ART SCIENCE dialogue: Abul Hisham: History& Religion in Migration 21 January 2025 16:00 - 18:00

Share
For the Foreign Land exhibition, the VU ART SCIENCE gallery and dialogue stage 3D invite artists and researchers to explore the concept of migration. In the ART SCIENCE dialogues, we hope to develop a better understanding of migration and its various drivers, history, religion, economic change, war and colonialism.

The first dialogue will focus on artist Abul Hisham and his artwork Forgotten Prayers Of The Nameless And Unidentified. Together with Ulbe Bosma, Aleeha Ali and Laurens Minnema, Hisham will discuss the topic of history and religion in the context of migration. The audience is invited to participate in this discussion.
