Writing Feedback / TED Summary : Street Art With A message Of Hope And Peace by El Seed [2]
There is a grey minaret Jara Mosque in Tunisia which is built in 1994. It has become more attractive and has got more attention from the local, even international press all across the globe. The most interesting part was its Caligraffiti which is a mix between Calligraphy and Graffiti. It was painted by El Seed, a talented Arabic man who was born and raised in Paris, France. He has that golden hands to create several universal messages through his painting on the wall, furthermore he stated that writing message is the essence of his artwork. Then,it is proved by that minaret's caligraffiti quotes which picked from a verse in Quran which says " Oh humankind, we have created you from a male and female and made you people tribe, so you may know each other".It was an universal call for peace, tolerance, and acceptance. Moreover, he stated so clearly that his goal in painting graffiti is breaking the stereotypes with the beauty of Arabic script. He didn't want to break lyrics of the poetry in the calligraphy. As it is an art and can be appreciated without knowing the meaning. It is the same with enjoying music from other countries. Some people assumed that this kind of graffiti is a rejection or a closed door, however he believed that it is an invitation, to his language, his culture, and to his art. He is so proud of his religion, that is why he loves his job so much.
