Cultural Events
AKU-ISMC’s approach includes taking into account the lived experiences of Muslims. A cultural series starting with literary works, The Novel Eye, is being offered to explore artistic expressions and representations of past and present cultures of Muslims and introduce an alternative framework through which these cultures can be studied and considered.
