Bringing together works that ra nge from traditional pen-and-paper\n\ncompositions to sculptural forms\, i nstallations\, and multimedia experiences\,\n\nthis exhibition reveals cal ligraphy as both a living artistic tradition and as a\n\ncontinually evolv ing contemporary artistic practice.\n\nAt its core\, Post-Script honors th e discipline of calligraphy in its most\n\nfundamental form\, the intimate relationship between ink\, paper\, and gesture\,\n\nwhile also challengin g the boundaries of where calligraphy can exist and the\n\nways in which i t can be experienced. Through the experimental approaches\n\nof contempora ry calligraphers Farzana Razzaque and Mahdi Dolatyari\, this\n\nexhibition examines the manner in which artists renegotiate the practice of\n\ncalli graphy and its ability to transform the written word\, both typographicall y\n\nand topographically\, into fluid expressions imbued with new material s\, spaces\,\n\nand contexts.\n\nDrawing from the artists’ experiences w ith language\, translation\, diaspora\,\n\nand belonging\, “script” in this context serves as a vessel for memory\,\n\nidentity\, and personal h istories.

Clara remembers the night a young boy knocked on her door after 10:30 p.m. in search of food. She was aware of the difficulties fami lies encounter in meeting basic needs because she was a working single par ent. “God showed me that I had to do something for the kids in the commu nity\,” she says.

C.H.A.T. offers educati onal support\, mentorship\, recreation\, meals\, and wellness resources th rough collaborations with the Cedar Hill Independent School District\, an active presence at the Alan E. Sims Recreation Center\, and participation in neighborhood events. In addition to providing for immediate needs\, the ir initiatives create connections within the community and pave the road f or long-term success. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n North Texas Giving Day offers C.H.A.T. e xposure\, interaction\, and the opportunity to increase impact. Donations support the nonprofit’s operating expenses\, enabling them to continue m eaningfully serving Cedar Hill’s youth and seniors through matching gift s and increased community awareness.
