A-D-M

The A-D-M exhibition tool place in June 2018 at Middleton Hall in Milton Keynes MK Centre.  A-D-M:The Adam project is an artistic collaboration between renowned photographer Peter Sanders, established calligrapher Soraya Syed and award winning designer Mukhtar Sanders.
The group were inspired to create a work that captured the diversity of worship in mankind while reflecting the spirit of the Arabic word Adam. Referring to the first of mankind or meaning ‘man’, Adam is calligraphed in Thuluth script. Three simple letters construct this most primordial word: A–alif, D-dal and M-meem.

As the Quran exhorts, we are all children of Adam: And among his wonders is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colours: for in this, behold, there are messages indeed for all who are possessed of [innate] knowledge! Quran 30:22
Furthermore: O men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, [15] and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. [16] Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware. Quran 49:13
