Workshop: Race and Gender in Islamic Art

The Race and Gender in Islamic Art Workshop brings together a group of scholars who seek to acknowledge the ways in which race and gender converge and jointly impact codes of representation in Islamic image-making practices over the centuries. Exploring the artistic traditions of the lands of Islam writ large—from the Middle East to the United States and from the medieval period to today—the workshop addresses how the visual cultures of the Islamic world can help expand, refine, and problematize the intersections of race and gender beyond Euro-American spheres.
