           Explore the significance of the work of artist Iba Ndiaye (1928–2008) with an esteemed group of international scholars. Ndiaye has emerged as a foundational figure in international Modernism, yet his contributions remain largely unknown outside Africanist circles and his Senegalese birthplace. Gain a deeper understanding of what shaped his artistic practice, including sources of inspiration across The Met collection and his unique personal history, which was formed by political legacies and global exchange.

           Join scholar Layla Diba for a richly illustrated lecture exploring the theme of the unrequited love of the nightingale for the rose in Persian art and poetry, inspired by the life and work of Annemarie Schimmel. Investigating its long history across the centuries and constant reinvigoration by Chinese and European imports, this lecture also argues for the deep roots of this theme in Persian culture. The talk focuses on the apogee of this theme in the 18th and 19th centuries and the manifold literary, religious, and political meanings it embodied as critical factors for its longevity and final triumph, not just as a flexible decorative motif but as a profound symbol of earthly and divine love.

           In Calcutta, the cosmopolitan colonial capital of 19th-century India, artists and artisans adapted new technologies of mechanical reproduction to render the Hindu gods more accessible and affordable. During this time, they pioneered the chromolithographic religious print, a form of popular devotional imagery that became ubiquitous in twentieth-century India. This lecture explores how this new genre emerged and proliferated into the pervasive visual language of modern India.
