Description
In the impoverished south of Iraq, Wael al-Ramadan picks up one of his calligraphy styluses and draws elegantly curved Arabic letters. Ramadan welcomes UNESCO's decision to list Arabic calligraphy -- "Islamic Arabic art" -- as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, following a request by 16 countries including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt and Morocco.
