The eighteenth century witnessed new interest in Spain’s Islamic heritage. The most significant example of this fascination with the Islamic past is a suite of thirty-one prints entitled Antigüedadesárabes de España (Arabian Antiquities of Spain), issued by the Madrid Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1787. This lecture will demonstrate how this publication offers an invaluable point of entry into eighteenth-century conceptions of Islamic Iberia.

Mariposas negras (Black Butterflies), 2024
Directed by David Baute
This poignant animated film tells the story of three women from very different parts of the world who have something in common: they lose everything due to the effects of climate change and are forced to migrate in order to survive. Inspired by the experiences of real women, the film highlights the resilience of humanity in the face of an uncertain future. Mariposas negras received the award for Best Animated Film at the 39th Goya Awards.
