SUMMARY:The Metaverse and its Premoderns: Islam in an Expanding Reality
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \n  \nIn February 2022\, Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs landed in the news when it announced that performing the pilgrimage to Mecca in the Metaverse does not count as a ‘real hajj’. Mixed reactions to this declaration aside\, this talk argues that\, in the Metaverse era\, the existence of a visible but immaterial realm is not just avant-garde\, post-modern\, or\, worse\, a ‘blameworthy innovation’. Instead\, today’s Muslim imaginary worlds draw upon and find echoes in premodern Islamic artworks\, objects\, and other forms of creative expression. The Metaverse also recalls the so-called ‘realm of similitudes’ (‘alam al-mithal) developed in historical Islamic dream thought\, whose definitional contours and imagistic boundaries vary and enlarge over time. Such changes occur not only in the minds of spiritual sojourners\, but also through technological innovations\, all of which converge today to craft immersive worlds that reaffirm a historical past\, play with forms in the present\, and project poetic visions of what might come next. \n  \nRegister for Webinar

SUMMARY:Workshop: Race and Gender in Islamic Art
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized by Christiane Gruber\, Holley Ledbetter\, and Alex Dika Seggerman \nParticipants: \nMichelle Al-Ferzly\nSascha Crasnow\nAshley M. Dimmig\nMelanie Gibson\nChristiane Gruber\nNegar Habibi\nHolley Ledbetter\nNancy Micklewright\nMika Natif\nAlex Dika Seggerman\nSandra Williams
