SISLA: Beate Fricke (University of Bern), “Miracles of Mediation. Still-Life, Liturgical Vessels, and Processions at Cordoba.”

In these challenging times, as institutions try to adapt to the constraints imposed by the need for social distancing, many have attempted to make their events and resources available to the widest possible audience online. Having been obliged by the situation to cancel our long-planned Silsila lecture program for this spring, part of that program will move online.

In addition to offering some intellectual stimulation during this period of lockdown, our hope is to reconstitute in the realm of the virtual the sense of community that the Center has tried to foster since its inception, as part of the university’s larger mission.
