Visiting Assistant Professor Ravinder Binning has organized a conference at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence on “Medieval Nubia in a Transcultural Horizon: Art, Architecture, Epigraphy.”
In this interdisciplinary workshop, experts on medieval Nubian culture will present recent research to a community of scholars working broadly on premodern art history. Topics will range from issues of display and the historiography of Nubian art to costume and depictions of sacred authority. The workshop will also focus on how novel methodological approaches will better position Nubia within histories of medieval art in the global past and present.
More information about the conference can be found here.
The conference takes place in Florence on October 13, but will also be streamed via Zoom. You can register for virtual attendance here.
