What role has art played in the history of the Islamic world? How have practices around “Islamic art” transformed as the religion has crisscrossed cultures and times? This dynamic program will begin with a presentation introducing audiences to Islamic art followed by a workshop in which participants can get hands-on experience with ebru, or Turkish paper marbling—a centuries-old art form that has evolved alongside religious traditions of calligraphy and bookmaking.
