminder of the diversity of cultures and languages in our country, as well as the fact that, despite our differences, we all represent a unified people of Kazakhstan.
