An Evening of Exploration: Latino and Islamic Cultural Connections
IN PERSON
Join us for an evening of exploration of the historical threads that tie Islamic and Latino cultures, co-hosted with PBS SoCal. This special program will highlight images, food, and stories that illustrate the long-standing intersections between these two cultures.
Before the keynote lecture by Dr. Mariam Saada, you will be able to enjoy a guided tour of Sangre de Nopal/Blood of the Nopal: Tanya Aguiñiga & Porfirio Gutiérrez en Conversación/in Conversation, which recently opened at the Fowler.
Dr. Mariam Saada is an expert in Spanish Historical Linguistics. She specializes in Arabic and Islamic historical documents from the 16th-17th centuries of the Iberian Peninsula and the 17th-18th centuries of Latin America.
