Behold the second opus of our ‘Muslim Odyssey’ series!
Season one saw us frequenting the sumptuous desert palaces of the Damascene Umayyads during their short-lived, yet variegated one-century at the helm of the Muslim world.
We now set sail for a destination across the meandering Mediterranean to a drab and dreary domain, at land’s precipice on the Atlantic Ocean. Unbeknownst to the world, its under-exploited provinces were about to be given a new lease of life: to be momentarily erased from the map in the future, but forever celebrated for its melancholy contrast of eight-centuries worth of glory and gloom as Al-Andalus.
Students are encouraged to attend live to benefit from the interactive session. Recordings will be available for students who are unable to attend due to exceptional circumstances.
