The Albayrak Group marked its 11th year of supporting Islamic calligraphy art with a grand opening of the Âdil-i Mutlak exhibition at Tophane-i Âmire. Having dedicated over a decade to promoting calligraphy through exhibitions and calendar projects, the Group embarked on its 2025 program with the Âdil-i Mutlak Calligraphy Artworks Exhibition. The exhibition featured works by thirteen master calligraphers depicting verses on justice, complemented by illuminated manuscripts and new pieces from Savaş Çevik’s “Calligraphy, Cubism, and New Designs” series. Innovative installation art and digital works were also presented to art enthusiasts, while prominent figures from public and private institutions attended the opening ceremony.

Since 2014, the Albayrak Group has pursued its journey in calligraphy without interruption, celebrating its 11th year with the Âdil-i Mutlak theme. The exhibition, held on January 8 at Tophane-i Âmire, was attended by Süleyman Soylu, AK Party Member of Parliament for Istanbul; members of the Albayrak Group Board of Directors; Dr. Nurettin Canikli, Vice Chairman of the Albayrak Group Board; Istanbul Deputy Governor Cengiz Karabulut; Hüseyin Keskin, Head of Istanbul Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism; and Selim Terzi, General Director of Living Heritage and Cultural Events.
