Dear friends,

It is my pleasure to invite you to the first in a series of lunch time conversations to be hosted by the Tombouctou Manuscripts Project. The Project is now located at HUMA (Institute for Humanities in Africa). The series, entitled 'Calligraphic Africa: on the means and ends of writing" is intended as a platform for the discussion of writing cultures and book history on the continent. The first set of talks will be held on Tuesdays throughout April and May.

We begin on Tuesday 12 April with a talk entitled "Western Calligraphy: dead or alive?", presented by Leesette Turner of the Cape Friends for Calligraphy. Snacks will be provided.

Please see the attached document.
