A lecture, hosted by the College of Liberal Arts, will give students and faculty insight into Islamic culture and history by discussing art and religion.
The second event in the College of Liberal Arts’ Festival of Ideas is a lecture by Francesca Leoni, the assistant curator of the “Arts of the Islamic World” at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
The lecture will take place at 6 p.m. on Thursday in Architecture Building Room 204.
Leoni said her lecture will focus on the Shahnama, “The Book of Kings,” a Persian epic poem, and its influence on Islamic art. The Shahnama is the longest epic written, with over 60,000 rhyming couplets.
