The show, which will remain open until September 12, presents 24 paintings and three installations, offering a modern perspective on love as a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers.\n\nArtist Shahida Ahmed stated that love is a human language that doesn't require translation, and her art can convey this concept in a manner that surpasses words and geographical boundaries. She explained that love is not merely a written word but a feeling and a visual experience that anyone can sense.\n\nArabic calligraphy, with its beauty and visual richness, served as a significant inspiration for Ahmed's work. She discovered in the Arabic letters an opportunity to explore the relationships between words, shapes, colors, and light. The exhibition, titled \"Hubb | Love,\" seeks to embody the values of peace, solidarity, and communication, aiming to facilitate dialogue between cultures through the medium of art. Shahida Ahmed is a renowned contemporary British artist, writer, and podcast presenter, whose work delves into themes of language, identity, culture, and human connection.",
